And to think: I missed the “tall” category by TWO INCHES.
Wow, I’m not shomer shabbat, don’t live in NY, and am not even tall enough to be a tall female. That’s a group I should join.
So why the height gap? Is it so she can put on heels and still not be taller, which as we all know would cause the universe to end instantly. Or would it be a waste for a 5’7″ man to date a woman his own height when there are 6″ men who need her?
