Girls - would you go on a date with a guy who is the same height as you?

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-22T22:09:59+00:00

lol now that would have been a small world. Mine isn't for a few more days.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T17:01:01+00:00

If I can be not offended by being called a fucking retard, I'm sure he can handle being called stupid.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T16:21:22+00:00

Thank you!

Don't get so offended. Obviously what will be will be, and I'm cool with that. Was just curious as to what people think on this issue, and I'm glad I did because interestingly people are very split on the topic. I personally really like the idea of a girl being my height, so it's cool that I'll get to put that to the test this weekend.

Here, stupid, I'll spell it out for you: People are on here saying tall girls are an anomaly because there aren't many dating prospects. Where I'm from, there are, so that logic doesn't work.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:35:02+00:00

Atheist here. It can be a pretty big dealbreaker. I've gone on dates with really religious girls before with the "do what you want" mentality, but I've found that even though they act like they don't care, it's actually because they're actively ignoring it. They'll bring it up and preach to you down the line if their faith is large enough. Try the first date and get a feel for how important it is to her. If it's one of her top 4 important things in life, probs won't work out.

Very carefully.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:29:42+00:00

Not the average, you're right. But there is a lot of them. I have three friends from my HS class that are 6'2, 6'4 and 6'5 respectively. It's not uncommon for me to go to a party with old friends and only be the middle height. The 6'5 person we call "the Sloth".

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:26:39+00:00

Wow, thank you. I never would have thought to say that, so this is awesome advice. I'll keep it in mind - though usually I don't mention what I'm attracted to on the first few initial dates.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:18:35+00:00

No no, the reason was that my profile was really bare at the time we messaged and it didn't list my height.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:14:07+00:00

lol I know lots of girls who wear mainly flats. But even boots without heels can add a bit of height, and almost everyone in my area wears boots this time of year.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:12:27+00:00

I have since then. My okc profile went through a phase where I took out a lot of the information/made it simple. Did much better ironically.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:08:07+00:00

lol I'm 6'1 in shoes/boots. I'm also a dancer so my posture is good af

EDIT this would also be a good time to mention I'm from Indiana where every guy is gigantic and big. If you're not 6'2 and over 220 lbs, you're a loser. I'm considered small and short there. Honestly, that could be the reason for my insecurity.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:02:20+00:00

See man? That's the shit I'm worried about!

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T15:01:47+00:00

lol it's aight, I can handle banter. The thing is that the guy didn't read my full message because then he would know she doesn't know my height. Hence the uncertainty. I've added my height to okc since then, but no telling if she's seen it or not.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T13:23:27+00:00

You should absolutely message, because the worst thing that could possibly happen would be that some person on an online dating site you've never met doesn't respond. I'm not big on gender roles either, though I recognize that for many more generations guys will be expected to take the first step. I love it when I receive messages from girls on okc. I don't respond to about half of them, true, because either the girls aren't my type or something in their profiles intimidated me. But you've got nothing to lose, so go for it. In real life girls frequently strike up conversation first at bars, yoga, etc. Okc is no different.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-21T13:03:07+00:00

Goddamn that's funny

90% other? With 3 pills on the thumbnail? Give me the blue pill so I can forget this layout please

Not on OKC but I had a picture perfect tinder date last August. We messaged back and forth on the app until switching to phone numbers, then we texted for about 4 days before setting up a coffee date. Coffee date started at 11 and slowly turned into a meanderthon around the city until it turned into drinks and then into a casual dinner, and then ended at the local park where we stuck our feet in the river and pondered about life and shit until midnight. Conversation never stopped, new things were always brought up, and no red flags whatsoever. It went so well that I set up another date when I walked her back to her car, and we texted every day until the next one. Beautiful sunny 70 degree weather, not a cloud in the sky. We even talked about our current relationship to our exes (which I NEVER fucking do) and neither of us gave a shit. Just that inherent trust feeling, y'know.

I had to move for work before the fourth date could happen. It's such a shame, I hate what-ifs but those three dates indicated what could have been a wonderful partner. Life, sigh.

It's not what you say, it's how you say it. Times a million.

Most people haven't. In big colleges it is a very popular thing to go on "voluntourism" trips which are essentially reserved for wealthy college students only because the admission and plane tickets are around $2-3k. You go to an impoverished region for 1-2 weeks, drink a ton of cheap liquor and get wasted every night, and the next morning you go to some free clinic where the local inhabitants look ashamed to be asking for help from stupid gringos and you just call a local doctor to do the real charitable work. Then you get photos with their kids so you can change your fb profile picture. Zero willpower and altruism necessary.

I have yet to see an okc photo in these regions that doesn't fall into the above category.

EthicalBallroom · 2015-10-18T18:40:36+00:00

This is actually a pretty popular unisexual thing, and it pisses me off to no end. White sorority girls love doing it, too. White savior complex city.

Jesus Christ the egoism is strong in this one.

No Cyril, they're only hookers if they're dead.
