Society has changed in what is permissible to discuss. The fact is simply this, it has been documented several times and ways that people (M or F) feel better, happier, etc when looking up, and feel sad and depressed when looking down. Try it sometime, if you are tense, upset or just down, try looking up for a few minutes, you will feel alittle better. This idea plays out for women looking up to a taller man.
