I visited my paternal uncle this past weekend. It was fun; we dinned,drink and 'chatted' a lot. During our conversation, my phone rang. After speaking with my caller I turned to my uncle who then looked me in the face and asked "is that your woman?" I said yes because truthfully she was the one. After asking me few questions about my relationship he then request to see her picture of which I did show him.

On seeing her picture my uncle said "she's not tall right?" I replied yes. He then said "she won't make a good wife". I was stunned and confused on hearing this. I asked him to please explain what he meant by that.

He told me these: "short ladies are too full of themselves; they are unyielding, stubborn, rigid and disrespectful. They are void of good character."

I left there later that day with his words running 100metres in my head.
Pls dear Romacelander I want to know or to be sure if there is any element of truth in what my uncle said.
Your candid opinions are highly anticipated

I can't answer your question but I can say this, I married one and we have been apart for close to two years now after she ran away. They are mostly hot tempered and stubborn. I am not generalizing here, just stating my observation from a few encounters I have had with brief ladies.

Yeah portable ladies rock in every way

Very easy to move left, right and centre

WisdomTank:

In nutshell, are you saying it's a general thing?

I'm saying a lady need be a lil stubborn, rigid and unyielding to keep you occupied and amused and interested... she need to challenging

tosyne2much:

But, you are right, we rock

You are right about that. I don't like my lady being too submissive and dull. It makes being with her boring.

Please more opinions on this will be very much appreciated. Keep it coming please

Exactly!

Good morning everyone. I want to say a very big thank you to everyone of you who have aired their respective views on this very issue.

Just last night I brought up this same topic up in my compound and it turned into something else. I was with my friends and neighbors (4 guys and 2 ladies). Initially it was just the six of us trying to operationalized it. While doing that some of my neighbors now joined us and they began to air their views.
Amazingly and shockingly, majority of them shares the same sentiment as my uncle. Even some women in my compound are of the same opinion.
I really wish to know if this one of the many wrong and baseless assumptions in African society or if there is any peculiarity or iota of truth in this.

Please keep ur comment coming.

Cutehector:
I looooove petit ladies. So easy to cuddle.

YoshiMaster:


Tell em oooo.

Though I love all ladies, but petite ladies sha, chai!

You can just lift them with one hand, they can help you while you do push ups by laying on your back for additional weight.

Plus, they are adorable, so fluffy wuffy!

my guy do say this!

PunkyBrewster:
It's nothing but the ramblings of an old chap. If he's been with nasty short women in the past, then guess what they all have in common besides diminutive stature...him. He must have crazy making qualities.

Are you short? If yes then your post endorsed his uncle's message...

Can someone please define 'short' for me?

at what height is a person termed short?

Beamborla:

I'm portable

that's what I like!

No mind Nigerians and their unfathomable assumption without any form of empiricism. I don't think one's stature has anything to do with their temperament or attitudinal disposition.
Moreover, being short, brief, or dimunitive is a disadvantage with many advantages.
Again, it is relative. A short man or woman in Nigeria would be the tallest in Korea or Japan.

I've dated two very short ladies and I can say for a fact all those behaviours mentioned about them are very true,but whether they'd have made good wives is what I can't say cos I didn't take it to the next level,I was too irritated and scared to even consider that tot
