I visited my paternal uncle this past weekend. It was fun; we dinned,drink and 'chatted' a lot. During our conversation, my phone rang. After speaking with my caller I turned to my uncle who then looked me in the face and asked "is that your woman?" I said yes because truthfully she was the one. After asking me few questions about my relationship he then request to see her picture of which I did show him.

On seeing her picture my uncle said "she's not tall right?" I replied yes. He then said "she won't make a good wife". I was stunned and confused on hearing this. I asked him to please explain what he meant by that.

He told me these: "short ladies are too full of themselves; they are unyielding, stubborn, rigid and disrespectful. They are void of good character."

I left there later that day with his words running 100metres in my head.
Pls dear Romacelander I want to know or to be sure if there is any element of truth in what my uncle said.
Your candid opinions are highly anticipated

There is really nothing we won't read on this section.

Anyways,being a good wife is not dependent on physical appearance. The character speaks more.

I don't worry about height, just as long as she's soft and cuddly...

and serves a cold beer

Toh! You want to spoil our market ni?
you are the one dating her, you should know her better. I don't believe my height has got anything to do with my character

All the things mentioned concerning short ladies are what I have experienced. Just don't like them naturally and it's the first thing I check before making moves to woo a lady.

Like seriously?

Its exclusively your choice to make because you know her better but i don't believe in stereotyping but as a not too tall dude i tend to stay away from "short" girls

Well, she's the first of her kind that I have dated. To be honest, she's not disrespectful or mannerless but she's very stubborn, rigid and sometimes unyielding.

Me and you were in the same school of thought before my uncle somehow formated and partitioned my metal disk. (lol)

Your uncle's words made you notice that?

look, she is docile and very flexible, you would get fed up in no time

Just as some people will say fair women are mammy water

I looooove petit ladies. So easy to cuddle.

Funny.. I like tall ladies even though most short ladies eye me.

But I also heard that short ladies are very productive...

Very funny indeed! This one is baseless though.

I join you two together in relationship matrimony in the name of the one that is up, down and the two by the sides.
Go ye and multiply

Cutehector:

Tell em oooo.

Though I love all ladies, but petite ladies sha, chai!

You can just lift them with one hand, they can help you while you do push ups by laying on your back for additional weight.

Plus, they are adorable, so fluffy wuffy!

This is a mere african belief which is a fallacy... There is no relationship between the height of a person and his or her behaviour..it is just a traditionally perceptional belief.

The next would be on short men. It's our duty to depart from this traditional and parochial perception. My mother is short, but I never saw her displayed any of these characteristics towards my father. In fact, she never had an issue or a quarrel with him until he joined his ancestors.

No offence, your uncle must have once had his life frustrated by a short woman

This can't be true?
Why should someone conclude that a lady won't make a good wife, just because she's short & all that. Check out her character & not height.
So do you want to leave her because of what our uncle said?

Interesting!

It's nothing but the ramblings of an old chap. If he's been with nasty short women in the past, then guess what they all have in common besides diminutive stature...him. He must have crazy making qualities.

It hasn't gotten to that extent dear. I just wanted to know if there is any credence to my uncle's claim or to find out if many shares his sentiment.

Short men are already tagged with Napoleon syndrome aka little men with big attitudes & toys.

It had better not.............

debolly:

Lol........ Shockingly, some of the attributes my uncle mentioned or talk about she do exhibit them but before now I do see it as her thing and not something peculiar to diminutive people in general.

My fiancee is short..but is she is beautiful, she has gud character..she is just wonderful..she is d greatest thing dat has happen to me
