I bet the world looks different from that high up. I’m 5’3 and every once in a while I pass a guy in the hallway whose legs are so long it puts his crotch almost at my mouth level. He’s gotta be nearly 7 feet tall. It’s insane. ---

> [@Spit](#): > > Do you feel “weird” when that happens? My best friend is 6’4, and he says it just feels odd whenever there is someone taller than him in the same area. Well, 6’3, while tall, isn’t so tall that there aren’t several people who are taller. One of my better friends in high school was 6’7", for example. But, yeah, it is kinda weird when it’s a woman. That’s kinda what I was talking about. I wind up staring and checking her out even though I’m not necessarily attracted to her. It’s like my mind takes a bit comprehend the idea or something. Unlike meeting guys who are taller than me, it’s just so rare: it has maybe happened 3 times in my life. ---

It has to be weird on some level, doesn’t it? I’m not quite 5’4" myself, and I always feel a bit odd when I encounter someone I tower over since it happens so rarely (with other adults, that is), especially if the someone is male. Oh…I tend to find really tall people somewhat intimidating, tall women more so than tall men. ---

I have consulted my anaconda. He has assured me that his standards of beauty are not now, and have never been consigned to a single feature, and that he considers the reputation of his kind vis-a-vis a certain knight of Mixalot a vile slander. Tall women, or those with shall we say, a _brazilian_, build, are kind of awesome, but it’s just two potential attractive feature out of . . . so many possibilities. – Back when I was younger, I was consulting him two, three times a day. Course, now that I’m unemployed, I don’t have much else to do. For the brief window of time before I starve to death. ---
