Why You Should Go For The Short Guy

Not all short men have short man syndrome.

Why You Should Go For The Short Guy
Danielle Armstrong Photography

I always thought I'd end up with someone significantly taller than me because isn't that the "ideal" guy? Girls are always taught (maybe not explicitly, but it's true) that guys should be much taller than them. I think it has something to do with the whole idea that men need to protect women 24/7 and all that jazz. I'm 5'5", and I ended up marrying a guy who just barely hits 5'8". And you know what? I love it. So next time you think about turning down a date just because the guy is too short for you to wear heels, think about these things:

One word: kissing.

Sure kissing a tall guy can be fun. Standing on your tiptoes and being all cute. Aww. But let's be real; that gets old real fast. And it hurts your neck. So just think logically for a second and do the right thing! Save necks: date shorties.

Borrowing his clothes is much more practical.

I cannot tell you how many times I've borrowed Jake's sweatpants (I'm wearing some as I write this article, actually) or a t-shirt. And sure that's possible with tall guys, but it looks much less ridiculous going out in public.

They can't hide food from you on top of the fridge.

I mean they could, but that would require a stool. Which means that you would also have access to said stool. So really, you win here. No hiding those delicious Cocoa Puffs or popcorn from me, bro!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
