The one million dollar/rand question we all know - DOES SIZE COUNT?
I grew up having a picture (in my mind) of the man of my dreams, the man I will one day marry. He was masculine, dark with perfect teeth and most of all TALL.
I happened to be involved with a guy who was slightly shorter than me. I still hate to admit that this was an issue to me. I must say that I didn’t enjoy walking side by side with him because I felt he was embarrassed/intimidated. I even went to the extreme sacrifice of abandoning my precious stilettos to try and meet him half way. (The things we do for love)
We broke up due other issues (I believe) but one day he came to me asking if we could get back together and the only issue was the height. I said no because I don’t want to be in a relationship where I would miss walking with him in a mall or park.
I came across the below phrase while doing my own research on other topics but this really made me feel like it is VERY important for him to be TALL.
“It is, therefore, necessary that the man be taller than the woman. The psychological reason for this is that he must always give the impression of being his woman's superior, both mentally and especially physically. The physical reason, with which we are more concerned, is that if he is taller that his woman, he is better able to kiss her. He must be able to sweep her into his strong arms, and tower over her, and look down into her eyes, and cup her chin in his fingers and then, bend over her face and plant his eager, virile lips on her moist, slightly parted, inviting ones. All of this he must do with the vigour of an assertive male. And, all of these are impossible where the woman is the taller of the-two. For when the situation is reversed, the kiss becomes only a ludicrous banality. The physical mastery is gone, the male prerogative is gone, everything is gone but the fact that two lips are touching two other lips. Nothing can be more disappointing.”
I know there are other important factors, like character etc. If he’s not taller than you, is it all gone? Don’t you want to be swept into his strong arms and feel as if nothing on this earth will harm you? Don’t you want to stand on your toes (tsatsampela) while kissing him? And the most important one, are you willing to sacrifice your adorable stilettos because of his height? Guys do you really feel intimidated when she is taller than you? Does it really matter?
