About body type. It's neigh untranslatable so I won't try, but I give
the dutch and the translations between brackets.

If ever I'd fall for some one, as in a 'new master' or a 'new lover',
I was pretty clear that it had to be some one taller than me with
'overwicht' (superiority, domination). I found HMM. Who is my height
exactly and who has 'overgewicht' (is over weighted).

So evidently something on the wishlist went wrong. Must 've been
something in the translation too.
