A girl at work declined my interest because I was too short (5'9" she is 5'7"). She did it a pretty callus and inconsiderate way.
Then she hooked up with one of the shipping guys (5'10") who is a player. After they hooked up, he came to me and said, "I ****** her and there is nothing you can do about it." The look of malice on his face was sickening. He knew it would hurt me a lot and he was truly enjoying every sylable.
Then he moved on to the next which hurt this girl. So, who does she come to, me. I tell her no because neither her nor her player bf were particularly kind to me, I was hurt, and I thought her actions exposed a selfish, discompasionate character. I didn't tell her all this, I just said no. The player would call me Pee Wee and she would laugh. I weight 160 lbs and am a certified physical fitness trainer (not my profession) and in great shape. The player is fat and out of shape.
Five months later she got married to someone outside the company. Five months after that she is pregnant with their first child.
I had to sit at the table with them at my bosses bat mitzva. Her husband is 6'1"-6'2", average looking. The player was at least animated, social and funny. This guy is boring. He barely looked up from his plate the whole time.
Here is what hurts. I am a funny guy, a caring guy. I speak 5 languages, play the guitar, ride a sport bike, rock climb, box, authored patents, taught in universities in China (I am a white American), been half way up Mt. Everest and had my lung collapse. I am an electrical engineer, but have worked as a self-employed artist for a while. None of this she knows because she could never get past my size. The player has never been out Queens, has no education and a paper route at 34 years of age. He cares about no one.
She is sweet and affectionate to both these guys. I am treated like crap. I'm sure her husband thinks she is an angle. It's hurts so much when you are a good guy, you really care for someone and they only want someone taller; who they are beyond that is not imprtant. I am not db. I am not a wimp.
This has hurt me so bad, I haven't spoken to this girl for a year, though we work only 20 feet apart. I hurts so bad, I am having to find another job. It just amazes me the power of height. You can be the biiggest ***** in the world and you're golden. A shorter guy with a heart and accomplishments is nothing but garbage.
