I don’t understand why you’d ask when the person is right there with you. You can see how tall they are. I’m the average height of men where I live, and for whatever reason the tall guys here 95% of the time seem to date short women (which looks really weird to me but I’m the product of a union just like that - mom 5’4" dad 6’4", so maybe it’s nature trying not to breed us into giants). I have really mostly only dated guys within an inch or two of my height, in both directions. Husband is almost exactly my height. Which all makes sense since such a large chunk of the guys here are close to my height.
Anyway - I don’t ask, but have been asked, quite accusingly sometimes, as though I am being tall to make a guy feel short and they are offended.
Could be nature trying to enforce the mean. Too short and too tall means you get somewhere in the middle? I’m outside the norm since I’m taller than my father anyway.
