I heard this all of my life growing up from my parents and nothing happened. In school I would bother the lunch lady for more milk cartons, ate lots of dairy products and played soccer. Well, nothing happened. No growth spurt. When will they stop telling this lie to kids?

TL;DR Santa, the toothfairy and this are the 3 biggest lies parents tell their children. 

I was hanging out with a bunch of friends that I hadn't seen in a long time some male some female at a house warming party.

One of the girls there came to the party late and said that she just broke up with her boyfriend of two years.

She said she normally cries or feels like she can't live without the man she just broke up with but is happy she broke up with this guy because now she can wear heels again and that she never wants to date another short guy again.

My face turned red and I said "Hello I am short!"

She looked at me and said "I'm not talking to you hush up".

She explained that she took a big risk by dating a man so short and that it was a big strike against him from the beginning.

Have you heard girls say this? How do you feel about it or handle such a thing?

So this woman kept viewing my profile on POF. She was pure hot and seemed to have great qualities, but her profile said to not message her if you were under 5'10. From what I gather, you cannot tell how many times someone views your profile on POF but if they visit ever so often they will turn up in Viewed Me. 
  
After the third time, I ignored her height requirement and messaged her. She told me she thought I was handsome. A few back and forths lead to a first date. She is two inches taller than me and did not seem to mind it when we went out to dinner and for a few drinks.  
  
After the third date, she came back to my place and we watched a few movies on Netflix and laughed for hours. We did not kiss, but after the next date, we went to her apartment and made out. It was like an instant bond and she told me how she felt butterflies in her stomach. The connection was felt by both of us. Ater a few weeks she told me she hadn't felt the way she did about me about anyone else in a very long time.  
  
I have a feeling this will be one of those relationships that will last a long time and I have never been happier. The lesson here is to sometimes take chances, because if I let what her profile said stop me from messanging her, we wouldn't be as happy as we are today. 

I am one of the guys who could care less about what shoes a woman wears, but why do so many women makes their shoes a non-negotiating factor when choosing a partner?

Okay, I'm not saying video games are a sport, I'm asking what you all think. Should video gaming, especially when people play in teams, be considered a sport? I heard a while ago that ESPN will be airing a show for major league gaming, which I just find to be dumb, but that's me. I want to hear what you guys think. When I see sports I see physical activity that actually gets people moving, rather than a hand moving to push buttons. 

I came across this a few weeks ago and wanted to share this. For all of you who complain about altering pants or are too lazy to get it done, there is this group on Kickstarter who set up a campaign to fund their RipClips invention. Basically, it is a magnetic clip that automatically hems the pants your desired length by clipping the ends of the cuff to the inside of the pants. The result is a clean cut look that won't unfold and drag on the ground. 

The campaign is over, but you can contact them at their website to order or check out their Kickstarter page. They raised $2000 more than their goal a few months ago, so the item should be in production. It doesn't automatically literally hem your pants, but you could use it for the purpose I just mentioned. Even if you got your pants hemmed, it is a great item to protect the bottom ends of your jeans.
