In the dating world, everyone has their own list for what makes an ideal partner.
From finances to personal habits and even hobbies, would you consider height a make or break factor in your relationship?
A recent confession made to the community Facebook page MY (Malaysia) has been gaining traction on the platform after a woman revealed what her personal traits for an ideal boyfriend is.
Luckily for her, she thinks she may have found the one! Unfortunately, one little (no pun intended) issue stands in her way — her man is shorter than her.
In the opening of her confession, the woman states that she may have found a partner for life, someone she would very readily settle down and plan her future with
"I met a wonderful man who is responsible, yet spoils me whenever I want anything. If ever we get into an argument, he is always the one to give in to me first. He has a good character. He also knows how to manage his money well. He's never touched my money and has aided me in situations that were rough," she wrote.
However, the gushing doesn't last long, as she continued by stating that he has a medical condition affecting his spine, which has caused him to be shorter than her.
"He knows me very well and he's my ideal type — but he has a medical condition. He has a curved spine and is like half of my height. It doesn't affect him though, and he's perfectly capable of taking care of himself," she stated.
Ending her confession, the anonymous woman poses a question to the audience: based off his height, should she marry him or not?
Garnering tonnes of attention on Facebook, many people jumped to defend the man and accuse the confessor of having shallow standards
"He deserves to be cherished by a woman who will cherish him... not like you who will resent him," wrote one user.
Another user criticised the woman for accepting him as her boyfriend in the first place, knowing that he's had this medical condition from the very start. "This man is worthy of marriage, but he is worth more than marrying you."
One user condemned the woman for having such queries when wondering about her future with him.
"If you truly loved him, you wouldn't be asking these questions; when you ask such things, you're 'loving' him as though you're weighing out pros and cons. It's not a pure love that comes from the heart," they wrote.
Nonetheless, other users seemed to have understood the concerns of the user when making her decision.
"You need to think about your future. Post-marital care, concerns with sharing his bed, supporting him once he's unable to take care of himself, and much more. If you can't imagine doing that, or don't want to, leave now," they wrote.
Nevertheless, one of the most fruitful comments of the bunch came from a user who emphasised on what the most important consideration should be: love.
"Ask yourself, if you can accept his flaws, then it shouldn't be a problem. In your mind, he is already perfect. The most important thing is that the two of you love each other."
