You're right, height doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I don't care if the woman is as short as a midget or 7', if I find her attractive outside and inside, I'm going to ignore things that isn't going to wreck a relationship.
However, I've found that many women are very picky. A lot of women care about public appearance, and if you're too short for them, they'll dismiss you almost immediately. Most of the time you can't tell if they're that picky unless you attempt to approach them.
That movie "Shallow Hal" describes many of my rejections
These are the same women who will either, a) date and marry a physically attractive man, but she'll get bored and complain about him down the line., b) Are 30-or-40-something complaining about why they can't find a good man.
I'm 6'4 and had really good lucks with really hot women, but I've also lost some to shorter men. Women are all the place when they're wanting to pick a guy. Sometimes, they want tall and well off guys with really good looks but are won out by short guys who regularly socialize with them.
Not at all, there is no exception to the rule in any way, peope like what they like, and that is it. I know a women no lie who is 6ft tall and her husband being 5"8 they have a great relationship, there is no rule of thumb on who you like. Go for it life is short, you have to make yourself happy before all others. I am only around 5"4 self conscious, because naturally very large busted, my husband loves me and what i look like while others may not, that is ok, different strokes for different folks. My Mother was taller then my Father, they had a wonderl marriage the best. So while some women may reject shorter guys, there will be those that will not. I learn one thing you cannot help what it is that you like, you may be different then all others, but it does not matter, you make yourself happy before any one else.
How much shorter? Was it you or was it what you thought other people might be thinking?
The first guy was around 5'2" (it was a blind date; I'm around 5'7"). He came up to my chin. The second guy was around 5'5". He was a decent enough guy but I wasn't attracted to him physically (if he were 6 feet tall I still wouldn't have been attracted). However, in each scenario, as with all others when I'm out with a guy, one of the questions I ask myself is whether I'd feel safe/protected around him. Neither of these guys fit that bill.

Don't confuse height with strength or whatever it is your seeking. I never understood the need to feel safe/protected argument? What is it you need to feel safe or protected from?

Don't get me wrong- I can hold my own for the most part- but I'm a little old-school in the sense that men should be able to protect their women. From the two guys I went out with, it was more vice-versa (I'd probably have to protect THEM). They weren't exactly the strongest guys; it really didn't have everything to do with their height. If they were 5'5" and bodybuilders/powerlifters/football players/etc., then I'd probably feel different.
