High Standards

I've recently had a few casual conversations at work about what women want in a guy. It suddenly hit me that high heels play a large part in the modern match-making culture. Women often choose men who are at least their height + the height of their heels. This way, when the couple is in a social setting, the woman can look fashionable and still have a man who appears suitably taller and masculine. I was blown away that a little piece of plastic on an incredibly uncomfortable fashion accessory can have that much of an impact on our modern culture. I'm hopeful that most people see past this superficial approach to dating. My guess is that it plays a bigger part then some would like to admit.
