valmunich: Tell em oo, it's not always about the height

stpat1: hmmmm. I still t trying to think deep to have a clue as to what triggered this post.
The truth is that your opinion and advice is actually stemmed from you being unsuccessful in attracting a nice tall guy. That is to say, if the tall guy(s) you dated were nice and caring as you craved for, your would have been singing a different tune by now. Its quite unfortunate.

There are lots of nice tall guys out there and there ate several nasty short dudes too.

Tymax:
Hehehe. I know why you wrote this.

AfricanApple: for someone like me who is tall, I will be very shy walking with my short husband, so I've always included it in my prayer I want a tall dude. I just hope my prayer was answered but until we get to d permanent site, I wouldn't know

Onyiridike:

My sister date/marry any man of your choice. However, if the ONLY thing that drives you crazy in a man is his height then I pray you don't make a huge mistake.

My blood sister married her husband simply b/c he is tall. Now she wouldn't mind paw paw or aki because the man is giving her hell.

I wouldn't want to look spectecular in public and face anguish and pain at home.

Do you want to please people and displease yourself? The choice is yours.

Onyiridike: I am a Nigerian lady with a lot of experience about life especially when it comes to relationship and marriage. Experience is NOT just passing through a situation but what you did with the situation.

Obviously, our young ladies always list ridiculous criteria that a man they will date/marry MUST possess. Among those ridiculous criteria, height is always a priority. Gone are the days when character is placed above physical appearance.

When I was an undergraduate, a certain young man approached me and told me how he loved me and wanted to date me. He is an enterprising young man, very intelligent and handsome. However, he is not very tall; just 5ft. 7 inches in height. Of course, young ladies don't take decisions independently. This is why they are easily influenced by friends and relatives. My friends then said: "Never! My man MUST be 6ft and above, so tell him capital NO". I rejected the young man.

Today, he is happily married with a lady who is by far more beautiful and talented than me. I almost shed tears on their wedding day. Meanwhile, all the so-called very tall men that I dated are ONLY interested in my vagina.
So far I have learnt the following:

1. Most tall men believe that their height is a 'master' key to every ladies heart and therefore, their ONLY achievement is ' I am a tall dude and ladies are dieing for me'.

2. Most tall guys are NOT caring because they have this notion that a lady should count herself lucky to date them.

3. I am yet to understand that unique or remarkable thing about tall men.

Fortunately, I repented because it occured to me that all those times, I was ONLY playing my friend's script. I wanted to feel among and brag that my boyfriend is equally tall. I gave a guy who is not very tall a chance and I started enjoying my paradise on earth. We are married now. All my life, I have not come across such a wonderful person. He has it all:

1. He is God-fearing and generous.

2. He is handsome and a great orator

3. He is educated and intelligent

4. He cooks for me when I am tired (caring)

5. He satisfies me sexually ( oh! What a heavenly feeling)

6. He got a good dress sense

7. He is social

8. Among others

I am not in any way trying to say that tall guys are bad. As a lady, I am only advising other Nigerian ladies to see a man beyond height. The height issue is over-hyped and even unnecessary. You may NOT get a second chance like me.

Finally, based on my experience, I have come up with a quote:

"A man is NOT known by his height but by his heart (bravery) and meritorous achievements".

AfricanApple: dear that's not d only thing I look out for in a man he has to have those other qualities. u know quite well that there are short guys out there who have dumb asses, so every individual with his own palava, weda tall or short. while I agree dat u have to go for a man who loves u, try not to settle for too less so dat u won't be like 'I'm just managing him'

Onyiridike:

Could you please explain what you mean by 'too less'?

You can manage a very tall man who is dirty and snores while he sleeps

You can manage a tall man who cannot put food on your table

You can manage a tall man who beats you up at every slightest provocation

You can manage a tall man who dresses like a vulcanizer to church

Among others.

Don't tell me that the wife of Lionel Messi OR Obafemi Martins is managing him.

My sister, is even my husband that is managing me because I don't think I will ever achieve what he has achieved. Therefore, I look up to him.

May be you are still 16years. You will grow to understand life better.

jennylove7575: To me height is very important...common, no woman want to give birth to an akpuruka child.. Haba..as a nurse, I can clinically tell u say short men manhood no dey long e dey short and chubby.

DrDauda:

jennylove7575: To me height is very important...common, no woman want to give birth to an akpuruka child.. Haba..as a nurse, I can clinically tell u say short men manhood no dey long e dey short and chubby.

AfricanApple: u just insulted me cos I said I do not want to marry a short man, I never forced u to marry a short man, that's wat I want and dats why I'm praying to god to grant me that

in case ur eyes was too cloudy to see it in my previous post, I said a tall man I like also has to have those other qualities, in fact d first tin I look out for in a man is his intelligence.
u want to know what I meant by "not too less'? like someone above said, not everything we want that we get , instead to die trying to get that thing, its better to settle for alternative choices, but don't settle for something that later in life u would be like 'I shoulda waited a bit more'


as a matter of fact, my guy is tall,
very very caring, not poor
dresses cutely
he neither snores or open eyes or mouth while sleeping
he gas ever washed my clothes
he has never shouts at me etc etc and dats why I'm praying nothing will drive us apart

however there are short men who has those irritating traits u listed up there. height has nothing to do with a person's character.
mbok, tall or average or nothing more. edumare jowo gbadura mi






and oh pls, if u can not argue amicably pls ignore this, ah no get strength dis nite

Onyiridike:

You are very wrong. You are NOT the only person with knowledge of human physiology and anatomy.

For your information, the sensitive part of the vagina is just 3 inches away from the opening.

I have dated tall men and I am now married to a man who is average in height (specifically 1.75m). I don't want to discuss their penis size on a public forum but I can tell you once again that you are wrong.

MrIknowAll: DIS POST SHOULD BE D BEST POST OF D DAY....

jennylove7575: whoa! Whoa! whoa! Hey! why body dey pepper u? No insult me because I didn't cause ur height problem.. U can blame ur dwarfness on God...

Polchiz: Actually, this is the best post on nairaland romance section.

Mods should move this to front page so that our sisters will know the obvious truth.

Anybody that says that by simply being tall makes a man better than short guys should try and convince me that a woman who is yellow in complexion is better than the ones who are dark in complexion.

Anyway, some deluded female folks will always wait to make their own mistakes before they learn.

3cycle:
Babe stay away from this lady, she is married to a short guy and you know short people are very aggressive, may be he has transferred the aggressive nature to her maka ome piawa ghi isi...

@op. Your husband is short so don't come advising us to marry short ppl because you did.
Not all tall guys are good likewise the short ones, if you are lucky enough to marry a tall guy you won't be lamenting here.

MrIknowAll: see dis accurate m0r0n... Y did u quote me? Are u drunk

Onyiridike:

I did post this because of your type.

I didn't advise you to marry a short man, please. Go ahead and marry any man of your choice.

If you are NOT obsessed with height, you would have read my post before you comment.

Thank you!
