mr2tony - 2008-07-17 9:34 AM How short is `short' for guys, ladies? I know opinions will vary. Like compared to Kiley I should be working for Keebler. Comapred to Cami I should be working for that green bean company.

I'm 5'1" so pretty much anything works for me.. I even dated a guy who was slightly shorter than me.. And OMG.. the you know what was great...

I'm 5'5 1/4" and all I've heard from most women in my life - at least until recently - is that "you're too short." It gets really tiresome, but people do tend to finally grow up when they hit their 40s and realize that they're NOT 'all that and a bag of chips' anymore. 

I was 18/19 when I dated Paul..  He was in his mid 30's (ok ok.. late 30s.. makes him sound like a perv)..  It was different being taller than the guy but it wasn't bad..  Being similar heights made making out fun and easy

It is nice when they're kinda at eye-level. But last ex-boyfriend was tall and I liked that too - I felt all snuggly when he'd hug me

Even that term doesn't sound PC.

Yeah, there's no real way around describing something like that, that doesn't sound offensive.

True ... but at least TRY! Hey TAN, when did people stop saying `Thank you' when you hold open a door for them? Like it's my fu**ing job to stand here and hold this fu**ing door for you. What's funny is that I'm in a GOOD mood. If I weren't I probably would've said soemthing.

Happens all the time to me.  I always give the condenscending "YOU'RE WELCOME", then get "the look" because I said it.  You just can't win.



I usually get a "thank you" when I do it. But I'm a big, menacing hulk of a fellow. (not really, but you know...)

Plus, I'm in the South.

I believe it is defined as "shorter than said female".

Spot-on.

Hi, John!

Hi - Yanti - I dropped my phone in water and had to get a new one in Pittsburgh. I needed to call you but I didn't have the number. I have to put in all of my numbers again.

So - anyone whose number I had - i no longer have. please PM them so if I am in your locality and need bail money, it will be readily vailable. Thanks.

Seriously,  you'd bail me out!  And it wouldn't even take you that long to get up here.

Howyadoin', it hasn't been the same here without you. Some people been misbehaving, but I'm not going to tattle. 

Of course I would - now I am interested in what you have been doing to need to get bailed out!!!!

 

It has beeen an emotionally power packed week that I have not recovered from yet.  I am only in today so things don't get out of control and then I am going to take the rest of the week off.  Hopefully I will have settled my brain a little by then.

I've heard of the "good ol' Southern Hospitality".  Never been down there, though, to experience it.

It is nice when they're kinda at eye-level. But last ex-boyfriend was tall and I liked that too - I felt all snuggly when he'd hug me

And when you're in heels that makes them almost boob level  (wait.. did i just say that out loud???)

I like tall guys too.. I dated a guy after Paul who was 6'5".. 

Haha, naw, with me in heels, that puts them at eye level.

Dang! Haha, no the roommie isn't a dwarf. She's just short. She was a coxswain in college.




Oh god I had a roommate that did that in college. Dude was this tiny guy from NYC that was wound tighter than a golf ball. Every little thing set him off. I used to call it something I can't print here and every single time I said it he'd go off the walls ticked. Didn't like that little guy.

Dunno, how tall are you? For me, 5'7" or taller is fine. I do wear heels a lot, and a pair of 3-inch heels makes me about 5'6".

You shoulda been a math major.

Most of the women i've dated/married are a good bit shorter than me (I'm 6'1).. its nice when you hug em and your chin is on the top of their head...

What? I said I was not quite 5'3" so in 3-inch heels, I'd be almost 5'6". So a dude who is 5'7" or above is perfect, since I would not be taller than him even in heels. Don't see where the math was particularly off.

Heh. That was one of the few roommates I had at NEU that didn't rip me off for money. So he had that going for him.
