i dont think there is anything wrong with saying what you want. its all about wording it nicely.

so what if people call you names for stating your requirements, it is your life. People who have a issue with other peoples requirements are usually just pissy because they don't meet them. Big deal, everyone has requirements, it is better to list them upfront imho

It is possible that the reason behind it is that she is a little on the tall side and would prefer a man that is taller than she is.
I am 5'7" and I prefer men at least 6 ft, simply because that makes them the right height to lay my head against their chest when we are dancing. Also, I can wear heels if I want to and not feel like I am towering over my date.

I get you!!! I think that we all have a vision in our head of what we want....but sometimes life throws you a loop and you end up with something completely different! When I was younger I was really picky and into the gorgeous guys.....alot of good that did me!!! Now I go for someone who intriques me with their mind and heart!bigsmile drinker

no, I understood perfectly what you were saying, and I answered in kind. If the person take offense at your requirement it is clear that she does not fit what you are asking for. I would post it, and be happy about it. I have had more than my share of hate emails, I just delete them, and forget about them. I am not screwing them, marrying them, or living with them, why do I care what they think

Where does it say that you can't specify that? I have seen guys specify what hair color they want or how long the hair should be. You can specify whatever you want, no matter how shallow it may be. Women will perceive you the same way you are perceiving the woman you are talking about. I don't see what the problem is.
