Paola Saliby, a Peruvian gymnast was selected to represent the United States at the Olympics in Los Angeles. However, instead of a gold medal she captured a silver medal and has since become known as a figure skater. There are many reasons that people have attributed to her unusual height. Perhaps the most common is that her parents were both really tall and as a result had to hide their physical differences. She was also told that her father had played basketball and that allowed him to make her taller by as much as four inches. Although her father played sports, he was not professional or an NBA player, so there may be more to it than meets the eye.
Height is often a problem when trying to date as it can put your partner off. One of the best ways to overcome this is to simply be yourself and let her be herself. She will start to see that you are confident about your height and that you take pride in your height. If you feel that you need to exaggerate your height to fit in with your partner, then try having the same posture and wearing similar clothes. You will be amazed at how short you will seem to them once you allow yourself to go through life with no preconceived notions about what you should and shouldn’t be.
It has been suggested that height can determine the sexual orientation of an individual. If a man is shorter than his partner, he is more likely to have oral sex, which is more of a man’s handiwork than a woman’s. This may sound like an old wives tale but it is something that has been studied and perhaps even confirmed. If a man who is shorter than his partner has an interest in having gay sex then she will know it is something that he wants to try and perhaps even pursue which will increase her desire and enjoyment of being with him.
