Well as a shorter woman (5'5'') before heels if we're talking what's called "civvie dating" i'm more attracted to men 5'10'' and taller. While I might NOT NEED to feel protected by someone bigger (or taller rather) ... I like it. I prefer it.
I like the idea of looking up at my man and I like the feeling of him covering/hovering over me, feeling enveloped in his presence, I like him leaning down over me a little bit to get a kiss. It doesn't make me feel small though as in weak or inferior in the least bit....if anything I might just feel more beautiful. And I like/don't mind the weird looks IF any of/while being with a much taller man if i'm not wearing any shoes that add to my height.
I've heard women say that they like dating taller guys because it makes them feel smaller or petite or protected. I hate feeling smaller or petite and I don’t need to feel protected. I feel sexier having a guy stand on a curb to kiss me. It makes me feel like a goddess. I’m statuesque. I love my height, so why would I want to hide that? Is that so weird?
I’ve finally accepted this little preference of mine. Sure, I might get weird looks when I show up with a cute shorty on my arm, but I don’t care. In fact, I love it. Everyone should be as lucky to feel as comfortable with the person they’re with as I do.
