Nicole Kidman and Keith urban split

[Letmeoutodhere]

Really shocked to read this. I’ve always been quite fascinated by her and why Tom Cruise and she split. She’s always tried so hard to present her second marriage as perfect. It’s quite sad.

Why are some people on this thread so offended at the idea of women having physical preferences when it comes to dating? Women are allowed to decide for themselves who they date and who they don't; trying to apply social pressure on women to date men they aren't interested in for fear of being called immoral, vain, superficial etc. is inappropriate and weird. And, surprise surprise, is not a standard that men are held to.

Humans are a social species and we all have our own preferences on what we find attractive and what we don't. This is not going to change so anyone who's raising short sons is doing them a disservice if you're teaching them that women who decline to be interested in them romantically are committing a moral failure of some kind. Believing someone is doing something wrong morally often justifies treating them poorly, and we don't need to give men any more excuses to treat women poorly.

Raise your sons to be resilient, good-humoured and pro-social and they'll be absolutely fine on the dating scene even if they are short. Raise them to have a chip on their shoulder and think women owe them something and many women will be able to sense that entitlement a mile off and will steer clear. The idea that women either choose short, loving men or tall, abusive ones is offensive and is an argument incels use to justify having hateful views of women (the 'Chad' theory).

You're really not better than anyone else because you have a different/no height preference. And I don't think your husbands height has any relation to how great of a man he is either.

Any marriage ending is devastating to all those involved. They have children together and I wish them all well.

Oh shush…. Be nicer..

Thought most people knew it was a lavender marriage...

Some of the sexiest men I've ever known have been shorter than average.

Okay I wasnt intending to insult your son or short men

Nothing wrong with a short king!

Omgg 😄

Nothing wrong with a short king

I personally just prefer height

Liking celeb gossip doesnt make you a troll 😭

Personally, I don't think it's very nice to imply that women, who prefer to date tall men, can't be great women.

Just gossip and no evidence at all. Gossip doesn’t make things true.

Being a nasty bastard does.

That was exactly my point! I dont have a height preference. You do! As you rightly say, height has absolutely no bearing on the quality of the man - and yet you still have a height preference. Make your mind up.

And I think I beat shallow any day of the week!

I am reading each post and thinking what on earth, I know I will give things headspace that people on this thread think are bonkers but this discussion of two people no one knows , one of whom is an actor so probably never herself, is amazing.

No, it doesn't have a bearing on the quality of the man. It does have a bearing on how physically attractive I find him though.

It's not shallow to want to be physically attracted to my partner.

Who is being a nasty bastard?!

If every couple was guaranteed financial security and ample assets in a divorce/split, I expect the rate would be much much higher.

A marriage breakdown is always difficult but having no money problems and being able to have multiple homes, being able to choose not to work etc must help enormously with continued parenting for both parties.

The practicalities of poverty, work hours, adequate housing etc are huge barriers to many couples splitting.

I like them both so find this a bit sad.

And yet here you are. Giving it "headspace" and telling us how superior you are.

That’s rude. You think beautiful women aren’t attracted to shorter men?

They are 😄

I like tall men thats all

It’s a shame this thread has become the usual snide fest.

I am tall at 5ft10 .Long ago I had a boyfriend who was shorter than me by about 2-3 inches and he had red hair .He had a fantastic personality and was so much fun .Never a dull moment with him .I still laugh about the things we did together but always remember the comments from others about the difference in our heights and asking me what I was doing with him.I didn't care neither did he .I'm sure Nicole and Keith Urban don't give a fig about the fact that she is taller .It actually is a bigger problem for other shallow people from my experience.

Apparently Nicole filed for divorce today.

I've never had any interest in celebs but when i saw NK in Dead Calm decades ago I had her tipped for superstardom. But something never rang true in the things she said. She always said she would give up everything for love and family..she repeatedly said this but never showed any evidence of doing so. Nobody would expect her to give up her career but she takes on work that for the life of me I cannot fathom...eg endless ad campaigns for luxury products. Why does she need to do this vacuous time-consuming promotion? She should take a leaf out of Frances McDortmund's book of living a good life.
