I'm 6 feet 3 inches and have not been overly swamped by an abundance of women. Still I when I met my wife she was turned on by my height. I dated a lot but did not have thousands of women trying to date me. It’s a personal choice I guess.

The problem with shorter men is when they get older they get fat, and when they get fat they look like short round balls. Tall men tend to distribute their weight better. I was skinny and tall as a teen. When I matured I looked a great deal better.

Its not like women age aamzingly gracefully either for the most part..

If were going by how your mates gonna look 30 years down the road in a partner then men should leave women once they hit a certain age by that logic..

Actually, I've noticed that tall men seem to end up stooped/hunch backed in old age. I've also seen alot in wheelchairs.

Women do have a preference for tall man, but i'm only 5'7 with shoes on, and never had a problem.

My MSgt, is only 5'4 or 5'5 and has a gorgeous Italian wife. Prince is close to being a midget.

Basically, though women prefer tall men, and some will even date them exclusively, it's not going to prevent a short guy from getting dates.

I like taller men because I am 5'10". I don't think I have been approached by shorter men because of my height and their insecurities about their height.
