    There are significant differences between the two. Real’s got wrinkles and sunburnt arms. So the guy was right, the drawing isn’t realistic.

    That said, we shouldn’t expect drawings to be realistic. If you wanted realistic, why aren’t you watching a live-action film?

      And that’s okay. That’s one of the points for fiction.

      It was either just today or yesterday, at some point in the near past, where I read a post of someone bemoaning on reddit (I know I know. Skewer me all you want) the trope of the tall boyfriend coupled with short girlfriend. Got down voted and plenty of post saying that’s real also.

      Anecdotally, I can confirm that’s how my brother-in-law and my sister are lol.

        I have a friend who is 6’7, and he has on more than one occasion dated women shorter than I am, at 5’2. His last gf before the current one, who is 5’9, was 5’0

        If I kneel on a bar stool, such that the bar stool replaces my lower legs for standing height, I can look him in the eye. It’s unnervingly open that high up for someone with a permanent tit-level view.

        I can’t even imagine the back pains, but yeah some people are into that.

    Well in theory in a decade I could become a hot Grandma but hear me out: box of chocolate cookies instead.
