This morning I found myself in a bit of a conversation with a gentleman from New London. It's become difficult for me to conjure up any real enthusiasm for talking to new fellas, but I was trying to stay open-minded with this guy Elborito. He said some silly things, asked if I'd ever played volleyball and said we had a lot in common (but wouldn't specify what when I asked). Anyway, I was pretending some level of interest until he jumped the shark with the following comment.
"I actually like tall women."
Wow. Great. First of all, I'll give it to him that he, like many other guys, doesn't understand how wording can change the connotation of a phrase. I will assume that he was just trying to reassure me that my height (5 feet, 11 inches) was attractive. But how does it actually sound? Bad. It sounds bad. He, unlike other people apparently, likes women who are tall. News flash, Elborito: I think most people* (both women and men) admire and aspire to women of stature. Thanks for trying to single yourself out as someone who could actually appreciate my attributes.
*Shorter guys generally stick to smaller girls because they are taught to feel manly from a young age. However, shorter guys usually have twisted egos and identity issues. I decided to leave them out of this.
