Yeah, for sure. If there's anything I've gained from this discussion, it's that it's silly to assume what someone is thinking or prefers. Everyone's just too different.

At that point, it's almost too ridiculous to be offensive. It just becomes pathetically hilarious. But that's easy for me to say.

I believe it.

Ah, of course. It's fun coming up with code words/phrases. How about, "Must be able to take a punch in the gut without flinching."

Haha, yeah, I know it's probably not my height most of the time. I'll keep plugging on, I guess. Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you!

Fair enough. Thanks for your honest response.

Please do. And if anyone figures it out, I recommend you immediately return the message :)

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…
