I have dated a short man in the past, I am currently dating one, and will probably date one in the future.

Growing up, I always imagined being with a tall man, like a lot of women do, and this might be linked to what we've seen on TV or read in books. And I still think that I am 'naturally' attracted to tall men. However, I can't remember ever actually dating one. My 'exes' have always been of average height or just a bit taller than I.

But I can't deny that I've had some sweet loving from short men. And as it concerns heels, I've had fun wearing some of the highest heels with the my most recent ex. He loved me to where my heels so he could admire my legs, he said. At first I felt uncomfortable doing it, but eventually it got to be one of the biggest 'turn-ons'. And, p.s. my current 'vertically challenged' man is doing one hell of a job, by my estimation!

More peace, more love.

No thank you!

Heck No! For years I was being hounded by short men, one of whom admitted that one of the reasons for the attraction was my height. Ironic isn't it?

We all know that credence should be given to a man's character and not just his size, but aren't those endearing qualities also to be found in a man of great stature?

I love dancing, especially those slow waltzes (rent-a-tile) and during this pleasurable activity, I need to feel connected with my partner. No connection can be had when he is halfway above my knees. He may find a nice, soft pillow to lay his head whilst my neck is strained to give him those nibbles and kisses.

You may ask what about "likkle but tallawah?" I am not the one who needs to be converted. I am already a firm believer. You see when I go to those eat-all-you-can feast, I gravitate to those sumptuous, familiar dishes. When thought is given to trying those "new entrees" I am already too full to care. So, this time around, I'll pass. NO THANK YOU!

Don't be too choosy

Yes, I would marry and date a short man, once he meets the criteria in what I am looking for in a husband and a date.

In these times, a woman can't afford to be too choosy and too picky. A good man or Mr. Right is really hard to find and have in this country.

A short man has similar characteristics with a tall man. The only difference is height. There is a saying that goes like this: "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." If you cannot marry or date a man because of his height, you really are a shallow person and don't appreciate God's creation.
