I don't get what the fuss is about. Everyone has different variables of some sort they would prefer / want in another person as a partner. Some are overly specific and unrealistic. Personally, I would think everyone with a vested interest in finding a suitable mate / partner would find knowing this kind of information up front to be beneficial rather than wasting their time *hoping* for some other variable to make them of interest.

It's analogous to anyone with certain qualifiers narrowing their potential pool. I'd rather know someone doesn't like guys who are bald than not. It let's me know for whatever reason they find a bald headed man scary / turn off. I move on and don't expend wasted energy.

So for height it's the same thing why the angst? Move on and get on and about with your life and stop worrying about how someone may perceive your OLD profile and try meeting people in real life to notice / see other traits.

I like kinesthetic beauty which is a combination of things that includes small to large in size but is scaled to the individuals frame (displacement) and comportment. It can be a thin woman with negligible breast to taller thicker women with higher BMI if they are fit for their frame and move well. The individual 'parts' don't rank high but the holistic overall fitness for their typology does in my preference.

Attractiveness to men is primarily a reproductive fitness assessment.
Attractiveness to women is a combination of a few things (status, physical, income, other values their sphere of friends finds of importance, etc...) at various levels of priority based on the individual woman.

As for a "certain" height and 'dating', I've dated women from 4'10 to about my height - I'm 6'2. When I used OLD for a few years about 10 years ago I didn't use height as qualifier, although outliers have never been attractive to me (shorter than 4'8 or taller than 6'6. People who are overly fixated on height with no range likely have some sort of issue, so I'd rather know that than not.


For example I might be in their narrow 'height' range but whenever I saw a laundry list of narrow parameters I knew to avoid as that sort of person has IMO a poor concept of what to find in partner / mate and sounds more like they are buying an item than finding a life mate.

Life isn't fair and that's just how the big wide world is.

For every woman that likes taller guys there are plenty that aren't as strict about it.

No ones should have to conform in what they like because it might offend someone.

Yes pretty much agree I was mainly giving my perspective, on the term shallow, which gets Thrown around too loosley at times.

Same with racist, sexist, for that matter.

I thought that was just a man's "natural tendency."
Yes men can be just as shallow as women, if not more. But in different ways.

Myself included.

Average-looking or unfortunate-looking individuals also have no control over their looks, apart from cosmetic surgery. Are you holding it against a woman you're not interested in pursuing because you deem she's a "four"? It's a lot like that.

If a guy wasn't interested in me because I wasn't a size 6, oh well, there are others out there that are a better fit.
See my post two posts above.

But I don't agree to a point on your second point.

Diet, getting a good amount of sun, can improve beauty.

Diet can improve skin, hair. Fitness. Lots of girls would look much better if they lost 20+ pounds and better for their health.

But my main point was defining being shallow, rather than to justify it.

Diet can't fix everything. It doesn't fix bone structure and various features. I'm not talking about acne, and some people can do just about everything to fix these easier to fix cosmetic issues and still struggle with acne scars and such.

Not really; racist and sexist stuff is very easy to identify and not justifiable.

Being shallow is also easy to define, but it doesn't have to be justified.
