Summary: I don't contact men who are shorter than me on Match. I have no problem dating men a little shorter than me, but when you're 5'11'' and wear 3" heels, 5'9" men tend to get a little intimidated. I am very upfront about my height in my profile so if they contact me, at least I know they're aware.
Erik was one of the brave ones. 5'9", but cute, nice and well-spoken. We met at PCG for Happy Hour. Date started out on the wrong foot because we got there early and the elevators wouldn't take us to the restuarant so we were standing in a sea of dozens of people waiting to get upstairs. Doesn't make for the best getting-to-know-you conversation.
Once we got to the restuarant and fought all the vultures for a table, we ordered and had generally pleasant conversation. He talked a LOT about his dog, his job, his car and the gym. All of these are fine in moderation but COME ON. Have some interests! We both had two drinks, some appetizers and then conversation slowly started to die. An hour and fifteen minutes later, he begrudgingly paid the bill and we left.
Pros: Generally nice and cute; good, solid job; dog lover; traveler.
Cons: Mediocre teeth; tight mock turtleneck sweater; very self-involved; not close with family (talked shit about his brother for about 20 mins); gambler; generally boring.

A Perfect Lack of Anonymity
Mission Statement
To touch single and coupled people alike with the hilarious retellings of our Match.com dates. But mainly to prove to everyone (family, friends, coworkers, randoms on the street) that dating is NOT easy and will, in fact, most likely put us both into therapy by the time this experiment is over.
