Confidence


Tonight at the game I sat next to a 5'4" extremely loud man of Mexican descent, who had a wife that is 5'11" and likes to wear heels. When he told me this, my comment was, "Wow--she must be really confident!" He said, "No, I am." I'm not sure if insulted him, but I was so shocked the gatekeeper turned off (like it does a lot) and my thoughts popped out.

I'm still pretty sure I think it's her that must be confident. Thoughts?

I believe it was Ryan Baughman who taught me this true principle. He told me his ideal is to be taller than her barefoot, but not when she's wearing heels. Then you are the man because you are cool/hot enough to convince this girl she should be with you in spite of the height difference. 6 inches is a little much though. At some point you just cross over to ridiculous.

I think you both have to be confident though. It always helps if you're both beautiful too.

I had a 5'10" roommate who married a guy who couldn't have been taller than 5'4". He was pretty skinny and went with the motto "the tighter the better" when it came to the jeans he chose to tuck into his cowboy boots. Definitely a sign of someone who's very confident.

Ryan Baughman would approve of my husband. He is one inch taller than me barefoot. But I will admit that it took me a few years to work myself into heals. Especially when I was pregnant and weighed more than he did.

I should not admit such things on blogs.

I am 5'4" tall and proud of it! Out of all of the things I would change about myself, height is not one of them. Having said that, my wife is 5'2" tall (5'6" with some heals)and I like being taller than her. I dated 2 girls that were taller than me and did not have an issue with it but clearly prefer shorter! I dated a girl in high school (Jenny) she was the daughter of the string instrument instructor for our school district. Anyway, Jenny was almost 6 feet tall and she thougth my height was "cute." We broke up becuase she was a crazy not becuase she was 6" taller than me. The other taller girl was Janice, she was 5'8" and we were actually pretty serious up until I met Angela. Again, the height difference was not an issue but she did once tell me that my cloths looked like they belonged to a "Ken Doll". At the time my pants size was 28X28...looking back she may have been right.
