And Another Thing
Are men shrinking? Here is something I thought about last night as I was tossing and turning, unable to sleep, due to the coffee I drank on the drive home from Jackson -- CyberJason was, while not short, definitely not tall. DATE was also of average height. Actually, it kind of seems like most guys I see these days are only of average height.
Call me shallow but I want a manly man, a strapping six feet tall or more.
Update on the cute guys in bookstore thing...I visited three large bookstores in Jackson yesterday. Two were quite crowded, mostly with men. A few women with children, but mostly guys. Out of all them, I spied two cute guys. They were at B&N, hanging out by the magazines, which seems to be where the guys usually congregate at a bookstore - probably because their wives/girlfriends are browsing books. Anyway - one guy, however, I think was gay and the other had that married look about him. And they both were only averge heights - I'd say 5'9", 5'10".
Good grief I hope this is not going to become my new obsession - noticing and observing and comparing how tall every man I see.
Those who know me know I have a raging crush on JM, a local, due to a 30-second conversation we had four months ago that I'm quite sure he couldn't recall if his life depended on it. I think I will not pursue it, however. (sigh) Well, I take that back - if the one person who I know that knows him comes by the office, I will probably mention to him. Other than that, I won't actively try (anymore) to find someone who knows him so they can introduce him to me.
I think I'd rather keep him as my imaginary boyfriend, where he'll cater to my every whim and do wonderfully thoughtful things for me - heart shaped measuring spoons and pink tulips for Valentine's Day, my cover art (ever I get the damn thing) matted and framed the day of my first signing, a goofy Orange County Choppers keychain just because. Yep, an imaginary boyfriend is probably best.

Why doesn't anyone comment anymore?
So! We can't talk that often because of WORK so ya might as well comment here. It makes me feel popular. LOL
LOL I think you're right - most men are in denial about how tall they are - or aren't. Like you said, they delude themselves, we smile knowingly and say, "Yes, dear." and everybody's happy. Of course, we, being women, are happy knowing we're right. (-:
