Is height important in matters of the heart? Is the size of the hands and feet that much important to women? Well..For most women (myself included) it seems the answer is a definite yes.
The stature of a potential partner matters more to the fairer sex than it does to their male counterparts
and much to the dismay of those holding feminist ideals, it seems that women want a man who towers over them because it conforms to gender stereotypes and makes them feel protected, secure, feminine and delicate.They also want men with big hands and feet because of what they have been bombarded with over the years…you know the story about men with big feet, seems like every woman wants to find out whether the the myth is true or not
Using data collected from online dating advertisements and experimental research, the study, conducted by Rice University and the University of North Texas found that women are far more concern with dating a man who is taller than they are than men are with dating a shorter woman.
An investigation of 925 Yahoo! personal dating advertisements found that 13.5 per cent of the men wanted to date only women shorter than they are. In contrast, nearly half of the women – 48.9 per cent – wanted to date only men taller than they are.
I really can’t blame them, there’s just something about a tall man with hands big enough to open a jar of mayonnaise with just one twist, and my believe is that once you date a tall man, is VERY hard for you to go back to a short man
One thing we need to bear in mind tho, South African men are short, and it seems like is going to get worse by the way these kids in high schools are set up, I mean if you see a group of teenagers these days, you’ll find that all of them are short, like WTF!
So in closing, is either you find a tall man with some big feet and all and hold on to him or you simply scratch off the ‘I want a tall man” line your list and let love lead the way

Over the years experience I have tried and tested men with big feet and hands and yes it is true they are well mmh blessed in the size department besides that a bigger muscular men has so much strength and power that u always feel vulnerable yet protected at the same time.a women naturally is attracted to someone who strong and can handle a women of any size
