“My daughter is 5’2″. She is simply not comfortable with a guy who is shorter than 5’7″ or so… You cannot fault someone for what is or is not attractive.”
“guys seem to have truly unrealistic values regarding weight and size… The bottom line (no pun intended) is that we have to be less concerned with numbers, and more concerned with the total package. Some girls who could stand to lose a little weight, can make awfully amazing wives and mothers.”
Interesting how “not faulting someone for what is or is not attractive” is apparently only for the girls, not the boys…

“Sac, it is very disheartening to hear that you are still hung up on the height issue. I would think that after dating so many guys you would understand what your real priorities should be.”
I don’t think this has to do with being “hung up” on a particular issue as much as it about the sheer stupidity of marrying somebody who you are simply not attracted to (no matter what the reason is). That’s not just asking for trouble, that’s getting down on your knees and begging for trouble.
