I do not see too many short guys with really tall girls, but my 5'1" uncle is an outstanding exception - his wife is a stunningly beautiful 5'11" blonde who is also very sweet and incredibly smart. The tallest girl I ever dated was 5'8", but most of the girls I have dated in my life have been close to my height. My first wife was 5'7" and my current wife is about a half inch taller than me.
Pic or it never happened lol
Salma Hayek gets my vote even though she's a little old now.

Wake up everyone. This isn't a bunch of college kids playing pranks to impress their little sorority girlfriends, this is the American corporate engine at work. A bunch of adult men and women in their marketing came up with and actually greenlighted this campaign. This is a prime example of how heightism is a systemic prejudice rooted deep in society. The fact that adult professionals could come p with a such an ad is a disgrace.
The more disappointing part is that the vast majority of you reading this and watching this ad will do absolutely nothing about it and they know this. We're the easiest group to pick on because they know there will be little to no backlash.
What's even worse is the Garmin who elected to take on that role. The ultimate sell-out.
I can't speak for you but I am going to do something about it. I will contact my marketing friend in New York who has a lot of pull, write a letter and make a few phone calls to DirecTV and convince others to terminate their subscriptions. I encourage you all to take action and let DirecTV know that this is completely unacceptable.
Nope. I'm cancelling my subscription with them. AT&T owns directv, so I'll be in contact with them also.
Body shaming (height shaming) at its finest. They would never get with doing this to fat people, minorities or any other group. It's always short men who get *bleep* on in ads. Remember the free credit report ad from a few years ago with the bald fat short guy? This ad is appalling.
I actually have DirecTV, but am cancelling my subscription today and will write them a very strong letter to boot.
