Dating the Female Version of Yourself

[ohai]

“Weight” preference has to be based on appearance, since we have no way of knowing the girl’s actual weight. Even if they tell you the number, it is definitely a lie. Maybe this is what bchad does with the light girls - knock them out with choloroform, etc., weigh yourself while carrying the girl, then weigh yourself without carrying the girl.

I would like to nominate this as the post of the week. Thanks ohai, I just spilled my coffee…

Girls that blindly exclude guys due to height are foolish in my opinion. It is a naive screen. It’s like looking solely at P/E without considering any other factors, you’re going to hit some land mines. Growth, quality measures, etc. can justify a high P/E, just as a guy who brings other things to the table (funny, respect, fame, money, potential, really, realy ridiculously good looking (despite height issues)

BWYF - would you consider a fat girl?

It’s more of a sight thing, not a weight thing. A guy will ask if she’s fat and his friend will give him a judgement on that. Generally speaking, if a person’s waistline is close to the same size as their hip measurements then that would constitute overweight in most guys’ opinions.

Women focusing solely on kgs/lbs they weigh are going about it the wrong way.

Same is for girls. Height is a sight thing. No one go and ask a guy how much taller he is. Some guys with moderate height manage to look tall and that works.

This is first thing to filter out when you dont know the person. As there is more interaction, the perception changes.

I tried dating someone very similar to myself - she had a similar educational background and worked in sales and trading. Aside from the fact that she was quite attractive, I felt like my lifestyle with her was pretty hurried and on the go. There was never a dull moment with her, and I think that is where the problem was. I wasn’t used to that intensity level when really I just wanted to chill. It was sort of weird, because it made me wonder if other girls I’ve dated thought I was totally nuts.

There are pros and cons to each. With tall women, I like not having to bend down to kiss her. And BWYF’s comment about shower adventures with your honey rings true.

On the other hand, shorter women tend to be lighter, and you can pick them up and carry them and move them around more easily. There are plenty of advantages to that. There are also practicalities where sometimes it’s good to be tall (reaching things, easier to be seen in a crowd), and sometimes it’s good to be short (can move through a crowd faster, reach low things easier).

I’ve also learned to enjoy escalators with shorter women. She stands on the higher one, I’m on the next one down, and suddenly, things are all lined up better.

The one time I was with a woman about my height (6’2"), she was rather large. Pretty, and fun, but definitely large. But this woman really liked to be held down and restrained during intimate moments. I did my best to acommodate, but the problem was I was not quite strong enough to do it effectively. I could do it, but it would tire me out quickly. We are still friends today, but I am glad it was only a fling.

mate, that sounded a bit rapey…

No it didn’t.

I have this childhood friend. She was always like “im gonna marry a doctor and be a hot stay at home wife, go shopping everyday”. She is now engaged to some ugly mofo broke ass dude. she graduated from nyu and she is unemployed. Im not sure if she compromised or did not compromise.

Did she at least accomplish the hot part?

[tjcfa]

^ very much so. The dude is lucky to be with her.

Is it anywhere near the same though?

Most fat girls get there out of lifestyle choices and if they really desire have the option to get out of that rut.

I don’t think any guy below 5’9’’ made any choice to land in that bracket. It was just the card they were dealt. I’m with wash- it’s a naive screen for something beyond a person’s control

Agree, there is a term (“spinners”) for short girls for this reason. I do think that it sounds like bchad needs to hit the gym though, if he is loathe to pick up tall women (I kid, I kid).

@isilldur, while women can control their weight it is easier for men to make up for their height in other ways. How many times have you seen a hot woman with a guy because he is funny, smart, respected, takes care of himself, motivated, wealthy, etc? Now flip it: how many times do you see a really good looking guy with an overweight girl because she is funny? Smart? Motivated? Not very often. The only one that comes to mind as an immediate redeeming quality for men is wealth. So, we are as shallow as women (or more so).

You won’t see it coming. one minute you’ll be riding on an escalator and then next thing you know…

Why Women Aren’t Funny:

http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/01/hitchens200701

Be your gender what it may, you will certainly have heard the following from a female friend who is enumerating the charms of a new (male) squeeze: "He’s really quite cute, and he’s kind to my friends, and he knows all kinds of stuff, and he’s so funny … " (If you yourself are a guy, and you know the man in question, you will often have said to yourself, “Funny? He wouldn’t know a joke if it came served on a bed of lettuce with sauce béarnaise.”) However, there is something that you absolutely never hear from a male friend who is hymning his latest (female) love interest: “She’s a real honey, has a life of her own … [interlude for attributes that are none of your business] … and, man, does she ever make 'em laugh.”

Chad’s only 6’2"?? This whole time he’s been bragging about being so tall and getting everyone to assume he’s like 6’7" when he’s really only a couple inches above average. That would be like a 5’10" dude going on and on about being a midget.

[bchad]

I never suggested I was a giant. In fact, I’ve often said that I’m glad I’m not taller than I am, because my current height is inconvenient enough at times. My dad was 6’4", and I used to be upset that I didn’t get as tall as him, but now I’m pretty happy. 6’2" is tall enough to reap the advantages of being tall without being so tall that nothing fits me.

I still hit my head on low hanging things from time to time, especially in developing countries. Airplane seats and train seats and bus seats have me sitting in the fetal position half the time just to squeeze in.

I’m in the 6’3"- 6’4" range and I agree, being a bit shorter would be better. I literally cannot sneak anywhere. I walk into a room and everyone spots me immediately, sucks for trying to get in late to meetings and conferences. Probably doesn’t help that i’m usually the only black guy in the room at these things. I’m occasionaly walking down the street and get hit in the face by a cobweb / spiderweb between two trees or lamposts.

It also makes doing planks, leg raises, pike sit ups etc. much harder due to having longer legs.

But really, who am I kidding, being taller than average is awesome and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

[bchad]

As a guy there are definitely more advantages than disadvantages to being tall, but the disadvantages are still very real.
