Not really fair to say this. You can be a great a guy or at least a decent guy, but if you use online apps (which is how a very large % of relationships are formed now), none of your other positive qualities will show through very easily. If you’re in the bottom 25% of height you can be top 5% in every other metric and still get barely any attention. And meeting people irl is harder than it was in the past, lack of third spaces and the culture has shifted where it’s less acceptable to cold approach in public. Being short is much harder for men than it was in 1980. |
You assume monogamy. Good looking men can have soft harems in their 20’s if they want to where they have multiple women on rotation |
| I’m a woman who is 5 ft. 4 and (before I started dating my DH 20 years ago), I generally wanted a man to be my height or taller when I was wearing heels. So, 5 ft. 7 and above was fine. I don’t think taller is more attractive but very short could limit a man’s dating options. |

Most young women are naive and shallow, they focus on height and money, not any different than most young men focusing on looks and body.
They should look for complete person, prioritizing character, kindness, education, career ambition etc over everything else. |
Why would any sensible woman want such men? They aren't likely to be content and faithful. |
| I don't think so as a 5'9" male but I'm wealthy so I'm sure that's a major part of it. Women are very transactional these days. |
Agree 100%. I see so many blue pill, soy boy, beta males in the DMV. It's so unattractive and unmasculine. But hey you do you. I've been married to a conservative for over 30 years who has been a great partner and soul mate. I wouldn't have it any other way. |
| A man can't control his height but a woman can control her weight that's why I only date thin, athletic women. And I don't like the GLP-1 Ozempic-face women. They look gaunt. |
Just take a look at recent photos of Demi Moore to see what this is referring to. |
| Life is too short to waste time dating short men. |
It is extremely rational for women to prioritize height and money and is no more or less shallow than a man who prioritizes beauty. |
| My son is 5'6" and usually has a girlfriend. They have all been short (5'2" or less). |
| The hottest guy in my HS was 5 ft 6. |
My brother is 5'6'' and I at least met a few of his girlfriends before he met his wife. And they were both broke students when they met. |
