YES! Just because this form needs ANOTHER height/weight thread Let's keep this to a simple poll and no long arguments...yeah right!

Definition of "difficult":

By "difficult" I mean a person needs to put in significantly extra effort than someone who does not have this impediment. It also means that by putting in an average amount of effort desired results will not be obtained.

simple poll? no.

i agree with multiple answers:

I am a man and I think dating is difficult for guys at or under 5'7
I am a man and I think dating is NOT difficult for guys at or under 5'7
I am a man and I think dating is difficult for women who are overweight (not obese)
I am a man and I think dating is NOT difficult for women who are overweight (not obese)

there are short men for whom dating is difficult, and there are short men for whom dating is not difficult. Same for fat women.

It's all in the mind. I know men 5'4 to 5'8 who never have problems getting dates. All but two men I've ever dated were 5'6 to 5'8. It's all in the mind and the way you carry yourself. If you think your height will hold you back, you will not disappoint yourself. Thoughts are made manifest so choose them wisely. Or, rather, control them.

I am a man and since I am 6'1' I haven't the slightest idea of how hard it is or isn't for a man 5'5 or shorter..I will say though, that I prefer my women at least 5'5 or taller. You can call me shallow, but when a girl is too short, it seems to me they have no where to grow but out...You get me..

Oh yeah. Gotcha. I've never seen an over weight woman of 5'7 or above.

Actually I changed it to 5'5, because 5'7 is a little tall for a women. I know what your saying. There are big girls in all heights. But (and I'm being brutally honest) it seems that when I see short girls (really short) they seem to get big when they age. I'm sorry and don't mean to offend, but that's been my experience. That is not to say that there aren't many exceptions. But if your taller, there is more room for the weight to go..And I don't really think that I'm shallow for having preferrences. We all have them. I'm just being honest.. I like taller girls. That's just me..I love long legs on a women...I am an arse-leg man.

Weight gain is alot more evident on a shorter girl.I know my daughter is only 5ft and just a 10lb weight gain on her makes her look heavier then 20lbs on me 5'5!!The only good thing about weight issues is one can lose lbs but you can't grow!!

Not a simple poll. Two independant topics with the ability to choose one choice.

Being 6' I can't answer the height question. Have no problem dating a woman with some extra weight as long as she has other things going on: Cute, proportional and good attitude are important to me.

Well when you put it that way.... But some of us shorties work hard to stay in shape. And that makes it easier for some guys who like us shorties to maneuver us over bigger women in certain extra carricular activities.
