The modern-day question, does his height matter?
Some single moms if not most women are under the assumption that the stature of a man equates to his morals and visceral characteristics. This subject has caused some women to be angry and out right over look a man because they are so passionate about their preferences.
Notice I did not say STANDARDS. Ones preferences are not to be confused with standards.
Is a tall man on the list of a single mom standards?
To clarify, a preference is something that a person prefers, characteristics that are aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, a standard is something that resides in a person’s morals, beliefs and/or non-negotiables if you will.
This is a topic that seemingly has become quite controversial. The quick rebuttal is that women don’t want to settle.
If he is not over 6 feet tall does that mean you have settled?
I understand that women have the desire to be attracted to their potential partner however, there has to be a mindset to look past what may cause your heart to flutter and create sparks like it’s the fourth of July.
Are the following questions part of a single mom’s standards?
- Does he have integrity?
- Does he know God and have a relationship with Him?
- Does he have children and if so how many?
- Does he play an active and responsible role in his children’s life?
- Does he still live with his mother?
- Can he purchase new furniture without the need of a cosigner?
Those are some possible standard questions that are in no way related to if he can get on the tallest rollercoaster ride at Six Flags.
The true benefit to dating tall men
Those benefits are still up for debate. The misconception that his height will deem him the best choice for future husband needs a bit more scrutiny.
Yes, we may want to feel secure when we are wrapped in his arms but, who convinced us women that anything under 6 feet tall is a downgrade and should be avoided at all cost?
The need to feel secure for a woman is arguably one of the most important feelings to us in a relationship. I am not saying that we should toss that preference aside, I am suggesting that we look deeper into the true character of a man.
Allow his morals and values to speak louder than some markings on a height chart.
