Recently an anonymous poster has written in complaining about other peoples nasty attitudes because she is taller then her boyfriend. She is 5 foot 11 and her boyfriend is 5 foot 9.
Her is an extract from this lady's post.
Ive dated 'taller guys' ive been with my boyfriend since i was 18 im now 20 and before i met him i was worried about dating a shorter guy incase people took the piss so ive dated taller guys who were dicks and ********s who treated me like ****. So when my boyfriend came along he was funny, gorgous smart friendly and has a heart of gold I really had to question why would I reject somebody who could be my perfect man because he's lacking a few inches in the height deparment.
I understand that somepeople physically cant find a shorter person attractive and thats fair enough however I dont get why people feel the need to be nasty about my relationship. The only things my friends said when they met my boyfriend was 'god he is short' bearing in mind he comes to above my ears its not like hes not even above my shoulder. My mum told me that the realtionship wont last and sdhe wont take it seriously i cant possibly stay with him and marry him because he is shorter than me.
I have to congratulate her for overcoming societies heightism which she'd internalised. I also pity her the unfortunate responses she is receiving from her friends and her mother. What sort of mother wants her daughter to reject a man who loves her and treats her with respect? I find that attitude contemptible.
The responses she gets on the forum are as you would probably expect and can be summed up thusly.
- Who cares what others think.
- EWWWWWW! It's just wrong.
- Short man complex blah blah blah.
- BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CAVE MEN! Bringing home food, genetic fitness!
- How do you kiss? Do you get out a ladder?
- You'll never be able to wear heels again. EVER.
