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?

“Leggs: I’m acting like some of those folks over in the Middle East, I’ll throw a rock and run.”
Yes. When I read you I thought something along those lines.

Questions I would ask:
Did you really sleep with that many people on the blog (I would ask a man and a woman that)
Would you talk to your daughter like that?
Do you really think that anyone here thinks that you are abstinent?
Do you really think that you have everyone fooled with your new alias?
LOL

Leggs – not complaining. That’s why I say “Bless her heart”. It’s a running joke with mom & me. She means well, and can afford to do better. She and I have had several conversations along those lines, with minimal improvement. But we know her heart and expect the light to come on at some point. I will say this, though, If something were to happen to mom & me, I know that her younger siblings would be well looked after by her. She has us to lean on, so she takes advantage of this. Mom & I both have discussed this.

@ITL ~ I was at Little 5 Pts buying some Toms for my crumbsnatcher. We walked over to the Vortex because the aroma was making my stomach growl…Couldn’t get in because of my tall behind crumbsnatcher. You have to be 18. That’s when we drove to Virginia Highlands and found Yeah Burger. SCRUMPTIOUS….

ITL if it’s a girl her name will be Giulia Alisa if it’s a boy he will have my name which is my father’s name, which is his fathers name.
2nd sons always get the fathers name.

@kimmie ~ it’s similar to Five Guys/Farm Burger just much much better. The burger with swiss cheese and their bacon jam is delicious. Can’t wait to get back over there and get exactly that one!

Speaking of jam, there’s a vendor at the Marietta Square Farmer’s Market (Emily G’s) that sells homemade jams and jellies unlike any I’ve seen. She has everything from Red Zinfandel to Jalapeno Raspberry to my personal favorite: Tipsy Onion and Garlic. Mmmmmm, mmmmm, good.

Hmmmm, I’m thinking about this Keep it Real day. It could be really cool. I know the first question I’d ask. And the second.
1: Don’t you ever get tired of being so judgmental and rude (I’d ask a man and a woman this)
2. When you find out you’ve been wrong, will you ever apologize?

I actually don’t eat that much at one time but i will munch a little throughout the course of the day. My friends give me a hard time because I’m always that chick that has to take half of her food home to-go becAuse I can’t eat it all. Strangely enough, back in the day I used to be able to eat a whole All Star Special from Waffle house at one sitting. Grits, eggs, bacon, toast AND a huge ass waffle
