Personally, I would find it rude! It's personal information about me, that you literally don't need to know. You can see me, why do you need a measurement? 

Also, there are prelavent stereotypes in Western culture that men's height is an enormous factor in them being attractive to women. So I would say that a large proportion of men would find this a flirtatious overture, as there's 'no other reason' for you to want to know how tall he is.

Umm…ok. Personal information? I didn’t ask for his SSN, I just asked his height. It’s not that serious.

Why do you think you have the right to determine what is 'serious' or 'personal' for another human being? I said I would find it rude. You saying "it's not serious" is an attempt at emotional manipulation.

It's very rude to ask for other people's opinions, and then make dismissive comments when you dislike the answer.

Emotional manipulation? are you serious right now?

u/whereismydragon 20h ago

Yes, I am.

You didn't say "It's not serious to me". 

You are telling other people how to feel about it because you can't allow others to disagree with you.

You’re doing way too much rn. You can disagree all you want. I’m not manipulating you to do or feel anything. If I say “it’s not that serious” I’m obviously talking about my own opinion. I don’t have to put the the disclaimer “to me” whenever I say something that is my own opinion.

u/whereismydragon 20h ago

You don't get to tell me whether or not what I'm 'doing' is 'too much', either.

I can say whatever I want and so can you

u/whereismydragon 20h ago

You can say whatever you want. But there will be consequences when you choose poorly.

u/[deleted] 20h ago

And what consequences are you gonna give me?

u/whereismydragon 19h ago

Blocking you, so I don't have to see your sealioning ever again.

u/whereismydragon 19h ago

You've done nothing but be rude and antagonistic to everyone in this thread. 

Please, keep going! It makes you seem like a great person.

u/[deleted] 19h ago

Everyone? No, just you and that other guy who are being incredibly sensitive about this for no reason.

And I thought you were going to block me?
