The chattering a on a virtual forum or online dating site are hardly indicative of typical human behavior. And as I and many others and the majority of poll takers have informed you, most women don't have a problem dating shorter men. It isn't rare, it isn't counter to nature, it's just a deviation from a silly social norm.
No, I am against relegating an entire group of people to the status of sex toy based on a physical trait.
If you look at the celebrities. You will see that almost all have men taller.
How come there are so many threads started by guys who are short and are having trouble because of height?

Shockingly, celebrities are also a poor representation of typical human behavior. I imagine, yes, most couples of all levels of fame consist of a shorter woman with a taller man. This does not mean that it's our "brain chemistry" to seek such a pairing and does not mean that any god of any religion has deemed this the law of the land.
What it does mean is that the average man is taller than the average woman so statistics dictate you're more likely to find love with someone who fits this norm not because they fit it, but because there are just more out there that do. If you're a very tall woman or a very short man, you're more likely to find love with someone who doesn't fit the standard simply because there are fewer potential mates in the world that do.
It also means that our society has set this social norm which we may grow up believing is the way things are supposed to be and avoid deviating from the norm, but really this standard is completely arbitrary, as meaningless as our impression that women should have long hair and men should have short hair. There's nothing inherently masculine or feminine in hair length, we are just accustomed to an image presented to us and there's no inherent reason a man should be taller than his mate. Height or the lack there of is not a secondary sexual trait.
I was on a forum and there were men talking about other men, saying the short ones have penguin arms or whatever. I didn't see the point, but anyways this isn't brought up much on here but -- men sit around and make fun of shorter men all the time. It's not a 'sacred' topic to them and they should stop acting like it is.

I've noticed the same... in my experience FAR more men make fun of shorter guys than women do.
In fact, I can only remember one of my girlfriends ever complaining about short men and she's 6' tall...and currently dating a man whose 5'8 and couldn't be happier Of course, she had to 'work' on him for months because he refused to date her because of her height, but she finally broke him down.

that's another good point you mentioned. Some of the shorter men make a big deal about the taller women and need to be 'convinced.' So I don't think they are chomping at the bit over trying to get with all these taller women in the first place.
