Please note, to avoid frustration upon first meeting: She has to be okay with the fact that the good Lord exercised a severe (and, to my mind, elegant) economy when He proportioned my frame. What I’m trying to say is that, by turn-of-the-millennium U.S. standards, I’m a tiny, Hobbitty little man. Not that my lack of height bothers me; I’m perfectly happy to be, like Jerusalem, compactly built. But I get the sense that it might be a deal-breaker for some.
The whole comment has been making me laugh for two days.

Had this been in your brother's profile... I might not have become your sister-in-law ... But, man did it make me laugh.
No one would accuse John of being tiny and compactly built! But this is such an well-turned phrase that I bet it would appeal to some independent of their opinions on masculine height.
I'm of average height for a man but love tall women. Unfortunately, most tall women want a tall man. So I can relate to this guy even though I do not resemble a hobbit.

Best Tuesday ever!
