Not an issue, I look at the toilet paper situation before committing to the business.

Like I need roommates to have that happen...
I've been talking to this girl on okc for the past hour. I noticed she's 5'9", an inch taller than me. I've been in a situation where that one inch difference was a problem for a girl. Should I bring up my height now just to get it out of the way or just plan a date without mentioning it?

plan a date without mentioning it. Wear your big boy shoes.
Don't you have your height listed? Isn't OKC one that does that?
I found out that coffee meets bagel gives you stats on how you're doing (your match rate with women, etc). I only installed this dumb thing recently because it seems to be all another friend uses and I was curious. It seems convoluted, but I do like the similar aspect of matches going away after a set amount of time.

Wear Timberland's and never take them off.
ha haa
hahahahaha
(((( I need the housing market to crash
Though I wouldn't mind living with roommates right now. Would love to meet new people.
All I know is I am currently walking around my apartment topless and I'm glad I live alone.
Hmm alright. Well first I gotta see if she even wants to go out.
You have to list it yourself. Honestly, I'm kind of afraid to put my height on my profile because of the stigma. I think I might from now on though. Fuck it.
What if she looks down though?
Don't mention it at all. If it's a problem for her then she'd have already seen your height listing and bailed. She hasn't, so assume that she's interested in you beyond your height. Go get'em.

You try wearing a bra sometime and see if you don't want to take it off the second you don't need it. Especially if it's one of those well-worn bras that have a piece of metal that constantly jabs you, but you can't replace it because its hard to find cute bras in your size.

Hey man it's all good with m
Speaking of which the one girl I was dating before I blew it pretty much never wears a bra so hey let em breathe free
More like I just got a new bra that broke my boobs and I'm in a lot of pain. Currently wandering around with heat packs.
Don't say that she's pretty cool
I should probably get a few backups though. I tend to get too invested in one person.
the upside to living in the midwest is i can rent a whole house for 600$.
the downside is living in the midwest.
I lived in Vancouver BC for a while, 1700$ for a small apartment just had me all "how do people even fucking live here".
Then again I'm trying to get a job in the PNW so I'm pretty screwed on rent in either Vancouver, Seattle, or Portland, no matter what I do. Gonna miss having a whole house though. At least people around here understand you have roommates or live with family while dating, I live in the part of town where all houses are like 3 generations deep living in them

Unrelated to the quote, but I came across this article about the general wardrobe strategy when you're on a budget. This is why I was cautioning against your plan to "buy a couple outfits" before.
http://restartyourstyle.com/219/how...fit-options-while-keeping-your-wardrobe-trim/
Plenty of minimal wardrobe plans out they in the Internet. Find one that you think works for you and execute. You could probably buy 10 things and be set with a ton of variety.
Ouch. My pain empathy doesn't even know which body part should react. I hope they feel better soon
Met a nice girl this weekend who shared way too many of my interests...video games, photography, data analytics...only problem was I was travelling, she was too, and LDR's can go to hell.

Looks like I really need to get an affordable blazer and a few new shirts.
Haha. Can't be ah naturel either. Oh well.
RIP budding LDR. 😔

One of my dates was asking me advice yesterday how to get rid of someone.
She told the dude that she wants to be just friends, but dude persisted asking her out. She said sorry, that she's not interested, but dude persisted asking and saying that she's "fucking pretty".
I guess someone is somewhere now asking the classic "why did she ghost me" question.

No? The girl I'm talking about has DD's and basically never wears a bra.

Just stay neutral with colors and you'll be good. Once you've got the basics, then you can add more wild color.

Some girls (and guys, I'm sure) are really weird about heights, even when information is given already. Some just don't bother even reading your profile. My profile showed my height (5'6") and I mentioned my height in passing (she was 2 inches taller), but when we came to meet (this date was back in March), she was still disappointed about my height! Like mate, that's now your problem, not mine. Anyway, that wasn't what made this gamer girl break it off, it was the fact that her daddy didn't want any non-arab boys

I'm glad I have a fashion conscious wife who tells me what looks good and what doesn't. The amount of crap clothing that was either ill fitting or just didn't look good she demanded I throw away when she moved in...
I can't tell how, um, heavy this girl is from her pictures. She only has two and one is a full body shot but I still can't really tell. She's not thin but she doesn't look overweight or anything I think. It's bothering me because it'll be important in how attracted to her I am.

If you can't tell for sure, she's, um, heavy.
That's nearly always been true for me. Just like how, if you're not sure which one she is in a group photo, it's always the least attractive one.

How thick are her calves and ankles? I always look at that.

If you can't tell that basically tells you all you need to know man.
Ask her for more photos. I wouldn't go out with a girl from the net unless I was sure she was attractive (except sometimes out here in china they are PS'd to hell and back and they are completely unrecognizable in real life, at least they'll most likely be thin though).
She's wearing a long black dress so I can't tell!
Dammit I feel so bad now. She seems cool too but now I'm having doubts.
I think that link should be added to the OP

She's like the Lance Burton of profile pics. Be ready for anything.
Did you have a plan? How much time commitment would it take?
When it comes to internet dating, I'm usually willing to meet for a ~1 hour coffee within 15 minutes or so of where I live/work, even if the odds are stacked against it being anything.

How round is her face? Granted people really do look differently in the physical space. Worst comes to worst you at least have an interesting date
You should put that in your profile
There's no plan yet so I'm probably thinking a little too far ahead but I guess an hour wouldn't be so bad.
Her face isn't round that's the thing lol. I'm considering asking for another pic.
Asking for another pic is kind of classless, IMO. Meet or don't. It is very unlikely for an additional pic to be the dealbreaker.

Kind of agreed. This is why first dates should be structured as either coffee / a drink or two. Besides, what happens if she sends another ambiguous picture?
Just assume she's not your ideal of attractiveness, go anyway, and hope for the best.
I kinda unintentionally have the opposite thing going on: all of my pictures make me look skinny, but I'm actually more built. I guess subtly lowering expectations and then marginally exceeding them can be a good thing.

I once asked to see if she had some nice vacation pictures...just of scenery mind you and got froze out. Now this one here is seemingly based on you and your thickness tolerance and if you're willing to go beyond your comfort zone on this one since we don't have a concrete idea of what she really looks like. You can either throw caution to the wind and see what happens or you can just say fuck it and not go.

The amount of times I've felt a bit meh about a girl at first glance who turned out to be great means up to a point it's worth giving it a shot. Up to a point mind you.
