I guess if someone clearly stated that they would never be attracted to someone who wasn't a certain height - that could be construed as being prejudiced. But you are right in that we are all entitled to go for whatever it is we fancy. We can't change the people who don't want us - so it doesn't make sense to dwell on it. It also starts to become a crutch for every rejection and failure - "Well, they didn't want me because I'm short!" - when it could have been some other reason. And when you start to dwell on it - it starts to become a self fulfilling prophecy. The best thing to do is just look for the people that are attracted to you and have a positive attitude.
Same as the women/guys here who complain "I'm overlooked for being dark skinned/overweight/unattractive/too thin/flat chested!/too tall/too short/indian/asian/whatever"
Instead of complaining about those who don't want you, look for those who do.
Point is, preference is preference, and no preference is less or more shallow, less or morally correct than another. They're all the same. Someone somewhere isn't interested in you for whatever trait they don't like.

Okay, I really would like to get people's honest imput on this question, and I don't mean this as a form of self-pity or anything like that! This has been a subject that has intrigued me for the past couple of days and I wanted to hear about other people's personal experiences to gauge whether or not there is some truth to my musings lol. Which is worse when it comes to trying to attract members of the opposite gender: being a short man or an overweight woman? From the perspective of a 5'5" guy, it seems to me that men are more accepting of a woman's "overweight-ness," if you will, than women are of a man's lack of height. I mean, I see plenty of overweight women with decent-looking dudes, so I really don't understand why overweight women are so down on themselves all the time, feeling like they need to be "empowered" and what not by relentlessly being told that they are sexy regardless of their size and all that. Now, for the record, I have no problem with overweight women and I find some of them sexy from time to time, but where are the groups reassuring us short guys that we "are sexy regardless of our size?" I've personally encountered a fair number of overweight women who I've found somewhat appealing but who don't respond at all to my friendliness, and it just strikes me as kind of odd. Like, you demand that people overlook your physical shortcomings, but you're not about to overlook mine! I don't know, this is just something that has been pressing on me recently and I just had to get it out there! Thoughts?
Well, that makes me feel a little better LOL. How old are you?
:/ 19, you?
