[RevolutionaryActs]

32. I am not!

I was just saying. :P

[JohnKleeb]

37. Oh please Kate

Anyone who flirts with me is definely a big time flirter, I couldnt even flirt before I met ya.

[RevolutionaryActs]

40. Oh piffle...

[JohnKleeb]

43. I am not lying to you

I couldn't flirt.

[Huckebein the Raven]

59. I have trouble with flirting too

[RandomKoolzip]

41. So now it's "*JUST* saying?!"

This is worse than getting a swirlie!

[RevolutionaryActs]

44. I just mean I wasn't trying to flirt, I was just stating that I love you

Would you like me flirt? Because I will. ;)

[JohnKleeb]

47. believe me koolzip she will flirt

Take it from someone who knows.

[RevolutionaryActs]

[JohnKleeb]

53. YOURE THE ONE ON THE WEST COAST MISSIE

But its ok, I am not complaining, youre the one who taught me how to flirt.

[RevolutionaryActs]

58. But... um yeah you're right.

:P

[JohnKleeb]

68. thank you

[RandomKoolzip]

55. AGAIN WITH THE "JUST!"

Why diminunize what we've shared together? Why belittle those nights we spent by the Seine, sipping Pinot Noir and laughing over a shared copy of the "New Yorker?" Those rainy days of tears and scotch? The late nights, twisted on Scotchguard and huffed antifreeze, robbing gas stations together?

Does it not mean anything to you anymore?!

Screw this, I'm gonna go watch "For the Boys" and have a good cry.

Alone.

[RevolutionaryActs]

56. No.. but honey! NO YOU CAN'T GO! I LOVE YOU!

I'll DIE without you! COME BACK!!!!!! :cry:

[RandomKoolzip]

62. No, dammit. I'm out of here like a tree.

You will feel the sting of my abcess....uh, I mean "ABSENCE." You'll get used to the vacuum I'll leave you in. It's cyclonic and picks up even pennies without clogging. Works on wet areas too!


And darn it, "Empty Nest" is on. I can't miss an episode, even in times of dire emotional stress like our recent painful break up.



*sniff*

[RevolutionaryActs]

66. *crumbles to floor* *sniffle* zippy left me.

[RandomKoolzip]

67. Oh, it's "Zippy" now, is it?

Oh, god......why am I always lashing out at those I love? Is it a)my addiction to Gold Bond Medicated Powder? b)My powerful ham-like odor? c)My midget ancestry?

IT'S ALL OF THE ABOVE AND I WANT MY MOMMY!


Life is pain.

[RandomKoolzip]

65. Oh, and by the way, I'm 6'1".

[RandomKoolzip]

34. Which results in creativity.

[jpgray]

126. I'm going to start keeping a tally of your mst3k references (nt)

[RandomKoolzip]

127. Right on.

Did you know there's a guy who posts in GD named Mark E. Smith, BTW?

[jpgray]

128. Yes. DU's not big enough for the both of us

What I'm saying is I'll have to change my avatar to Ron Mael now.

:silly:

I actually started a reply to one of those threads--something moronic like "great name!", probably--but I chickened out because it seemed so ridiculous while the tone of the thread was so deadly serious.

[RandomKoolzip]

129. If you go with Ron Mael, I'm doing Richard Marx.

Seriously.

[jpgray]

131. Certain peoples on DU would take you less seriously

But then, others would take you more seriously. :D

[njdemocrat106]

28. 5'10", 225 lbs.

Yeah, I'm quite chunky.

[RevolutionaryActs]

38. It doesn't matter, weight ain't nothing but a number.

:pals:

[JohnKleeb]

39. you and me both

I swear I dont look it tho.

[SupormomFreeAtLast]

49. 5'4"

Good things come in small packages.

[RevolutionaryActs]

51. Hey SupormomFreeAtLast, welcome to DU!

:hi: :toast:

[SupormomFreeAtLast]

60. Thanks.

Been around for a few years, but recently had to change my name.

[Mabus]

57. A very weird 5' 8"

I say a weird 5'8" because I have women who are much shorter than I am telling me that they are 5'8". I can see over them. They insist they are 5'8" but I know I am 5'8" because I go home and measure. Okay, I don't go home and measure because when I was growing up my family was very height-aware. All of my brothers are over 6' tall. The shortest is 6'2" and the tallest is 6'9" (almost 6'10") so you can believe they were measuring all the time.

The first "hurdle" for my younger brothers was to be taller than my sister (she's 5'7 1/4"). Then it was poor mom at 5'7 1/2" I was the last mark they had to pass. All the fricking time I was made to stand back to back with my brothers or get remeasured on the kitchen wall until the youngest brother passed me in height (that day occurred on Thanksgiving, 1979). Then it became some sick obsession (a "sick Cynthia thing" for all you "Lebowski" fans) between them and dad (6'1") and then just each other.

One of the longest enduring fights between my parents was the one over who was responsible for my brothers' height. My dad claimed it. He was the tallest of in his family and his mom remembered relatives she had who were almost 7 feet tall. My mom said it came from her side of the family and she pointed to her brother who was 6'2" and his sons (from 6'3" to 6'7"). They could go on for days at a time.

