jmoore: Some folks lack comprehension. Listen to the op.
Her last sentence in the first post is the main message.

SeniorMahn:
What do you do for him?

Sagamite:

I pity your husband.

He is a living compromise you made to satisfy your selfish need and fear of missing out.

In my opinion, you do not love him, you love the way he loves you.

God forbid that is my portion in life.

I would send a girl like you back to the people you really want.

All you young boys, note: there is no benefit in marrying any women

- Who was not attracted to you initially or at the first few interactions

- Who would die for a different kind of guy from you if they gave her the chance

- Who is only after you because others will not satisfy her needs

- Who would only consider you when the aesthetics is in decline

Fck that!

The phrase "I gave him/a guy a chance" is an insult in my world. Any girlfriend/wife I hear who dares use that on me is a goner.

It subconsciously unveils a hidden psychology.

contactmorak: oh sorry! I was referring to tall ladies not having a problem dating short guys. I've corrected my comment above. For me, I've always been attracted to tall slim ladies. Those I've met r very good in bed. They even give me attention faster than the short girls. Besides I don't have a problem at at all with my babe towering above me. That's just physical, I'm taller inside!

Onyiridike:

No!!! And none of my daughters will date/marry a man simply because he is tall. Ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is Dangote or Mike Adenuga the tallest man in Nigeria?

2. Is Obama the tallest man in the world?

3. Is Lionel Messi the tallest player in the world?

4. What exactly does a lady benefits from a man's height which an average or even a short man can not offer?

5. Do we cook human being and eat them like yam or meat so that a tall man will full the pot?

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".

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.

babeline: I'm a female and I'm 6 ft 2. I CAN NOT date a short guy. Imagine the height difference! Height matters abeg

butanep: that means you sleep around to know and even measure the size of a man's dick. Even as my dick long and fat reach, I don't know the size... babe I hail you ooo...

pomide: I dont know why i have that sneaky feeling short guys r d only one liking this

butanep: why will you have same height with me? I hardly see a girl of such height...
Brovo... my dear short guy is not ur portion.

babeline:


Amen! Yes I know I'm very tall. I get told that all the time. Girls hate and guys are always surprised. Draws them to me

Realtol:

Picture pls, or I won't believe you. lol!

butanep: yea pic please, the way I place my pic for you to see... I want to see yours to confirm...

kenex4ever:

Am not short but I like it

Theben:
bleeping well said

Taaheey: This post would have been triple A rated for being insightful if not for its undue and quite misplaced bias against men of 'extra-height'...

Male folks in recent times are generally interested in your 'womanliness'...please don't restrict it to tall dudes only.

Let any lady who has never been jilted by an 'average' or 'short' guy here be the first to cast the stone or 'Make all of una keep shut joor'.

And for them shut short guys liking and sharing her post....'make una sidon there joo'....

Taaheey is proudly tall and very caring, my sweetheart will confirm that....!

contactmorak: a lot of tall ladies I know don't have a problem with short guys. They say opposite attracts. My ex was way taller than I was

HARDDON:

U simply settled for less period! U couldn't get d best u really wanted, they came outa ya class, u tried a couple, saw it wasn't working out for u and age is no more on ur side and decided to bunk with d next available short belligerent "thingy" . it doesn't make It right. Bellow as much as u would....
Make as much case and point as u could, it wouldn't stop u feeling sad u couldn't get any.


Ain't the saying just structured for u?: when d desirables r not available, d available becomes.....fill in d blank spaces.

And if u must know what ladies benefit, here r just some or em:

1) sense of security.with height n broad shlders, ain't none messing with ma woman. I just need to show up, n dey go begging unlike when some dwarf pops up! But u wouldn't understand

2) romantic moments : tall guys can easily pick up n swing their women about, u wano pull such stunts with d brief guys?
Also, u wouldn't know how it feels like to run n collapse into a guy's embrace as he folds u up into him.

3) during wedding, women grow artificial heights that short men would need to either stand on a stool to be able to kiss d bride, or she picks him so he can......ouch!

4) to avoid giving birth to another Aki la pawpaw

The list is endless . please stop consoling urself with pseudo truth . manage what u got n learn to live with what u can't.

Btw , b4 u get it twisted , Obama is 6"

Mettal: my bro,thats the summarization of live,you better live with,a girl is attracted to you because of money,why not treat her thence,

shymexx:

Words on marble. Ol'girl had to settle because she couldn't get what she wanted, and I'm sure despite being "happily married" - when a tall guy that meets whatever criteria she has in her head comes along, she'll most likely open her legs, and let him fvck her right in her pu.ss.y lol. When a chic is settling because you're what she can have at that moment - you need to run. Then again, most of these chics who're either facially challenged or just average always have a tendency to dream big about guys they can't have. Hence there are tons of female groupies everywhere.

Also, she made other ridiculous statements about tall guys and it's evident that she's either clueless, dumb, or just basically confused because she couldn't marry a tall. If tall guys (guys above 6ft) who're in the minority - less than 10% of world's population - are the only bad guys out there. I honestly don't see why women complain about guys all the time because the overwhelming majority of women marry/date short guys.

Judging folks based on height/appearance is the reason why most of these women always end up with the worst type of guys. Hating on tall guys won't change the fact that you had to settle, just because you couldn't get the man of your dreams. Life isn't perfect - just move on.
