She Had Her Fun
Writer revisits her heightism and begrudgingly considers settling
post #1
A 5'6 writer reflects on her staunch preference for extremely tall men and begrudgingly considers settling for an average height man.
Here are some takeaways:
She recognizes her aim to adhere to extreme height differences because admiration and social approval is as, or more important to her than palpable attraction and character. She uses "them" and "they" a lot to shift the blame to "most" women and takes the spotlight off of herself (though she does use examples of other women's dating habits who she interviewed to demonstrate this point).
She admits to only or mostly dating extremely tall men ("NBA height" as she put it), so shorter men were completely invisible to her
She gave her youthful adult years to taller men exclusively, and now that she's "gotten most of it out of her system", you might get a chance and, you better be grateful for it.
She still doesn't really find shorter men attractive, but since she recognizes that she's getting older, she may begrudgingly settle for someone shorter than she wants to get long-term commitment, but not "short" (still can't get passed that huh?). She may do "average" (and cringing/keeping a straight face while doing so).
