Height Matters When You're Dating

Height matters! It really does. No matter how cute a guy is if he is only up to my eyebrows..there is not a chance that my cousin will consider him for a "second date". We are all tall women in our family. So you can just imagine how much teasing and ribbing a family member has to endure if she brings home a date that is 5'6 and below....yup! We are that tall. Some would say it doesn't matter...But to us its a factor. I mean for my cousin it diminishes their masculinity in some weird way. Or sometimes we feel like a freak ourselves you know. I mean they would like look at us as if we have legs that go on for eternity or simply look at our necks longer than usual or at our arms..whereas I on the other hand, I definitely do not find that cute in anyway. So, one day I told my cousin who has this bad habit of making me go on dates..to whoever she sees or at least thinks will be compatible with me...I said I wouldn't hesitate to break his bones if I had to...yeah...I was in a sour mood....my food wasn't tops and it just irks me when a guy is like a girl out on a first date...I said.."Hey, listen...(in my most calm voice that I could muster amidst gritted teeth..I'm really tired...and not happy with my food...so if you don't stop looking at me..I will not hesitate to "fork" your eyes...Okay roughly I meant gouge his eyes!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!! The guy turned pale and behaved himself...Again, my bad. I can't help it. My hand could easily grapple his throat..and this guy even accused me of playing "hard to get". Trust my dry, wry sense of humor to step in along with my ready rebuttal..."So what am I then a ball????" I am in no way that! After that, I swore off dating anyone my cousin recommended!!! Ugh!! It was sheer agony!!! His hands were smaller than mine..If I walked he had to walk faster to catch up, and if I stood really straight I would completely tower over him. So totally not right.....hahahahhaha.

One of my male friends was very good looking...but he kind of lacked the height. So I thought we were cool just by being friends...we were up until such time he thought we should "take it up a notch" and try being in a relationship. No offense meant, I knew most of my girl friends had a big crush on him..and I probably was like sore thumb sticking out for not liking him beyond the level of friendship which probably annoyed him endlessly..you always want what you couldn't have...just like that pint of ice cream I've always wanted to have....the guy was nice and really such a sweetheart....but I have my rules...and my rules are no guys below 5'8. Nope nope nope!!!!!! At the back of my head I was always terrified...ok I've had dreams..that I would end up with a short guy....I would even wake up screaming!!!! Nooooooooooooooo like a blood curdling scream of a banshee in the dead of the night. I have nothing against short men. I wouldn't mind having them as friends....but for me they're simply not boyfriend material..Not in my book at least.

So if a short guy starts to court me..I would immediately play the "friend card". That way I wouldn't have to use the line "Its not you, its me". Very cliche. I know. Its like having an anesthesia..You know without it, it will hurt..So a pinch will do.

Looks Are Not What It Seems

There, there...I just posted an image of a female nerd. There are some women who are really nice nerds you know. HOWEVER, there some those who use this as a disguise to mask their true identity...now how did I come up with that??? Well, I happen to know one! Actually TWO!! HAHAHAHA!! One was a classmate of mine back in highschool..She wore these outrageously long uniforms and she had buck teeth and a pair of eyeglasses that just won't quit! I always thought she would be working in a lab or in some office where your only form of interaction with the outside world is through email or ym. NOT!!!!! My geeky classmate has thrown her red eyeglasses in favor of "colored" contact lenses...why it had to be colored...I am still dumbfounded...and her clothes revealed a lot more skin...too much skin...and too much of a vision that leaves very little to the imagination...if it was cholesterol you would be probably be having a heart attack by now!! Ok so let's go back in time....I always thought it was cool to have a nerdy friend...but when we had a senior's ball it just opened my eyes that my goody two shoes friend...was suffering from "raging hormones"!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh yes! You see, I fortunately (although I must admit he was ok to look at but! For the love of life!!! Do not make him SPEAK!) had a very good looking escort to the ball. Who in his own way kind of hated me coz I had this let's get this over and done with attitude...c'mon who the hell would want to dance in an itchy terno anyways???? My bad. So my ordeal was finally over...and as we waited for my ride..I saw nerdy girl..approach my escort..and coyly...REALLY!!! asked him in this girly voice which made my hair stand on its end and my skin have goose bumps.....she goes "sooo are you going somewhere pa??" as she moved in closer the way a cat would rub itself next to a tree!!! Oh by the way, she even smiled..brimming retainer clad teeth and eyes batting....like betty boop..ICK!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe, we girls are kind of territorial..or maybe because I'm a dog lover so I kind of developed the habit....so I said...As a matter of fact..YES. He is my responsibility so this weird wacko is coming with us..so we can make sure he won't give his mom any problems with the girls! MWAHAHAHAHAHAH!! I love being a killjoy!! Doused with icy cold water!!!! You think nerdy girl gave up? HELL NO! When she saw him again in my house...she took the opportunity to sit ON the armchair of my single sofa coz the guy was sitting there already. It was such a creepy sight!!!! Terrified that I will never hear the end of the lecture from my mom if she sees her in such a position...again I told her...Lots of chairs here dear...and let's not declare the obvious shall we? You having the hots for my dance partner is not going to sit well with Hitler's alter ego otherwise known as MY MOM. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! So nerdy girl became beet red and scuttled to the nearby chair.

See the point is..women like her..look goody two shoes...like this officemate..she would be really sweet...and slowly worm her way into a guy's life...forget the fact that she's married..but she would subtly flirt...turning on that sweet charm of hers. Well, I am not the only one who saw this happen and unfold before our eyes...there were several eyes...and include a nose please...coz her husband was on to her! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Serves her right!! I mean hellooooo!!! Why get married if you need some sense of affirmation that you can still flirt with others right??? Better be single and do as you please...well here's a juicy tidbit...they all got a lashing out from her husband who came home from abroad!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! If I were the husband, I would REPLACE her with a gorgeous lass from the province...make her green with envy!!! Let her simmer in her own tub of lard...after all she could certainly put a great deal of her body cholesterol to good use!!!! Like I said ladies, looks are not what it seems...so fine tune your noses!!! And look at your mates straight in the eye...if they flinch or they ramble on endlessly or they have this faraway look....better give them a good kick to bring them back to reality.HAHAHAHAHA
