I’m between 6’0" and 6’1", and while I’ve occasionally expressed a preference for shorter women in the past, I’ve dated women from 4’8" to 6’3" without a problem. My vote is for “not creepy”, especially in light of the statistical average difference being nearly six inches.

Someone has to do it (well, no, but dammit I have seen hardly any of it lately and it’s not the dope without a…). How YOU doin’?
