Not all women date based on height, but that being said, I do prefer a man that is taller and heavier than me (I'm 5'5" and about 100 pounds, so, I'm not ruling many out, LOL). You can prefer whomever you prefer, we all have preferences whether we want to admit it or not. And often what we think we like or don't like doesn't matter when we meet the right person. I didn't think I'd be attracted to a heavier man, and when I met my husband, he was damn close to 400 pounds and he was, and is absolutely perfect for me
However, you didn't dump a short guy, you dumped an asshole and good on you for that!
