Question for the taller women here
| Thu, 10-25-2007 - 9:35pm |
Have any of you met a guy that you got along with well and you find attractive until you discover he's shorter than you?

'..The taller they are, the sexier they become to me :)'
Totally agree, 100%. And
Not at all. You are just being normal. Normal women across all cultures, races and nationalities, respond instinctively to height. The traits that most attract women to men - strength, virility and dominance, or at least the appearance of those, are easily summed up in one easy to spot attribute -height.

I guess this is why short people often marry other short people.
"... There are all sorts of inequalities within relationships, and sometimes, unavoidably - a pox on you, modern times! - they will be in the woman's favour, but nothing so unfailingly tickles the world as the woman being taller.
This is a bit of an issue for me, since I am quite tall at 5ft 10in; not freakishly tall, but tall enough that some men have, tragically, been off limits because I worried that I might scare them. I can, therefore, point to a refinement within the "fella should be taller" rule, closely observed over a period of decades. If the woman is tall and the man is incredibly beefy, so that their weight differential is stacked conventionally in his favour, that will raise very little remark. So, even though Nicole Kidman is substantially taller than Tom Cruise, she is so waif-like that society as a whole wasn't that bothered by their marriage; Katie Holmes, just by virtue of her broader frame, has suffered more "look at your squitty husband" mockery.
The same is true of the Dahl/Callum union, which would be a lot less commented on if he weren't a slight wee thing and she weren't so Amazonian. The underlying thinking is not about height, therefore; it is "Who can overpower whom?" Weirdly, we still require men to be able to dominate their partner physically, even though there is no place for that in a modern relationship. "
