I think you'll find that most of the girls who deliberately seek out a tall man are usually tall themselves. I don't think men seem to understand that a woman doesn't want to stick on a pair of party heels or even nice heeled boots and end up towering over the men. It's something that just seems to be ingrained in the female psyche, that her man needs to be taller than her. And yes, there are incidences of short woman/tall man couples, but I don't think that's too common. Another thought I've had on this issue - most little girls adore their Dads and obviously when you're only 3 ft tall, your Dad seems huge. As most women look for a sense of security & safety from a potential partner, the 'little girl' in her may unconsciously seek that out in a tall man who may remind her of her Dad.
I've been out with a couple of guys that are about my height and I normally wear flat shoes. but when i'm out, I like to throw on my party shoes or boots (as the weather is now changing) and hated looking down on the guys. And yes i worry what other people think.
I'm not particularly short....average enough height but I must say I have never minded about women with me being taller whether from long legs or from heels. It always matters to the women though and I just wondered why. I am glad for the basketball players that their "performance" is improved by their height! lol
I won't call you short from your profile. But profiles can lie.
I once meet a guy from this who said he's 5'5 on his profile. Was talking to him on the fone and he said he's 5'4 and when i met him, I was still looking over him and i'm not even 5'4 but close.
I nick named him "my funny little man" cause of some of the things he got upto in the bedroom dept. They were just weird!
But we just weren't compatable, and that's why I broke it off with him. (along with the strange/weird thing)
Guess I've always been brought up around that men are ment to be taller than women. But all them genes seem to getting mixed up.
And as for the basketball players, I've never been with one. Have to give that a go some time.
