LMFAO.

This part of the article was the best!

Quote:
The women always chose the tall men. Sherr asked whether there'd be anything she could say that would make the shortest of the men, who was 5 feet, irresistible. One of the women replied, "Maybe the only thing you could say is that the other four are murderers." Another backed her up, saying that had the taller men had a criminal record she might have been swayed to choose a shorter man. Another said she'd have considered the shorter men, if the taller men had been described as "child molesters."

Women find taller men more attractive - is this really a news flash for you? It's unfair but life isn't fair, so all you can do if you are short is be the best you can be, and I guarantee you will find someone. Most of us have dating shortcomings; most of us learn to live with it and make up for it.

I'm a taller woman so yes, it's important that my mate be if not as tall as me, then taller. I've always loved taller men anyway. I love the feeling of being cuddled up inside a taller mans arms with him towering over me. My b/f is a little taller than me, not as tall as I've dated before but he does the trick, plus he's got nice broad shoulders. Yes, a lot of women like a strong, tall man. It's just a fact of life.

I do realize that there are a lot of men who are on the shorter size who can offer wonderful things to a woman but I also believe that there is a lid for every pot (so to speak). I know there are women who like a man regardless of if he's taller than they are but most of the women I know are married to, dating or are interested in a taller guy.
There are things about women that men insist upon. A lot of men only will date a woman who is very thin and either athletic or very lean. Many men don't like a thicker woman. I don't see an article being published though about that LOL
I also don't lack the confidence to worry about it either.

Here's the thing. If you're a short guy, stop chasing women that prefer tall guys. There are women out there that won't mind a short guy as long as he treats a lady like a lady.

C'mon, one of the guys in the example was 5'. That means he was more than just a little short, he is WAY out of the norm for an adult man in a Western country.
