[Sigh] So I’m 5’11” and since I was young I’ve preferred women close to my height or even taller. Superficial? Maybe, but we all have some kind of quirk one way or another and that’s our god given right. I’m not gonna say I’ve had no luck because I’ve had an active sex life and I’ve even been engaged to somebody who was my height. It didn’t work out for reasons outside of anybody’s control but be that as it may, since then getting back into the post Covid dating scene has been interesting to say the least.
• One I had to block because she thought it was okay to be nasty and disrespectful to me just because her day was bad and she was “stressed” (over self inflicted problems I, numerous times, offered logical solutions to)
• Another I had to block because after a day or so of HER disappearing from the conversation, she would text me outlandish tomfoolery such as, and I quote, “Why do you hate me and want me to die? You forgot about me lol” Mind you she was 11 years older than me and I’m not playing “Would you still love me if I was a worm” with a woman in her 40s
• Another kind of faded on me because we were both super busy with work and she had three kids and no alone time (I didn’t want to meet them)
• One just unfollowed me on IG after meeting at a work event, her calling me handsome, giving me her info, and then me, trying to play it cool and just not reaching out, maybe I played it too cool.
• Dating apps, don’t even ask me about. I’m inches away from going back to cigarettes because of those things. Either I’m seeing… characters on there, so to speak, or they throw me matches from hundreds of miles away (the one PROMISING one is all the way in Florida and I’m in Ohio)
Meanwhile, my friend’s 5’4” burnout nephew, no job, tattoos on his face, an on-and-off drug problem, just managed to have a freakin’ 5’10” Sydney Sweeney lookalike who’s a nurse approach HIM online. I haven’t been able to sleep since my friend told me that. Like am I cracking up here? Am I really screwed in the entire state of Ohio? Like Christ I work 60+ hours a week, and you’d think I’d have some reprieve here.
