I first heard this term over at
Superflous Juxtaposition a while ago. At the time, I was ok with being single. In the last year I have decided to start torturing myself by getting back into the dating scene. The torture I chose: eHarmony.com. First of all, let me just say that dating as an adult SUCKS! Between working, taking care of my home, and my friends, I don't have a lot of energy left at the end of the week. I want to relax, not see people rejecting me based on a few statements and a picture. Fortunately for me, I blame the rejection on my height. At 5'10" in my bare feet, I am tall, throw in some heels and I am over 6'. Men often tell me that I must be taller, because they are "5'10"". Nope, they're just liars. So far as I can tell, just about every man I have met has claimed they are about 2 inches taller than reality. So, for every man that rejects me, I pretty much blame it on them being shorter than me. This works pretty well for me.
Having recently met up with one of my matches from my self-inflicted torture, I found that even at 6'2" they still lie about their height. I would like to know why they lie. Not only about their height but also about calling.... Alas, "D" appears to have been
hit by the bus, never to be heard from again.
