Why we need accommodations

As I mentioned, I cancelled both my eHarmony and Match.com accounts.  I created a second email account (at Yahoo!) in the hopes that someday I would be ready to try eHarmony again.

Unfortunately, that may never be.

As I mentioned before, neither dating service cares in the slightest if height is important to you.  A great question, therefore, would be "Then why does eHarmony ask?"  The answer: "Because they pander to the most average people imaginable."

eHarmony has many different divisions that are specific to race—African-American, Asian, Jewish—as well as ones for homosexuals and the elderly.  Why, then, can't it provide such for tall and short dating?  Both kinds of services exist in different places on the Internet; for every TallFriends.com there is a ShortPassions.com.

Arianne Cohen, columnist and the author of The Tall Book: A Celebration of Life from on High, is 6' 3".  Her partner (as of then, anyway) is 7' 2".  Who among men of average height would ever want to go out with a woman over 6'?  And if you are legally a giant, how comfortable would you be marrying, say, a diminutive Asian woman?  They clearly need each other.

As it happens, I did register for TallFriends.com, but they weren't as thorough in finding good matches as eHarmony.  And just like the other dating websites, they required a subscription to do mostly anything.  I "paid" for a $999.95 subscription - more than I had in checking at the time, and more than I will for possibly years - because they reset it to that option every time I hit my browser's "back" button.

Visa Fraud Prevention Services put a hold on my card, leading to its cancellation for the second time in 3 months.  And my mom not only made me cancel my account, she made me blacklist myself.

Now I can never re-register on the leading site for tall singles.

Since I began work on this blog, I've become very afraid that I'll live my life alone.  I'm also a born loser when it comes to blogging—only one of my dozen or so blogs has any followers (and even then just one)—but I NEED all you people reading this to take me seriously.  Maybe by the time I find someone, eHarmony will, indeed, offer dating specific to both ends of the height spectrum.  And it starts with YOU!

For what I'm looking for in a woman, my search is narrowed significantly by height alone.  It will get even more narrow as I explain more about myself and my compatabilities.  If anyone out here cares, keep reading and you'll see what I mean.
