Not always, unfortunately.....we've learned to starve ourselves to appeal to a man who's been trained by media to think thats what they want. And less than 100 years ago, zaftig was the accepted norm...imagine Marilyn Monroe being considered fat, now!! lol
And I said, or I thought I did, that I DON'T have an issue with height. I'm not particularly tall, so I enjoy a man a little taller or shorter, but the 7 ft behemoths need to check it at the door, come to think of it! lol
Both genders can be generalized, and both can be materialistic and both can be visual. But personally, it's what MAKES the man, that makes me want the man...not necessarily the first blush of what he looks like. 
Hope that clarifies hehehe |
Me silly? NEVER. >.>
Although there are exceptions to the rule I think that what I ws trying to say is ifor the most part, men primarily lean toward being more visually driven than women. Again Not always but I think that's true.
I don't think that men have been trained to think that's what they want. I think that the media has affected what is the accepted ideal today, in relation to the physical attractiveness, but I think it's the opposite. I think that for the most part the reason that physical attractiveness of women is used so heavily in advertising and media is because men are visual. What types of women are sexy changes with era but I think it remains that for centuries men have been looking at women's figures and women have been dressing up for them. I think this fact precedes the media's influence in that way... but here I go getting all analytical on things :P
I did misunderstand or misread your post about having an issue with height.
