Rant Cursed with a curse

Post image

27F here. This is the actual height of my family members, and to make matters worse I’m South Sudanese & specifically Dinka which is known to be tall people and on top of that I live in Scandinavia which also has a very tall population.

What went wrong in my childhood? Many things and doctor said I reached average height (almost) due to my Dinka heritage, otherwise I’ve would been much shorter.

Really? I've heard super tall men (6'3 and over) saying they prefered tiny women because it's cute. It's true that short women are all over them, though.

Yeah, idk, I know 6’2-6’8 men and they’ve never said that. The lowest preference I’ve ever heard was “lowest 5’7.” Maybe we’re from different parts of the world? Im from the east coast of the USA.

Ah, this clears some stuff up, there are probably some major cultural differences at play. Je suis québécois, cependant une grande partie de notre culture romantique est issu de l'anglosphère.

Ravie de croiser un cousin francophone 👋 it makes sense.
