All Woman, thank you for commenting. You bring up a good point that shows yet another reason the amazon model standard is ridiculous.

On a screen or in a photo, the woman isn’t standing right next to the guy. Most guys have issues about dating women substantially taller than themselves as they do about dating fat women. There are some exceptions, but very few.

In real life, a tall, slim woman, especially if she is low on fat but somewhat muscular and broad shouldered with large hands and feet, is invisible to all but serious fitness buffs. Actually being face to face with a woman who could palm his head is off putting to most men except fetishists and the few men who really don’t mind about looks.

You’re not a freak. The genes came from somewhere. If it was somehow maladaptive, there wouldn’t be tall, thick people. My mom’s side of the family is mostly that.

So I’ll share how they handle it. Be big and bold. Don’t slouch around like you don’t want to take up space. Use the feminine version of dominant body language. Be expressive and outgoing and helpful and especially nurturing.

If you’ve been picked on a lot, I understand this can be hard, but it’s not like a fat woman. A fat woman’s physical identity may change if she loses weight. Tall is forever. Get used to being a kind of Big Mama.

There are plenty of big guys and guys with big personalities who will see their future kids in your eyes.

Really, you should have read the rest of the article. None of us is perfect, and only a small percentage are beauty queens…and even they age. So where a woman should take note of what men like, if she likes men, she should definitely not bank her confidence on statistics.

*Statistically* *most* men prefer a certain set of body types, but most men are also not shallow as they’re sold as being. Men are visually stimulated. This isn’t the same as being overly selective. Men can generally love “ugly” women. They’ll focus on the things that are beautiful about the woman *to them* and not be bothered by what’s not the most beautiful.

Relax. A certain percentage of the millions of men out there may find you hideous, but you only have one vagina and therefore, only need one man who thinks you’re hot…and I am pretty sure that there is more than one.
