Readers Write about Height

Lately I have gotten more feedback from my column on women discriminating against short men. The column was published in August, 2008!Here are some exerpts:

"I am currently dating the loveliest man who is 5'4" and I am 3 inches taller at 5'7" and I used to be a woman who wanted someone at least the same height or taller, but after I started dating him I soon changed my mind....I have recently spoken to a very single female friend (single for since forever ie 10 years) who to my face said she could never go out with a small man like my boyfriend as lovely as he was. She wants a big man of 6ft plus and she is 5'4 herself and shorter than me. I can not understand why I who is for a woman well above average in height has no problem with it yet a shorter woman can't."

Her advice for short men included the following:

"I would advise any short man to play strongly on their talents, their career, think cool motor bike rather than family sized wagon, think big, plus they can always go to the gym and transform into a small bundle of muscle and not give a stuff what those silly women think."
