Not ambitious, 300kcal only

Missed gym last night, and since I had been "reminded" to keep a balance of my life, and not to forget my darling "Jim", I headed towards TC after work - on my supposed "off-day" from gym. But, since I was really sleepy, and needed to allocate some time to shop for THE bananas, I opted for 30 minute cardio wave AND I only aimed for 300kcal. The result, 330 kcal, 14km, maximum heart rate 175.

With this, I'm sure I've burnt off my afternoon teh tarik.

I've got a few new colleagues lately. Today, this one colleague of mine asked if I'm still single. After me answering, she said "yeah, it's not easy because you are so tall"

Hmm...

I am SUPPOSE to get a boyfriend who is taller than me is it?

I used to set height as one of the main criteria, until lately some of my dear friends and my own sis, talked me out of that. The reason for the height thingy was because, to me, a guy who is taller than me would be able to give me the sense of security, the feel of comfort. But if someone who is shorter than me can manage to make me feel that way, I then don't see a problem. (This was what we agreed on during our last "discussion" right, gals?)

So, I suppose now, it's whether a guy who is shorter than me will feel at ease with me or not. "Guys wouldn't want girlfriends to be taller than them normally" - is my colleague's reply.

I would like to believe that if this guy is confident enough, if he is comfortable with his own height, and most of all, if he likes me enough - I don't think height could discourage him.

I'd like to believe so.

Your colleague is an idiot. Guys do NOT have issues with dating tall girls. However, being having an in-born trait of superficiality by nature, some of them, if not most, would PREFER slimmer girls.

Sad truth.

Carebear, I'm still searching for THAT MAN, and I'd also like to believe that I kind of "found" him...

Anon, sad truth? maybe, I gotta be careful here when commenting size. But, preferably, for gals as well, we prefer "fit" guys. And as a gal, I would like to stay slim as well. :)

'Jim' doesn't care if you're tall, short, fat, skinny bla bla bla...:P

If your guy has an issue with you being taller than you then he's got some serious self esteem problems. Would you want someone like that? And on the note of them preferring 'slimmer' girls, that kind of mentality is why eating disorders continue to be a big problem among girls...especially impressionable teens.

Too much pressure on girls to look like swimsuit models la. Like you said, we gals have criteria for our men too!
