There's not much to say about this topic I haven't said many times on this board before, but I'll try to reiterate myself.
When a man hones his character above all, depending on the woman, she is apt to see that in him first versus just his looks. Thus, a man who is considered objectively handsome might not seem so once he opens his mouth or do something dumb, cruel, or inconsiderate...this includes "tall" men who some here might think are above reproach.
This fall will make 17 years I have been with my husband. Interestingly enough, y'all are interpreting this as me...settling?
I got married shortly after turning 23 and my husband was the only the second man I've ever been with intimately. I wasn't pregnant and he wasn't rich...our "wedding" was just over $100.
According to what I've read on this board, this would mean I had not yet even lived to the age to settle nor had I been "run through" and, thus, was just trying to marry a man who would take me in spite of my past.
There is also a notion here we (ladies) are fickle for being attracted to tall men. Being attracted to a tall man and recognizing a good man who is not tall are both possible, yes.
I guess we will can agree to disagree. I would think the obvious thing here is there are other things - perhaps many other things - which I found attractive about my husband other than his height...some interesting mindsets on here, indeed.
If it makes you feel better, I saw the type of young ladies my husband was with before we got together...I was just as surprised he was attracted to me.
