I don't want to date the Captain of any Ship.

I'd prefer the First Mate. Is that unusual?

I'm tall (blessing and a curse) at 5 9. So far I haven't dated anyone my height or shorter. Gotta be at least an inch or two taller than me. And I wear heels usually...so yeah, maybe 6 foot?

For me I don't feel as feminine or dainty if I 'm with a man who is shorter than me. Insecure? Sure, call it what you will. But I like to feel like a girl.

Admit it, you're fantasizing about Gilligan. *grin*

Or is that First Mate a sexual comment...? *grin*

I'm the same height and totally agree.

Yeah yeah... I either want to be really tall or really short. I'm right in the middle. Always average.

Ahh the great question! Well I am 5.10....and I have dated guys taller AND shorter. Not generally shorter by much...an inch or two....but I did once date a guy (briefly) who was 5.6. And yes, I'll admit, I did feel a little uncomfortable sometimes.

Now, I'll admit I prefer guys my height or taller....just for functional purposes But I would never NOT consider a guy who was amazing and I had great chemistry with, just because he was shorter.
