The Reason Behind The Modern Height Obsession | Height And Dating | Short Men | Short Guys | Short King | TheLowerView

I've said this a million times. Today's individual is severly overweight to the point where if you look at television 30 years ago, people who were called "fat" look skinny behind today's standard.

Since they want to look small next to their man, they'd have to pair up with someone significantly taller to offset their tonnage.

Good riddance.

I noticed this. A few years ago, I was dating a woman who was 5'2 to my 5'5. Whenever we took pictures, she would comment on how big she thought she was.

I definitely didn't think this, and she wasn't. What I realized though is how internally, she was comparing herself to me, as in she'd probably look "smaller" next to a taller guy.

Very discouraging. I thought anything about her body. She wasn't fit, but definitely not out of shape.

We broke it off for other reasons (communication), but I'll never forget that.
