I feel for ya man. I'm entirely in the same boat as you, Manimal. How tall are you?

I'm about 5'7"-5'8". Which makes me about the same height as a lot of women, and like TallOne said, that doesn't usually end up being something that women usually pursue.

I don't know why the taller the guy is, the more attractive he is. I've seen couple where the women, was *literally* a little over half as tall as the guy. I think that's just wrong.

Mechanic?!

....Marry me.

I've always wanted to marry a woman that I can work on my cars with, side-by-side.

While I'm complimented, I am already happily married to a greaser myself.

It's great to see that there are guys out there that aren't intimidated by, but like to see a lady throw down.

I remember Tall in Black saying that a lot of guys are easily intimidated?

Korova and Tall in Black...a matchmaker's dream, yes?!?!

Actually, my mister is only about 3 inches taller than me. I like it that way. No offense to taller guys, but they are usually too cocky for me. I like em' short and scrappy. Plus, the hubby and I are just about eye level and that's nice.

TheKorovaMilkbar · 12-13-2005, 01:36 AM

I'm flattered you'd think of me and TallOne. She gets more attractive and radiant with each post, definitely what I look for in a women. But the fact stands that she is a few inches taller than me (I like not to have to stand on my tip-toes to kiss a woman and vice-versa

), and I believe she has a man, who, for what she described, treats her as an equal. Honestly, I've not seen for myself much equality in relationships in the world, save for here on Gnet, and it really makes me happy to see that there is equality, and also that chivalry isn't dead. (I was beginning to think that I was the only person who ever offered a woman his jacket)

I'm glad you found someone like you did, BH, and TallOne. Congrats to you both.

I'm in a good mood now.

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-13-2005, 01:47 AM

Thank you, my mister is awesome.

My bad, I didn't know TallOne had a mister before I tried to matchmake you!

But you're like, what, in your late teens/early twenties, right?

Just don't settle and you'll find a bad ass girl that you can grease around with and be chivalrous to.

(Inspirational speech #552)

Happiness in couple land can take a while, less for some and more for others, but looking forward to meeting the right person is better than being bummed about not having them yet.

Any girl worth having respects herself and wants her man to respect her too, in my opinion...

TheKorovaMilkbar · 12-13-2005, 01:55 AM

Yes, I'm 20. Seems that my waiting to meet the perfect girl has proven to be quite frustrating (that and the fact that I'm very shy around new people), and has left me absent of certain relationship experiences that would prove quite important. I'm certain that I'll meet better people when I leave this God-forsaken town, though.

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-13-2005, 01:59 AM

I'm shy too, so when I meet new people I don't talk to them for a very long time.

I met my mister on a stroke of luck. Where do most people go to meet possible mates, other than bars and church?

And, uh, forums?

TheKorovaMilkbar · 12-13-2005, 02:04 AM

Stroke of luck. Hmm... Good song.

I met my last love through my best friend. Also, I still have school to meet people through. I can't imagine going to a bar to meet people. I don't much like big crowds.

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-13-2005, 02:16 AM

In order to address our current 'couples' converation and also hand down my thread jacker status...behold, heliophobe kissing hubby in a graveyard! This was when we got married. I hope he doesn't mind me posting a pic of him but it's so dark you can't see too much of us anyways. Smooch!

Miss_Butterfly · 12-13-2005, 02:33 AM

*shrugs* I really have no other half, nor ever really had one. It all comes to end before it even starts...

So, how do you actually meet someone and kinda keep them? [not being posessive, just expressive] or is it just luck?

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-13-2005, 02:38 AM

Well, I have a bad relationship past. No advice in that area, because my hubby wants to be with me, so as long as I don't cheat on him or be all crazy, I don't have to try and 'keep him'. He stays all on his own. Call it luck, call it finding the right person, I dunno.

Blushing Heliophobe · 12-13-2005, 02:53 AM

My expert opinion on relationships (ha!) is that if you find yourself asking how you can keep a guy/girl, you should probably dump them.

I am EXTREMELY short... the shortest person in my whole family. Everyone is giant to me, (I'm about 5' 3") my boyfriend is something like 5' 9" and he thinks he's short. He's a silly-pants. Honestly, even if he was shorter than me I'd still date him. Height is a silly thing to throw love away over.. And sadly I've seen people do it. Korova you shouldn't sell yourself short (no pun intended) You seem like a very competant wonderful person... I'm sure any girl you sought after would be interested and flattered..

Arrghhh!! *shakes fist*

Thanks for the kind words of confidence Nix. Time will tell I suppose.

What you said about dating your boyfriend if he was shorter than you, I believe you on that, it's his views on it that make it not likely. It feels like unequality, an imbalance of power, if you will, between two people.

Tall One In Black · 12-13-2005, 09:36 AM

Korova,
You're such a sweet and chivalrous guy. It wouldn't be my advanced height that kept us apart, it would be my advanced age. You're too youthful to be saddled with an old fart like me!

I basically gave up on dating when I lived in Georgia. I never felt comfortable there; the people made no sense to me. So the chances of finding a compatible mate would be been slim. It sounds like you're in a similar situation.

After I moved, I met lots of people with whom I could form some sort of connection. I hope you'll have similar luck. Do you have any idea where you would like to live?

Anytime! I think you are magnificent!

Actually before he went after me he was into this really tall German chick. He really liked her alot, but she said she would never date anyone his height. Oh well for her... her loss my gain! Size means nothing to me... The chance of you finding the perfect someone is slim to none. So when they get there, shouldn't you grab on with everything you have and not let go?

This could be completely different for me because I am so small. If it was reversed I would still be with my boyfriend. I truly believe there is someone for everyone. You will find her one day Korova...

*hugs*

joyslayer · 12-13-2005, 02:54 PM

Well, I sure as hell hope that height doesn't have anything to do with have a good realationship. My man is a foot taller than me. But I still happen to be the dominant one. Which is still a mystery to me.
