Too Short's "Blow the whistle"

*although the song lyrics don't go with this posting, I am, in essence, blowing the whistle on men who are too short, thank you.*

After being perpetually single many have asked if I have a type and for the most part I always said "not really" and I shrugged and added, "smart, funny..." the usual things one looks for in a mate. I thought this because many of the boys who had caught my eye didn't really have anything in common with each other....EXCEPT they were all short. And they all sucked, obviously since they are not with me (they are clearly distraught over this and I feel bad for them, gratuitous ego boost!) but yes, they were under 5'6". Which to me is tall since I come in at one and a half full American inches over five feet, intimidating for a third grader. The more I reflected on why I kept insisting that I liked guys who were short the more annoyed I became at myself, men who are short clearly have a complex- they are always trying to compensate for their lack of height in other ways-by being crude and overtly sexual, by participating and flaunting their participation in marathons/obstacle courses to show how manly and fit they are and mostly by being plain old jerks. As a woman I understand having to compensate for many things however I was always rooting for these little guys, I was the girl who openly wanted to date you vertically challenged bastards, but for what reason, the chances of you getting your ass beat by a 6 foot muscle man are odds I'd bet against you, you men do not make me feel any better about myself and in looking back I've always felt like I wasn't enough for them... And now here comes my epiphany-I refuse to date down anymore! No more shorties, take your Napoleon complexes to the local junior high playground, I wants me a tall glass of water(who of course is still intelligent, ambitious, funny and enjoys a scotch as much as I do). Sorry midges for the longest time I was all for your type but now I'm over it.
