I am not short.  I am 6' 7".

Though I am comfortable with my height (clothes fit, I dont bump into too
many door frames, and I dont think about my tallness very often), I wonder
how this extreme enters into the equation.

My first few relationships were with rather short women (under 5' 4") and
most women friends are at least a head shorter.  My grandmother (5' 2") once
advised me that things even out horizontally.  Snuggling does work rather
well.  But I am as (slightly) embarrassed by publically hugging a head as my
hugee is about sticking her nose in my chest or, alternatively, my armpit.

Tall woman (> 6') are rare, or seem to be.  Perhaps they hide.  (One of
my sisters says she is 5' 12".)  But due to their scarcity, compatibility
is less likely.  Ah sigh, such is life...
