I believe that men often overlook the power that comes with height. Well, I guess I really shouldn't refer to men exclusively, seeing that they do not have a monopoly on being tall. Although men are commonly thought of as the taller gender, things seem to be changing as time moves forward. Women are growing taller these days, while men seem to be getting shorter. Could this be karma by any chance? Regardless, with height comes a definite dominance or control. You may not know it if you've always been the tall one. Maybe you've become complacent and the notion just lingers in the back of your mind. However, if you're one of the vertically challenged, then you certainly understand. You're constantly gazing up to those who are taller than you. Hey, don't fret! After all, this is where the contemporary 5 inch heel comes into the picture. Well, at least for the softer sex.

Women have it easy, right? Now hold on! Just stick with me for a moment. If a woman has a pimple, she can just conceal it with make-up. But, if a man has a fat zit on his chin, it's out there for the world to see until it goes away. If a woman is short, she can turn to the 5 inch heel snazzy footwear in her closet. On the contrary, if a man is short, he is just short. What's up with this routine? What about us guys? Women can remedy their "lesser assets," however; men are stuck with no armor. Now I will admit that I'm not exactly vertically challenged. I'm 6'1" barefoot. This puts me at 6'2" with my shoes on. But, a few of my best buddies are on the shorter side. Take my friend Tracy for example. He's 5'2". Ah ha, and you thought you were vertically challenged! There aren't too many adult males out there that are 5'2". Anyway, he doesn't have a 5 inch heel set of footwear he can slip on to magically become 5'7". He just has typical guy shoes like the rest of us. What I'm getting at here is all you ladies should consider yourself fortunate.

My wife doesn't even own a pair of shoes with a 5 inch heel. She's 5'5" and typically goes with a two or three inch heel. This is probably common for many women of this height. This way you're a whopping 5'7"-5'8" with your shoes on. That's socially accepted. Now, for all you ladies out there, who are uncomfortable with your short stature, try the 5 inch heel for a boost. Just be glad your gender offers such luxuries.
