Totally. I have had guys I didn’t know super well or wasn’t particularly into do shit like that and I hate it; it’s very intimate. But if I am into the guy, it’s really nice.

Agreed. Totally cool if that is not a thing you like. But some people are into it, and it’s sooo harmless. That is a “between you and your partner” kinda thing.

I mean from a person to person thing that makes total sense; people should respect their partner’s wishes. But it also seems like a weird thing to critique in other people’s relationships.

I feel like this [Helen Mirren thing] seems kind of...out there? Anyone else?

Boom.

DC isn’t an option for state....

Yeah, I feel you...but this site seems douchey.

But from a totally shallow perspective, that’s a lot easier to look for/avoid if someone wants to only date skinny people on OKC/Tinder/etc. Classism aside, I do think this is mostly about education levels/professionalism .

But people keep saying “I have dated some really nice awesome short guys! I have also encountered guys w these specific hangups who were really mean” and you keep responding that those women are being shallow and awful.

If I were going to make a gross generalization, it would go in the opposite direction: Short guys who are happy and secure enough to date tall women are not only kinder and better partners,

So it’s not that their height is making them angry per se, it’s the constant rejection from women who are ingrained to believe that taller=better that is.

Heh, I have dated guys ranging from 5’3 to 6’5...

Besides, short guys have every right to be furious that they’re not being selected because of their height, *especially* when women then go on to call men superficial about their own taste.

“It’s a body-positive teen dance movie set in a retirement home,” Mills says of the plot. “It’s about a 16-year-old girl who dreams of being a cheerleader, but she is constantly bullied for being fat. She learns that she doesn’t have to change anything about herself to be awesome because she already is.”

I’m 5’, so when someone is only 4” taller than me, it seems like nothing. Last guy I dated was 6’5...my perception is skewed

Ohhh, I’d been assuming the poster was a woman...

4” doesn’t seem like a huge difference, I’d imagine it’d be similar to dating a girl who’s 5’2”, no?

That is basically how I feel. I offer, and the offer is genuine — I always come prepared to pay. But, if I’m into a guy, and it’s on early dates (later I just want things to be equal), it still just feels nice. In those cases though I’ll usually insist on at least getting him like, a post-meal drink.

I mean, if you’re covering rent, it’s pretty fair that he cover fun stuff.

I used to put up a fight, but at the moment, I am a grad student w barely any income; I still always come prepared to pay, but if a guy has a job and I don’t, I’m pretty cool w him paying.
