"I'm not picky about my partner's height, but a girl who's taller than me... but, up until now, I've never met one"
My first love was when I was in the lower grades of elementary school. She was reserved rather than lively, and she wore glasses. When I think about the people I've liked up until now, and this girl was like that, too, I'd have to say that mild-mannered girls are my type.
For example, when I was a student, rather than girls who were really into their sports clubs, I liked girls who were into liberal arts, who spent their days off at home, reading comics, watching anime, playing video games and stuff, that kind of homebody type is good. When I don't have any plans, I usually stay at home.
I've never been popular with girls, so I've only had one girlfriend. That was when I was at university. I think it was hard when I got into wrestling, and it was kinda difficult for us to go out... that sort of thing. So, there wasn't any heartbreak.
But, kinda recently... two or three years ago. There was someone I thought I liked, so I told them how I felt, and although we met a few times after that, I didn't get a response from them, and we drifted apart. They weren't interested in wrestling at all.
People ask me about height all the time, but even though I'm two metres tall, it's not like I'm only into tall people. On the other hand, if they're very short, we'd look weird together. I'm not picky about my partner's height, but I'd be surprised if I met a girl who's taller than me. But, up until now, I've never met one.
