Then you are not looking for love!

To say someone is too short to love, is like saying someone is too fat or too skinny to love, because being short is not an option.

You are either tall, short or average height. Nothing is wrong with someone having a preference for a tall person, but being tall will not guarantee that this person will have the qualities to make a fine mate. Looking at things this way may blind us from seeing in someone the real requisite that makes for a good mate. The next time you think of someone having a physical flaw that prevents him/her from being your perfect mate, think about what physical aspects about you, would make YOU unworthy. There are claims that short men also 'make up for their height' with attitude, but in a society like ours that perceive them to be lacking, what do we expect?

We are all made up differently, some tall, some curvy, some skinny and the list goes on, but isn't this what makes life so interesting? Not all of us have the same liking, so can one really be too short to love? If you are looking for love, you are not looking for height, you are looking for honesty, respect, humility, kindness and so on, traits that no matter what height you are, you can possess. So for those that feel someone is too short to love, think about what your version of love is based upon. If we only look for the superficial in things in life, we will get the superficial.

S. Hudson,

St. Ann
