I'm a small girl: 5ft 2 and UK size 10 (US size 6) so I like tall men because of the the whole protector thing plus (and I know this will cause offence) if I went out with a short guy and we were going to get married I would not like to think that my children would be short. My fiancee is 6ft and quite big so we do look a bit funny together and I have to tip toe to kiss him but I like to know that he can defend me. I know a short man probably could toobut when your a little girl you always imagine when yougrow upyour manshouldbe a lot taller than you. I've been to places like concerts where I have been shoved out of the way by people bigger than me and my man always shoves them back or makes sure there's room for me and its a nice feeling to know he can do that.
