In general, do the women who prefer taller men do so because they think their members will be bigger? A short friend of mine is curious.
Zahnradfee
No, I think it has to do with a) feeling more safe next to a tall man, and b) not feeling like the Hulk next to him. ^ ^

I kind of wonder if homosexual men prefer taller men, too.

That is actually racist. While obviously there are groups that share traits, they are not races.

Racism is holding one or more race down, thru act or word. I just accept the fact that people have diff skin color.

Not that she wrote it either... Pretty weird comparison.

Music taste is subjective. What you think of as garbage, other people might enjoy. I don't mind some Lil Wayne songs but have strong variety

And I'm just saying my opinion here. My taste goes from early classical music to raw black metal but I opine Lil Wayne's"music" is shitty

"Lil Wayne is garbage" sounds as if it's a fact. Next time say "I think Lil Wayne is garbage".

Next time I'll say whatever I want. I don't say facts, nobody does. Everybody express opinios, facts are in books,don't be so close minded

Yeah they vary from cancer-inducing shit to utter trash. That is quite a variety of garbage. Lil Dick wishes he had talent like Rebecca.

not sure how i wasn't clear, the churches' version of 'evolution' puts god as the catalyst. why does science even bother? (sarc)

that and it's become a meme that all atheists are assholes, usually parroted by the same people who say "not all christians/jews/islamists"
