There was a note from “No, I Do Not Play Basketball” about short women dating tall guys and she was a tall woman.I kind of agree with you about the vertically challenged staying with the vertically challenged. I am 6’2″ tall. It is so hard to find a a tall woman to match up, someday I will find her. Get a hold of me if you wish.

I’m 5’8. That’s kind of tall for a girl, right?
Until I read the reply comments to the tall woman post, I didn’t know being a woman and being tall was such a negative/unattractive thing by so many peoples’ standards! I still think it’s a great combo. Long limbs are beautiful. (I also don’t think people have to be paired according to height. Compatibility is hard enough without that constraint.)
It’s only negative to the short chicks trying to defend why they are with tall guys. As a tall guy, I can say it really doesn’t matter. Tall girls are just as cool as shorter girls. The hard part is for a tall girl to find a tall guy since guys tend not to date much taller women. Tall women really lose out in the dating pool.
I think that if tall women have trouble finding tall men to date that they should date each other…. 😉
Forestgreen, your name should be a true lover of women (you used the word beautiful, not sexy). I agree with you–height should not be an issue (either way). Superficial reasons for getting together is most likely the biggest cause of unhappiness later down the road. And, I suspect, a person who is too insecure to stand beside someone who is taller or shorter than them wouldn’t make the best partner anyway.
So, tall/short people be thankful you have a natural screener that instantly eliminates mentally unhealthy people–unless of course you are one of those people…in that case, I’m sorry your biases will make it hard for you to find a truly I-got-your-back love.
