The women actually say, "Eww, you're too short"? They don't say, "you're not my type", or something vague, like "I don't think it would work"? Maybe because the guys ask for the reason? Women generally don't ask for a guy's reason for rejecting her. They just move on.
I've never had one of my girlfriends EVER say anything like that about a guys height. Maybe it's because I've had guys be extremely rude about mine and if they dared make fun of a guy for being too short or too tall they know I'd give them an earful. So, maybe they do it but just not around me.
I agree I think for the most part woman are more shallow on looks. Men may talk about really good looking girls but they seem to more willing to settle for a less good looking girl then a girl would with a man.

Nah, in almost every couple I see, the woman is more attractive than the man. I think it is very rare to see a very attractive man with an average woman, much more common the other way around.

Perhaps it just comes down to being choosy, vs. desperation? Men, one gathers, are more likely to be desperate - and therefore to accept a woman whom they would otherwise not regard to be attractive. Women, on the other hand, would rather be alone than to be with a man whom they regard to be insufficient for them. In any negotiation, the capacity to walk-away gives tremendous bargaining power. Women therefore have the luxury to be more overt about their criteria, and to relentlessly adhere to them. Were mens' bargaining-capacity just as good, they would be just as insistent on particular physical criteria.

I don't think women have that advantage. The friends I have who is a little chubby have a very hard time finding a boyfriend. No one is saying they are too fat, they just won't get approached.
I think it is easier for women in their 20s when many women are sleeping around and sharing the same men. But when they are actually settling down, I don't think it is any easier. There is a reason why many women get desperate in their 30s.

I agree, I think this is because mens hormones make having sex much more urgent in the younger years. This shifts as men get older and womens sex drives kick in. Unless the woman is really hot and can get younger hot guys they will be up the creek if they spent their youth playing games with men (which a lot of women do). They know they have the option to walk away because they simply don't need the sex like guys do and they will wait for something better as time slips away they loose market value and its game over.
I think its a dirty trick God played on us as humans.
