single 5'10, 39yr old woman seeking 5'11 and taller south korean or japanese male 40 to 50 yrs old for friendship (if there is such a thing). Looking for someone to hang out at the movies, go to starbuck's, conversation & lunch. NO DRAMA just fun! Only the serious need to reply. Very inexperienced when it comes to meeting people, but willing to try. I've had no luck so far but...... if you're interested to JUST hang out sometime, catch a movie or lunch. Contact me.

What is your point?

 

Since you posted a thread about getting shoes that make you taller, is THAT what bothers you?

 

IMO, she is simply being honest. She wants someone who is taller than her. While I think it will be tough finding an Asian who is on the taller side (not being stereotypical...just saying), I have no problem with specifying a height nor a nationality.

It's STRICTLY PLATONIC. She is looking for friends and has a height requirement for her FRIENDS?

 

You don't see anything that bothers you there?

[JamesM]

No, because I think her ad is being used as a way to get a guy. She wants it to start out as a friendship, but based on her description, I think she wants it to become more.

 

Besides, it is CL...anything goes. If she advertised that she wanted someone to hang out with...no guidelines given, then who knows what would happen?

 

I understand your point, but having read so many CL ads, I know where she is coming from.

So she's not only shallow, insecure, but also dishonest?

 

I'm curious, how many Koreans and Japanese do you think are 5'11 +? DOn't mean to stereotype either, but I would think easily 80% are not.

[Malenfant]

its a common misconception that Japanese are short, actually they average about the same height as English.

Its Chinese people who are on average generally shorter.

[single ape]

I think what they are trying to say is: On the craigslist OMFG scale of 1 to 10, that is about a 2.2.

[sedgwick]

I think your concern about your height is blown way out of proportion!!!

 

I mean, I once saw an ad on CL where a guy wanted to be a sugar daddy to a girl who was 100 lbs or less, and the added financial incentives for being 90 or less, 80 or less -- and, you guessed it, he'd pay the most for a girl who was 70 LBS OR LESS!!!!

 

Does this make me feel like I have to be 70 lbs for a man to love me, and that NO men want a woman who weighs more than that? Of course not. Everybody wants something. For example, there are some people out there who prefer their partner to dress like a stuffed animal. This has no bearing on YOU or YOUR LIFE.

 

(Also, would you REALLY want to be with someone who puts an apostrophe in "Starbucks?")

I've never seen a Korean or Japanese man who was 5'11 or taller. That woman is on crack.

I've been to Japan and all over it. I am giant compared to the vast majority of Japanese. And I'm a manlet here.

Sorry, you are neither Japanese nor South Korean. YOu cannot be her friend. Sorry.

[Dark-Farmer]

I see alot of bull here.

 

Yes a hieght resriction on a "friend" is weird

 

But "friendship" and only the "serious" need reply

a "serious friendship" with "NO DRAMA" just fun ... well that's the opposite of serious.

 

You don't find a friend going on a date (becuase that what shes asking to do) with a man that fits your rather strict requirements (strict for a friendship).

[Lucky_One]

You're 5'9.5" tall, and you are this hung-up on your height? Dude, you could be 5'11" (a whopping (insert eye-roll) 1.5" taller, and most women still wouldn't date you because we like confident men who really don't care about things as shallow as someone's height.

No, the apostrophe was correct. It was the comma out of place. "starbuck's conversation". She's a Battlestar Galatica fan.

 

I know. Stupid joke. Couldn't help it. I'm stupid sometimes.

[Pizzaman81]

Sorry, you are neither Japanese nor South Korean. YOu cannot be her friend. Sorry.

 

HAHA maybe she wants to set up an enviornment that she only hangs out with tall Korean or Japanese men.. i wonder what she's try to promote.
