Some Thoughts, ideas and observations ...

I try not to watch too much television but recently I have seen two examples of taller women and shorter men that give me hope that hearts and minds are being changed. In an episode of the New Love Boat one of the staff members of the boat is hypnotized to think that he is tall dark and handsome (he is actually short and balding). He then has the confidence to approach a tall beautiful blonde. She finds his self-confidence very attractive and falls head over heels for him. When his hypnosis wears off he sees that he is short and balding and not what he considers attractive. He then dumps her thinking that she would not like him if she saw what he now sees. But she doesn't care and makes the point to him that it was who he was and the way he treated her that she loved, nothing else. It was great to watch them walk around arm in arm.

In another TV observation, my wife and I were watching 'Sister Sister'. On the show they sisters have a friend named Roger who is very short. There was a big dance that they were attending and Roger asked the tallest girl at the school. When they danced and had their picture taken there was razzing from schoolmates. So much so that Roger abandoned the girl at the dance. After speaking to one of the adults on the show he went back to the dance and they slowdanced. The nice thing to see in the show was the tall girl not all hung up over Roger's height. Roger was only upset about the razzing. If taller women and shorter men couples were left alone things would be a heck of a lot easier sometimes.

I recently went on a cruise with my wife down to the Carribean. It was absolutely wonderful. I am a natural people observer and I didn't pass up the chance to people watch on the cruise. My wife and I notices at least a dozen couples on the boat where the woman was taller than the man. It was quite encouraging to see. I then watched the couples closer and it just re-affirmed my thoughts of women who date/marry shorter men. They are very secure with themselves for one. There is something different about the men as well. They are always extremely proud of their wives. Not so much as the wife being a trophy but in the sense that they are absolutely the luckiest men around. You see, I believe that when a woman dates a shorter man she is going against a societal norm therefore she must REALLY like/love this man to put up with the daily stares and gawks.

In my biased opinion, women who date shorter men are naturally very special people and it comes across in how they carry themselves and how they live their lives.
