Your circle of friends are all female? Come on, man. You need some male friends.

Interesting. As I explained, that wasn't the issue. Nonetheless, I recognize that if Robin Williams was making a joke, it would have been ok. Across a computer screen, it isn't registering.

Not at all. Just at this particular party, it was mostly my female friends there (and a few guy friends too).

OP - did you go off on your friend Jane about what she had said regarding your height, in front of your GF? your post didn't make it clear.

if you did, it's possible your GF saw that as some sort of hidden complex? i dunno...

Your friend obviously didn't like your joke or she wouldn't have responded like that. You weren't dumped because of your friend, so you can stop being a little girl and acting like it's her fault. What are you a 15 year old high school girl? Good lord dude, grow a pair.

I bet your gf had been waiting to dump you for a while regardless.

1) I don't think it's a problem you have a lot of female friends. My current romantic interest has mainly female friends, and it's not threatening in the least.

2) Joking about having sex with one of them was questionable, but whatever. I don't think this was much of a relationship ender.

3) This was going nowhere to begin with. If this girl was turned off because one of your friends went on a rant about short men, that's some pretty shallow affection. That she didn't come to your defense is telling, 'cause I would've ripped anyone ragging on my man a new one.

hey i also have to agree with pear martini and the others, u joking with jane saying "ok lets go upstairs" while may have been funny and your girlfriend laughed, she was probably thinking about it long after the joke was said.

on the other hand, if she has the sense of humor ure saying she does and laughs things off (like laughing at the upstairs joke)she couldve said "Jane ure like, 10 feet tall everyone is gonna be short to u!!" or ure gf couldve told jane, "hey jane, when ure 5 foot 1, 5'5 is tall!! "

i understand why ure mad and it sux to have friends put u down (even if its unknowingly)especially in front of other ppl.

i have to agree with ruth4truth, with friends like that who needs enemies? noone needs people in their life who are gonna critique them and put them down whenever they can. especially in the company of others.

but i can see why jane insists that she was doing you a favor..janes argument sounds like "if your girlfriend really cares about you then she wouldnt let your height get in the way of your relationship" maybe gf didnt like the sexual nature of the "lets go upstairs" and then u defending your genetics to your friend on y she wouldnt have a baby with u!

now for your gf, nxt time u talk to her just dont bring up the convo from that nite, or talk about your height at all. if she keeps acting distant just ask her if somethings bothering her and if she wants to talk about it. maybe coincidently, something else is going on with her that just so happened around the time of that jane situation/

also did u go off on your friend jane in front of your gf?

good luck!!
