Crow Sandwich

Hi there all,
I just got back from a couple of days in DC for the job. I posted in Craig's List under the platonic section asking for someone to have dinner with. I emailed back and forth with a few guys and eventually chose one for dinner and had a really nice time last night. He was smart, funny, and a gentleman. He even insisted on buying dinner even though it was meant as a friends kind of thing. Turns out that he's really cute and I found myself attracted to him and.... he's only 5'9". I am sure you all have heard me say I am not attracted to men under 6'. Hal, in particular, will enjoy my eating crow so I thought that I would share the experience.
I had drinks with a friend planned for after dinner and he came along for the first part of that too which was really nice. He is here for work every few months and I am there now and afgain so hopefully I will see him again soon and see whether I can kiss someone who is barely taller than I am. I may have to buy some flats...

Hehehe... maybe using the term "generally not attracted to _______" is safer.
Have you heard from him since?
Have you ever noticed that on TV, couples tend to be the same height?
I usually like tall guys as well (I'm 5'9"), but my long-term ex was only 5'10" - I was taller than him when I wore heels.
The benefit to the not-so-tall guy is that you are at eye-level with each other when you're standing, and that can be really nice. Kissing is easier, too. The last guy I dated was 6'5", and that was a stretch.
Significantly shorter than me is still difficult for me, because I don't like feeling bigger than the guy.

I see that most women want men 5'10" or so whenever they post what they want regardless how tall or short they are. I am 5' 7.5" and was married to a woman 5'10.5" .. Like Jerry Stiller said, it does not make a difference in the horizontal position. I feel that I am "locked out" of many dating opportunities because of my height... even women my height want someone taller.. the heels thing. I figure dating in general is self selecting, i.e. if it is meant to be then it'll work out regardless of height, etc.

Laundry lists keep us single.
There are important laundry lists and there are lists like "height." Height is not important. As you found out.
Why is it called a laundry list anyway?
