Also, it's the short ones who are mean about this.
Women 5 9 and over have fabulous personalities. I really think they are extremely down to earth and some don't even mind going out with a shorter man. My girlfriend is 5 9.5 and that's the same as I am. And she had no problem with the Duchamp Dude.
However, I have had some women as short as 5 1 tell me that I am short and that 6 is a good height for them. Bizarro.
Wow. I didn't know that dating a short guy was such a monumental tragedy. Read some of the comments.
Actually, I think she's using a sort of writers hyperbole to admit that although social norms subconsciously and consciously bother her, she throws them aside because she enjoys the man as a partner.
Writers need to sensationalize to survive. I'd probably have some similar thoughts if I was dating somebody that was much taller, but I don't care what society says. Of course, I wouldn't publish an article telling my girlfriend how 'subconsciously I am embarrassed of her height' but I'm not a writer.
I respect the fact that she would date a smaller man, not many women would. I don't really respect her personality trait of airing her insecurities at the expense of her boyfriend's feelings, but I understand it.
I think tall and overweight women are pretty much the equivalent of short men in society. Shame, because it's just so odd for them to get together. Society really is a cruel S.O.B.
i'm reading other articles on this site, and the comments, etc.
it's funny to me how you have a bunch of feminist women who will verbally accost you for, you know, saying anything about a woman's body (positively or negatively)
but you read the comments and they'll go 40, 50 comments-deep , going into explicit detail about men's bodies, and what they find attractive, unattractive, acceptable and unacceptable, and this never seems to cross anyone's mind.
Women that short deeming me short. Maybe in their world, a guy 5 9 is short
