I'm not tall: 6'0" at my penultimate doctor's visit, 5'11.5" at my last one, as time, apparently has already taken a bite out of me.

Anyway, that's not the issue, it's a damn good personal.

Right, but you wouldn't describe someone six feet tall as "the tall guy." That kicks in around 6'3", no?

I have just conducted an informal poll: I am tall at 6'2".

I do see that there is a difference between being tall, and being tall to such an extent that it can be used as a synecdoche. For "tall guy" to be a proper name, yes, I do think you need to be rather tall. Maybe 6'4"

That's me. I swear, she's talking about me . Sorry, guys, I've got a plane to catch. A plane in which I'll be uncomfortable, because I tower over you all.

Erin Gray would never write a personal ad like that.

Erin Gray was just a childhood crush; I'm into reality now; I need to suffer.

Maybe we need a Guess Fontana's Height Contest? Of course, if he really does tower over the 6'2" Michael, knowing his real height would narrow down his real identity quite a bit.

I'm wondering if his "soon to be single" prediction has manifested. And if so, is he now getting hit on a lot less? And is that plane he has to catch for the purposes of flying off to meet this harpy, or is he just cruising for hotties?

Well, golly! I'm so flattered right now. I am, as speculated, a she - just to set the record straight.

Thanks for the laughs. Now, you should date all of us, and we'll all post about it.

I only date soul-sucking emotional vampires who prefer my hateful negative attentions over no attentions at all. Please contact me directly if you qualify and live in/travel to the Portland, Oregon area.

I don't live in or travel to Portland. I don't mean by "I don't travel to Portland" that it's a rule or anything, it's just not something I habitually do or expect to do. I do know a woman there who owns a sword-cane and teaches in Reed's drama department, though.

Do you look like a monkey?

I mean, more than most humans?

Not unless most monkeys need glasses, no.
