Posted: 2/9/2006 12:07:38 PM | ^^^you are not short at all torentrap, I think 5'8 is a perfectly tall height for a woman when the average ios around 5'5.
Now I would have loved 2 more inches ...ooops I forgot we were talking about height here | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 12:44:56 PM | Bandito don't worry you didn't guilt me into the correction on my profile. I don't do things to feel guilty for....I'm very careful about my behavior.
To me a 2 inch fib is totally irrelevant and not worth any guilt over. Now....IIIIIFFFFFFFF I led any guy into thinking we would actually meet in person and date THEN I would feel guilty. Horribly guilty. I couldn't face myself. I NEVER NEVER want to waste anyone's time like that. And my profiles always state "chat and friends only". So no guilt trips at all on my part. I'm a Guilt-Free Zone! (I'm even gonna eat these cookies guilt free....cuz I know I'll be on the treadmill later)
I do respect where you are coming from so no hard feelings here either. I just don't take this whole Pond as seriously as some people do. For me it is entertainment. Period. But NEVER at the expense of someone's feelings. Just harmless chit chat. If someone is capable of interesting intelligent chit chat that's cool. If that is too difficult but they are still quite capable of acting like an ass and ranting and raving insults at me that's cool too!! THOSE guys are the FUNNIEST fish of all. | |

Just remember, not everyone is here for fun and entertainment, and there does exist a need to maintain a certain code of conduct as stipulated by the site administrators. However, think about the next time someone comes home disappointed because the person she/he became enchanted with here was 2 inches shorter than he/she was led to believe. To her/him, what you call a "fib" was an outright lie and can be a humiliating blow of betrayal.
Naturally I am a fun and silly person. I am smart enough not going to let myself be betrayed in that manner. I guess I wasn't looking at things so selfishly as you and just trying to impress upon you and everyone else that there is a bigger picture out there.
Lets just try and keep it clean and safe out there for all the fish in the pond | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 4:04:20 PM | I share your concern about people being disappointed and disenchanted with false information. I would feel VERY bad if I caused anyone any heartache like that. But I know that could never happen with me since we are not going to meet in person. I think most of the disappointment and grief that I have been a part of was 99.9999999% because the guys did not read my profile to begin with and see it right there in black and white that I'm not looking for a date.
Seriously....those types of guys generate so much humiliation for themselves, it is sad. Many of them are looking for long term...yet they still waste their time by writing to me....a person who has no intentions of dating them. let alone becoming anything long term. Oh well...that is another thread subject that has been discussed close to half a million times...or more! I feel some sorrow for those guys, but I certainly don't feel guilt since I didn't cause the grief. Just as I didn't cause any grief with a "2 inch fib" between people who KNOW they will never meet, yet enjoy some interesting, humorous, enlightening, intellectually stimulating conversations.
I know a lot of people do take this place very seriously...that astonishes me!! YES...it can work! I do know several couples who married from online sites. But....to approach it as a serious "soul-mate tracking system" is over the edge for me! I do know everyone on here has different cognitive and emotional capacities. And of course even the least mature and lowest IQ people on here deserve respect (perhaps especially they do)...However all I can do is specify that I am not looking for a date.......that's all I can do. After that it's up to them to decide if they (a "serious, long term searcher") should really write to me (a chit-chat, no dates, seeker). That right there should be enough to keep the "serious" people away from me. But...it's not. So.....UNCLE!! That's me, giving up and yelling "uncle"! uncle, uncle uncle!!! heheheheee (what the heck does that mean anyway??)
Sorry to get a bit off topic...but the point is I'm not going to meet them. So their being kinda short will never come up and they will never be humiliated. I would never just surprise someone in person with something like that. That's not nice. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 4:12:48 PM | | Really. I've never had a problem. I'm only around 5'9"-5'10" and the tallest so far has been 6'8". the rest 6'2" and above. Are you looking in the right places, thier eyes? Heck. Hit on them. Show off those legs! I so love being this height. I'd prefer a couple to be 5'11" or 6"ft. But hey, thats the way the apple falls from the tree. Are you against dating someone an inch or two shorter? Are you looking for love, companionship or status quo? As usual, another opinion. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 4:18:14 PM | The grief daisie is your are condoning lying in profiles because it suits your needs. You havent caused any grief that you know of because you haven't told the people you chat with that you deceived them. For someone who claims to be an intellectual you are still looking at your actions and making judgements about them very selfishly.
I will back off though...I never understood why the term "uncle" was suppose to mean I give up. Maybe it was in reference to that weird Uncle Ernie that every one was scared of a ran as soon as they saw him | |

