I’m 6’2". I once had a girlfriend who was 6’1". She expressed relief that, since I was the first boyfriend she had who was taller than her, we wouldn’t get any more funny looks. Happy to oblige, thought I.
The thing is, she had a sister who was 6’3". An absolute freak! I used to stand up real straight to see if she was taller than me, and she was. It kind of freaks me out when anyone is taller than me, since it’s so rare. Plus, I rely on my height to dominate other humans and twist them to my nefarious ways.
So once I commented to my girlfriend on her sister’s new husband, who was 5’6" or so. I guess I kind of made fun of them. teeny sting of guilt. My girlfriend replied that I had a “stilted attitude”, and I don’t think she was trying to make a pun.
Celebrity couples don’t count. Height has nothing to do with them. Remember, money is more attractive than height. Every short male celebrity married/dating a tall woman is richer than dirt.
Like Billy Joel would have a chance with Brinkley if he was a fisherman. Pssht.
Does anyone remember the Our Gang short “Dogs Is Dogs”? with Stymie, Wheezer, Dorothy DeBorba, Sherwood Bailey, Pete the Pup, and Billy Gilbert. Sherwood’s mother was played by Blanche Payson–an ex-policewoman who was six foot three! At the end Wheezer’s aunt comes for him, Dorothy, Pete, and Stymie–and as a coup de grace kicks Sherwood’s mother in her great big keister!!!

Alphagene, interesting point about celebs and the short man being rich. However, the expression is “poorer than dirt”, not richer than dirt. These short celeb men are richer than…their weight in gold.
Also, I think these women (Brinkley, Brooke Shields, Cher…) could have found rich, tall celebs to marry, but they chose short, rich men.
