Reality Ridiculous: The Tall Man/Short Woman Phenomenon

Listen up.  I am about 5’9”, well above the average height of women in the United States, which is approximately 5’4”.  I have an inexplicable urge to wear stiletto heels, this disorder having emerged at the age of 6 months old – the higher the better.  As you can imagine, a pair of four inch heels will put me at about 6’1”, while a pair of six inch heels boost me to a towering 6’3”.  Now if the average height of an American male is approximately 5’9 ½”, you can imagine that I have a tough time finding a man of adequate height to complement my stature.  So why, pray tell, do I always find extremely tall men, accompanied by women who have only barely escaped elf status, by the skin of their teeth???  Not only that, but both of these parties are known to actively seek one another out!  And to add insult to injury, why is it always the pint sized males who are emboldened enough to approach me and the rest of my Amazon friends?
