I think being a short man is a bigger obstacle to attractiveness. I am overweight (size 14) and I do not go unnoticed by chubby chasers. I have been involved with other men who do not claim to be chubby chasers but instead state that weight is just not a prominent qualifier for them except in extreme cases of emaciation or obesity. I am not saying that my weight does not limit my prospective dating pool, because it certainly does..but it can be overcome, which is what the OP asked.

Short man, fat woman..I think that we are all worthy of love just as we are and here's to hoping we will all find it!

You thought right, it is 5' 10". I voted fat woman but after looking at this picture I'm thinking I should've voted short man.

As for an impediment, I think being a fat woman is worse. Even when you do lose the weight if your skin doesn't bounce back and you have stretch marks you're still unattractive. So, you lost the weight and it really doesn't matter. I'd take being a short man over a fat woman any day.
Not where I work. They say nothing of chunkier girls but they sure do rag on the short guys...and these are some pretty short guys. There's two of them and man, it's non stop.

Oh yes..when I was in EMS endless jokes were cracked at the two short fellas' expense. Few people will playfully tease a woman about being overweight, because it's well-known to be a sensitive issue, but I wished people utilized a fraction of that consideration before ragging on men of shorter stature. Of course the short medics I worked with laughed it off, I only hope that it was because they genuinely were not bothered by the commentary and not because they withheld their reaction, but I am not so sure.

Some men will always find big, chubby or fat women attractive. A short man is always going to have problems attracting women.

A fat woman probably has more chances getting laid than a short dude.

I mean, what woman has a known fetish for short dudes? Never even heard of it.
any woman has a better chance of getting laid than any dude. a woman can walk into any bar and be guaranteed someone will penetrate her if she wants to (she doesnt necessarily get to pick the best guy). a guy doesnt have such great odds.

Is this a bisexual poll?

Obviously it depends on your sexual orientation

For me short guy is 5'5 or under. I am not picky with height being 5'3 myself I prefer shorter men but guys below 5'4 are not that attractive to me but I wouldn't date a guy over 5'11 either.
