Do you have a height preference?
It is often said that men are visual creatures, but a lot of women want their man to be visually appealing, especially when it comes to height. Sometimes a guy who is “height challenged” will get overlooked for a guy who is taller.
Would you have a problem dating someone who is significantly taller or shorter than you?
Why does it become such an issue when it comes to physical attraction?
Is it silly to have a height preference or does it rank up there with the other shallow reasons we use not to give someone a chance?

@SlimNU ~ you’ve just convinced me. The # I was going to play for Cash 4 this evening is 1278…WOW. I’m going to have to play it straight/box though cuz I’m scared to play it straight (lol). My one up one one down was going to be 1862.

Purp – Sometimes I feel her presence (said slow and deep)…lol
Yeah, she was beating up on somebody that mentioned making a decent $60K. She said that was nothing to be all happy about.

I thought she said you must make a minimum of 60K to be considered for a date.

This 831/127 stuff must be a Georgia thang. Huh?
Into the Light – I guess you wil have to show us around MARIETTA, god knows our daughter won’t. She lives in a gated place, with marble & columns inside her apartment. Real ritzy. Over her head. Visited a couple of times, but never went too far beyond that. I did, however, like that Dekalb County farmer’s market, though.

She said a lot and one was she wouldn’t get out of the bed in the morning for a 60k salary. Kym tore down that money range and lit a fire under her that could be seen from space.

Reio – The Dekalb Farmers market is WAY on the other side of town from Marietta! How is it she won’t take you around her neighborhood, which should be nice by the way, but will take you all the way to Decatur?

We are last in almost everything, and it’s our own fault. Oh well, at least ATL is not far to go for better attractions.

Cash 3 sounds like the lottery. It is rumored that Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee, & Florida lobbyists have been bribing our lawmakerk to keep a state lottery off the ballot. Seems to be working.

Into the Light – Prefer Burger King, but if you’re buying… By the way, I liked the aquarium, but I felt that the exhibits were too close together. If you wanted to stay at one longer, you felt the urge to move on cause the people at the one next to it, were pushing you on.The 3D movie was the best part, I thought.

Reio, I’ve been to the aquarium several times, and to be honest, am fairly underwhelmed. Although, our company party was there and it was just our group with no other visitors. That was kinda nice.
And Burger King it is…Although if you really want a burger, I probably need to take you to The Vortex.

Kym should be charged with First Degree Assualt because that was not even a fight. Her and SC sparred, then SC gave her a Mayweather combo.

@Reio ~ she didn’t take you anywhere…you took her. You laugh, but your enabling her is only going to hurt her in the long run. If you want to continue the path you’re on, no sense in complaining about it. You doing this to yourself. Why complain because you keep stabbing yourself with that knife in your right hand???
