Height Or Nationality

Height was often in the past considered to be a social construct based on age. If one was older, they would not have been deemed sexy or interesting and therefore were not taken seriously, whereas if younger they were considered freer and therefore were able to advance socially. Over the past twenty years however this concept of height/centre of gravity has begun to change. This is where Dana Petty comes into play. She is an athlete at the University of Alabama and as such maintains a very high vertical leap which is something many people who are considered to be over six feet in height would like.

Many people assume that someone who is very tall must be very old, but this is far from true. Indeed, there are many people who are very tall in their twenties or thirties who still look and feel young at heart. It is this combination of youthfulness with a large degree of height that has made Dana a celebrity in her own right. Not only does she have a great athletic ability, but she also stands at a very healthy seven feet in height. If one were to contrast this with her partner, she would easily be seen as shorter than him by the general public, as they are almost of the same age.

So if you are worried about your height, do not worry too much about it. Keep in mind that being too tall, is not something that is genetically based. It is a question of quality of life and posture that you can improve with exercise and diet. However if you are already too tall for your taste, there is no reason why you should fear looking down on others.
