Guest guest Posted November 17, 1999 Report Share Posted November 17, 1999 I think I'm going to be the only moron to ask this...but...what does BP stand for? I always thought it stood for Bi-Polar (atleast in my psych class they used those terms).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 1999 Report Share Posted November 17, 1999 Hey, I guess it's time for me to put in my 2 cents. My first wife was a bp. We met at work, which was our common ground. She did have another disabilty, so we had empathy toward each other. Due to problems mainly on my part, she bailed after 8 years and went back home to mom. I am now sharing my life with a wonderful lp woman. We do have that in common, but that is not what makes us work. I have found someone with a nebulous mind, an incredible heart and the guts to call me on my bs. She also tells me to turn over when I snore unfortunatly. For me both relationships were/are based on the person not the stature. I can empathise with bp/lp relationships because you do get alot of questions, dumb remarks ect. But, we also get more than our share in our lp/lp relationship. So I will shut up now and go back to finding a part for the aircondioner.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 1999 Report Share Posted November 17, 1999 To answer the question of LP men with average size women, my mom and dad fall into that demographic. My LP brother is still single - because he is one of those men who won't commit (but that is for a different discussion group) - he has had 3 serious relationships, all with average size (drop dead gorgeous) women. I think it is all about finding someone with whom you are compatible. EVERY single person has a hard time meeting that special someone. My last 2 cents for the day.

My last 2 cents for the day. ----------------------------------- Ok here is my story. I am a LP married to a BP for twenty years. My dad was an LP married to a BP Both brothers were LP, but only one married My brother an LP married to an BP My nephew was a LP with the same structure as his dad My niece is a " small " person, short but much more proportionate My dad's brother was an LP but his sister was a BP My dad's father was a LP but dad's mom was a BP My grand dad's sister was a LP with a different type of dwarfism. Turns out the family has two forms of dwarfism in it, and a bone disorder (which my niece has, she has some " dwarf " characteristics i.e. shortened hands etc, but she is not short limbed, long trunk OR short trunk, long limbed.. as the rest of the family is - because of the two forms of dwarfism) Now, aren't you glad you asked?

Guest guest Posted November 18, 1999 Report Share Posted November 18, 1999 Hi Ami! I'm an average person married to a LP man (Mark McGimsey). We do get a lot of stares etc. We live in a large college town so it seems to be most prevalent right around the fraternity rush season. Mark has a big personality and a rapier-like wit. (Fred Short's posts sound a little like Mark.) People tend to forget that he's short. He does a great take-off of the Cyrano de Bergerac scene.... " What, you think THAT's a short joke?! THIS is a short joke... " He can also immediately put people who are the slightest bit uncomfortable at ease. We also get some good laughs out of the fact that his head & my BP (using the previously mentioned sewing definition) are about the same height. When we got married we looked & looked for a cake topper with a man shorter than a woman. Of course, we couldn't find one. We tried to find separate people of different sizes. That didn't work either. Everyone suggested we cut the legs of the male figure! We ended up w/ a heart. In my father's toast at our wedding he talked about his favorite theory... ALL men are really 6 feet tall. There are a few unfortunate souls who grow to be larger than 6 feet tall - they, of course, have to give up that height elsewhere. He then pointed out for the record he was 5'6 " tall. He then turned to Mark, called him son, & told our guests that Mark was going to be able to leave his body to the sonian! Never understood the desire for the " tall, dark, & handsome " stereotype.... Jo Grady Columbia, MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 1999 Report Share Posted November 24, 1999 I was involved for about two years with a VERY big BP - like 6' and 180 lbs. We got along great (and probably sobered up quite a few drunks who saw us together<bg>), but split because of my tendency to be too emotionally dependent. But it was great while it lasted. Good thing there wasn't a photographer around at " certain times, " though. I'll bet those photos would have been " very interesting " <veg>.