Posted: 3/7/2006 1:41:33 PM | | I think taller women are greatly prized, especially among shorter men. Personally, I've never felt intimidated by a taller women. Well, not since high school. I don't know if this is applicable, but there is an unspoken, almost illicit attraction between taller women and shorter men. I'm serious. Most tall women, I know, prefer tall men. But there is a percentage of tall ladies who are absolutely crazy about shorter men. Trust me. | |

Posted: 3/7/2006 3:50:13 PM | TALL, SHORT.... What the Difference
Theres more important issues than that - I am 5-5" and Most women are taller than me - Who Cares ! However some Women Won't Date a Guy My Height - its their loss I guess
Whats on The outside is Important but not the Most Important thing, its whats on the inside that really matters | |

Posted: 3/16/2006 1:49:14 AM | Daisy,
I read your profile. I wish there were more women like you. Tall, attractive and VERY smart.
I once dated a tall red head who was every bit romantic and intellectual. Unfortunately, she passed away this past October (weak heart), at 28 years of age.
You are right some men are too immature to handle a tall gal.
One thing is for sure, I will miss looking up at her eyes and resting my head on her shoulders when we slow danced. (this reminds me of an old tropical spanish song where the lyrics go :
God made me suffer by having me fall in love with you, only to have you taken from me). | |

Posted: 3/16/2006 2:58:23 AM | | My first GF was 5'11" one inch taller than me. It didn't ever bother me and I don't think I would have a problem with dating a woman who was tall again. Now a total Amazon that is something else but I would be thinking more of physical compatibility than anything. | |

Posted: 3/23/2006 11:17:21 PM | Odd how this works...I'm 6', having been on this site for but a few months, yet I've found that tall woman have been unapproachable...even at the same height as I!!! Then tall women turn that around and state they wish not to date a guy shorter than they are.
Maybe it might be that I scare the bejeesuz out of women with looks that could knock a buzzard off a sh!t wagon, or that I'm not Mr. Universe. But still...it sure seems the 'wanting the cake and eat it too' even applies to height.
What I read at times in these forums seems to consistantly go against logic and reasoning alot, yet the seemingly constant attitude and search continues for the few SELECTIVE tall guys. Unscientific of course, but still an observation. Only once has a tall gal (5'9") been in contact with me. And so it goes...the endless, finicky play.............
To those who worry about how tall someone is...keep casting the line!!

Metaphorically speaking, right on...great analogy!
Does it seem to you, Montreal Guy, we kinda end up around the same forums? (Maybe the Siskle and Ebert of POF).  | |

Posted: 3/24/2006 4:48:13 AM | Im not that tall 5' 8" but I would guess because if a tall guy dates a tall girl he doesn't feel so big
as much as he would being with a short woman being with a shorter woman. Why don't tall women date short men? | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 10:14:30 AM | Daisy, and all you tall gorgeous Goddesses,
If a woman said she was 5'10 and turned out 6' or even much taller (6'5" etc.)
I would NOT be offened, I would be very delightfully surprised.
With long legs, larger hands, bigger feet and larger breasts (bigger Butt?!?!)
can only mean one thing: there is more to cuddle, caress, kiss, massage and adore.
I find it so sexy just resting my head on a taller woman's shoulder while we slow dance.
The feeling of those hands cradling my head as I plant kisses on those shoulders and a long graceful neck. the feeling is soo intoxicating. (puts me in a dreamy state).
Yeah, the tall babes in Detroit got me spoiled (they keep me sooo in cloud no. 9).
I just want a VALKYRIE to adore. | |
