Area Woman Still Single Due To Her Height

Twenty-five year old Francine Lorenz has a good job, a well-appointed spacious apartment, and is in excellent health. She is intelligent, witty, and fashionable. She has a figure that most women would kill for and a face that makes men stop and take notice. Then why is Francine alone?

Upon reflection, Ms. Lorenz suspects that her lonely state is due to her height. She stands 6'4" and she feels that men are intimidated by her stature. "Some men can’t stand being shorter than a woman. They must think that because I'm so tall, I would dominate them or being seen with me would make them look weak. Don't ask me to explain what the (expletive deleted) problem is with tall guys. They're just as (expletive deleted) bad.
"All my friends keep telling me, 'Francine, it's not you. It’s them.' Of course they’re all normal sized. What would they know anyway? Half of them are skanks who only have a guy because they're easy. The other half are morons who settled for any guy with more than three teeth."

"I don't know what it is about me. I keep myself in great shape. I smell great. I have no trouble talking to anyone. But, I never get asked out. I mean never. I have great platonic relationships with lots of men, but they don't ask me out. When I ask them out, they tell me they don't want to ruin a good thing. Isn't that the biggest line of (expletive deleted) you've ever heard?" complains the leggy blonde. "If I had a (expletive deleted) dime for every time I heard that one, I'd be as rich as Oprah (expletive deleted) Winfrey. It's all true. You can ask my friends."

Her female "friends" describe Francine as cruel and vindictive. They call her a "bitch on stilts". They relate times when Francine embarrassed them in public or deliberately tried to seduce their boyfriends. Francine brushes these stories off as her friends just being "(expletive deleted) jealous". "If I wasn't with them, men wouldn’t give them a second look. They're lucky if they even get a guy to throw them a dog bone, they're so ugly," says Francine. "Still, we love each other like sisters."

Ms. X (not her real name), Francine's "best" friend, says, "She actually has two notebooks with lists of the guys that she meets. One of them she calls her Prospect list and the other she calls the Dead Men list. When she gets turned down by the prospects they go on the Dead Men list. I think there are a couple of guys on the Dead Men list that have gone missing. I wouldn't be surprised if she did kill them. I hope they just moved away though."

The men in her life were afraid to talk about her. One young man in his mid-20s, speaking under condition of anonymity, had this to say. "She was after me for weeks. She kept calling me and leaving messages about what she wanted to do with me and at first it was kind of sexy, but then when I didn't return her calls she started swearing at me and threatening to vandalize my car. She's pretty hot and all, but she's a psycho, man."

Ms. Lorenz works as the office manager of a local consulting firm. Her co-workers describe Francine as cruel and vindictive. Many have obtained restraining orders against her. Despite coming into contact with many eligible bachelors at her place of business, she cannot understand why there are not men willing men to date her. "I've even explored some possibilities with married men, but I must be too tall for them too. They tell me all about how their wives are either neglecting them or they aren't attractive any more because they are letting themselves go. The same old (expletive deleted) about the magic being gone. So I practically throw myself at these guys and they all turn me down too, even the ugly ones. I can't even get (expletive deleted) by the (expletive deleted) janitor. And he's at least 6'5"."
