Why You Should Go For The Short Guy

Not all short men have short man syndrome.

Why You Should Go For The Short Guy
Danielle Armstrong Photography

I always thought I'd end up with someone significantly taller than me because isn't that the "ideal" guy? Girls are always taught (maybe not explicitly, but it's true) that guys should be much taller than them. I think it has something to do with the whole idea that men need to protect women 24/7 and all that jazz. I'm 5'5", and I ended up marrying a guy who just barely hits 5'8". And you know what? I love it. So next time you think about turning down a date just because the guy is too short for you to wear heels, think about these things:

One word: kissing.

Sure kissing a tall guy can be fun. Standing on your tiptoes and being all cute. Aww. But let's be real; that gets old real fast. And it hurts your neck. So just think logically for a second and do the right thing! Save necks: date shorties.

Borrowing his clothes is much more practical.

I cannot tell you how many times I've borrowed Jake's sweatpants (I'm wearing some as I write this article, actually) or a t-shirt. And sure that's possible with tall guys, but it looks much less ridiculous going out in public.

They can't hide food from you on top of the fridge.

I mean they could, but that would require a stool. Which means that you would also have access to said stool. So really, you win here. No hiding those delicious Cocoa Puffs or popcorn from me, bro!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
