    We all know girls (at least in america) would almost always rather have a taller guy as a mate, and pretty much require they be at least their height, but my question is, is just around an inch and a half enough of a height difference? I mean for outgoing, hot girls that DO have options. I hate being just shy of 5'10" but always ALWAYS go for chicks that are like 5'8", meaning im an average height guy who likes girls quite a bit taller than average (although not runway model tall)... dunno those legs just kill me :) although 5'7" or 5'6" isnt a killer if it was the right girl, but im not sure girls are as forgiving in a guys height, for chicks in that height range, do you/can you find guys between 5'9" and 5'10" attractive? Would you rather date a guy that is 6 ft? 6'2" ?

    Ok so i am a 16 year old female and in the 11th grade. My parents have been married for 16 years also. So when i was in the sixth grade my dad called my sister and i upstairs. When we got there we saw my mom crying and i dad then told us that he had an affair with another woman about 5 years before an that we had another sister. I did not cry, my sister did. I thought that he was telling me, my mom, and my sister, but he was only telling us. He had told my mom when it happened. I immediately started to resent my mother. I just could and still can't understand how she can stay with him. It seems like since that day me and my mother have never been the same. I pretty my can't stand her. I just feel like she only wanted to stay with him to make us happy but i would much rather have them divorced and happy than together and arguing. My mother and i get in an argument seriously everyday and i has drained me mentally, and emotionally. When my dad hears her and i arguing he comes and starts yelling at me because he feels like i don't respect her. Everytime my dad goes to see my other sister; my mom gets worried and scared that he will have another affair with my sisters mom, and it makes me sick. He is always explaining to my mom that it is not my sisters fault so she has the right to see her father and also he does not have to pay child support. He always say "if i had to pay child support, we would not have this house and we would not be living the life we do because it would make us struggle even more." out of resentment i always take his side. But now i think i hate the man he has become because he is mean, has anger issues, and always thinks he right, and doesn't allow anyone to voice there opinions, but he swears up and down that he doesn't do that.. theres alot more to it but i don't feel like writing it....the only thing i want is for my mom to understand my feeling and for me to be able to talk to her about anything.

  • Need at least one opinion before I make my decision? Does she like me?

    Singles & Dating - 6 hours ago

    Additional Details

    Here's what she does, I need opinions: I sit next to her, and she always puts her feet like real close to mine, so much it makes me uncomfortable. Thought it was 1 of those things you do without thinking, but she doesn't do it with other people. Once, she had her leg touching mine, noticeably. So I moved away, but said what the hell and put it back touching again and she didn't budge. She teases me when I act tough. I caught her staring ONCE. Also, I forget my book for class often so I shared w/her. So once I was sharing with my friend and she asked me to share with her instead. She paid for my library fee. One time she put her open hand on my leg by accident and said "oh my god, i'm sorry!" all loud/nervous. That's how she sounds if she says hey to me in the halls. It's either that or awkward eye contact and we don't say anything. I dunno, she's hot AND a great person, I'm an average happy-go-lucky kinda guy. That's why it has me thinkin'..she's outta my league, honestly. Wen we make eye contact she looks away.
