Dating the Female Version of Yourself

[whatsyourgovt]

As a kid before bed i would pray. My first wish was to be at least 6’2, make it to the NBA (often times i would settle on the MLB) and have a ferrari. Im sick of this humble bragging - being in the 6’2-6’4 range is awesome and we all know it.

[GoBigRed]

I’m 6’6 and agree that the 6’2 - 6’4 range would be ideal. Being any taller is an inconvenience (clothes, traveling, etc.). My wife is (only) 5’7, but I have never really been attracted to women taller than 5’9ish for some reason.

When I took Tai Chi classes, my instructor always talked used an example of a woman taking on a 6’2" guy and leaving him in pain by using the moves (sped up, of course).

One day I asked him “So, I’m 6’2”… do we guys have any chance at all?" He replied “Of course you do, with your arms, you can reach us before we can reach you.”

My favorite was the move he demonstrated just before Thanksgiving: “Full man pushing away turkey,” he called it…

Some reason the shortest men have the biggest trucks, it’s weird. They want the feeling of being big.

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.

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.

For some reason, I always thought Chad was at least 6’5". There were definitely posts on this board referring to his unusual height. He either forgot about them or didn’t bother to correct other posters.

mate, that sounded a bit rapey…

No it didn’t.

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).

Why Women Aren’t Funny:

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.”

I’ve always assume most of my inconveniences were weight related moreso than height related. I get most of my dress clothes tailored because of waist issues moreso than inseam issues. With dress shirts, it’s a combination of having a 56 or 58 inch chest and 41/42 inch arms that really cause problems. Traveling or going to movies/sports events I find the leg room is enough to work but the width of the seat is an issue.

I interviewed for a position at a hedge fund here in Minneapolis and during the interview the chair I was sitting in crashed right to the floor. They were extremely concerned about my well being, but the interview was over before I hit the ground.

The only real height related inconvencience I experience regularly is that in the United States, the standard doorway is 80 inches. I’m only 79 inches, but shoes or boots and a little bounce in the step and you’ll clip the top of a doorway at full speed. The doorway just takes a perfect divot and laughs at you.

Not to sound inconsiderate, but that is funny.

Not incosiderate at all. I had a boss a few years ago that was about my size. He went crashing to the floor during a conference call one day and it was really the highlight of my time on that team. Assuming no injuries, people falling off furniture/bikes/animals/etc is right up there with unintentional shots to the crotch on the spontaneous comedy charts.

^ u truly are twice the man. How much do you weigh??

[tjcfa]

I too thought bgac was some legendary giant. He is a measly 6’2. Disappointing

[bchad]

Where did everyone get the idea I was a giant? I’m tall, but I am not an abnormality.

[former_trader]

1. There were many posts mentioning your height and you never crushed the rumors.

2. You mention your height in every second post. I’m not even kidding.

Seriously. It’s like the equivalent of some dude with a 6.5" pen!s going on and on about how well hung he is.

Between 330 and 350 depending on how active I am at any given time. Probably closer to 330 right now as the weather has turned and I’m playing or coaching something a few nights a week.

Geniuinely curious

How big (weight/height) are the ladies you see? Do you feel your height/weight is a disadvantage?
