If I remember correctly, she is somewhere around 5'2" so with massive heels she's 5'5" or 5'6" tops. That means she is dating a nasally voiced midget. If he has orange hair there is a 64% chance he is an Oompa Loompa in disguise.<br /><br />Ok, I am done being mean.Zstepnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-33513784170672099522010-10-19T11:18:50.923+01:002010-10-19T11:18:50.923+01:00It may be that as you get to know the chap better ...It may be that as you get to know the chap better you will cease seeing or hearing the niggles; in fact they may become endearing. Or as I sometimes like to say "Love is when even the things about your partner which drive you bonkers (in an annoyed, not over the moon, way)you still find endearing." I hope you are giving it time. Maybe he will overcome his niggles about you as well (although what they could possibly be escape me).jmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-66245249238363152402010-10-19T08:52:06.261+01:002010-10-19T08:52:06.261+01:00TPS: Amen, my friend.

It's that, overall, he just isn't it for you.<br /><br />Maybe the bigger issue is figuring out exactly what you do want in a man. Figure out some basics and also think about what flaws you can tolerate to get the really important attributes.<br /><br />Hopefully there's someone out there that will absolutely thrill you from the moment you meet--like FabCanadian did for me. And the overall attraction and fit is so powerful that the other stuff (and by that I mean the stuff about me that must bother her) just falls by the wayside.Mike Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278807234342796553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-91772337959791308322010-10-18T15:04:33.591+01:002010-10-18T15:04:33.591+01:00I am frankly relieved that there are other people ...I am frankly relieved that there are other people who are seemingly as shallow out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-55936525187680880302010-10-18T14:07:34.392+01:002010-10-18T14:07:34.392+01:00Waterwing: You're not the first person to have...Waterwing: You're not the first person to have suggested that...<br /><br />JG: Heh.

The good thing is that you're not describing anything I'd consider the latter. Although to be fair, I'd take a bloke in jeans and a nice polo shirt over someone who turned up suited and booted any day.<br /><br />Then again, I did once dump a boy because I couldn't get past the fact, although he was good looking and very nice, that he had a slightly protruding chin. I even put him in my phone as 'Big chin Chris'. <br /><br />(That wasn't the reason I gave when calling it off.

Particularly being instinctively disgusted by an item when I ostensibly have no opinion on jewellery of any kind, (besides feeling instantly alienated by / distanced from men who wear necklaces - particularly those tight traveller efforts which kinda make me want to squeeze the neck it's clinging around. Or anything that screams 'spirituality, man.') <br /><br />Was once warming to a female when she turned up in a hideous tourquoise beaded necklace thing which made my stomach turn and my heart sink. I couldn't take my eyes off it. It was revolting. I think she thought I kept looking at her boobs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734266766203380275.post-81585108788795098652010-10-18T11:00:47.158+01:002010-10-18T11:00:47.158+01:00Disagree on male jewellry - it's all about the...Disagree on male jewellry - it's all about the cufflinks and nice watch.<br /><br />Agree on the necklace/chain point.
