Is it normal to only be attracted to tall guys?

I have a boyfriend at the moment who is the same height as me. I really like him and he's a wonderful person, treats me well etc. However, the fact he isn't taller than me kinda feels wrong.

I've always normally dated and been attracted to guys taller than me. I'm 5 ft 4 so not exactly tall and I think I enjoy being with someone taller because it makes me feel protected.

Maybe it's an evolutionary thing! But I would never want to mention this to him to avoid offending him.

Is this normal?

    Yes, completely normal. It is an evolutionary thing, as a taller mate would likely be a better provider, for numerous reasons. So don't feel as if your the only one. I can guaranty that most females feel the same way.

    It's natural for a short female to want to feel protected. However, a tall male is not necessarily stronger than a short female. Case in point: I am a tall skinny guy. One day, I met a short fat girl. At the time, I stood a towering 6-foot-1 but I weighed a measly 125 pounds (I was obviously VERY TALL AND VERY SKINNY!!!) while she stood a mere 4-foot-9 but she weighed a massive 195 pounds (she was obviously VERY SHORT AND VERY FAT!!!). In other words, I towered over her BY MORE THAN A FOOT while she outweighed me BY MORE THAN FIFTY POUNDS!!! After she and I got to know each other, I went over to her apartment. After I arrived, I saw her lifting weights. She was doing the clean and jerk. I watched her while she grabbed a big, heavy, fully-loaded barbell from the floor and then I continued watching her while she easily swung it up over her shoulders. I was almost in disbelief. I watched her while she easily jerked that big, heavy, fully-loaded barbell right up over her head!!! I just stood there, stunned, because I already knew I couldn't do it despite my being a male and her being a female and despite the fact that I stood way taller than she did. After she set the barbell back down, she walked over to me. While she and I stood in front of each other, she looked way up at me and then she said to me: "Now let's see you do it." I looked way down at her and then I said to her: "I can't do it." "I AM WAY TOO SKINNY!!!" She insisted that I try so I walked over to the barbell and then I grabbed it from the floor. I tried to lift it up over my shoulders. I COULDN'T EVEN GET IT ABOVE MY KNEES!!! She knew I was embarrassed so she told me that she likes the fact that I am way taller than she is and I told her that I like the fact that she is way bigger and stronger than I am. She reached up and then she kissed me. She and I then walked over to the sofa where we both lay down and then she and I continued kissing each other while we both proceeded to caress each other.

    I'm 185 centimeters so I do get you. I sadly sometimes have to make do with shorter guys because there's just so many other factors! My current boyfriend is however 193 centimeters and it feels bloody wonderful! been taller than my two previous exes.

    Height is irrelevant to me.

    I'm 6'7 and I like really short girls in the 5 to 5'6 range. It feels wrong when they start to get to 6'
