This is my husband. He is wonderful. Not only is he a lot of fun to be around, he is caring and unconditional in his love.
He is also shorter than me.
Is that a problem?
Its only a few centimetres difference, but unfortunately its a difference that most people notice,
and most people feel the need to comment on.
When my husband watches movies, he sees the buff, tall powerfully masculine hero go after the girl, win her heart and protect her against all odds.
Guess how that makes him feel.
:/
Shorter guys are told that its less likely for them to be in a fulfilling relationships. Shorter guys are unconsciously told that they cannot protect the women in their lives because they are not a tall unit. Shorter guys feel like second best, and women dont realise that they are inflicting it.
According to a study, heterosexual relationships are highly skewed towards a tall man (around 15cms taller) and a shorter woman.
In 1986, a study done by the University of Michigan found that 92.7% of men were taller than their spouses.
Yes, it really is that bad.
Whats worse, that these statistics mean most single, shorter guys feel like they have no chance in getting into a relationship.
Another study, found that 49% of women only want to date taller guys. Half of all women, will only notice the tall guys, only accept first dates from tall guys, and only give their number to tall guys.
Ouch.
But that same study showed that only 13.5% of guys want to date women who are shorter than them.
That means, most guys will give any girl a first date, not based off how tall or short she might be. Guys will give more taller girls a chance, meaning they understand love cant be measured by the perfect tall guy-short girl relationship type.
These need to stop.
Every tall guy DOES NOT need a short girl. He needs a girl who will love and accept him for who he is, which DOES NOT depend on height.
Stop trying to measure love in height differences.
Tip toe kisses are not the best kisses- the kiss as you marry your best friend thats the best kiss.
Love, sex, kisses, dates, perfect relationships ARE NOT based off of height differences.
The following conversation is one I had with a teenaged girl once.
"Do you like him?"
"Ah, no he is just a friend. He isnt my type."
"Why isnt he your type?"
"Im more into taller guys, to be honest".
Girls, stop looking at the shorter guys and writing them off just because of their height. Age is just a number, and so is your height.
Date the guys who care about you, who want you for who you are.
And be a girl who looks at guys for who they are, not how tall they are.
I am married to a shorter guy.
Height doesnt matter to us.
Love matters.
