I so look forward to the day our culture evolves past these silly stereotypes

Fortunately, many individuals HAVE already evolved past them

So take that protection theory and blow it out your as$.

There is also a double standard with alot of things in life and dating is no exception. If a girl rejects a guy based on height she is just choosing what she wants. If a guy rejects a girl based on her breast size he's an as$hole
...its not whether or not the tall guy can protect the girl or if you can beat him up...its the PERCEPTION that he is taller therefore can protect them... and it goes beyond actual 'protection' ive heard girls say they feel 'safe' when with taller guys yet those tall guys may never have had to actually fight anyone to prove they can protect their ladies...its just perceived that they can.

I see women dating short guys all of the time. If you are a guy the last thing you want to be is fat. Even fat women don't want anything to do with fat men. That's a topic for another thread though.

I think there's still some of this primitive conditioning at play with some women, but there are plenty of women who have other priorities.

The money makes up for the short height on men.

I'm ready for that thread. I know fat guys who draw women like moths to a flame. I've been drawn to fat guys on a couple of occasions, but it had everything to do with who they were as people. Weight was irrelevant. One was what some people here call "short": around 5'7". Irrelevant.

There's no room in this world for short men.

Personality and charisma make up for height for me.

Short and boring = bad news!
