What would your sitcom be?

I was asked on my Date Lab profile, "If we created a TV show about your love life, what would it be?" This got me thinking...

My first reaction is "Comedy." Maybe even a new show all together that hasn't been done before. "Tall, 5'11" woman seeks a 6' man, but only finds the 5'8" men interesting." What is it with height? All of my life I have been called the jolly green giant or amazon woman, and when I have dated men shorter than I am, other women say, "I don't know how you do it. Dating someone who only comes up to your chin?" Men have been doing it for centuries. In fact, I see more men who are above 6' dating small woman (4'11" or 5'). I have been conditioned to think that a tall man is better for me. That we would look more evenly matched. But when it comes down to it, does it measure how wonderful a person is? No.

I think back to the a story in my family that takes on unconventional stereotypes. It's about 'Big Sug," (Lola Warren Walker) who was married to Jay Walker. They were opposites in terms of body type. She was overweight and diabetic. He was stick skinny. He used to say that Big Sug was big, but it was just more of her to love. They were very quirky and maybe a little crazy, but very much in love.

When I was in my 20's, I was looking for someone who looked good on paper; 6'5" with brown hair, blue eyes, great smile, and fantastic forearms. Clearly, those men were out there, but their personalities were not a match with mine.

Now that I'm in my 30's, I'm changing my tune. Looks are going to wane as we get older. Heck, even my eyesight is going to go at somepoint. So, why not be with someone who is your best friend. Who has seen me through my worst and best. Someone who may not be Matt Damon or Brad Pitt, but who makes me laugh. I think my TV show looks more like "Ed" instead of "Beverly Hills 90210" now, and that's just fine with me.
