It's more so the whole protective thing as well. I'm extremely short so in order to compensate, I'd look for tall guys. I mean, I would date guys of average height, but I believe that's somewhere up in 5'9 for men. I definitely wouldn't date short guys though. I mean, who would help me get stuff up in the last shelf?

Install lower shelves, make your house like the smurfs :)

In America its recently around 5'9 for average in my country its closer to 5'7 and a half.

But as far as protection I'd have to ask, protection from what? Are guys really having streetfights to defend their princess in 2017? More often than not if someone is going to attack you they are going to do it in a group, which makes height pretty useless. I might be able to kick the ass of a 5'6 guy if we were fighting fairly, but if he had a 5'3 sidekick, I'm gonna get smoked.
