All women welcome

well behaved male visitors from the Staunch Ally are welcome in the stableyard but not across the threshold of the main building

ooops. posted too soon

there ye go

You'll have to change that to 6" inches' height difference, as that has pretty consistently been the difference between average male and female heights in the UK.

It's my world, I can stick to 5" if I choose!! Waaaah < stamps foot in the style of all the best dictators>

nah, sorry, not having that

I have to be mean. Make it 5 1/2".

Nope, 5" stays. Otherwise us poor tall women have a much reduced pool of men. You shorties will always find someone taller!

I'm 5'7½" (the half inch is very important!) and I support you, Fuzzy. Personally I prefer a smaller height difference so I don't crick my neck, but no more than 5" sounds perfect.

Oh.

I'm 5'7 (and a half)", so relatively tall for a woman.

DH is 6'3". He's a walrus, if you're interested.

And he's all MINE.

Very much looking forward to the image of a lioness defending her walrus from a tall puffin and assorted riffraff.

Tall riffraff.

Damn, I've been rumbled. I should have known someone here would see through my clever ruse!

When I met him he was wider than he is now, so this is like a before and after picture.

Puffin brought other tall puffins. But AI couldn't make them taller than me and my walrus.

@MyrtleLion Mr Magpie is 5'10", if we average out both our husbands then the 5" rule is preserved, I think? Just don't let Fuzzy know about our creative statistics <<<<sssshhhh>>>>

Rumbled? You actually wrote I'm a plant scientist! That's not exactly top undercover spywork, now is it?. You obviously thought that being a spy meant wearing sharp plumage and saying 'The name is Complex. Magpie Complex' with a slight Scottish accent. You're fired!

Boooooooo!

Ah, but it could have been a double bluff!

Mr Myrtle before and after

What's this 'averaging out of husbands' business? Does it involve putting your car keys into a bowl? I fear the Tone is being Lowered at the Bluestocking

Purely hypothetical, I assure you! No car keys involved. Or bowls.

Well, I'm not joining in. DH doesn't even drive! 😁

That's the walrus in the Horniman Museum! They didn't know what it looked like so they stuffed it all, because they didn't know it had wrinkles.

It is sort of a good representation of his size though 🤣

No matter what I tried, I couldn't get puffins bigger than Myrtle or her walrus. This one tickled me though 🤣

Ha ha ha, look at that dinky walrus! 😂

I'm 5'7" and DH is (or used to be - he's 82 now so he's shrunk a bit) 6'4" so we break the 5" rule I'm afraid. His DD is 6'1" and seems to have had a fair number of partners around the same height. Her adult DD is about 5'10" though so trending back towards the average. My boys are both taller than their dad was, who was just under 6', but my DD is a couple of inches smaller than me - pretty much her DGM's height.

My mum was 5'8" too, but shrunk a bit with old age. She was horrified when a journalist described her in print as a "small lady".

That's disappointing. I was hoping for a car-keys-in-bowl husband-swap orgy, and as I don't have a husband, I was going to nick all your cars😆
Oh well...
