Does Size Matter?
(c) Rosalind Baker 2009
Does a woman care about size? Are physical features important to a woman?
What are her priorities?
On the celebrity singing show, It Takes Two: Grant Denyer [about 5ft 2
ins. Tall]) said of his co-host Erica Heynatz, [about 6 ft tall] "Standing
next to her, I have felt a little bit like her hand puppet".
He also said: "I've never not got a gig because I was too short. I think
it only affects you when you're trying to pick up hot chicks; most of them
seem to be bloody tall". (Peter Munro of The Sunday Age, April 27, 2008
News Extra 15).
Do women care whether a man is taller? We find at Entre Nous introduction
agency that women who are comfortable with themselves don't worry about
physical features. They are more concerned with the relationship.
The woman who says, "He must be at least 2 – 3 centimetres taller, because
I want to feel protected" believes that when she finds a man he will solve
all her problems. If a woman is insecure, she will still feel insecure
even if he is 6 feet 6 inches tall.
People who are seeking a single woman or man for a relationship to solve
their problems rarely get the satisfaction. Solving their problems before
they seek a partner would give them a much better opportunity of forming a
successful relationship.
Although men like solving problems few of them are very good at solving
other people's issues. When a woman breaks off with a man, there can be
dozens of reasons but when a man breaks off with a woman one usually hears
the same reason: "She had too many issues."
At Entre Nous introduction agency some women ask for a tall man. We find
that this category of women has usually been unsuccessful finding a
special partner and we know when we hear this that they are going to be a
challenge because they are usually set in their idea of how a partner
'should' be.
They are looking firstly for short term needs instead of focusing on needs
for a long term relationship.
According to Peter Munro in the aforementioned article, "Various
scientific studies have found short men are less likely to have a partner
and earn 10% less than their taller peers.
They are more susceptible to discrimination, jealousy, hearing loss and
obesity." This surprised me because I immediately thought of Rupert
Murdoch, Warren Buffett, Churchill, Napoleon and Tom Cruise who are all
short in stature and are/were more successful than most. In my own experience when I first started dating I was attracted to taller
men but soon discovered that on the whole that tall men didn't have as
much personality as shorter men. Short men made more effort – showed more
interest in you and were better listeners.
In an Entre Nous dating service workshop, a short fellow was complaining
that he had plenty of single women friends who said to him: "I'd go for
you if you were 6 inches taller." He thought the tall guys had it made. I
asked the tall, good looking fellow, (who was 6 feet 2 inches and lacked
personality) next to him if he have any trouble attracting women.
He indicated that he didn't even have any women friends, whereas the short
fellow sitting beside him had plenty of female friends.
My brother, Bernard (average looking) is 5 feet 5 inches and his best
mate, Laurie is 6 feet 2 inches tall with knock-out looks. Bernard found
that when they went out looking for women, the women would go for Laurie.
So he decided that he would go off on his own. He could attract a woman on
his own without the competition of Laurie.
If a woman wants a tall man because she finds him more attractive, she is
not looking for a good relationship but an image. How long will an image
endure? It may even go out of fashion.
At Entre Nous, We believe the relationship is the key to a lasting
partnership – the most important facet. When one is seeking a lifelong
partnership, one that will endure the test of time and all the troubles
and challenges that life presents; will a partner's height have any
bearing on its endurance? Height is so irrelevant and superficial that one
wonders how it could even be considered.
