I like your rules. I am 6'2" tall, and people have always commented on my height. I was 6' tall in the 8th grade and I hated, absolutely hated, people who asked me how tall I was. I already felt like a freak, and having random people comment about it made it worse. If i reacted in a negative way they would get offended and usually offered a comment how they always wished they were tall. Maybe they did, but I never saw what that had to do with me. I certainly didn't give them the right to ask intrusive questions about me. Since then I have been extremely cautious about commenting on people's appearance. You never know what people are sensitive about.
