The woman who takes the blood at my doctor's office is 6'5". You can imagine it's weird for me to see a woman taller than I am--doesn't happen very often.
Six feet even. Here's a funny fact for you - both of my grandfathers were shorter than my grandmothers.

You're right. She could be an 8,9 or 10.

My parents are the same height and my paternal grandmother was an inch taller than my grandfather.

Funny topic! LOL

First, the guy was only 22. There are many guys in their 20s who lead normal lives that may have not gone out with women due to shyness. But that is extreme.

Back to the topic: Are you suggesting that women ought to dole out charity and pretend to be interested in creepy guys to save society from something? Doesn't make sense.

The guy was obviously a mental case. Unfortunately he killed six other people. I'm sad for the loss of the innocent victims.

Here is how you get over it: 262 million people were killed by governments from all around the world from 1900 to 1999. So that puts the six innocent peoples' deaths in perspective doesn't it? It does not excuse their loss. But my point is that we need to assess why we never are shocked by government killing people? Where is Cindy Sheehan to protest the wars in the middle east these days? Why are drones killing innocent Americans? Here is just one case in 2012 of 60 innocents killed by American drones

No, it doesn't. A woman cannot have a bmi like that and be a 7 unless she has bones made of lead.

They probably mean "acceptable" instead of average.

Or it's more like a median instead of average. Their curve isn't a bell shaped one.

I'm referring to prettiness. She has a pretty face. She is overweight though. You make the point nicely here though. She doesn't make the cut by today's standards. The fact of the matter is that many women don't make the cut.

Still proves my point. Men find a wider range of women attractive than the other way around.

Christ, one of my grandmothers was 6'3" and had eight kids. My grandfather was shorter than my grandmother by a few inches and my dad was 6'5'.. one of his sisters was 6'2" and his other brother was 6'6". All of my brothers are 6'3" and up. I am the runt at 5'10" and was the only biological girl My real mother is only 5'5" an 80 lbs soaking wet. Her side of the family is different. Her side is where I get the Sicilian heritage. My father was German. BTW, don't get me pissed off.
