Height matters! It really does. No matter how cute a guy is if he is only up to my eyebrows..there is not a chance that my cousin will consider him for a "second date". We are all tall women in our family. So you can just imagine how much teasing and ribbing a family member has to endure if she brings home a date that is 5'6 and below....yup! We are that tall. Some would say it doesn't matter...But to us its a factor. I mean for my cousin it diminishes their masculinity in some weird way. Or sometimes we feel like a freak ourselves you know. I mean they would like look at us as if we have legs that go on for eternity or simply look at our necks longer than usual or at our arms..whereas I on the other hand, I definitely do not find that cute in anyway. So, one day I told my cousin who has this bad habit of making me go on dates..to whoever she sees or at least thinks will be compatible with me...I said I wouldn't hesitate to break his bones if I had to...yeah...I was in a sour mood....my food wasn't tops and it just irks me when a guy is like a girl out on a first date...I said.."Hey, listen...(in my most calm voice that I could muster amidst gritted teeth..I'm really tired...and not happy with my food...so if you don't stop looking at me..I will not hesitate to "fork" your eyes...Okay roughly I meant gouge his eyes!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! The guy turned pale and behaved himself...Again, my bad. I can't help it. My hand could easily grapple his throat..and this guy even accused me of playing "hard to get". Trust my dry, wry sense of humor to step in along with my ready rebuttal..."So what am I then a ball????" I am in no way that! After that, I swore off dating anyone my cousin recommended!!! Ugh!! It was sheer agony!!! His hands were smaller than mine..If I walked he had to walk faster to catch up, and if I stood really straight I would completely tower over him. So totally not right.....hahahahhaha.
One of my male friends was very good looking...but he kind of lacked the height. So I thought we were cool just by being friends...we were up until such time he thought we should "take it up a notch" and try being in a relationship. No offense meant, I knew most of my girl friends had a big crush on him..and I probably was like sore thumb sticking out for not liking him beyond the level of friendship which probably annoyed him endlessly..you always want what you couldn't have...just like that pint of ice cream I've always wanted to have....the guy was nice and really such a sweetheart....but I have my rules...and my rules are no guys below 5'8. Nope nope nope!!!!!! At the back of my head I was always terrified...ok I've had dreams..that I would end up with a short guy....I would even wake up screaming!!!! Nooooooooooooooo like a blood curdling scream of a banshee in the dead of the night. I have nothing against short men. I wouldn't mind having them as friends....but for me they're simply not boyfriend material..Not in my book at least.
So if a short guy starts to court me..I would immediately play the "friend card". That way I wouldn't have to use the line "Its not you, its me". Very cliche. I know. Its like having an anesthesia..You know without it, it will hurt..So a pinch will do.
