[@GeorgeNachajon]

I once had a girlfriend who was shy, and watching some of Brittany's interviews I can tell that she was a little shy at times. You see how she turns her face hiding it towards the back wall at the 8:56/7 mark, that is an authentic gesture of feeling shy for a moment. She seemed to be a good girl. R.I.P.

[@oicsaywhat]

[@gmann6269]

Her career was waning before she died, she was in a couple of crappy TV/direct-to-DVD films. Everything was going downhill for her, her health (her mental health was probably poor as well), her career, her personal life (being married to that dodgy bloke). She might have had a comeback, who knows.

[@edwardschmitt5710]

Started with her trip to blockbuster with MTV on here. I miss her so much like so many others. She really pulls you in to a happy fun place. She was having FUN with Conan. She got him to play a height game and leave his chair. I imagine being away somewhere with her and she just has you cracking up at everything. She could go from that to oh so s serious while acting as well, somehow she knew the dark but kept herself in real life in the light. RIP-gone so soon from us.

[@memegazer]

saw that vid too yesterday

[@josephhaas7636]

I saw the block buster video about two weeks ago and I said to myself ,damn who's this sexy woman. Watched it 3 times. I was hooked on her. It wasn't until 2 days ago that I saw a tribute to her that I discovered who she really was. I was so bummed that she had passed away. Such a wonderful soul .I hope all that bashed her will burn in hell or be held accountable and receive all and more what's coming to them. RIP, MY BEAUTIFUL ONE ❤.

[@DougUnfunny]

Breaks my heart that we lost her too soon. I fan casted her as Harley Quinn before the DC Movies put Margot Robbie, she was talented actress and did voice over work on king of the Hill and I think should would have pull off a great Harley Quinn voice like in the movie Clueless. RIP Brittany Murphy

[@chucksolutions4579]

I was referring to the long dead actress thinking that she was unique for preferring tall men@@YFL.111 reading your name, have you ever heard of "storge?" from the book the four loves? anyways, I used to work in hospitals with nurses and could not believe how much they thirsted over this 7 foot tall scribe. They flirted outlandishly with him and talked about him like he was a delicious item, while admitting he was not particularly attractive just TALL. I'm 6'3" and it was a little weird. women like really tall men, I'm not saying every woman but there are no healthy men over 6'6" who are incels

[@YFL.111]

@@chucksolutions4579 storge? No I dnt know what it is but now I am curious I will google it as well as the book. Agape is not my name is a concept that I like, its an old greek word used by christians in old times which means unconditional love from God or the unconditional love people may feel for one another. I don't exactly know how much 6 feet is 😅 because I am from Europe and we don't count with feet 🦶 I always though it sounds funny to count with feet. I guess 6 feet would be something like 1.80 meters and 7 feet would be way more than that which would be...2 meters? 😳 My brother is nearly 2 meters he always felt awkward, specially because he was like that already at 14/15 and felt like a giant. But yes height may bring a feeling of protection and women like that but I dnt think its the only important thing. I remember a guy I met he was so so tall but he had some kind of bad vibe in him he did not have a lot of women. Personally I never dated a guy who was taller than me ever in my life. They were not so much shorter but a bit, some centimeters. I am usually taller than everyone else in my country, so most guys are shorter than me it was never a problem to me.. I think believe it or not how a man looks like counts very little when it comes to women liking him or not. Its all about the energy. Maybe a tall guy has a great confidence and he thinks its about the height but its actually about the confidence he has because of it. Thats my theory
