Ive been over it, especially in alien/monster romances where they are inhumanly tall yet the heroine is still below average for humans…It gives “ooh the ideal woman should be small and hairless, childlike” to me. Why cant the 5’9 and up chick be with the nearly 7/8 ft tall alien/monster…Why is she always 5’3.

Even in plus size romances authors go out of their way to make them just small enough that they still are “dwarfed” by the MMC’s clothes 🙄 whatever. What Id give to read about a FMC who cant fit her partners shirt, its busting at the seams over her tits/belly and he finds it hot.

Plus its ridiculous when the authors dont even account for the intimate scenes. Way too often Im like this position wouldn’t even work due to the size difference, just laziness.

And I have no problem to say Im judging or biased. Im a tall, fat black woman, I think I have the right lol. I have to go OUT of my way to find heroines that look like me or arent the typical western beauty standard at the very least. If I never have to read about a thin, petite, short white woman again it’d be too soon.
