OBTW, I don't have a dog in this fight, I'm within your acceptable height range, though I have no control over that either.
Great... then you are tall enough to successfully get off of your high horse.

There isn't any difference in preferring a woman with a certain physique, eye color, etc. Like one poster stated, most men will not date an obese woman.

And before you say they can control it, I know two women who are obese because of a verified medical issue.
Or what about hair... some women have genetic issues that makes them bald. Will you date a bald obese woman???

Please say yes or you will be considered shadow.

I've heard men say they only like busty blondes or thick chocolate girls. What about the girls wasn't born that way?

No, I was saying I love a good stiletto and at no point do I want to be bending down to kiss a man or staring him in the eye. I like looking UP into his eyes.

I know you aren't that dense.. you're able to read between the lines. Right?

I don't agree with you, but I'm not looking to debate.

It's not so much of what they say, I just get tired of being stopped.
I don't always feel like talking and I don't feel like I should have to.
My sisters and cousins agree and I feel as if other women probably feel the same way, but if i'm wrong tell me.

I don't appreciate a guy trying to "get to know me" all the time because:
  • I'm married
  • it's uncomfortable
  • I don't take compliments well
  • I don't always feel like talking
  • the majority of guys (in my generation mid 20s) probably just want sex.
  • it wastes my time.
  • I feel bad for turning them down
  • sometimes I have my children with me
  • some guys get offended
I could go on...

Bad breath is at the very top of the list...

then somewhere, in no special order:

-Body Odor
-Too much cologne
-Slang/improper English
-Bad teeth (either obvious missing front teeth, or badly stained teeth, etc)
-Sagging pants
-Wife beaters (badly named, i know...but you know the type of undershirt i'm referring to ).

Poor hygiene - I've dated guys that didn't wear cologne (although a good cologne, applied sparingly, is a plus), but they also didn't smell llike B.O. Bad breath, dirty and overgrown fingernails, stained clothes, come on, those are easy to fix. Make the effort.

Bad attitudes have to be the worst. If you're a complete a-hole, I don't care what else you've got going for you.
