If you're over 5'8, you know it's incredibly hard to find a guy (just any old guy will do) that is over 5'10. I'm on the cusp of six feet so finding a man who doesn't look up at me when I throw on a heel is close to impossible.
In the world of dating, finding a guy who makes me feel like a woman (meaning I can't cradle you in my arms like a baby - because that would be really awkward) can be a big challenge.
Take for example the odds. Most men probably fall around the 5'8 - 5'10 range. If they're under 5'8 they're likely dating a woman who is a lot shorter, perhaps an inch or two taller so they can still feel a bit bigger. The 5'9 and 5'10 guy is sort of a gray area.
At my most recent physical with my doctor, the nurse informed me that I was in fact 5'9 and not 5'10. Perhaps mother nature or some bigger power was shrinking me merely to open up my dating options. Thank you mother nature! Aside from instantly increasing my BMI by losing an inch, I was elated to learn that I could now put 5'9 or taller on my list of requirements for my next boyfriend.
I dated a guy who liked taller women. He was about the same height as me and when I put on heels for a Saturday night on the town, I had a good 1-2 inches over him. On skinny days I felt sexy. On bloated days I felt, well just big.
I suppose we look to men who are sized appropriately for us. A toothpick guy who stood 7 feet tall would be kind of circus sideshow-like, but more importantly would not be a good fit for me.
On the flipside, perhaps the man of my dreams stands 5'8, is stocky with glasses and is waiting to run into me at the local DSW. Look for me near the size 10s.
I have to believe that size doesn't really matter.
A good guy is in fact a good guy.
