I understand that a tall woman dating a short man is a loaded issue all across the net and in society at large. I've even read on many tall websites about short men "stalking" tall women, and making simple sharing of information a security issue. I've also seen dozens of examples of where tall woman / short man couples are wonderfully in love, healthy, and successful.

Let's try to give perspective and clarity to this issue. I'm just one tall girl speaking from experience (well... and a little bit of research), and I would love to hear your take on this issue .

I believe that there are three personality traits of short men who seek out or incidentally have relationships with tall women:

1) The short man who envies the tall woman and only desires to destroy her for his own worth. This man gains relevance through conquest. He can only make himself "bigger" by "conquering" those things that he feels threaten his value as a "man." He is really a wolf in sheep's clothing. He demonstrates false character to achieve his goals, even in the face of purity and innocence.

2) The short man who revels in admiration for tall women. This man loves mountains for their majesty and does not feel insignificant, but rather feels proud and noble in their presence. He revels in their awe-inspiring, glorious, and monumental nature. He would date any size woman if she had character and strength. He loves life and has the values, character, and passion to succeed - even in the face of adversity.

3) The short man who makes no bones about it. Simply is who he is, and will take whatever comes his way. He's not picky, and not really moved one way or the other. He does have a meter for judging his mate, but it has more to do with his needs than the dynamic of the relationship. He can go either way at the turn of a dial (or the click of a remote).

Any mixture of these can be found in one man.

I believe that there are three personality traits of tall women who seek out or incidentally have relationships with short men:

1) The tall woman who despises her height and looks to find anyway to make the sadistic shame laughable. For her life is full of cynical contempt so she might as well join the circus. After all, she can tower over her short mate in a frolic of sardonic laughter, all the while crying the tears of a clown. On the softer side, she could just have difficulty dating taller men, because she has issue with being shorter than anyone around her. She really has a pure heart deep inside, yet the scars that bind it are, many times, just too much to overcome.

2) The tall woman who finds splendor in her stature, shining through in her character and personality. It seems that a lot of tall women have great personalities, and maybe they learn this from the trials of being tall and being a woman. As if they went through the great trials of Hercules, they become a heroic and benevolent personality. She is striking, heartwarming, independent and good. She doesn't take issue with her mate being short or tall, because character and sincerity comes first for her.

3) The tall woman who makes no decision one way or the other. She merely stands on the fence, and takes whatever comes her way. She's not quite sure who she is, and she accepts whatever society throws her way. She is defined by the outside world, more than she defines herself.

Any mixture of these can be found in one woman.

These archetypes can give you a good gauge to judge your own personal experience. I learned a lot myself just by the thinking, research, and re-writing process that goes into it. Maybe that's what we all need to do in our everyday lives... think, research, and re-write. A wonderful formula for the perpetual birth of a better "me".
