selahgirl -> RE: Would You Date A Man Shorter Than You? (7/1/2008 3:07:09 PM)

I find this thread amusing, only because I have had several conversations addressing this very question. There seems to be a trend these days to do two things that pretty much went against the grain when I was in the dating scene.
1) Many women/teens are attracted to shorter guys.
2) Many women/teens are dating younger guys.
Go figure. I have some theories. One is that dance is huge these days. And usually, it is the shorter guys that can bust a move with the b-boy craze that 's going on. Hispanic dance is also really popular, and most hispanic men are shorter than the norm in North America. Many women/teens are attracted to that.
The younger thing really confuses me though, cuz women usually mature earlier than younger guys. Not always but in general. With all the stress and negative in our society lately, perhaps women/teens are finding it refreshing to date younger men who have not lost their hope/excitement over the future... still willing to dream and envision.
I heard press reports suggesting that older men cheat with younger women to escape the pressures of responsibility. Younger women don't require them to discuss the bills or the children or work... they just go to dinner and live in the moment. That mid-life crisis of trying to live in your youth as though age and responsibility can be made to disappear if you ignore/neglect them.
So the dating shorter guys thing doesn't concern me so much, but the younger thing makes me wonder if women are under so much stress these days (paralleling the mind-set of men) that they are looking for younger men to escape dealing with the reality of age and responsibility.
*blush*
if you know me at all, you know that I think out loud a little too freely... I tend to ramble.
this is totally off the top of my head and the first things that popped into my bizarre little brain,
and I don't even know if I even agree with anything I just said. haha.
