I'm pretty sure most women will be more concerned with your grammar and punctuation than the fact that you're 5'5". :)

HWP (I had to Google it)? Seriously? Do they think they're being clever? Tactful? Wow.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Hopefully I can do some good.

Blech. I think the closest thing I've seen is a woman saying she likes really skinny guys.

Sounds like a cool guy! And heels (of all sizes) are sexy. The click-clack sounds always gets me.

Haha, I was actually going to make a Portland joke when I made that post but bit my tongue.

Oh, trust me, I'm VERY familiar with rejection on OKC. My current response rate is somewhere in the low single digit percentage :p

You'd be surprised how much beards come up in profiles in my area.

Well, yeah, but if I weren't overthinking it, it wouldn't be very fun to talk about, would it?

Fair enough. Excellent advice. It's certainly silly to think someone wrote me off because of one single factor.

Yeah, I'm definitely not going to lie about my height. The thing about insoles was just a joke.

Yeesh, it sucks that you get mean comments like that. I tend to think of large height as being up there with good looks as a socially desired trait, so I guess I overlook the insecurities the other end of the scale can cause. I do remember stories of friends from college talking about having early growth spurts in…

I've read about shorter guys not "letting" their girlfriends wear high heels, and I've never, never understood that. It's just crazy. The only thing I would object to a significant other wearing is Romney/Paul 2012 paraphernalia. And even then I'd try to be very polite about it.

Oh, man, do guys really write "no fatties" on their profiles? Without irony?

Has anyone ever volunteered for RAINN? I honestly don't know too much about the organization other than what I've read on its website and Wikipedia. I want to start volunteering my time, and it seems like a worthy cause.

Can we talk about height?

This is a little tangential, but I've noticed that I tend to match highly with artist types. Which tends to reinforce the whole job interviewing vibe that I get from online dating, but in a slightly different way. This is a broad and probably unfair generalization, but I notice that artist profiles tend to really want…

I really wonder sometimes how introverts meet each other.

Thanks for the tips! I really should edit my profile down to be more succinct. The only problem is when I sit down to do that, it feels too much like I'm editing my resume for a job. And I guess it just feels wrong that I have to socially engineer what I say about myself for such things.

Yeah, so I think I'm done with OKCupid.
