Why must the man always be greater than the woman?

Would you go out with larger women and smaller men? Why or why not? I have a colleague who is smaller and I can not stand him well. But he never hit on me and I would not. When I got to know him, he was sitting. Then we got up and oh dear. Why was this inhibition? Is this education?

Well this is the result of a concept that men should be higher or greater than women, not only in position, standards, recognition,etc but also in physical. It is the standard norm for men to be taller than women, stronger and any deviation from this gives the impression of being absurd and not normal!

Hi Edna, A very interesting comment, ok, I do not talk much about his body. But about everything in general. As you say, man it has become a concept to always better (at everything) than women. Well, now the time has been very far step from the past, women seemed to have become equal with men (the emancipation of women). Are you sure that if one day woman will be more powerful than men. We only wished. Nice day

Women instinctively desire to feel comfortable, and specifically safe. Although it is not entirely true, height seems like a sign of ability to protect. Typically a women does not feel a man that is smaller than herself, is able to protect her, and that makes you want a man that is taller, and stronger. In truth a smaller man is just as able to protect you as any other, but that doesn't change the feeling. My sister was approached by a man who was in the military. But he was shorter than she was, and she refused to ever date him for that reason alone. She said so too.

Hi andy, I think your statement is perfect, I think it's just a feeling or even a suggestion that has been rooted in a woman. Actually feeling like this has been tormenting me until I had a choice to like a man. In fact, small men do not always weaker than the big boys. Nice day

I would have no problem with there. A few years ago when I was in the retraining, a man came into our class, which I found very attractive. He was a little smaller than me and forgive, hence off limits anyway. In addition, a short time later raced my friend in my life like a hurricane. Worse, I find men with Fiestelstimme who have never advanced beyond the vocal break. THAT is horrible.

Honestly it would not be a problem in this case, but generally the ideal for us that we should walk with a man bigger than us. lol

Long before, what I look for in a boyfriend is their height. I did have a boyfriend who's very tall. I liked it because I feel so safe and protected when we're together. But now, my boyfriend is only 3 inches taller than me. I can't do anything about it. I just have to accept the fact because it's him that I fell in love with. Hehehe.. The height didn't matter anymore. But, to be with a taller guy, I feel more safe and protected. :)

Just like you, I love the man who is much higher than me, it would make me uncomfortable, especially if he has the ideal body (I do not like skinny men, lol). But really what I found today very different. I fell in love with a man who is very thin, even thinner than me. lol Nice day
