...are unnecessary, since he has expressed zero interest in me and can't even tell me apart from anyone else. This is all me.

I always felt that any of Tom Cruise's partners could have done better, but that didn't have anything to do with his height.

I agree with you completely regarding society’s influence on us as to who it’s “okay” to be in a relationship with. I’m 51 years old now & happily married, but I now recognize that there was more than one woman that I might have dated 30 years ago if I had felt that it was "socially acceptable" at the time.…

I used to work with a tall woman who had a particularly short partner. Essentially, she said he told her that there is a saying that it doesn’t matter how tall everyone is when they are laying down in bed. So. Have a happy relationship and ignore those rude-ass people.

Looks, I’m a really short guy, so everyone I’ve ever dated has been taller than me. All my boyfriends have been much taller than, to the point that people did stare (while I usually get away with it thanks to my twink status, the time I briefly went out with a guy who was 6'4'’, people definitely, openly, made…

Well she could, and she did. But not because Cruise was short.

It’s pretty ingrained I think. I wouldn’t know much, because I’m a shortie, but the last guy I was in a serious relationship when I still wore heels? Heels put me right at his height or a bit above?

My husband is 5'8", and I’m 5'10"; when we first started dating, here are some of the things that my bar regulars said to him (after grilling him about his intentions toward me):

I’m 5’10. My partner is 6’4 but I’ve dated my fair share of guys shorter than me. Do you wear flats bc he complains or bc you think it’s something you should do? Have you always been insecure about your height or is this something new?

Absolutely not, it’s cool. See: Sophie Turner :) Pretty sure she can get whoever she wants. I understand why you might be feeling self-conscious, but (a) I really think these norms are changing, and (b) finding someone who makes you happy is MUCH, MUCH HARDER than finding someone tall. So congratulations on that!

I think nothing when I see women with shorter men, and if I do think anything it is, “Yea for people not strictly following gender roles!” I would think that you and your family would acknowledge that it is hard for you to find a taller man since you are very tall yourself.

It’s nothing I ever noticed, but people have judgments about y’all’s heights?

Follow up from my last post.

As a fellow tall gal, I sympathize. My husband is small - barely my height (and shrinking as we age LOL). I did all the same stuff you are talking about when we were first together. Wore flats at our wedding, squashed myself down for photos, etc. I eventually realized that NOBODY CARES. Being attractive or…

This seems to be a thing with a lot of these Japanese “comedians” over there. Sometimes they’re just downright rude and have no filter. There was a recent talk show where a comedy duo went to a market to track down this person so they can figure out if that person was a man or a woman going so far as to grab their…

Female entertainer describes being assaults, harassed and coerced into sex for the promise of work by older producers.

For a show named “listen Carefully” they sure sucked at listening.

Have a look at their comment history. Account was registered yesterday, and so far all it’s done is whine about the various GMG properties.

My guess is that it’s an approved commenter’s burner, and they’re letting their immature, bawling side out through this anonymous account because they cannot stomach the potential…

Actually, it sounds like you aren't taking it seriously enough.

You are right about one of those two things, but it’s probably not the one you think. ;)
