I would say I am not attractive simply because of the lack of double-takes let alone first glances. Bald, yes, but what hair I do have is kept short. None of that Donald Trump combover crap. Fit? Not overweight and in shape but not an athlete.

Apparently, not a winning package.
Confidence. You gotta have that certain something. How can you possibly have confidence or appear attractive when you are so hung up on your height? The answer is that you can't.

Your height is a non issue. Much like peoples opinions on who is fat and who is thin. One persons trash is another persons treasure. There will always be someone out there with an intense attraction to your person. It is just a matter of time. Be patient and have faith. Things will turn out for you you'll see!

EXACTLY a point I made earlier

There are those vapid airheads out there who are so shallow that they are foolish enough to reject a great guy based on height alone.

But WHY would a great guy want someone like that anyway? Good riddance!

Sorry, you don't understand. I am not the one who's hung up on height. I like my height - wouldn't want to be tall. And confidence isn't an issue either. The issue is that I, along with many other short men, are simply passed over DUE to height, looks, and the assumptions that go along with a lack of height and/or looks. Most short men are automatically dismissed without a fair shake. THAT is the issue.

So now you finally admit that looks play a role! That's exactly what I said earlier and you ignored the post where I used myself as an example.

Hey to be fair those airheads are doing the rest of the women out there a great service too by passing up a potentially great catch.

Yes, so if a man is short AND ugly he's royally screwed.

What exactly do you feel that discussing this is going to do to resolve that issue? To be frank there are plenty of women who will pass a short man over but that is their loss and while it isn't politically correct it is the cold, hard facts and I don't see what can be done about it without a sweeping change in human nature and what is perceived as desirable traits in our mates.

Well, now, let's be honest here. The 'great catch' apparently has to be above 5'9" - with eleven exceptions - according to our fellow C-D posters. Right?

And I mentioned how guys don't have to be 6 feet tall. Facial symmetry > height.
