🇬🇧 Advantages of being short

Someone asked me, so, I answer it. I’m 175cm tall, and I consider myself a tall woman but I think to be short has some advantages, as well as to be tall. As usually those who ask this kind of question imagine life would be much better if they had a different condition (in this case, being tall), and feel they live in disadvantage I believe my point of view is relevant.

• For short women: almost any man you know is taller than you. I remember once I wrote about tall women wearing high heels. I love high heels although I don’t wear them often in Curitiba. But most tall women I know avoid them all the time, anywhere. Many tall women commented this blog post about high heels telling it was hard to find a boyfriend taller than themselves and this helped them to avoid heels. I had only one relationship with a man much taller than myself, but it was amazing. For tall women this is rare. For short women this is easily possible!
• For short men: although usually women prefer taller men, there are lots of short women and some can be as tall as you are or a bit smaller. And, thinking about the comments women did in that post about tall women wearing heels and my own personal experience, there are women who accept smaller men as boyfriends.
• Still thinking about relationships, for sex, your height makes no difference.
• Professionally, the only career I know short people are refused is as catwalk model. But commercial models can have any height, weight or age. Various catwalk models are famous, but, at least in brazilian advertising, many commercial models are famous too.
• Socially, I see no problems related to height. I have various friends who are short.
• And... to travel, short people have a big advantage. They can travel comfortably long distances on the back seat of a car or using the economic class of buses or airplanes. For tall people these options for long distances are horribly uncomfortable.

So, to be short have various advantages, only different from some that tall people have. Relax and enjoy your height.
