I'm 5'9" so that would make me average height. But I used to be short. In 8th grade, I was 5'1"

I was 4'8" at the beginning of 8th grade. I didn't cross the 5'0" mark until the end of 8th grade. I was only 5'3" in 9th grade. I didn't reach my current height until 10th grade. I'm 5'5" now. Actually, I didn't reach the 4'0" mark until I was in the 3rd grade.

Under normal circumstances, if you are a woman, you will not refuse a short man it?

For a lot of women height does matter. A lot of different things matter to a lot of people when it comes to dating.

I prefer tall, big guys. I feel safe, protected, and feminine. It's a feeling, not something that is actual. My DH was 5'10 (my minimum height requirement), and a big guy. In actuality he probably couldn't have protected me from anything - he had never been in a fight, not even in school.

My height requirement was based upon, me + heels + one inch. I was pretty adament on that fact until I met my SO. But I met and TOTALLY fell for someone who is 5'8. Ironically, he actually could protect me from just about anything. Not that anything is likely to occur.

Women may prefer height, men may prefer big boobs, or insert "X"....

But for most people, others are more than the sum of the physical attributes, and when you meet the right person the "lists" won't matter. If you see yourself as the sum of your short-comings (pun!), others will too.

If a woman is going to reject me just because I'm a bit short, then that woman is full of crap and she isn't worth it.

This is exactly what I was talking about months ago in this thread. She doesn't actually have a height requirement guys, she only thinks she does. What really matters is if the guy can make her feel safe and protected. If you're a foot shorter but invoke those feelings, that is what matters.

This is why you hear women say stuff like "he's not usually my type, but..." It's because the guy had enough game to overcome her cognitive wants and junk like "he has to be 1" taller when I'm in heels" and invoked the emotional and deep evolutionary instinctual desires instead.

That's the benefit that comes from having good Game, being able to bypass those unrealistic requirements and hitting the true ones deep at their core that women cannot help but respond positively to.

That is how I think. If a woman is taller than me in heels, then whatever. Actually, there have been women I liked who are taller than me without heels. If they wear heels, then okay. I want to meet a woman who feels the same way. If a woman feels I don't measure up, then I have the same sentiments that you do. She is too shallow.
I watched a youtube video about men being compared by height. It was on 20/20. The shortest guy(who was 5'0" tall )was rejected by every woman surveyed. The women that were looking at the men wanted among the tallest men. The shortest guy didn't get picked at all. At the end, someone at the end said, "life isn't fair". I got angry about this. When I heard this, I thought "how does this help me get a girlfriend"? The shortest guy was made a millionaire and he was still rejected. I thought at first "how can someone be that shallow"? Sometimes it doesn't surprise me that someone could be that shallow. It just angers me.
