		<description>Hi Denise!  

First of all, nice picture!!  You are a pretty woman yes indeedy!!

Gotta a question for you.  Is there a difference between a confident short man and a confident taller man?  I don&#039;t believe confidence is measured by women equally between  men of varying heights.  Men are expected to be confident but more often the tall guys are given a free pass if they are shy or intimidated.  Tall, shy guys have tremendous favour with women because his height trumps almost everything about him that is negative.  Short guys are considered weak, wimpy and fragile if we come across as shy.  NO woman wants that in a man.  Nevertheless, confident tall men are still the studs, heartthrobs, the gold standard of what is considered an ideal man to the mass society of women.  A confident short guy is more often cruelly attached with the short-man-syndrome, little-man-syndrome, or Napoleon complex which isn&#039;t fair at all.  If I was made to a be slave with no rights or freedoms, this wouldn&#039;t be an issue to me.  Why can&#039;t I have goals or set levels of achievement for myself without being chastised for it on the basis of my height?

FYI I think it&#039;s wicked sexy when a tall woman with confidence allows herself to approach any guy especially if he shorter than her.  It&#039;s a big time turn on to engage a tall woman in conversation who&#039;s confortable with my short self in her personal space.

How short is too short for you?</description>

		<description>Being a 5&#039;11&quot; TALL woman, I can honestly say the men that have approached me with the most confidence have always been men shorter than me. There&#039;s something extremely sexy about a confident man.</description>

		<description>Thank you Jo-Anne 5&#039;11 and Jossy 5&#039;11 for speaking kindly and rewardingly about short men.  Tall women like you two who say that you appreciate shorter guys are extremely rare, especially in western culture.  I tip my hat to both of you with respect and I wish there were more tall ladies like yourselves who place less importance in a man&#039;s height.  Peace.</description>

		<description>I am a male and I&#039;m 5&#039;3&quot; tall. I have always been very short my whole life. Even in high school I was 4&#039;11&quot; in my junior year. I never let my height bother me and I have always had plenty of friends. I have always had plenty of girls who I have dated and had good relationships with them. Being very short like I am all girls are taller than me even the short ones when they wear heels. I think that when you get past thinking about height everything else falls into place. I have dated girls from 5&#039;2 to 6&#039;0 tall and the shorter girls are the ones that seem to be more concerned about height. The girl that was 6&#039;0 was crazy about our relationship and she even wore heels when we went out. 
My wife now is 5&#039;9 and we have been together for 21 yrs and we are still nuts about each other. Our two girls are 5&#039;11 and 5&#039;10 and both are dating shorter guys.</description>

		<description>Hey ValentinaVala,

At least you are being honest.  That&#039;s always the best policy IMO, so thank you for being honest without being hurtful.  If tall men are what you desire in a mate, there&#039;s nothing wrong with that.  It&#039;s wrong when you start insulting short guys or acting distastefully towards short people just because they are short.  Everyone has physical preferences in a mate and there&#039;s nothing wrong with that.  When your physical desires become the primary focus of your life with no room for variety or flexibility, then it becomes a problem. This pretty much explains the number of single women who are strictly holding out for their perfect mate when in reality nobody is perfect.  What do you do when a short guy approaches you?  I guess it must be pretty easy for you to lie and say you&#039;re involved with someone or do you simply say that you&#039;re not attracted to the person in the nicest possible manner to not hurt his feelings?  Not to sound mean, but maybe you don&#039;t care about hurting some short guys feelings and tell him the truth with blunt force?  I honestly refuse to feel bad for wanting a woman who is character driven, educated and also has a sense of humour.  I like women that can make me laugh while at the same time keeps me interested in the conversation.  Physically speaking, I don&#039;t feel bad for wanting a taller, volouptuous woman with long legs because that&#039;s what turns me on in a woman.  Do I limit myself to my physical desires?  Absolutely not because I am capable of being turned on by women of all shapes and sizes, especially if they have a mind that keeps me interested.  What I don&#039;t do is shut out other ladies outside of my physical preference because it&#039;s not like I have much choice really.  Western culture says I&#039;m the least desirable of men so I tend to keep an open mind and an open heart for all women.  On the other hand, so many women place height as their #1 criteria in choosing a mate and from experience I will say this.  Average height women, between 5&#039;3 and 5&#039;7 are the pickiest about a man&#039;s height.  You have the most guys to choose from because a lot of the 6&#039;0+ tall guys prefer smaller girls and they have a real tough time dealing with their masculinity being stepped on by dating a taller woman.  Furthermore, average height women have a strong tendency to use  high heels as the measuring stick against short guys as well as the &quot;short guy can&#039;t protect me,&quot;  excuse.  Women 5&#039;10 and up also use the high heels excuse but they don&#039;t use the protector excuse as much as shorter women because their height is already intimidating to some men.</description>

		<description>Short men just do not attract me. That&#039;s all there is to it, really. I am 5&#039;5&#039;&#039; and I have never dated a man shorter than 6&#039;3&#039;&#039;. However, you need to know that it goes both ways. Tall men like me too. My last boyfriend was 6&#039;8&#039;&#039; and he said that he always preferred women around my height or even shorter. Same thing with me. I like when a man is much, much taller than me. If that is superficial, so be it. I don&#039;t mind men wanting big breasts, tiny waists, wide hips or what not. I accept it, but at the same time, I absolutely refuse to feel bad for wanting tall men. So, there you go.</description>
