Oddly they don't seem to make it easy to determine the overall average (including those pesky other races). Not sure why. Also, wouldn't 64.something inches be 5 foot 4 (and something)? I'm no math whiz, but something seems sketchy about those conversions.
As opposed to the average male American woman's height?

Dammit. I was almost nearly "average height" until this stupid chart. Time to go out and get some seriously slutty spike heels.

It just seemed to me like you were one of those "he doesn't deserve the spotlight because he won that show" types. While I think he is a shitty singer (don't like his boring ballads), I wouldn't avoid his album if I liked his songs simply because he was on the show. That's all.

And I'll help you reach those sausages if you ask nicely.

They've been dating not so long (a couple of months?) and she's just not all that into him. Not unlike the situation presented here recently by another enquiring mind, the dude's birthday is this weekend and she had made plans to cook him birthday dinner. She's prepared to go through with this (the dinner thing), but thinks it's probably better to just call it off beforehand.

The question... (she acknowledges how junior-high-school this is, but whatever -- I told her I knew the perfect place to get the answer to junior-high-type questions) is, what's her "lead-in"? Just launch into "I don't want to date anymore?"

Board, don't fail me now!!!
Oh my God, I think I'm dating your friend! My birthday is this weekend! Oh boy, I'm good at this.

First:

Sweetheart, let's talk.

About what? Well, I don't see this going anywhere.

Why? Because I honestly don't feel as strongly as I should, and its not something I can help. Sorry, really.

Don't worry, I've wanted her to do this for some time, so its all cool.

Wow, whudda thunk it.

Hello

Justin Timberlake and Brittany Spears do a version of "Why Can't I Touch It" that's better than the original. But why they let Ed McMahon do "Orgasm Addict" I do not know.

I figured barely's mom bought it for her act. she is an older lady and can't shake it as fast. A nice loungey ballad would be good for a woman of her age.

Just an FYI and for no other reason, Clay has been doing the TV circuit promoting his new disc (why do they call them albums?) He was on Leno the other night, and the song he sang sounded a lot better than the crap they made him sing on the show.

one of my profs said she was known as a grade-grubber. she wheedled a gentleman's b+ in an english writing course into an a. sounds about right.

i would post rumors about her sex life, but that would be both ungentlemanly and completely made up.

If she has a date to cook him dinner, she should keep the date. She cannot cancel the birthday dinner plans because (i) you don't do that unless there is a death in the family (preferably your own) and (ii) it wouldn't leave him with enough time to make alternate birthday plans, and dumping someone in such a way that they are stranded alone to contemplate it on their birthday is really shitty.

She should not break up with him on his birthday. That is obviously a shitty move. Even if done after a goodbye fuck.

She should not break up with him before his birthday, because it would make the dinner, which must be followed through on, uncomfortable.

If she nevertheless really feels the need to break up with him before the birthday dinner, she should do so and then say "if you want to cancel the plans for your birthday, I'll understand," and accept a "no, we'll have dinner as planned" with a show of enthusiasm.

In any event, the way to break up with him is just to say "I've enjoyed our time together, but I'm afraid this just isn't going to work romantically. I hope we can still remain friends." Under no circumstances should she offer any explanation for why it won't work. (They always ask, and there is never an acceptable answer. Certainly not one that the dumped wants to hear. If you offer a non-crushing reason they tend to try to argue, requiring an escalation of reasons from the dumper, which leads only to regret on all parts.) She should just repeat "I'm sorry, I just can't," "I'm sorry, it just won't," and if pressed and desperate, "It's nothing you did, so there is nothing you can do about it," and, ultimately, "I'm afraid I just can't, and I can't discuss it with you further, there's nothing to say."

This is why breakups are, in fact, better handled in letters. It avoids the "but why? Is it something I did?" scene.
