Tall Girls Don't Get Boyfriends

Mama Lai and I have an ongoing dispute about wearing heels.  Mama Lai and I are the same height and sometimes she takes it rather personally when I choose to go out in public with her wearing heels:
"You already lucky to be so tall!  But now you are too tall.  Men don't like tall girls."
I try to counter with an argument laced with some feminism in the form of "I do it for me because I like it and I think it looks good".  Mama Lai dismisses it as misdirected vanity:
"You do not walk around with a mirror to see yourself.  When men see you in heels they don't think you look good, they will just think you look tall."
