| Superficial as it sounds, I don't think I would ever be comfortable dating someone who wasn't taller than me. I'd feel very awkward, like his big sister or something. I think the complex derives from my youth. When I was growing up, I was tall for my age and about the same height as all the guys in my class. There was one girl who was taller than me, and I'd tend to hang around with her because subconcsiously it made me feel better about myself. Wicked, I know, but that's not to say I didn't value her friendship. She was lovely. I'd feel really insecure and awkward around the little girls, though they eventually caught up and I stopped growing aged 13. Some of them would tell me that they'd love to be my height and that being small sucks. But from what I've encountered, men tend to prefer shorter girls than tall model-esque girls. With short girls, I imagine they feel less intimidated and are more aware of the "cuteness" factor as it's displayed in appearance. Then you'll have alot of guys who feel the urge to "protect" their girlfriends. I guess I just have to feel like the littler one (physically) in a relationship. I know that height doesn't constitute how well you can protect someone, but the relity is that I don't want to be protected by a significant other, I just want to ifeel protected. I'm 5'6 now and very content with my height (I don't want to be any taller or under 5'5) but I still feel that bit more comfortable when I'm with people (male and female alike) who are taller than me, rather than smaller.  |
