795.143It's not about being a jerk... it's how tall the jerk is ...SCASS1::WISNIEWSKIADEPT of the Virtual Space.Sun Feb 16 1997 21:3419
    get it right... 
    
    Being tall is all that women think about and want.... 
    
    Sense of humor, being sensitive, family man, educated, generous,
    diligent, or even success pale behind an ugly man over six foot 
    tall...
    
    You don't have to belive me, I'm just speaking from 20 years of women 
    looking through me or in disbelief that someone under six foot (and not 
    looking like Favio...)would even try to talk with them...
    
    I'm sure there are exceptions but I haven't found them single and 
    datable...

too broad-brush and you're right, there are many, many
exceptions.

i think the women in the conference might be a little
insulted by the intimation of such shallowness. 

at least i hope so :-).

re .143:

I'll let you know that being tall is hardly a cure-all for dating woes.
I'm plenty tall but lack the looks of a Fabio and don't have a real charming
personality, and women don't exactly throw themselves at my feet.

Women are generally more interested in personality and less in appearance
than the typical man is.  They may be picking up on the "if I were only taller"
feelings and it may be a real turn-off to them, rather than the height itself.

795.158POLAR::RICHARDSONPatented Problem GeneratorMon Feb 17 1997 15:046
    I've noticed women have a love/hate thing when it comes to Fabio. Never
    heard a woman say "Well, Fabio is ok." or "Fabio's not bad." or
    "Fabio's cute if you're into that sort of thing." or "Hey you look like
    a nice guy, much nicer than Fabio! Want to come over to my place and
    play battleship and then have a nice hot bath and see where things go
    from there?"

    Actually, I should amend my statement to say that I prefer puny,
    stragley-haired, bloated-ego-musician types that treat me like crap.
    That's healthy, right?
795.168POLAR::RICHARDSONPatented Problem GeneratorMon Feb 17 1997 15:512
