Tall Women Date Short Men

Tall women dating short men is always an intriguing topic. On the tall dating site,www.matchtall.com, a tall woman posted a question to other tall women: She’s attracted to a 5-6 man. She stands 6-4.Wow! Should this woman go for it? Apparently, this very tall woman is seeing things from a relative standpoint. I’m sure if she were 5-4, this short man would still look exactly the same.

Perhaps she’s worried what other people will think.

Some tall women complain more about getting back pain from hunching over for hugs and kissing a short man. Another issue tall women have with dating short men is that they don’t feel “protected” by them.

This is where I bring up the Bruce Lee/Kramer comparison. Goofball klutz Kramer from the TV show, “Seinfeld,” is 6-3. If you’re a very tall women, whom would you rather accompany you through a dark alley? A tall Kramer-type man? Or a Bruce Lee-type who’s only 5-7? Or actually, what about a Fonzie type? Remember Fonzie from the TV show “Happy Days”? He was only 5-6, but nobody dared look at him cross.

I believe, though I could be wrong, that the primary reason that very tall women don’t like dating short men is that they’ll worry about being stared at; looking funny holding hands with a short man; what other people will think. I hardly believe it’s because of back pain from hunching over. After all, men don’t exactly report back pain from bending over to kiss and hug their short girlfriends. Also, snuggling on a sofa would eliminate the height disparity between tall women and short men.

If this 6-4 tall woman

is attracted to the 5-6 man, she should go for it; though I, personally, am drawn only to men around 6-2. But I’m also convinced I’d feel the same way if I were much shorter than my 5-8. In fact, if I were 6-4, then 6-2 in a man would still be the ideal height for me, maybe 6-3.

Now, what about medium height women dating short men? What about a 5-7 woman dating a 5-3 man? Just the other day, I saw what appeared to be a 5-5 woman with a 5-3 man. How is this any different than a 6-1 woman with a 5-11 man? Yet many very tall women just cannot grasp the idea of dating any man who’s not taller. But if this same woman were only 5-5, would she feel the same about dating a 5-3 man?

As for feeling “protected,” I’d be curious to know who finds it easier to haul out the heavy garbage bags: That 5-6 man who naturally has much more testosterone than his very tall girlfriend, or…his very tall girlfriend of 6-4?

As a personal trainer,

I will tell you right now that there is NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEIGHT AND MUSCULAR STRENGTH. Visit any gym and this is clear. In fact, it’s often the opposite; the short guys are usually the ones lifting butt-loads of weight. And the very tall men? They are lanky and can barely bench press 135 pounds.

If you’re a very tall woman who’s attracted to a short man, give it a try and stop worrying what other people think. Because the minute you get caught up with what other people think of you, you rank yourself below them in priority. And I think your parents raised you to have more self-worth than that.

ovarian cancer risk on Tall women

         tall women are more likely to suffer cancer. Well, according to recent study, it was revealed that women who has a tall body tend to have higher risk of developing ovarian cancer.  Besides body height, obesity is linked to ovarian cancer. Obesity is also a risk factor among women who never didhormone replacement therapy (HRT).

It was previously known that 

Hormone replacement therapy refers to any form of hormone therapy wherein the patient, in the course of medical treatment, receives hormones, either to supplement a lack of naturally occurring hormones, or to substitute other hormones for naturally occurring hormones.

The results of a recent study which was published in the ‘PLoS Medicine’ journal analyzed data on the topic from around the world. Previous research has also revealed the existence of the relationship but the evidence was conflicting.

This study examined 47 epidemiological studies from 14 countries involving about 25 thousand women who had ovarian cancer and more than 80 thousand women who were not affected by ovarian cancer.

Lead researcher, Prof. Valerie liberal of the Epidemiology Unit at Oxford University, told the BBC, “By including evidence from around the world, it became clear that height is a risk factor.”

He added, the relationship between being overweight (obese) with ovarian cancer in women who have never done HRT is also obvious. “Ovarian cancer can be added to the list (cancer associated with obesity),” said Prof. Beral.

According to Sarah Williams, who is a health information officer at Cancer Research UK, this study produces a clearer picture of the factors that can affect a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer and its relation to body size.

“Women can reduce their risk by maintaining a healthy weight,” said Williams. “For women who are trying to lose weight, the best method is the consumption of healthy foods, eating smaller portions, and being more physically active.”

Responding to the findings of this study, Dr. Paul Pharoah, cancer epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge, said that the increased risk is small. “If we compare a woman 150 centimeter tall with a woman 180 centimeters, then there is a difference in the relative risk of cancer, which is 23 percent.”
