Yep. He wasn't actually crazy, he just happened to tower over and scare the crap out of an eight year-old. I'm like that, except it's with everybody, and I'm not saying that to fish for compliments either. Tall is sexy, but it can easily be intimidating too.

Bullshit. You're like one of those women that goes around lamenting how being attractive is such a curse because it makes people think they're stuck-up, ignoring that being a tall male or attractive female automatically puts you way ahead of the curve in almost all aspects of life (except longevity/heart failure if you're too tall). You have no idea what pains us manlets must experience on a daily basis.

From what I can tell, I'm way more attractive when danced with. So, I do OK at dances now.

I don't usually go anywhere with it though since most of the girls that are attracted to me just want a one night stand or a very casual relationship. And, at this time, that's not what I'm looking for.

EDIT: Btw, I'm not advocating for going to dances to hit on people. A lot of people don't like that. A lot of people go there to have fun.

That's your excuse for still being a virgin and not having a gf? :biggrin:

I found I've been pretty successful with picking anyone up anywhere. The trick is confidence and some chloroform. On second thought, the confidence isn't actually necessary. :ninja:
