Well have to say the short woman verses very very tall man was tested today.

We got a bad leak last night water dripping down the kitchen and pantry wall.

Plumber turned up today very very tall and he was clearly trying the chat me up. I think he confused my kindness at offering him a cuppa tea as something else. (That’s another thing why can’t you just be kind without people taking it as an invite to pull!).

In case you think I’m kidding he even suggested I might want to invite him around for another cuppa tea.

Anyway it tested out the short woman verses very very tall man theory!

But yeah why do men do that, confuse kindness with a chance to get in there!

I think it is how you wear it. I'm 5'7" and my 3 significant relationships have all been with men who are 5'8". It was how they carried themselves. Height and masculinity have nothing to do with each other. My last relationship was with a man who served 20 years in the army and 13 years as a firefighter. He was always the shortest fellow in the group but it didn't stop him from serving with distinction, twice getting commendations for bravery. He was a man of faith and incredibly funny.
The first fellow worked at a bakery and didn't own a car. He was a good man and also with a strong faith.
Height isn't the issue, and to me it is a mistake to overlook someone based on height, weight or finances. The best people I've met would never have been found if I'd been "shopping" based on a list of physical "must haves".
For me, it is about how comfortable the person is in themselves. Beauty fades but character is for life.

Why?

I dont know sorry. They want to have children with anyone thats female? Theres a competition amongst men who can score the most? I do wonder about men who have children with as many different women as possible, some they only just met.

They probably base it on looks because, they want somone who looks a bit like them. I have actually seen men do this they eye you up, make a rough calculation of your looks and think, if my genes got in her genes we could make a child that looks like this.

If anyone knows anything at all about sex its all rather random. If people are too alike it doenst work the recessive genes kick in.

Well, I would say some (maybe most I really don't have any experience in that area). That is not what crosses my mind personally. Just thought I'd throw that in there. 🙂

Very well said. So much of this world people seem so consumed by all of that. Take people for who they are. If you don't take time to get to know others (guys or gals, same applies), you might find it is you missing out following the things of this world. There is very little better than having a conversation with another and getting to know there heart (unless your talking to a cereal killer, Capt. Crunch look out, he's coming for you 😮!). Finding out about people and really getting to know them. So much to be said for that. My two cents worth for free.🙂

I had a friend who was tall and women were very much attracted to him. He was also a competitive figure skater so I'm not sure if it was because of his height or his athletic build...

Apparently Judy Garland was hit on all the time by the men that played the munchkins. She was 16 and they were like in their 40s and she kept being asked out but she didnt want to say I cant go with you because you are too old.

I wouldnt recommend the wizard of oz movie to children now considering what happened to Judy Garland....

I agree with the article. I would not want to date a lady who is same height or taller than me. It’s intimidating! I’m 6’2” so usually I don’t have a prob with it :)

Im now sparing a thought for my tall female friends who, May have problems dating.

I think if you sit down and talk with a tall person (female) they arent so intimidating as they are sitting down and its usually just their legs that are the tall part of them. Plus you could sit on the bar stool and she could sit on the normal chairs if its that much difference. Or take a cushion.

Personally being 5 foot 2 inches I have had no problems with what you are speaking about. I have talked with my friends and others and when height is brought up they will say I thought you were taller than that... So I attribute my personality adding to my height as most are surprised when I say I'm 5 foot 2......

Just thinking of the plumber story, why is it that when tradies see a single woman in the home they ask them out. I dont think it relates to height at all. Because thats what happened to me the guy that came to do our bathroom saw me and asked me out, I did go out sith him twice but he was a bad smoker and drinker (although he claimed to give up smoking by the second date) and I thought if you currently drink everyday after work then a lifetime of that isnt going to be good...
Also note that people are on their best behaviour on dates but after those are ended you dont know if they turn violent after drinking.

The first time anyone hits you dont stay run. Not that ive been hit but others have.

I will not lie, I would prefer a man taller than me. Mostly because when a guy is taller than me and hugs me, I feel sheltered and safe. When I’m taller, I feel like I’m unintentionally seeming like a domineering mother hen.

I’m a taller gal, 5’7”, so I’m ok with someone being my height or taller. They can be shorter but I don’t wanna make them feel diminished either.

I will say though I think that people would discriminate job wise based on height is ridiculous. Any height person can sweep, type on a computer, and work a cash register.
