    True story:

    A little while ago, I went out on a date with a girl that I wasn't all that attracted to physically. She told me a story about accidentally getting her mom arrested for possession. She stole my heart with that :love:

    Take it any way you want.
    Only 5' 7 :cry:
    Other true story:

    I recently went out with a friend of mine and we started comparing each other's height on the metro home (our BAC may have been non-zero). From my perspective, the difference between us is pretty big (I'm ~1.75, he must be ~1.80-1.85). A (short) girl that was next to us started laughing and said "You know guys, from down here you look pretty much the same."

    Again, take it any way you want.

    Superficial things, like height requirements, are why most relationships fail
    So, do people not know how tall their SOs are until they're already in a relationship and then it fails because someone is too tall or too short?

    I can't say I've ever had that experience.

    I have..... they think they can adjust but then they just bail... mostly with weight instead of height... in the weight case they think you can lose it overnight and when you don't become what they want in the time frame they want they move on to the next "fixer upper" ...... If they were worth being with they would take you for your heart and your mind and they type person you are and not just how you look.
    Right, but he didn't name something that fluctuates and one can somewhat control. He specifically said height and used it in the context of relationships failing, which means not that a guy dismissed a potential relationship, but actually ended a current one.

    Because of height.

    As though that was not apparent from the get-go.

    Are people wearing lifts in their shoes?

    Did you happen to miss the word "like", meaning I was giving an example of a superficial requirement that some people have. I could have said "Superficial things, like less than 7/10 facial aesthetics.

    the ones who saw the title and went on with their day without a second look.
    Some of us just like the entertainment value.

    I'm well ensconced in a very long-term relationship, so I'm pretty sure whatever men like, I already possess it.
    Oooh, Sassy!

    I did not miss the word. In the context of the post, it was a very, very strange example.

    No one I know has ever gotten into a relationship and had it fall apart over height.

    Now, some people will not date people over or below a certain height, but in that case, there is no relationship to have fall apart. Please give me an example of an actual relationsip falling apart over someone's height.

    Not really. You're still calling her disgusting. That's not okay. "Buff women aren't my type," or "I'm not into large muscles," are much more appropriate because you acknowledge it as your preference, not any shortcomings on her part.

    Agree to disagree.

    I am sorry but I actually agree with this guy.
    Disgusting is not a nice word, at all. But in this particular example, it is not exactly the wrong word. There is absolutely nothing attractive about that kind of muscle on a woman to me. I look in the body building magazines and every time I come across a woman that looks like that I think "ew" and turn the page quickly.

    ...except for the little problem of the usage of that word in that context being a violation of the TOS.

    I am 6'1 and I am not particularly superficial. I've dated men who are as short as 5'9- 5'10 and I would like to think dating someone who is 5'7 wouldn't bother me and maybe I'd begin a relationship with a guy of that stature but it could possibly be an issue later on.
    And perhaps I am a poor example since I am not average height, but what he is saying could actually happen.

    I'm going out on a limb to say that if you meet someone, fall for that person enough to actually begin a relationship (not a couple dates, but an actual relationship) and it fails, there's something much bigger going on than someone's height.

    Other than the obligatory "my wife" answer....

    I had a dream the other night about falling in love with the perfect girl -- and she was, too.

    So, if I remember right, she was about 5'5" with semi-long straight brown hair, very fit but not rail-thin (looked great in a swimsuit -- or without one), she was fun loving, could have a great time, but knew what's important and was able to prioritize. Unconditionally loving and completely accepting of who I am with all my faults. Never got riled or upset or overwhelmed, but was generally happy and positive. She loved doing things and didn't like being stuck in a house all day. She was spontaneous yet grounded, free-spirited yet religious. Adventurous yet practical. And always full of energy and remarkably healthy. She loved a good salad but also the occasional donut.

    Wow -- that was a good dream. Just sayin.

    That doesn't make it disgusting.

    That makes you a bigot attempting to invalidate the person's hard work because you don't find it visually appealing.
