my special penpal

[Rational passion]

And for the record, why would it matter if a shorter man could kick my ass? First, I'm exclusively lesbian. Second, I'm the tall one in the relationship. And third, it is easier for a smaller person to feel physically protected in the arms of a larger person, whether or not the larger person is actually capable of offering that protection is irrelevant. (For instance, my gf is about 6 inches shorter than me, but could kick my ass without hardly trying.. Yet, she says she feels much safer with me around.)

This is all very true. Except that for accuracy's sake, I'll point out that I'm 7.5 inches shorter than you.

I don't know the reasons for feeling safer near a larger person. But I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one who feels it. In fact, I feel comfortable saying that our friend Zach probably feels quite safe with David.
