I always dated men over 6'2". I actually sought them out (color was never a factor as long as they were Af Am). About 6 mos after I met my husband I realized that he is only a couple of inches taller than I (I'm 5'6") and that he's actually quite handsome.
It's funny how when I fell, I fell hard. His looks were just sooo far from my heart that they didn't even register for the longest time. And before that, looks were so very important! Go figure.
