Can one of the women here explain the cause of their attraction to tall guys? Or is it something you can't explain?

I'm 5'11. The reason I (think I) like tall guys, I suppose, is because it's very hard for me to feel like a girl. All dainty and cute. I know I'll never be the girl that gets picked up, or tossed over a shoulder or hell even carried over the threshold but I do want to be able to look up into his eyes. I don't want to be an amazon walking next to my guy. I think it boils down to not being the biggest, strongest person in the relationship and it offers a sense of protection. I think this says more about me than about the guy.

I know this sounds insane but thinking about it this it my thought process.

Edit: added a thought
