Why relationships with short men are best
During our first date with my lover, we soon found out that we are exactly the same height. Jokingly, we both held a photo of our passports side by side, which showed 1.68 metres twice. Well, then, of course, I knew it was a hit. Don't ask me why, but I always fall in love with small men. In any case, I can't remember ever finding a tree of a guy attractive. In fact, my boyfriends (in chronological order) keep getting a bit smaller.
Many of my girlfriends have a requirement that their beloved must really be a lot taller anyway, and preferably still when wearing heels. I rarely wear heels myself, so I simply don't think about issues like this. And when I do wear heels, I just find it hilarious that I can look over my boyfriend.
But what is it that my preference is precisely for short men? This is where I gave this some thought. It wasn't very difficult to come up with a list of advantages. So if you have your eye on a short man but are hesitant because of the height difference, take a moment to read the points below, I would love to welcome you to the camp of short men.
Exchanging clothes
I'll start right off with a very useful point. Oversized hoodies we can all borrow, of course, but when you've hooked up with a short man you can share EVERYTHING. From jackets to blouses; you fit it all. With us, it has even gotten so out of hand that we buy clothes together that we can both wear. Actually, we should put this on a contract, because where does this loot go once it's over?
The outer spoon can be
I have always found spooning very oppressive. When I sleep, I prefer not to have arms or legs around me, it makes me totally panic. So ideal with a short man, that you can be the outer spoon and wrap your arms around the other person yourself. It is at least as cosy and ideal that you can roll right back to your own side without having to wrestle yourself free from that annoying grip first.
You don't have to be on your toes during a kiss
Sure, this looks very romantic in films, but believe me: constantly having to stand on your toes and twist your neck as if you were sitting in the front row in the cinema is really no fun. Having the same eye level is therefore great. It is also quite pleasant during discussions and conversations, in terms of the balance of power and dynamics. You are literally and figuratively at the same height.
Your marriage is more stable
From research by New York University shows that men smaller than 1.70 metres are 32 per cent less likely to divorce their wives. The researchers believe this is because smaller men do not bond until later. Researcher Abigail Weitzman: ‘The bonding process takes a bit longer for the average short man, so they are in a more stable relationship at the time of marriage.’ Well, this is obviously excellent news for me.
You have more sex
More good news. Research published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine says that Hungarian men shorter than 175 centimetres had more sex than taller men, with an average of 2.69 times a week. Told you: only advantages to short men.
Short men live longer
Last but not least, with a short man you'll live happily ever after, as research shows that short men have a longer life expectancy have. According to the researchers, this is because petite men possess a gene linked to a longer life.
