Does Height matter in dating? (Page 2)

well I am glad to hear responses honestly.  it does not matter to me but when you have an hour long conversation where your girl is like your just too tall and feels bad she even talked to me in the first place because of it then its an issue.  yes maybe there is more to it then just that but I really do not know.

1. Todd, nice to see you again. You've been missed.

2. It's not about the height OR the pizza (in this case).

What makes her think you are so *tall*???

In my personal, not so limited experience, tall does not = *tall* just as short does not = *short*

I am surprised she is assuming because you are tall in height you are tall in length.  How old is this girl?

Or is she simply worried she is going to be looking at your chest *during*?  And if so, why is that an issue?  There are many other ahem... positions with which to make pizza.

well she is worried that when it comes time to take the relationship to a more phyisical level some things will be too big because she is pretty tiny.  By then she will be in love and heartbroken because figures that would be the end of us.  This is all based on a guess.

This girl is 30 years old.

Bacon means the pork product.  meaning she does not keep Kosher.

Interesting thread... 

My first reply was just like Acefull - after I sent in the reply and re-read your OP then I realized what it's actually about.  

OK . if she really did spend an hour discussing "you're just too tall", she has issue.  It's not like you suddenly grew taller over the past week.  She DECIDED to go out with you well-knowing how you look like.  Now she has problem with that??
Run.   

+1...  Agreed..


ps.. Male taller than female:  Not much of an issue
       Female taller than male:  Can be an issue..

yeah. she wants me to call her tomorrow to hear what she has decided on weather or not to take the chance really.  Before we met she thought it might be fun but not sure what happened.  maybe her family said something to her.  I really do not know. Sad thing is I really liked this girl and even with the height issue I really felt good about it. 

There's definitely something else going on here.  If she has to think about it and "decide" whether or not to take a chance on you, it's not about your height.  I hate to lay the brutal honesty on you, but if I had to guess, she is:

1. Deciding whether or not you are good enough period.  Not because of your height.  Good enough for her to bother with.

2. Waiting to hear from someone else, but likes you enough to keep you hanging just in case the other guy doesn't call/write/deliver pizza.

This chick is 30 years old.  She's plenty old enough to decide if she wants pizza from you or not without having to do freaking mathematical equations in her head overnight to analyze your height difference or the length of your body parts.

Dude... Really. Run.

woah...she's worried the salame won't fit???....run man, run far and fast!!

Height to me doesnt matter, though I do like a tall lanky kinda girl...I'd be happy simply to hook up with someone normal!

I'm sorry, I have to agree.
She is actually telling you that she thinks you will be too big for her and that is her reason for maybe breaking it off???  She has issues.  Of course you could possibly put her mind at ease.
I am stunned that she is basing your SIZE on your HEIGHT.  Sounds like a very naive 30 year old woman.  A quick Google will tell her height is not the best indictor of SIZE.
And her family?  Really?  You think her family is worried about your SIZE???  This is VERY odd.

ETA:  Ok, this whole size thing has me worried and I hate to ask this question but it seems applicable but are you a 'bigger' guy?  Or are you a lean tall guy?  Do you think this could be part of it?

yeah I think you are right about such things.  I get the feeling she is not very experienced when it comes to pizza.

I think her family would be worried about the fact I am not Jewish.

If she is THAT concern, you may consider giving her a little presentation and let her decide whether to proceed or not. 

This is the most bizarre thread...

How does the fact that she is Jewish, yet she eats bacon and is not kosher ... how/why does that matter and/or fit into any of this??

So a) she's only going to sleep with you after she's decided that she's emotionally invested in the relationship, so you don't even really know how long it may be until that happens... and b) she's scared that once she finally commits to this and *gasp* might actually get naked with you, the sex will be horrific because you're too "tall", and therefore the relationship must necessarily fail??

You have yet to say whether you honestly believe her concerns (physical) are valid, although whether that matters at this point I have no idea.   There are so many levels of whackiness to this.

So I see you've met Chirunner....

I wonder if Marmadaddy is still working on that translator?

last i heard, he had enlisted navajo code talkers to help with the algorithm.

Sweetheart, I hate to be the negative chick here, but I'm trying to save you some heartache.

1. How much experience she has with pizza has zero to do with whether or not she wants to have pizza with you.  Horny-ness wins over experience every time.  If she wants you bad enough that will override any concerns she has. 

2. I doubt this has anything to do with the Jewish thing.  If it was, you would have been out of the running from the get go because you aren't Jewish.  End of story.

Honestly, I'm guessing this girl thought you were a nice guy, and figured she'd give you a shot.  Assuming you paid for everything (and probably still do, being a gentleman), it was a good deal for her to hang out with a nice guy and have a good time.  Now that you're obviously more into her, she is backpedaling and using the height thing as an excuse because she doesn't like you "like that" and doesn't want to hurt your feelings.  Seriously, beware because I think she's playing you.  I only say that because I have played this game before (not proud of it, but I've done it).

She mentioned that we already have an issue because we do not have common religious background even though she does not care.  Maybe she is worried my family/her family would.  I really do not know.  but the height thing was the thing discussed in great length.  

yeah I hate that game hence the old quote about girls being expensive.  dated a girl 2 months once cost me about $2k on dates.  She dumped me because she felt like she was getting attached.

he will. for 50 miles. without training.

more like 52.5 miles. been there done that.
