What's your definition of tall then smartass?


Maybe she wasn't being a smartass. A lot of people with autism have issues with estimating height and distances. It's called poor spatial awareness.

I am exactly the same. When I even bother to think about/notice height at all (which is rare) I think of people as either tall or short. Tall means they're, um, tall. Short means they're about my height or shorter. Medium means I'm not really sure.

I have long thick hair, thicker than a lot of women's hair.

A few times I've been surprised by the difference in height between me and a friend when I've seen a photo of us together or caught a glimpse of us both in a mirror. I really don't think much about height, although I've been more aware of it this past week or so because of threads on here.

My hair is very fine, which means it just looks straggly if it gets beyond shoulder length. Years back I went out with a guy who had gorgeous hair - very thick and long, and that kind of wavy that goes into ringlets.

She was being a smartass. If you knew of the history of some between some of the height discussions we had than you might understand.

It's ok though, it's not like I really value her opinion anyway. She is just another woman from the internet who I never will meet in real life . She does have a height that she considers short she just doesn't want to say it, and at this point if she does say it it is going to be my height probably just to try and piss me off. even though she lives in England and the average height of a man there is the same as my height. Too bad it won't bother me at all :wink:

Why don't you just say a height? Just make one up? It's not that hard.

What's short? 5'6? 5'10?

How tall are you?

Lost, you are crossing that line again. Any point that you could be making is losing its value.

what I think of as short is only relevant in the context of someone asking me out and me assessing whether or not I consider them to be tall enough. It's completely relative and will change from person to person. This is because I am female, and therefore fickle. Such is life.

Uprising is a whore. Yes, I'd accept a balding man, since I did already, lol.

I tend to be drawn towards guys that are bald.

Honestly???

In real life I can find many bald men attractive, but I find the concept of bald man or a photograph of a bald man unattractive. Which means I'm likely to be attracted in real world scenario but not an online dating scenario.

I know it's weird.

Not because he was bald or balding.
