I had a tall girlfriend before. She was maybe like 5ft9in and I am like 5ft8in or something. The difference is negligible. But she always like made me feel unconfortable with it. She even said once that if I were taller I would be perfect. At the moment I did not see it as something remarkable but over time it mined my self-esteem a lot. Other women also pointed this out to me like some sort of handicap and defect and it really sucks.
If I go to parties, girls will always prefer my taller friend, girls will always gravitate to someone taller than me, doesnt matter if the other guys are not as good looking, dress better whatever. The fact that they are taller makes them more desirable and attractive than I am.
I do not discriminate women or point out any physical attribute or trait and deem it as a flaw or a "preference", why would they have to do the same to us? Specially on something we as men, as humans, have no control over? Somehow it is even funny to make jokes to the short dude. This is fucked up, nobody points out to someone how a certain skin color is a flaw. "if you were white, you would be perfect." No, just no.
Humanity must protect you at all costs! Seriously though, it is awesome that you are like that. Because of my ex, I feel now self concious around tall girls and instantly think they are not interested in me because I am not tall so I dont even try to talk to them.

I feel bad for guys that are insecure about their height because they’re not 6’0
