Short Girl Rant
I’ve blogged about this before, but it deserves a second go-round. Let me know how my videos are doing.
Tags: Dating, short girls4 hours later: So I did that video just before going out. While Charmaine did get checked out a lot, only one guy approached us. Some excerpts from the great mind of Andrew:
-You are a tigress.
- I am about to become a grandfather (repeated 5 times)
- (To Charmaine) You could be in Bollywood
- Do you have a tiger at home?
- (To me, after repeating my name 7 times) So, Dale….(then later) So Daryl…
- Do you like fashion? I have some bathing suite and lingerie that I need to unload. Maybe you could just try some on.

you are so cute. why are you single again? oh yeah, singlegirl says girls hate being asked that, it makes y’all feel defensive rather than complimented. i still don’t understand that. i like girls who are a little bit tall (5-foot-7 i think would be my ideal height) as a guy who is a little bit tall myself (5′-11″). shorts girls — i don’t want to say anything bad against the shorties but they are not so much for me.

I’m single because I have a massive boil on the back of my neck. I hide it well with my hair, but as soon as I make out with someone, they notice it and run.
I have a girlfriend who is 6′ tall…and I find the same thing happens when I’m out with her, I get ignored. I think it’s a whole novelty thing.

I Still Hate Tall Women. Well, I had never before. But I do now, since you hate me for my height deficiency. What’s even more laudable are Tall Women with Boils. Hate ‘em.

I’m only 5′8″, but a couple of years ago I dated a girl who was 5′10″ for about 4 months…
It always felt a little awkward…
I prefer to stay in the 5′0 to 5′6″ range…
And I’ve noticed the whole ‘tall guy with short girl’ thing before and also find it annoying… although maybe they are just trying to make it so that one day every guy will be 5′9″ and every girl will be 5′4″ (average heights in the developed world)… which means I guess I should concentrate on the 5′5″ girls…

PS- you all should have seen Non-Awesomeness Charmaine trying to play pool. She had to use that long stick thingy every time because her arms are too short.
March 27th, 2009 at 9:52 am
Randy, that’s putting way too much thought into it.
March 27th, 2009 at 11:57 am
That sucks! Is she super peppy or something? (I mean, does she give off a certain vibe?) How are you supposed to meet anyone when they all act like that?!
March 27th, 2009 at 12:44 pm
She hangs out with me, so she is really cool.
March 27th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Well I just figured THAT went without saying!! ;))

I’m going to start a Short Women Rock blog. And a Short Women who Rock and the Men who Love Them blog. And, by the way, who won the first game of pool? That’s right. I will also be joining a short women support group. Facilitated by Tall Hot Men. None of whom will call me tigress. Unless he’s very tall and very handsome. Then it’s OK.

I wonder if “tigress” is a polite way of calling someone a “cougar”
March 27th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
Okay, you really owe us pictures now, after that description of her.
March 27th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
“Tigress” is a nice way of telling someone that they look “exotic,” which is a nice way of telling someone they have brown skin.
“Hey baby, your skin doesn’t look like my skin” doesn’t work, but “exotic” and “tigress” are somehow okay.
March 27th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
If she’d let me, I’d do it. But I don’t want to exploit my friends that way. And for the record, I was the one called tigress.
March 27th, 2009 at 3:35 pm
What? You missed him blurting out tigress, followed with a high five? To which I akwardly smiled at for fear of touching his hand. I felt, for a second, like I was in an Ali G movie. If he didn’t just look like he sneaked out from the dumpster out back, it could have been a moment.
March 27th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Hm, in that case, “tigress” could be a nice way of saying that he’s afraid you might be able to kick his ass.
March 27th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
I think Charmaine like him. And I could have kicked his ass.

Being only 5′6″ myself, I think I would feel weird with a significantly taller girl. So, bring on the shorites!
March 27th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
As a tall girl, I always got some sort of attention, but I never really liked it. Now I look normal as my boyfriend is a good 9 inches taller than me. I always used to complain that all the tall guys went with the short girls and that left nothing for me. Now I have the super tall girls (over 6 foot) telling me the same thing. I just laugh.
March 27th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
@Ranger- thanks for taking them. How tall would you go?
@Janice- 9 inches? I have other questions about his physical largeness. I’ll message you privately about those.
March 28th, 2009 at 8:35 am
I might go a couple inches taller but I just don’t want to have to strain my neck to look her in the eyes, especially if she’s wearing high heels :).
March 30th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
this needs some kind background music … something with a bit of a disco porn flavour to it.
March 30th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Thanks O’dog. That’s exactly what I was going for.

I thought about this blog today, because I saw a woman who was taller than me this morning. @ 6′2″, I’m not used to women taller than me. I was in the grocery store, and walked past her. It was a Black woman, had to be over 40 because she had slightly graying hair, and she had to be @ least a couple of inches taller than me. And she was wearing sandals! I tried not to stare, and thought briefly about making some little comment to her (like, “wow, you’re tall”), but decided against it.
It made me think about whether I’d feel comfortable dating a woman who was taller than me? I’m not sure if that would be a deal-breaker. I think that what would make it feel weird to me is precisely because it’s so unusual. If I were a short guy, and grew up always being short, I might be used to it. But I’ve just never had to deal with that before. I’ve been with a couple of women who were eye-to-eye with me when they wore heels, but never someone naturally that tall.
BTW in regards to video blogs, you should try do another one like that “speed-dating” video. That was hilarious!

I keep forgetting you’re tall. Hi JR.
July 23rd, 2010 at 9:52 pm
Oh stop that.
July 23rd, 2010 at 10:07 pm
6′2″, black, employed, likes my stories…c’mon
