That's one thing about the cruisers- seat height is often lower than a lot of other bikes. Too bad I don't like cruisers.

That wouldn't have anything to do with your size, it's because females are just basically scary.

My missus scares the hell out me sometimes.

And my mum still scares me, and she has been dead for about 5 years.

Or is it just me...........

No, where in my post was I rude and disrespectful?

Was it my point that I find the fairer sex scary.

Or was it the reference to to my missus or dear old mother.

Either way, I stand by my post.

My missus can scare me by looking at me in that special way, and my dear old mother, all 5'3" of her, was a force of nature that you didn't want get on the bad side of.

I can remember, quite fondly, in a weird sort of way, her chasing me around with a wooden spoon, swinging wildly and occasionally breaking it over my head, I did deserve it, usually, and I believe it has made me a better person, call me Pavlov's dog, or even more accurately "Little Albert".

Plus no matter what my old man could dish out, having my mum chasing me around with a wooden spoon was so much worse.

I did not mean to offend.

I too approach women cautiously. I prefer to stop at the level of a good friendship.

Indeed. In fact my longest lasting friendships are with women.

Mine, too.

I always find it interesting when people claim men and women can't be friends, though. Because I certainly have good male friendships.

Friendships are based on mutual respect, not sex of friends, etc..
