So, how romantic can I get? I read a comic book series that fell off the intarwebs onto my hard drive, I watched <b>Comic Book Men</b> on AMC, and then watched <b>How I Met Your Mother</b> ’cause it was on my DVR. Sorta romantical, innit?

I’m on a couple of dating sites. The more legitimate one keeps sending me women who don’t exist and are probably wanting me to send money to Nigeria. The other one has matched me up with lesbians in the past, but recently it matched me up with a woman who said, “I won’t date anyone shorter than me.” This made me think a bit. How nice to have one thing to be measured against and I wonder how I fare. She says she’s 5’10”, but is she rounding up? I’m sort of 5’9½”, but that’s just between what I probably am in the morning and what I probably am at night. And the last time the doctor measured me (the most official measurement, probably), I took my shoes off and it told me I was 5’8½”. (Of course I wasn’t having any of that and I got out a book and a tape measure when I got home and was just over 5’9″.)

But honestly, how nice to have something like linear me sure to use to weed me out before I get turned down because of some personal failings. She probably doesn’t like Asians either, but whatever.
