So, that I guess would be a good stopping point.

But I can't help but want to analyze how this particular group of people and their type arrive at their subconscious conclusions about me, and make the subconscious decision that I don't fit in. Which is where I started this thread, on my height.

Ok, so we have established that there may be more to me that is turning the group off, or that perhaps I am self limiting. I shouldn't expect a wholehearted welcome by a bunch of strangers without some gradual getting to know period over several happenstance meetings, regardless of my height or looks, or whatever. But there does seem to be a "first impression effect" that says looks play a bigger role than personality. And if that isn't good, the future happenstance meetings will not exactly be an open door.

The part that I need to learn is, that's OK. If that's how they are, then why would I want to be friends with them anyway! I just want to be myself, and if that isn't good enough in personality OR in looks, then I'll just move on!
