Short men
aur...@uiucuxc.uiuc.arpa
Hi, folks,
What I seem to be hearing from these net-notes is that
the GREAT MAJORITY of women place quite a lot of
importance on height in men.
I've heard this from friends before, but remain a bit
skeptical; i'm 5'5", and though i've had my share
of rejections, always felt that it was a bit of a
"cop-out" to blame them on any height difference.
I've certainly never been TOLD so directly, and for that
matter, my last girlfriend was a couple inches taller.
But maybe i'm too idealistic.
So what about it, ladies? Is the situation really bleak?
If it is, is there anything to be done for it?
To encourage a larger response, here is a short "survey".
Please fill it in and mail to me, and I will summarize to the net.
Do it today! Thanks much!
Scot

Well, I happen to be tall (5'11) and female, and I've dated guys taller,
shorter and the same height. I really enjoy being with a tall (over 6'2) guy,
because it's fun to feel small for a change. I would never date anyone a *lot*
shorter than me just because I'd feel large, and I don't LIKE to feel large.
But I'm most attracted to guys close to my height or just a bit taller,
because, if we're talking marriage, I don't want my kids to be
giants, which they would be if they got unusual height genes from both sides!
