Was there something that I did to you, to cause you to be this hostile? I mean, WTF is your problem?

I never said I cared about being short. In fact, I said the opposite.
I never said I was as funny as Robin Williams. It was an example that everyone has heard of.
Yeah, advice, not to be berated and denigrated for no reason. Grow up.

Someday, I'm sure you'll what I feel, and someone on here is as rude as you are. Its easy to act this way on an anonymous internet forum, isn't it? Somehow, I don't think I'm the one with the complex.

You let a friend ridicule you in an unfriendly manner. That's a turn off right there. Who keeps such cruel friends?

You called your friend "the b word" which speaks to your own manner.

Something tells me it's not your friend that caused the problem.

I let her? Unlike you, I am not clairvoyant enough to predict what people are going to say next. I guess I should have tackled her mid-comment

Umm, yeah. Kinda a bit chi thing to do. Wouldn't I be a dick if I said to a woman with a kid "I'd never, ever date a woman with a kid?". Be real, we don't live in La la land.

Ok, that's fine. Maybe it wasn't. I'm not sure. Trying to figure that out, by asking opinions.

I've skimmed most of this but you've not talked to your girlfriend since this happened? You're fine with just walking away without finding out from her what she thought of the incident?

I have no issue with my height or stature. Obviously, you didn't read the opening post.

I'm beginning to see why the lady left without any explanation. There's no point in discussing anything if you know the other person is always going to have a reason or excuse why you're wrong.

Vintage, if you know all the answers, don't ask any questions.

You're very reactive.

From your description it sounds like your friend went on and on about how undesirable you are without protest from you. You let her continue, yes? Did you walk away? Did you tell her it was uncalled for? Did you do anything?

That is what "letting" is; not being clairvoyant.

OP also doesn't seem to have considered the possibility that female friend contacted girlfriend after his phone tirade and told her, "Girl, that guy is an abusive ******* and you need to steer clear!"

Girls do that, you know.

It gets a little tiresome when someone continues to harp on the fact that I made a little comment, when I'm trying to explain that the comment I made is definitely, 100% not the reason why she left me. I'm not certain about anything else, but I'm 100% sure about that. If I'm reactive, its because I can't seem to get this point across, and that's my own fault probably due to my writing style and what comes across as pertinent when I'm just trying to tell a complete story.
