Pictures of ourselves

You certainly are full of facts, aren't you?

It must be all that reading that she does. :p

He, he! Yes, I do read alot and I also spend a lot of time on the internet doing research on a wide variety of subjects. It's a sort of hobby I have.

My best friend will be in Nepal for the next two years. She's doing volunteer work for JVI and the average height of the guys there is 5'5 I think. The women are around 5'1, 5'2. I was teasing her that she might find a future husband in Nepal but I totally forgot the height thing...

Who knows, maybe your friend will find a husband there. Just because the men's average height is 5'5'' that doesn't mean there aren't taller men. It's just like in Japan, men's average height is 5'7'' but you see a lot of singers, actors and athletes who are 5'10'' and 5'11''. I think cultural differences will be a much bigger impediment than her height.

I don't think her height is what intimades men though. She swears it is, but she is also very outspoken and loves to debate. She can go overboard sometimes and make people think she is trying to convert them to her point of view. But she really just likes to discuss topics with people that think differently then her. Most guys after talking to her will either think she's really smart and an interesting conversationalist, or get intimidated by how she talks to them.

I know what you mean. I have a great deal of self control but sometimes, when I'm talking to people, I let things get a bit out of hand (I have a bit of a temper). Especially when we're talking about religion and people look at me like I'm a monster just because I'm an atheist! It's seems impossible for them to understand me. I at least understand why they're believers!

it's a metaphor. The desire to have something you don't have. However, we already heard LSI talking about how she wouldn't want to be taller than him, so there's obviously some reasoning that being 6' tall isn't desireable.

There's nothing wrong with desiring something you don't have. It's part of the human condition. Some people want to be thinner, others want to be rich, it's that wanting that makes us move forward.
Ladysilverice doesn't want to be taller than her boyfriend which means being 6' tall wouldn't be a good thing but it wouldn't be a good thing to her and not necessarily to other women. I agree that in a general way being a 6' tall woman has it's disadvantages in our society. However being 5'10'' doesn't seem undesirable to me. Even if some women think being that tall intimidates men the truth is intimidation has a lot more to do with attitude (like Zagatto said). Besides, why are women so concerned about intimidating men? A man that's intimidate by such a futile thing as height is a weak man to me.

True. That way our face is already right in their breasts.

It already is!

I'm reffering to the fact that you men don't need to be shorter than women to have your faces right in their breasts. That's where your faces are, constantly, you see nothing else! :p
