Height isn’t this dating misfit’s only challenge

Dear Amy: While I could write a novel on how I feel, I will keep this short and sweet.

I am a 39-year-old man, and a dietitian. Health is very important to me.

My problem is that women in my dating range have been married and had multiple kids and have let their bodies go to waste.

Before you say “go younger,” let me say that the “new age” or “modern woman” does nothing for me.

I have zero attraction to tattoos, drugs, and women who want to hit the clubs.

So now I have zero options, and the loss of hope has taken a major toll on my health.

I am VERY attractive and one of the silliest and most thoughtful guys you could ever meet, but at 5 feet 6 inches tall I am thinking my height is causing me to come up short in their eyes (on first impressions). Pun intended.

— BORN IN THE WRONG CENTURY

Dear Wrong: Dude, I don’t think height is really your problem. But it might be. Because you are so specific with your desires, trigger happy with first impressions, and shallow in your own judgments, the only surefire way for you to determine if your height is causing you to be a dating misfit would be for you to grow a few inches taller.

Get on that, and get back to me.

Dear Amy: I hated your one-sided, knee-jerk response to “Not Really Stepdad.”

His sexual attraction to his girlfriend’s 18-year-old daughter is his own business. He didn’t say how old he is — he might be close to her age! These two are consenting adults. His longtime girlfriend deserves what she gets by getting ugly and fat.

Your answer only reveals your deep hatred of men. — DISGUSTED Dear Disgusted: “Not Really Stepdad” laid out a classic predation pattern of grooming a child in his household, starting when she was 11 years old.

I don’t hate men. But I’ll admit to hating this man.
