[quote name='I AM WILLIAM H. MACY']I didn't make eye contact because I wanted the upper hand in the relationship, so I stared intently at the ground as I walked forward.[/QUOTE]
1) Break up your story into paragraphs.
2) Don't stare at the groud for goodness sake, that's depressing. Stand straight, look at people or whatever happens to be around.
3) I know it was a joke, but I had to make those two points.
[quote name='NeoFrank1']Does anybody else think that the correct spelling of the word 'awkward' looks a little bit...well, awkward?[/QUOTE]
Every time I write it. Bad spellers of the world untie!
[quote name='PlumeNoir']You had me a bit worried. My ex was tall for a woman (nearly 6'2") and last I had heard, she was in the Atlanta area.[/quote]
Tain't me. I'm what I consider just above average. Ex Mrs PN is just flat out
tall. No getting around it.
I know I snipped it, but that is really cool how the mom used you as an example.
I've had people approach me for a lot of different reasons in my life. But this definately took me aback.
I know my ex was always so concerned about her height (it never bothered me, and I'm only 5'10") and would sometimes slouch (pet peeve of mine). I told her she was always guaranteed to be noticed, at least!
That's very cool of you. I think for me, I just want to be feminine in the true sense of the word, and a man to be masculine. The man is the stronger and able to provide security for the lady. When you're inches above a guy, it's hard to feel girl-ish or that
that guy will assume the masculine role. *shrugs*
[quote name='Tybee']BTW, I'm 6'5" and my wife is 6', so we know where you're coming from. They roll out the tanks when we pull into the parking lot.
"Gojira!!! And Mrs. Gojira!!! Run!!!"[/quote]
LOL It was funny, as I walked to my very disreputable looking car, I had a man following me the entire way. And as I always purposefully park further away from buildings it was more than a tad suspicious. (born in the bronx with bronx-bred parents, so I'm big on being situationally aware at all times, even in full daylight.)
Just as I ws reaching my car, I turned around suddenly to see who was following me and why. It was this little old man collecting carts as I discovered a few moments later. (Why he followed me I have no idea, as I left my cart with the others at the entrance and carried my packages.) Probably scared the poor guy, as he sorta hopped about two feet to his left and went towards a couple carts sitting in the parking lot.
This reminds me. Gentlemen, carry the bags! I don't know how often I see a man and a woman walking to their car from a store or mall or whatever and the woman is carrying all the packages and the man is just slouching along. Even in the old-timers. Drives me bonkers.

Best reply award for Tybee.
[quote name='VanillaGorilla']You pizza snobs are as bad as music snobs. Pizza is pizza[/QUOTE]
Nuh-uh. There's pizza and then there's pizza.
[quote name='PlumeNoir']Yes, yes it is.

$[/QUOTE]Good gosh! No, I'm definately not she, even if I were 6'2. I am not destructive nor vindictive. I believe in doing good. And cutting my losses and praying for the other guy when I've been wronged. And that's the philosophy of gwen in a nutshell.
