I am realizing, although I've know for quite some time deep down, that body size and shape matter when forming friendships with people of the same sex, but not when forming friendships with people of the opposite sex. HOW INTERESTING IS THAT!!!

I am 5'6", athletic, and an all around fun guy. Everyone at works loves working with me. But the guys are all 4" to 10" taller than me. As a result, we don't hang out. There are some that I KNOW are not as "in" as I am, but then I come to work on Monday, and they are talking about something they did over the weekend. I just laugh at the story, and don't put any guilt on them or anything. They have no idea that I would have liked to be included.

I now know, it is due to my height. No, it's not in my head. My emails, text messages, etc all point to great friendships. But when a 5'-6" guy walks along side a 6'1" guy, it is just odd and uncomfortable for some reason. That's why groups of friends gravitate together based on looks and physical size and shape.

The part I find really interesting is, DATING doesn't seem to follow this trend. Anyway, I just thought I would blog about it here.
