Blimey!

I've been to Galway twice! Sadly on business so I didn't get much of a chance to get out and see the place. That was back in the days when the Digital Plant was closing down!

I stayed in the Glenlo Abbey hotel, andthen the Great Southern in Aire(?) Square. What a great town!

I've always meant to go back for a proper holiday there!

Thats quite fine if you ask me.

Ive always had a thing for short girls.

My current girlfriend is 5'1", and a girl I had a thing with over the summer was about 4'11".

Call it what you want, but even if you said short I dont think anyone would care.

;) :)

Oh yeah, and Im about 5'8" and 145lbs with about 7.5" hand from wrist to middle finger tip.

Not huge hands, but they do the bass thing well.

Peace
Nick

6'3", 155 lbs.

My g/f says I have a nice body, but there's not much to it as you can see by the weight. I do have some semblance of a 6-pack, but its just because I'm so skinny and the muscles can't help but stick out :p

5'10...6 even with my boots on.

146 lbs. right now, but that's after devouring a couple pizzas and about a half gallon of soda.

Hands are 9" from wrist to the tip of my middle finger.

Hair is 23-25" long.

Shoe size 12E

My waist is unknown, but smaller than 34", because my pants keep falling down if I don't wear a belt.

Did I forget anything?

Your attention to detail can be frustrating at times!

I guess people with the half inch that isn't covered ,have to follow standard mathematical rounding rules so that they can find the correct 'bucket' in which to make their mark.

Had the poll poster changed the buckets to accomodate those with an extra half inch (oo-er) here and there then, for example where would people exactly 6 ft tall go..........;) :D

½" is quite significant in this context!!

I can think of quite a few contests where 1/2" is quite important;) :D

I bet you're just using this thread to increase your already impressive post count;)

I know this is off the topic, but does feeling (although not necessarily being) short (check my post about my size) have anything to do with the fact that large women intimidate me?

Last year, I found out one of my friends was VERY interested in me in..that...way.

But she was 5-11, and not skinny (medium to large boned, but little to no fat).

I got scared. LOL. I felt like that part in Deuce Bigalow when that huge Norwegian woman Tina was carrying Rob Schneider up the stairs :D

I have dated two people in my life, and tallest was 5'-3 3/4''. (The other was 5'-2'').

I like feeling tall. I hate feeling short and puny. LOL. :p :D

Hehe, if I wasn't very happily in a long term and permanent relationship, she sounds like my kind of woman! :D

The tallest girl I ever dated was 6' 2" and had been a ballet dancer for 15 years! her legs were (and still are, I'm sure ) longer than mine!! (I'm 6' 6") :eek:

I have dated everywhere from 5' even to the mentioned 6' 2", but as it turns out, I fell in love with a nice medium size 5' 6" girl.
