Nah, I'm exactly as white as you thought. As far as I know all of my ancestors within the last 300 years or so are basically Krauts, Micks or Limeys.

My eyes have a difficulty with choosing their color. You see, to different people on different occassions, they appear to be a different color. This was most notable in a psychology class where the teacher tried to put us in groups based upon eye color.
Since my birth records say they are blue, I went to the blue group.
The blue group told me they were green. So, I went to the green group. The green group told me they were more a steely gray (ya.. a steely gray).
And this happens a lot, not just in that psych class (with the exception of them being 'steely gray').

T_Smith, I have the same eyes. I say they are blue, but it depends on what I'm wearing.
What's more confusing is the irises are not the same color throughout. They are denim blue and gray on the outside, but the inside ring is green/khaki.

Yes, the guys I fall for have a tendency to break hearts. *le emo sigh* But they're just so very pretty.
I also have the blue/grey/green eye-changing thing. I've always thought of them as blue, but one day when I went to the eye doctor, she was absolutely shocked at what a pale grey they were. And one time, someone told me they were lavender. Maybe I'm a mutant...*runs off to call Professor X*

I think I have the same type of eyes as you all are describing, mine usually lean more toward green or grey than blue, but blue would make the most sense, a few other members of my family cave blue eyes, I'm the only one with green, and it seems like the color looks different at times even to me.
Oh and on the whole type thing, I like girls with long hair, and have always been particularly attracted to girls with red hair and either green or brown eyes, and of moderate hieght but usually not taller than me, at least not by too much (I'm about 6 feet tall so that rarely comes up). Still I find girls more attractive if I like them personality wise, but if they happen to come close to that description in anyway it is a plus in my book.

Well, my husband, who is 6'3" with a shaved head and very broad shoulders, looks very little like my father, who is short-ish with lots of dark hair and glasses. However, they have the same teasing, goofy senses of humor and the patience of saints.
As far as looks go, though, I have always tended to be attracted to men who are unlike my father in appearance--tall, big guys with broad shoulders and (usually) a belly. I also tend to like the appearance of actors that resemble that (or give the impression of resembling that, since we all know all actors except for Tim Robbins are short )

What I've decided: All guys in Florida hate tall women. More guys in New Orleans love tall women. When you're 6', it's hard to find a guy who's shorter than you, unless he's already dating a girl who's 5'2". Posts: 9057 | Registered: Nov 2000

*thinks* My dad is a 6'3" football-player/computer-geek. I think I'd like the modern-day equivalent of him.

Ah, yes. Tall girls need to band together. We need to make regulations that short girls can only date guys of a maximum height and save all the tall ones for those who need them. And by need them, I mean that no one should have to wear flats to their wedding.

Well high heels where mentioned (or implied) and that reminded me of the story I just shared. What's that syndrome, where there's no filter between the brain and the mouth?

I'm becoming more and more worried about the things Hobbes might say in front of contractors one day.

*I* do date a guy that is shorter than me. I seriously thought about it when I started dating him too. Then I decided that I shouldn't be a height bigot and got over it, mostly. Maybe it is rebellion due to the fact I got lectures on finding oneself a tall man, long before I was ever of dating age.
We are fairly close to the same height, (I'm about a half inch taller) but if he lets his fro grow a little it evens out. And heck I like him for his charming personality and biting sarcasm, not his height. And I'm klutzy so he has no difficulty sweeping me off my feet. Normally some sort of martial arts leg sweep from behind dumps me on my rear quite effectively.
Most guys I'm attracted to are at least 5'10" though. I figured (before Steve) that I should probably find someone at least as tall as my mother, so she wouldn't intimidate him as much.
Also I've always been on the lookout for dark hair and light eyes ever since I found out about genetic crossover on chromosomes in biology. I just thought being a statistical anomaly was cool My first crush was on a guy with pale skin freckles, dark brown hair and pure blue eyes. *sigh* Maybe that was why I came down with that crush on Happy Camper more recently!
I went to a college campus today, and asked one guy for directions. He was sitting down and looking at his books, but when he looked up, he had olive skin, black hair nicely touseled, needed a shave, enormously long black eyelashes, and vivid, bright-green eyes. My knees went weak.

You're looking for a guy shorter than you? That strikes me as unusual.
