34!!!!
When this came out I was in my mid teens and I had that poster of Linda Ronstadt. You know, the one with the multicolored top, the black hair with the low bangs, the stirrups hoop earrings and stoned look on her face.
Yeah, I spent a lot of time holding up that poster with one hand. She had the kind of face that had that effect on me, still does- the little pixiesh girls with the dark eyes and the corners of their mouths turned up in the merest smile. I think big guys always go for the tiny girls, maybe we think the size will breed out eventually. Could be just how those tiny hands look on my… but enough about that.
I would like to hope we’ve turned the corner and it will start getting warmer for here in but I know better. At least I have, thanks to a lot of good friends, a lot of firewood.

Protection instinct. All 3 of my wife’s have been tiny.
Beyond size and the fact they are women, I don’t think any of them would like the others.
I guess they all had brown hair, but whose counting.
I always went for tiny blondes and brunettes. Redheads didn’t really exist in my circle, unless they were fake — and a real redhead is a find.
I did end up marrying one who fits in “petites”, but that term in women’s clothing appears to have more to do with “short” than “tiny”. (On the other hand, she’s lost nearly 30 pounds lately and has a new hip…looks fabulous…and could purely kick my broken-down, out-of-shape ass. So there’s that.)
(She’s a blonde by the way. I may have implied that she was a redhead. I have more red in my [remaining] hair than she does :) )
My ex was a redhead, and that red hair don’t lie.
Redheads. I’ve been blessed(?) to have known a number of the darlings. Gaelic Storm has a song about those lovely critters:

I’ve never met the woman, but for some reason the line “violin with a bayonet” flashes Lady Tam to me.

Tam is not a good person to piss off, but who is?
My ex was a redhead, and it was everything you’d think it was.
While you were holding on to Ronstadt’s poster, Moonbeam was getting all her action…
Yeah, well, she wasn’t studying any chubby 15 year old kids.
I always thought tiny women defied physics – small enough to fit in the palm of my hand, and yet able to wrap me around their little finger…
Yeah, I love being the big palooka who can swallow her in a hug, kiss her on top of her head, and make it all alright. I’ve had my run of 4’8″ to 5’0″ women, and it’s as close as I am to having a physical “type.”
Ronstadt; the Living in the USA album. On those skates with the knee high socks and jogging shorts, then the record sleeve of her tying her laces. You had your encouragement, and I had mine.
Linda!!! No one sings like her. They don’t even try. She still seems lovely but geez when we were young she could rock the boat.
Speaking as a short woman, we like you big guys. As much as we are independent, we also like the feeling of security we get from those bear hugs. Plus, you can get stuff off the high shelves for us. I am five foot one, my husband six one. The combo worked well; our son is tall and our daughter short.
The Lush Life Trilogy.
Linda in 1940’s fashion.
Don’t get me wrong … both the classic poster and the skate photo “inspired” me but for sheer sexiness those classic styles does it every time.
OTOH, I dated a lot of redheads. Married a blonde. A man has to know his limits.
I think Miss Ronstadt is the second best singer of the ’70s and ’80s. (Maddy Prior will always be #1 to me) She flawlessly transitioned between Rock, Light Opera, Spanish Folk, Country (Search YouTube for The Trio of Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris), and American Classics (the Lush Life Trilogy).
