I'm 5'7 and 1/2 and I can't recall it ever directly affecting my dating life. But hey, it's cool to whine about being short so women hate us and will never give us a chance!!!!!
I don't consider this short. I tend to gravitate towards men who are around my height (5'7" + 1/2), though any height will do. Short, tall, in-between, it's all good. Personality is key.
What is up with all this stupid threads? What is the point? All this does is give an outlet for bitter guys to come on here and bash women."YES! THAT'S TRUE! WOMEN ARE SHALLOWER THAN MEN! ALL WOMEN CARE IS LOOKS! IT ISN'T MY FAULT THAT WOMEN DON'T LIKE ME - I'M NOT TALL ENOUGH/MUSCULAR ENOUGH/HOT ENOUGH/ETC.!!!"
There is no point. Because here's the thing - every PERSON is different. For instance, I don't have a physical type. I never had preferences OR requirements for physical looks. Do I represent all women? No. NOBODY DOES!
Get over it.
Here, here, Dewdrop! I agree. These threads always turn into a back and forth, and in the end, get shut down by the moderators because the discussions turn into gender-bashing arguments.
I'm not sure why they keep popping up.
As a side note, I figure that if you're in a healthy, happy relationship, you wouldn't need/want to start a thread attempting to prove/disprove one generalization vs. the next (shortnblack this isn't directed to you personally but just a comment about these types of threads. No offense, sweety ).

I don't really consider myself that short, either. On the basketball court I've felt like a midget, but that's expected. But from some posts on this forum, guys under 6 feet tall are short and automatically going to have bad luck with women. It boggles the mind, and I've dated women from about 5'3 to 5'10.
Men get and go after woman they can afford and woman attract the best looking guy they can get by using there looks.
Id say thats accurate and why most couples are pretty evenly matched..Im guessing the people who say looks dont matter to them at all probably cant afford to be picky about looks so its not the case that theyre so much less shallow then the next person they just cant afford to be..

"Balding" is a very loose term. Roger Federer has a receded hairline, but looks good because he still has enough thick, wavy hair to style appropriately. Anderson Cooper has a quasi-combover that looks good on his sparkly light grey hair. Daniel Craig has lost like 60% of his hair on top, but still looks good. I think that most guys can lose 1/2 their hair on top and still look good if they style the remaining 1/2 well. The problem is when you lose almost all of it on top. That makes you look radically disfigured.
In summary, if you're 5'9"+ and haven't lose all you're hair, you can still look good as a guy.
I've been shaving my entire head since I was 25 and it never held me back.

I've seen many dozens, if not hundreds of profiles female friends have shown me, and never seen a "no fatties" in them. They do say someone in shape, which is a reasonable request if one is into physical pursuits. I see the 6' requirement in over 50% of female profiles.
Can you please provide the factual evidence you have to back up this claim? Are you sure its 90% and not 89%? How can you be sure its 90%? What if I'm 5 foot 8.5 inches tall? Does that mean that as I'm outwith the 5'8" range women will automatically find me attractive?
I think there's a definite point of inflection somewhere between 5'7" and 5'10". Of course this isn't down to an exact science. I'm just making general observations, and I threw the number 90% out there as an estimate.
Men have preferences and women have requirements. True or False?
A bit too black and white, since men also have requirements too.
