Are current DV mods fostering ill will?

Sportsdude - I'm fine for you, eh? Does that mean there's a chance?

Chicklet - Thanks young lady.

I'm used to this now. Before, ie. a few years ago, I wasn't.

Sportsdude · Jun 08 06 03:14

Yeah, you probly are. Problem is I'm a generation younger, oh well. But I've got the same problem. All the girls I've ever known are in the mid 5 foot range. Grew up with a girl from my church who was from india they listed her as 4'11 but I swear she was nowhere near that. Being a foot taller or in her case 2ft taller kinda sucks.

It's called growing up and getting more comfortable in your own skin. It'll happen to you too SD, I promise.

purelife · Jun 08 06 03:19

SD, how old do you think I am? Geesh, you're not that much younger than me.

purelife · Jun 08 06 03:20

Chicklet with words of wisdom. Totally agree.

Sportsdude · Jun 08 06 03:21

Yeah that's true. When I played football or basketball people expected me to naturally do things that tall people in that sport were able to do i.e. (dunking). But the problem was that I wasn't naturally tall. Going into my freshman year of high school I was 5'9 and then going into my sophmore year I was 6'4, then next year 6'6 and so on. I went from this skinny little kid to this giant monster. Took a toll on my body thou anytime you grow a foot in 4 years and gain 80 pounds something is going to happen.

late 20's, early 30's like everyone else here, pl.

purelife · Jun 08 06 03:24

That's interesting SD. I'm sorry to hear that. You'll meet that special girl one day. I'm sure.

You know, the funny thing I get asked is "how did you get so tall?" Was it eating a lot of meat? Playing sports? LOL. I just laugh.

purelife · Jun 08 06 03:25

I'm 26 turning 27 in the summer.

purelife · Jun 08 06 03:26

Sorry Raging Poodle. We have hijacked your thread to talk about what is more interesting. tee hee....

Sportsdude · Jun 08 06 03:28

well I'm 7 years younger then you. I'll be turning 20 in july.

They always said I'd be tall but only like 6'4. And they said I would be lanky but they must have been drunk when they thought of that. Never could cut it as a soccer player. Plus having no cartilidge in your knees don't help either.

I hope that in the end, you're happy with who you are and your height, SD. You sound like a very intelligent and a mature guy for your age. These are good qualities that a girl looks for, well, for me at least.

What sports do you play now? I'm planning to do the grouse grind soon with co-workers. Shall be fun. I absolutely enjoy b-ball, v-ball and baseball but haven't played for years.

Cool, your b-day is coming up soon!

Goddamn, now I really feel ancient. I have shirts older than that.

(sigh)

Sportsdude · Jun 08 06 03:45

Ugh. I get that "you sound intellegent for your age" all the time. I could always get along better with older people but kids my age are just plain dumb and not on the same hemisphere.

What sports do I play:

Use to play baseball, football, basketball, golf and tennis in high school

Grouse Grind looks fun.

Been rowing for almost a year although I haven't been able to go rowing for about 3 months due to an injury which I'm getting looked at tomorrow.

Oh and I love to bike and ski.

Sorry. I know how you feel.
