Son of a Celebrity

I'm not sure if I can't take a hint or if I really wasn't listening, but an older guy I went on a date or two with was trying to inform me that his father was an A-list celeb, but without actually saying it. Four whole days later, it hit me. Four days after that, we went on one last date. Anyway, on dinner date one, this is what he said but I didn't hear:


Me: So where do you work?

Older guy: Oh, you know, I write music. And I do some acting.

Me: Oh yeah? Anything I've seen?

Older guy: Hm, do you watch (huge courtroom/crime drama show)? My dad got me on there.

----later----

Me: Oh no, your father passed away?

Older guy: Yes, and the worst of it is he left nothing to me and my brother and millions to his second wife.

Me: That sucks. Mmm.. good tofu.

----later still----

Me: What's your last name?

Older guy: It's (famous actor's last name).

Me (to self): Jesus, why isn't this guy asking me any questions?

----at work four days later by the printer----

Me (yelling): WHOoahahaohhhhh! I went on a date with (famous actor)'s son!!!

Size does matter

So I had a realization this morning that size does matter, but not in a feet vs man parts thing.. (Or noses, or ears, or any of the other theories out there.) It's about relationship success in relation to the height of the dude. I realized today that the taller the guy was, the better the realtionship went.

Overall, the shortest guys have proven to have the shortest fuses. A small stature has frequently come paired with a small maturity level. But why? Is it a Napoleon complex? Do taller guys act more manly simply because they appear so? Why have taller men been so much better at being stand-up dudes?

But then again, at some point, the graph takes a sharp turn downward. Really tall guys = very low success rate. Too much is just too much. Extreme height is drastically related to the same shortcomings the short guys had. Lots of height meant lots of ego, baggage and immaturity.

So where's the happy medium? So far, it's been right about 5'10" or 5'11".. But this isn't an exact science.
