Is it so strange to want to be with someone who you can kiss without a 
step, to snuggle with someone whos body proportions fit with yours, to 
neither crush nor be crushed during passionate sessions? These are mostly 
sexual things, but you don't know how difficult it is to have hight 
difference untill you walk through the world a foot taller than the 
average woman. It is not fatal, but it is an issue that will never go 
away, one that must be delt with when doing something as simple as 
walking and talking.

When a short woman wants a tall man, I am unimpressed, even annoyed. When 
a tall woman wants a tall man, I say looky here! So is my choice realy 
that much larger than yours? (forgive the pun)

Push all these buttons and I am sure to respond. If you dont have them 
all, then you had better find ways to push the remaining ones well enough 
to get my attention. Once you have it, you have also better have many 
of the other things I want. That is a fact of life. Accept it and work 
with it.

There are plenty out there with some sort of tall fetish. Personally, I 
think it best when people FAVOR someone their own size.
