Tall and well-built has become my type. How can I give short men a chance? | Leading questions
Attraction can reveal unflattering truths, writes advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith – perhaps reflect on what your preference says about your values

When I was younger I didn’t have a type when it came to the men I fell for or agreed to date. Two years ago I met someone who was tall and handsome. He can be described as an alpha male that anybody would want to date. He broke my heart so bad. The problem is now, “tall and well-built” has become my type.
I connected with some guy online. He seemed OK. He’s funny and genuinely interested in me. Then he threw me a question about how tall I was. I figured he isn’t so tall and he wanted to make sure he was taller than me. It put me off and I am reluctant to go further with him or agree on meeting as I don’t want to waste his time or cause him any insecurity if his height is a dealbreaker for me.
I don’t know if the first guy has given me an alpha male complex or that sort of thing? Is there a way to overcome this so that I can see men for who they are, not what their heights are?
