I was reading a summary/blurb of what to expect from a new Channel 4 show (UK) called 'The Undateables', when I came across this.

Yes, you read that right...

Quote:
Penny is three feet three inches tall. Her ideal man is a 6 foot tall policeman. Will Max - who is 5ft 11ins - measure up?


:facepalm:

Even at three feet tall, a 5ft 11ins man 'may not' measure up to her 6 foot requirements. The addition of a question mark at the end suggests a mindfuckery of television viewing.

And then people wonder why I, being barely 5'4" tall, don't even bother to approach women :facepalm:.

At 5'9 she'd pass me over without a second glance, whatever. :rofl:

Meanwhile 23-year old Like is a stand-up comedian who has Tourette's. He's got an active social life and a good group of friends, but in a world where first impressions are everything, he's petrified of approaching a girl for fear of calling her a slag - or worse.


That's cute in a weird way. :3

Is this really more unreasonable than the Aspie nerd who won't date a girl outside of 5 miles from him and won't eat on a date?

Yeah, a guy shorter then 5' 6" or 5' 7" inches is gonna have a real tough time I agree.

5'9" seems to be the minimum height for lots of women from what I have seen.

Yes I watched the programme. Pissed myself at the guy with Tourettes, Couldn't feel much sympathy for the Aspie guy - he had looks on his side, all he had to do was stop acting like a retard - and I'm sorry if this offends any Aspies here, but come ON!....and I was quietly enraged by the three foot midget cow with expectations of bagging a hot boyfriend. A classic example of picky picky picky women.
