That's pretty shallow actually...


Uh...aren't you the same with overweight women? 8O


Not really - all these silly "preference" things go out the window when you meet someone you "click" with...

Hm. I would generally agree-
I just thought I read you saying that you immediately "friend zone" such a person.

Hm.
Maybe there's some type of proportion? Like...women tend to be found with men between ______ and _______ inches taller than they are.

No. Not because I reject men shorter than me, but because I'VE NEVER MET ONE.

I dunno. Maybe. I spent a lot of my time around 'tough guys' - maybe they tend to be taller or something. :roll: :lol:

Although it's definitely not a deal maker/breaker either way.

Different geograhic areas count, too.
I dated a guy from CO who said the tallest guys here would be shorter than the shortest women there. :)

Apparently, they're all giants.

My superhero alter ego is ACTUALLY The Vegan Vigilante,
who stabs her enemies in the eye with her Carrot of Truth.

Yeah, I have way too much spare time...

To be precise, I would friend zone someone I wasn't physically attracted to - and there are many variables besides weight involved in that...

I preffer thin/curvy women, mostly because every time I meet an overweight woman I immediately think of my grandmother and BAM! to the friend zone they go.
