Being average - a good or a bad thing?

Emme · 2010-07-13 22:34:18

I consider myself to be average in appearance. I'm 5'5, size 10-12, blue eyes, pale skin, mousy blonde hair with highlights. I'm not going to set the world on fire, so to speak, and I rarely turn heads when I walk into a room. Most of the time I'm ok with being average because I'm like most other people and I "fit in".…

Well, I am a shortie (5'3''), but I am not surprised at what you're saying. For example, I have always found myself attracted to tall guys first and foremost, even though guys that are of average height would physically suit me better.

I think it's partly due to evolutionary mating psychology (again!:p), but partly also because tall people do command more respect by their very presence, than short people do. I went on a date with a short guy a while ago; he was funny, witty, good-looking and apparently confident yet I sensed that there was a lack of confidence there, his body language was just a tiny bit "off".

One of my exes is a tall guy, and although he is a kind of a generally uninvolved chancer/slacker type of person (or "laid-back":D), I have seen him being given more deference, by both men and women, in certain situations than would have been needed or, indeed, desired by him. Height is the key, IMO.
