as a 5'9 tranny i used to not really care much about height in guys, like my longest term bf was a tiny bit shorter than me even and i never really understood why girls were so picky about it. i thought of a guy being taller than me as nice to have but not essential. then today i went on a date with a guy who must be 6'4 or taller (we met irl so i haven't asked his height bc that's weird) and suddenly i understand. even wearing small heels i had to stand on my toes to hug him properly, i felt so small, it was cute. this may have ruined me.
