You have actual "short" men then. Not someone who is 5' 10" to 6' and IS still considered "short"..er. BIG difference.

More reason for short men to bundle all women together and say we are shallow and won't date short men.

I find it interesting that you note that you have imperfections which make you insecure, but don't want to date men on the shorter side.

I think you need to find a middle-ground. Probably someone who treats you well and makes you feel beautiful, not someone based on looks or height.

At 80 everybody is wrinkled so at the end looks at 25 dont matter. We are all heading to that dreaded white hair & wrinkles.

Bahahaha! My bad, the 'ing' in 'dating' added to the 'short' instead. Am I able to edit the title? Eh, whatever, you get the point, I'll try to edit it anyway. And you make a good point, and it's not like I'm going after Brad Pitt anyway (I really rather like nerdy guys; also, Brad Pitt is a vegan, which upsets me greatly).

I don't find it a rule. I find it a stereotype.
