I admit, itā€™s nice in the spring when everyone is concerned about their pale legs and mine are already pre-tanned.

I wouldnā€™t go so far as to say ā€œhateā€, but I donā€™t much like extremes in any direction. I never felt comfortable dating men over 6ā€™, and people who are a lot taller than I am make me feel almost insignificant. Massively muscular men and women do not appeal to me at all. Tiny, dainty, elegant women make me feel like a lumberjack. And quite frankly, anyone with thick, wavy, luxurious hair can just go jump in a lake. OK, that last one isnā€™t hate, itā€™s serious envy. As for me personally, I hate that my hair is thinning so much, but thatā€™s thanks to Dadā€™s genetic. My mom has thick, wavy hair, but it started turning gray when she was 40. Iā€™m a few weeks away from 61 with nary a gray hair, but the fine, straight tresses that remain are increasingly sparse. If my head was a more pleasing shape, Iā€™d just get a buzz cut and be done with it. ---

I donā€™t know how to explain it, but I can tell the difference between what your mama and _Sun Tan City_ gave you. I know what you mean. I was just teasing. Tanning booths in general seem dumb to me - is it really a shock that doing that might be bad for you??? Yet women go, year after year. ---

Cannot wait for the hipster full-beard thing to go away. Iā€™m not into facial hair anyway, but donā€™t mind if men want to wear a mustache or trimmed beard for their own satisfaction. However, the bushy beard thing is the visual equivalent of skipping deodorant. ---

Count me in with not preferring big boobsā€¦I like em small. Donā€™t like blondeā€™s either for that matter. But to go with the original intent of the thread: At an even 6 feet people (mostly girls) consider me and call me tall. But I hate my height. Iā€™m not tall enough to be tall, not short enough to be shortā€¦Iā€™m justā€¦bleh. (And yes I know the average is 5ā€™8 or whatever but itā€™s not how I feel) I also have a personality that draws people in cuz Iā€™m friendly and funny and whatever. Which is fine and all, but Iā€™m told ALL THE TIME how far thatā€™ll get me life, how wonderful it is, how amazing it is, blah blah blahā€¦and I feel like Iā€™m not far in life and it hasnā€™t really gotten me anything. Itā€™s like I have this enormous pressure to succeed because I can get along with peopleā€¦and Iā€™m failing. So there are a lot of people who want to be able to talk to people and blend into crowds as well as me, but itā€™s kinda my curse too ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > But I just came back into fashion after 25 years! Well, I do keep mine trimmed. Iā€™ll bet yours is fine. Thereā€™s just something about the combination of paying too much attention to the hair on your head and not enough to the hair on your chin (and neck) that grates on me. ---

Kim Kardashian has brought the big booty (a.k.a. bubble butt) back in fashion. KKā€™s is too big already and the ones that are even bigger are a turnoff for me. ---

KK is built like a fireplug. I just donā€™t get it. **Things I donā€™t like on women:** Fake tan Fake white teeth Fake eyelashes Super skinny body Long fake dragon lady nails. Obviously fake contact lenses **Things I donā€™t like on men:** Shaved chest/arm/body hair Fake tan Overly muscled Fake white teeth Shaved bald head, unless you really donā€™t have any hair. **Things I donā€™t like on men OR women** Neck tattoos. ---

I, too, look 10 years younger than I am. Not a bad thing on the whole, but I do get tired of hearing, ā€œYou donā€™t look old enough to have a child that age!ā€ Iā€™ve heard it for 17 years. I suppose now it is meant as a compliment, but when I was 18 with a child, what did they expect me to say? So now I make every effort not to state the obvious to other people, anything they are likely to be sick of hearing as well. My wife is tall (6 ft) and thin, and she is so sick of people commenting on how jealous they are. Is the general public so naive to think they are the first to come up with a ā€œcleverā€ comment? And big boobs? Overrated. I prefer my wifeā€™s to mine šŸ˜ƒ ---

I find thinness in men a turn off. And I find tall women mildly unsettling; definitely not something Iā€™m envious of - Iā€™d much rather be the slightly less than 5ā€™4" I am than 5ā€™10".
