Search Results: is my confidence hurting me

I'm an average height guy who likes tall women. I understand that some can't get over the height differennce, and I still want to put my preference in my dating profile or tell a date that sometime if they feel bad about their height. Also, if they're around my height or taller and go out with me, that tells me they have confidence and aren't bothered by the height difference. I still pay attention to who they are as a person, but I figure if I compliment them on their stature, they may feel fetishized.

I've been called hurtful things before for stating other preferences in conversation with people, like how I want someone who takes care of themselves. I'm by no means the hottest guy in the world, but my ideal partner doesn't fit society's standards, so I might fit someone elses, too. I'm never mean to anyone for their looks, but feel I can't be honest with a woman if that's why I reject them because it could hurt their feelings.
