<p>@Silver, What you said is true. However, you get 2400 in SAT, you go to Harvard. (hypothetical.) She gets 1500, she can only go to a local CC. After 4 years, you guys certainly will be different - not just outwardly.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I appreciate this explanation. People can communicate on different levels (be aware of each other to different extents), so I certainly don’t think it’s all romanticized crap.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, I’m not going to Harvard, but I did get 2400 on the SAT and will soon attend a similarly selective college. I already addressed the issue of SAT score differentials. That of occupying different educational realms is interesting: You would certainly have been exposed to people the dichotomization of whom would be stereotypic but meaningful; i.e., community college students differ quite a bit from Ivy League students, enough that broadly classifying them would not be awfully inappropriate (with regard to validity at least). </p>
<p>However, I think you’re overemphasizing the experiential effect on the traits that would lead to the ideas of profound romance that I’ve strove to allude to: If she was right for you before community college and you for her before Harvard (and the like), then it ought to be so thereafter as well. If not, then you made a mistake in the first place.</p>
<p>

<p>It’s wonderful that you agree with me, because if I’m ever worried about being overly youthfully idealistic, the High School Life forum on CC is always my most reliable source for avoiding youthful groupthink. Wait a minute… :)</p>
<p>In seriousness, though, we’re probably right, and cynicism is probably powerful at eroding the idea that is nonetheless existent if one can uncover it through belief.</p>
<p>I agree with Silverturtle here, and umm, by the way, you can get into many (crummy) colleges with a 1500 SAT.</p>
<p>I’m a 6’2" guy so yea wouldnt date a girl taller than that haha</p>
<p>Im 5’1" girl …so idk if id ever be in that situation…but i wudnt mind dating a shorter guy</p>
<p>When you said what you said, about the profound meeting of the minds, I was unsure whether you were describing something you’ve felt before, or assuming that such a thing exists without ever having felt it.</p>
<p>The way you described it (and by it i mean whatever you think the most meaningful communication you can have with someone is) sounded detached to me, like it was an idea.</p>
<p>Well I don’t believe in super meaningful, fulfilling communication really, at least not for myself; I don’t believe I can feel like communication is like that for me. What I do believe is you can be aware of another person’s existence more acutely than normal (i.e that they are just as aware as you, are thinking their own thoughts while you are thinking yours, looking at you from where they stand while you are looking at them from where you are, etc) but that’s not a particularly happy experience; more than anything it makes you realize how oddly separated you and that person are.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Complex stuff!</p>
<p>As for what I’ve felt before, that’s a long story.</p>
<p>I’m 5’7 & I have to be able to be out with my guy and wear 4 inch heels and still not be taller than him. Sooooo, I would say 5’11 is good enough but I love love love tall guys - like 6’4 :-)</p>
<p>^thats one of the reasons I like taller guys</p>
<p>The perfect girl is 3 feet tall, no teeth, and has a flat head to rest your beer on.</p>
<p>I never really took height into consideration. I guess that I’d date someone shorter than me, height doesn’t seem too important to me: just the personality. Of course, if there was some guy who was 4’8, I probably wouldn’t date him.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would never be able to wear 4-inch heels without killing myself.</p>
<p>i’m a short guy and i’ve dated a girl taller than me and a girl shorter than me. whatever.</p>
<p>but because i’m short, i despise the heels that girls wear.</p>
<p>And these heels obsessed girls seem to be the same ones who complain that all the guys left don’t know how to treat a woman.</p>
<p>Well, if you’re going for about 1-3% of the population, yeah, you find that.</p>
<p>lol, I think tall guys are actually my style more often. (not being mean or anything!!) but my school, short people are usually wrestlers and they are really mean</p>
<p>I am 5’5 so I am pretty average. But no, I probably wouldn’t date a guy shorter than me, kissing would be too weird. :)</p>
<p>ST, I’ve always thought girls went for taller guys due to natural selection, boys went for shorter girls due to the thought they’d be considered more masculine. What do you think?</p>
<p>I prefer taller guys but when it comes to girls, I don’t have a preference. Actually, scratch that. I like girls who are shorter than me.</p>
<p>I’m 5’11, it works well as the majority of girls are a few inches shorter than me, a few inches shorter is best :)</p>
