my girlfriend is tall

[linwood]

I remember those adds. The 100 mm cigarettes were advertized as extra long.
I'm sure we have some smokers here who could put a ruler to a ***. and let us know.

Anyone remember the Mars probe that failed 'cause someone got Imperial and International measurements mixed up?

Yes, they do make a cigarette 100 mm long.
It is the extra long smoke of any brand.

I do remember that mars probe lost because of the measurement mess up.

That was...bad, very bad.

 

[Circle_One]

Got it. But to be sure that I understand, you are saying that they do make cigarettes that are 100 millimeters long?

I don't smoke, and never have. I just remember the ditty that they sang in that commercial.

Yeah, you were right with that. Sorry TVOR, I didn't mean to make my last post seem so snarky! I meant to throw a smiley face in there. After re-reading it, I realized I came across incredibly rudely!

Height should never be a problem if you truely love each other. Ignore those people that gawk and make fun of you both. They'll only be jealous once they realize the love you have for one another.

Don't be silly, Circle. Who could be mad at you? With an avatar like that, I can assure you that you have plenty of leeway.

Besides - I've been a very naughty boy of late ...

Really? You Yanks REALLY don't know what a Centimetre is?? Wow! What about a millimeter?

The whole feet and inches system to stupid. The Yanks make all conversions so much harder, because back in the day they were too arrogant to change to SI units.

***! Why was a common slang term for a cigarette asterisked? It starts with an "f," ends with a "g," -- you can guess the vowel.
Take that, censorship filter!

Its not their fault they are one of only 3 countries on this planet that havent come across to the metric system.

In the U.S., it's a derogatory term for homosexuals.

 

[Luke]

Also..not to question your perception..But could you be "imagining" people are staring at you?Because you are concerned about the difference in height or what other people think?Or if you know they are(staring)..why are you assuming thats the reason?

when i go to lunch room b y myselve, nobody staring at me. when Maya iis with me averybody is staring.

I'm also kinda curious as to what she thinks.

Does she care she's going out with a guy who's shorter than her, Luke?
Is she bothered by other people looking or what her friends think?
Does she know that you are bothered by it?

when people lookiing dont bother her. she tell me not t o worry but i am the person who is to short.

When I first read your post, I actually laughed out loud at the word filter censoring it.

Oh, we've come across it. We're just to lazy to adopt it.

 

[Nepenthe]

Oh, we use it in all scientific applications and any science grad' in the U.S. has to use it exclusively. It's just the banal day to day stuff that Americans use Imperial vs. Metric. We're not the only ones btw- in England for example most road signs have km and miles and other combos 'tween imperial and metric.

I'm all for using the duodecimal system instead of either of the above since they are the smallest units divisible by 2, 3 and 4. :sarcastic

I'm 5'7" and I've dated girls who were taller than me. Really, I think it has to do with your perception of the situation.

Here's my take on it: Girls in general, will always want a man who is taller than them for a variety of reasons and attraction purposes, thus height is generally a big deal when it comes to women picking out a man (generally speaking of course). Now what does that say about you attraction wise, if women take the height factor and chuck it out the window? Hot stuff, baby.

Is it a tad conceded way to look at it? Maybe. Does it work like a charm? Definitely.

Duodecimal system? I think I hurt my frontal lobe just thinking about that one.

Are you telling me that there is something I'm even less familiar with than the metric system?

Oy vey!

Maybe there are people who stare at her when you arent around because they think she is pretty?IOW how do you know the reason people stare?How do you know they DONT stare at her when you arent even around?

And why do you say you are "too short"?Too short for what?Too short to be taller than some people?

So you're saying size does matter?

Will anyone who knows the metric system help my dumb butt and tell me in feet and inches how tall his girlfriend is for one..And what their height differnece is ..So I can get an idea..

It is possible if she is REALLY tall they could be noticing her.Rather than noticing them as a couple because of the difference..

I will admit ..I will do a "double take" if I see a woman who is REALLY tall..Or what I mean is I notice it..And she doesnt have to be with a man that is shorter.If she is that tall its almost a given that she may be with a man that is shorter.

REALLY tall women do stand out in the crowd.

Love

Tall girls are awesome. One of my friends (short) is going out with the guitarist from one of my older band (she is very tall), and they are in a bit of a similar situation, except that he isn't short at all, she's just really really freakishly tall.

Sooo...I guess you're not alone?

Thats what Im trying to figure out..How tall is this woman?If he is anywhere around the average height for a man..but she is way above average for a woman..they could be looking at HER is what Im saying..Not staring at them because of the heigth difference..They may stare at her all the time..and he is just a witness to that when he is with her rather than they are starign at THEM together.

Based on his height (approximately 5'5") and the fact that he comes up to about her shoulder, I'd say she is probably close to 6' tall.

I believe that that height would put her in the top 3% of females in the world.

It would also put him right in the old "wheelhouse" during a slow dance.
