Anything But That

[Professor]

I'm 5"9 and and can proudly say that many of sisters would miss an exceptional man if your standard is 6 ft. and up" and so on. . .


I've dated taller girls and women (there is a difference) and I have been able to reach all parts of them without a probelm.

I'm certain that this is the case but everyone has preferences. I am sure many men miss out on exceptional women who are not a certain weight, a certain complexion, or have a certain type of hair. It is all a matter of preference.

Yes gurl! They can't just be tall and skinny. I need muscles. I'd choose NFL body over NBA body anyday. I just like REALLY masculine men. Tall, muscular, deep voice (that's a must), facial hair, confident- almost arrogant, ....I love those things in a man.

Co-sign 100% with Queencece. It is a protection thing. I just feel safe and protected with a tall, muscular guy. I love looking up to them too.

Remember, not all NBA bodies are skinny. There are plenty who are buffed out and up. The ideal for me would be tall with diesel muscularity, short or no hair. And must dress classically and conservatively.

My preference isn't a man 6 ft. and taller - you just have to be taller than me. *lol*

Soror, if I wasn't married, we'd have to go on a "scouting" trip together! Looking for free agents,

A HAIRY chest...u know the kind with the beady beads..the one's that pop back when u pull on them UGH!!

Amen to that! And I really hate when they lift up their arms and they have the same damn taco meat under there too. Another thing is rusty feet with toenails long enough to use as a sword. Soak those boys in some real hot eater and get a pumice stone. Also, please have clean ears both inside and out. I like to nibble .

Rain Man, you had me CTFU over your photo negative comment.

And honestly professor, that's not a "rule" per se..it's just always worked out that I've dated men over 6ft. I guess that's what I'm attracted to, but I've never flat out rejected someone because of height. (I don't want to seem shallow )

[MaMaBuddha]

can't deal with some that nags all the time.

can't deal with a pessimistic person either.

can't deal with odor, stank breath, or yellow teeth

[SouthrnBelle]

I would have to agree with LoveSpell on the hairy chest. There is nothing worse than resting your freshly done hair upon a chest of taco meat. GROSS!

Dirty nails are nerve wrecking. I actually was talking to a sweet guy who loved to cook and could cook, but his nails always looked like he had been working on a 76 Chevy and the boy didn't even have a job.

I concur...all those other things can be dealt with. I am 5'10" and I can honestly say that I've never dated anyone under 6'. I'm like 6'1" with nice heels....

Another 5'10" sistah in the house! Yeah, I'm SO COOL on dating men shorter than me (tried it, didn't work)...

I'm also going to have to cosign on the general hygeine (you're a grown azz man...wash yourface, brush your teeth (and tongue), clean your ears, etc). Also a No-No: a taco-meat chest, jacked-up feet, dirty nails, bad breath, body odor, walking around ashy, and extremely hairy underarms (then you want to put your arm around me when your'e wearing a sleeveless shirt) . Basicall,y an unkept appearance is frowned upon...

*And LaidBackFella, your post has me laughing everytime I think about it..."teeth do si do and courtseying", LMAO.*

I just thought of another thing (I saw an offender while I was out): Long Hair. Unless you are wearing cornrows (this applies to my brothers only), don't wear the long-haired perm or ponytail look. Ever.

Can you tell I prefer the clean-cut look?

[Wonderwoman4]

I'd have to say that for me it would be either bad breath or body odor. I don't do well with smells....

[delph998]

RM...why, oh why?! I won't even say how you violated us on GC with your last comment.

With all of the single sistas out there, I'm sure we'll make a lot of exceptions if he is truly THE ONE. Bad breath can be cured...make 'em go to the dentist. Nappy chest hair? Shave it/perm it...somethin'! Short? There's no cure for the one. I don't mind short guys though. My brother's a shorty and he's an exceptional guy.

[itsmesteph08]

short as me, or shorter.



I am 5"2 and if he's looking me eye to eye (?!?!?) it's not gonna work. . . It's not a good look. . .
