And you are clearly brainwashed. It's wrong to discriminate against people.

most Special Forces are about that size, so you dont think they could protect you because they're too small? but they can defend the country

a stick of dynomite is small but can do lots of damage, size doesnt always mean power
Yeah but average Navy Seal are not under 5'7. Also it takes a whole army of short men before they can have any strength. One big tall man is good all by himself

"5'7 - 5'9"
Source please. Not that I couldn't see it, considering someone in that range may be faster, more agile and able to get through an obsticle (Window or doorway) quicker than a 6'6" guy.

What in the hell happened to this thread?

A.) I know that women are deeper than to solely choose a man based on this height.

B.) I know that the media plays a role in shaping our desires as to the opposite sex. But its a minor role.

C.) This is all to see if women have preferences when it comes to height. Not that they would totally discount a man based on his height but if they have preferences when looking for a male.

There is nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with having a preference and height does make an initial impression on people.

OP - I think your height is fine... And I wouldn't have an issue with it..Even if you were Shorter or Taller..

And honestly any woman who would, is shallow in my "opinion". Geesh....

That's bull. A "real" woman judges a man by the content of his character, not his height. A "real" woman wouldn't even notice a man's height.
