Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Hey Mike, I'm 24 now and have been in the LPA on and off all of my life. About 2 years ago, I was dating an average size person and took her to a regional. She didn't seem to have a problem with being around nothing but lp's. She seemed to enjoy herself quite a bit. As for getting stares and people making comments, I'm sure there was some of that.. I noticed some of the stares, however, my situation was a bit different being that it involved 2 females.. not a male and a female. But other than that, everyone seemed to welcome us both without a problem. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Mike, Like Amy, I have brought an AP companion, male though, to an LPA Regional about 5 yrs ago. No one was at all rude or stared at why an AP/LP were together. In fact, everyone made him comfortable and he even went out to smoke with the smokers since smoking is not allowed inside anymore. It is the 'outside' world where we got stares, depending what part of town we were in. He being AP and African-American and I being LP and caucasian. It is sad how this world still judges by appearance. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hmm not all of us short men suffer from that condition thank you . The only reason I have never dated a LP lady tis I have yet to find any other than a friend of mine here named , and we went out a couple times but I have known her so long it was like dating my sister. The shortest female I have dated was 5' 3 " tall and she went nuts and is stalking me to this day (which I might add she was still taller than me lol). And yes I agree we all tend to stare, I do it cause I am a very attentive person and when I see someone I try to take in the whole picture of the person. As in I see a lady in a wheelchair... I look at her face and eyes, then I look at how she moves the chair, by these observations one can tell weather she is independent, new to the chair and in need of advice and etc. So don't take all staring badly and don't judge all of us short men by the couple you have encountered.

Re: Interspatial relationships & LPA You know what??? I am a 40 yr old achon and I have found no matter who you are what you are doing and who you are with .... people stare. I'm guilty of it. Whether its a beautiful woman and you wished you looked half that good or a good looking man or perhaps someone missing a limb or in a wheelchair ... my point you don't have to be strange or beautiful you'll always have someone stare. If you feel good inside and feel confident you will survive .... I do! Does that help? I have only dated men that were 6 ft and taller my shortest date was 5'5 and he was a bigger ass then the taller ones because he suffered from that short mans syndrome and he only wanted to date someone shorter than him he didn't really like me for me.... so LP's are what I'm interested in now more and you know, if peps are going to stare and not one but two shrimps I say " LET EM " haha Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Hi: Being only 4/10 most women I have dated were taller than me. Well wait a minute here! All the women I have dated have been taller than me. But still I wouldn't rule out ever dating someone shorter than me. My experience is the first thing I have to do when dating a taller woman is trying to get her to feel at ease dating someone shorter than me. So at least if I ever date someone shorter than me we are already past this point and we concentrate on the important things that make up our relationship.