BTW, I can be up to 5' 8 5/8" if I stretch my neck but I prefer to slouch.

Anyway, I think a lot of people lie about their heights. Because I know there are an awful lot of women who are NOT 5'8" but claim to be.

Oh yeah. I'm 5'8". Did I mention that? :+

Whew. That's one less therapy session for me.

[RevolutionaryActs]

61. 6'9"?

[Mabus]

77. Almost 6'10"

I always tell people not to make fun of his height because he's the baby. Well, okay, but he is the youngest of my brothers. He was 9 when he passed me in height. I was 18, just four months shy of 19, when his pencil mark on the wall was ever so slightly higher than mine. He danced and danced. He was so happy. When I went home for Winter Break a month later he was a full inch taller than I was. He hit his growth spurt when he was 18, shot up five inches in two months. Then his growth slowed and he stopped at 6'9 15/16" by his measure, slightly over 6'9 3/4" by one of our other brothers. All I know is I need to redirect the shower head if he takes one before me.

Now he stoops slightly because he's been hit by ceiling fans so many times and doorways aren't always tall enough that he's almost always in defense mode.

64. 5'10, 180 lbs

:hi:

[MikeH]

69. 6'4"

It is a gruesome story how I came to be tall. I was once a little boy, and then I grew some.

There is a club for tall people, of which I am a member. The club has its web site at

http://www.tall.org/

and has chapters in a number of major cities. The minimum height requirements are 6'2" for men, and 5'10" for women.

[Samurai_Writer]

98. my parents met through that club....

My dad was 6'2" and my mom is 5'11". My dad's brother is 6'10". It was actually my uncle that my mom met and dated first. I keep thanking her to this day for picking the right brother in the end! (will not go into it, but let's just say, my uncle might have money, but he's a controlling, selfish jerk).

Everyone in my family is tall. My brother is 6'6". My sisters are 5'11", 6', and 6'1. I'm now the shortest at 5'10". My sons are 6'2" and 6". And it looks like my neice, who is 3 years old, is going to be quite tall (my brother's daughter, of course).

[AndyTiedye]

71. 5' 6"

[yvr girl]

72. 5' 5"

I was tall at one point in my life. I've been this height since I was 11 or 12. Mmmmm...that's about the time I tried smoking. I broke out in hives. I wonder if they're related.

[elshiva]

73. 5' 3"

[MrSlayer]

74. Six foot two.

I'm tall but not towering.

[KitchenWitch]

75. 5'15"

[Seabiscuit]

83. 3' 32"

[KitchenWitch]

85. LOL

I am 5'15" because we wimmin are not supposed to be over 6 feet tall! LOL

[Seabiscuit]

86. Oh. I'm 3' 32" because I never learned any numbers greater than 3.

[Locut0s]

76. 6'1-6'2

Don't know exactly.

[fleabert]

79. 5'8", I am convinced I would have been taller if I hadn't smoked at 14

mom is 5'10"
dad is 6'2"
grandpa is 6'8"

I'm kinda short for my family...

[ffm172]

80. 5'4 = 1.65 meters

and I like men who are not that much taller than I am. Easier to snuggle and reached to kiss :)

[VOX]

81. 6' 5" in my stocking feet.

When I put on shoes, I've got to be careful of low-hanging tree branches, door jambs, etc. :)

[donheld]

82. 5' 6"

that's the best i can do :bounce:

[TyeDye75]

84. 6'0...last time I checked

[Spider Jerusalem]

87. Six foot even, and only 140 pounds.

Damned genetic inheritance...heh. Don't seem to gain weight. Comes from my mother's side of the family...she's past 50 and still weighs around 130 or so with minimal exercise.

[tjwmason]

88. 6 feet

And I definitely don't have any boots which add 3 inches to my height.

[Maine-ah]

89. 4'11"

[Maestro]

90. 5'7"

Short for a male. Oh well. I have other redeeming qualities.

[SarahB]

91. 5'5"

Actually 5' 4&1/2", but I round it off. :D

[steve2470]

102. you looked taller than that

but I'm not complaining :-)

[SarahB]

106. It's....

my curves. It makes me a larger than life force on a computer screen. :D
Actually, the last man I was interested in was a whopping 6'5", but my ex is only 5'8" and I've dated anywhere from 5'5" on up. I tend to like tall, but like a lot of the physical stuff, it's a nonessential factor.

[tsakshaug]

92. 6'3"

[Magrittes Pipe]

93. Six-foot-three.

[Samurai_Writer]

94. 5'10... 6'2" if I wear my fave shoes!

Which, obviously, I don't get to wear that much (except for photo shoots).

I've been this height since I was 11 years old. Used to tower over everyone in my class for years. I was the second-tallest girl in my high school (there was one girl who was 6'2").

Seems a lot of younger women are taller these days... I see many who are my height or taller when I am out.

Peace,
Bella
