Relax, Mom. This isn't a post about penis size. It's about one of my dating dealbreakers: Weight.
This is a true insight into the female mind. I fully accept that I am showing my readers what crazy thoughts go through my head.
I'm not a tall girl. I can't even imagine what it's like for those girls over 5'7 trying to find a guy online (or in the world) that makes them feel petite. By all standards, I AM petite. I'm 5'3. It's not hard to find a guy that's taller than me. And although I do love me some five inch heels, I would never dismiss a guy for being short. There are many different attributes that made my not-so-tall Aussie seem six feet tall. But I will admit, I am more attracted to tall guys.
The crazy reason behind this is weight. While I am small, I wouldn't label myself as skinny -- especially not by LA standards. I like tall guys because they make me feel little. I think most girls have that desire to feel small in their man's arms. Recently I met a guy who is not-so-tall. I know, I know...I haven't gone through the hilarity of our first few dates on here, and that's mostly because I haven't told him about this blog yet. Oopsies. I've happily put my cutest flats on for our dates because he makes me laugh.
The trouble is, not only is he not-so-tall, he's also not-so-big. He's pretty skinny. Every time we're out, my mind starts drifting to what it would be like if our relationship progressed to nakedness...I might squish him. I would definitely feel like a giant on top of him. Guys, I would rather you have a bit of a beer belly than be manorexic. And I know some guys can't really help that...lucky bastards.
So here's my dealbreaker: If you weigh equal to or less than I do, it's just not going to happen. If you wear a size small or extra small, you're not for me. It might not seem fair, but you can't help what you are or are not attracted to.
What's really twisted is that I definitely love a skinny hipster in his skinny jeans. He just has to be over six feet!
I've also followed the "must weight more than me" rule. I'm 5'9" so admittedly, I have a tougher time because guys who say they are 5'10" on their profiles are LYING.
ReplyDeleteThat said, there are guys who are short who SEEM taller because of their confidence and masculinity, but these traits are hard to gauge from a profile. The only guy I've ever gotten physical with who was shorter is someone I met organically, not online.
I totally agree that guys can seem taller. It didn't seem to phase me when I met my ex, which was practically love at first sight!
