Disillusioned Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It sounds like a broken record when I hear guys who are shorter than 5'8" griping about how if only they were taller, they'd get more attention from women. Well, if it's any comfort to you, I don't exactly get drop-tackled by women every time I go to the store to buy grokes. Part of that is due to the Unwritten Rules (i.e., the woman must NEVER make the first move), but it's been my experience that a lot of women want to stare at a giant, but not date him or, God forbid, marry him. Strangers who approach me (including some men, not just women) often talk to me like I'm an idiot... they've been watching too many cartoons (giant = dummy). Then it turns them off when they figure out I'm no dummy, and that I've written a couple of books. Not to be racist or anything, but I get along best with women who are black or white (my black friends don't do the staring thing because a lot of them are almost as tall as I am)... however I never dug Asian women. Damned if I know why, but maybe it's because tooting your own horn is a no-no in Asian cultures. So it would sort of piss me off when I used to go to speed dating parties and Asian women would tell me, "I'd LIKE to go steady with a giant!" Really? Honey, when you're a giant, you're stuck buying from Men's Wearhouse or from catalogs. And forget about driving a sports car. I think the women who said they'd like to date a giant, only wanted one for the novelty value. OTOH Danny de Vito doesn't complain about being short (it also helps that he's funny). Personally, I'd rather be a wealthy midget than a giant who doesn't have money falling out of his ass. Link to post Share on other sites

Flying can be even more fun and you can't take any of the budget airlines as they insist on making their seats so small that not even a child could get comfortable in one of their seats. Think of the attention as a consolation prize for all the crap you have to put up with. You can ignore girls who are too materialistic and just keep your eyes peeled for the good ones. From your height they should be easy to spot. Link to post Share on other sites

Author Disillusioned Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 but at the end of the day, he's still clutching his V-CARD Nuthin' wrong with that... being a virgin was fine until a few promiscuous yokels back in the 60s got tired of being stigmatized, and decided to turn the tables. FYI virgins don't go through life feeling gypped. I think you'll make OpenGL's head explode if he reads this... Who the hell's OpenGL? Link to post Share on other sites

And who cares about sports cars? If anything, buy a sports sedan from Mercedes or BMW (E63 AMG or M5), now that's where the money's at baby. And hey, tall people make more money on average, so you ain't got nothing to complain about. Link to post Share on other sites

DiscoChick Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Every guy I know over 6'2 had health issues. It's either their knees, back, neck, or some BS going on with their heart rates. I do prefer men 5'7+, but I like to talk to guys before writing them off. I like making new friends. Link to post Share on other sites
