And I would reply the same… Being tall is very helpful, and I can’t imagine life otherwise. 🙂

Also… When I talk about being more gentle with girls in games that involve physical contact, I’m not referring to the extreme of football. In that case I wouldn’t play against a girl unless it was tag or something like that (and I don’t think most guys would). Even in a game like tag. With a guy I might not care how fast I’m running, and just smash into them not worrying (too much). With a girl I will be far more careful, trying not to smash into them, I will try to only tag her.

And I haven’t met guys that talk about this stuff… But I’m also not in places where this kind of conversation is brought up. I’m sure there are more.

Yes… I can understand your wish to take ’em on. And I think it would be wise for many girls to carry a knife, which I really hate to say (because of what is says about our world). And Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in the US doesn’t it? Yeah… That is scary.

Apple cider vinegar is great in salad dressing, btw!

And I so wish those were things practiced in our culture still. Here’s one to add on to that list… When walking down the sidewalk, he is on the side closer to the road. This is for two reasons. For one back when people threw their waste out the window, it would go farther and land on him instead of her. Second he is the shield for her, form the road.

And yes! It makes me so happy to see that kind of thing. Even when I’m with my mom, I’m gonna stay with her. And when someone stops to let us past, he is not only honoring my mom, but me as her protector. Also, he might get flack from his friends for that. So that makes me happy 🙂
