This might surprise you, but I didn’t find out until recently that most women do not feel the same way as me when it comes to loving shorter men. When most women find out about my preference for smooching shorties, it’s usually met with crinkled noses and “I could never” or “gross” or the occasional “oh, hell no!” I smile and say, “Great! That leaves more short guys for me.”
The reason I like shorter guys is because of how it makes me feel about myself. Being with a shorter guy makes me feel beautiful. It feels natural. It just makes me happy.
I’m 6ft , which is pretty tall for a woman. As such, I’ve always been the tallest girl in my class. Let’s just say that if the school needed a tree in the school play, I was the top candidate for the job. And, I’ve liked shorter guys as long as I can remember. As Lady Gaga would screech, “Baby, I was born this waaaaay.” I know I was. From the first time I noticed boys, I only noticed the shorter ones.
You might want to whip out your hankies here because short guys did not seem to like me in return. In case you were curious, young, short boys do not like starry-eyed statuesque girls. But in time that all changed.
I've heard women say that they like dating taller guys because it makes them feel smaller or petite or protected. I hate feeling smaller or petite and I don’t need to feel protected. I feel sexier having a guy stand on a curb to kiss me. It makes me feel like a goddess. I’m statuesque. I love my height, so why would I want to hide that? Is that so weird?
I’ve finally accepted this little preference of mine. Sure, I might get weird looks when I show up with a cute shorty on my arm, but I don’t care. In fact, I love it. Everyone should be as lucky to feel as comfortable with the person they’re with as I do.
