Eira: "Hah! You know, it's great. I'm just tripping over all the guys trying to date me. Literally, considering they're usually half my size!"

"In all honesty though, guys tend to treat me either like the embodiment of attractiveness or some kind of ogre with very little in between. I'm big enough that most guys are afraid I'll step on them by accident, or at the very least make them look short by comparison which is something a lot of guys get all self-conscious over. When they get self conscious, they get stupid."

"Some of them just start insulting me for no reason for not being 'feminine' enough. Some flat out refuse to believe I'm a woman since I'm tall and strong, or 'don't look like a girl' or some crap. Some try to challenge me, convinced their testosterone can beat my training. Even the ones who are attracted act really... desperate. They don't see anything past the physical, and when I tell them I want more of a personal connection they loose interest. It's all so stupid..."

"Then there was Jacob. He was always polite and supportive. He was small, and loved how I used my strength to protect the weak. He was nervous and shy, and felt inspired by how I approached challenges. He loved everything about me. He loved who I was, and how I acted. He loved what I fought for, and what I did. He loved my mind, my soul..."

"...and the fact that I can crush a cinderblock with my thighs."

"Respectful guys like Jacob aren't exactly rare, but they're definitely not the majority."
