[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if your selling points are reduced to a height and an income, that’s what is going to limit you. I am only slightly taller and make half what you do and am not conventionally attractive, but have no trouble attracting women. Personality, character, respect, and demeanor matter. So who do you “go for”? The one who doesn’t care about your height and income.

I emphasized my height because it’s a huge deal for most young women these days with respect to overall physical attractiveness. Like you can be handsome but if you aren’t at least a certain height it cancels it out. Overall, probably 80-90% of your dating success is some function of looks and socioeconomic status. I’m also guilty of it so not trying to complain or anything  [/quote]

I applaud OP for being honest about his options and I feel his assessment is entirely correct, based on what is written. Men don't want to date ugly women (OP sure doesn't) and women don't want to date short poor men. It is what it is.

It really depends on what you want OP. Think ahead.

Do you want to be sole-breadwinner for a family (if you want kids), or does that sound stressful? 
Do you like the status and prestige that you get from being with a hot girl over the prestige of being married to a high earning doctor type?
What is the race of yourself and the women you like? Latin and Asian men tend to be short. I have seen some very short white guys end up with very attractive Latin/Asian women.

Racist much? You're trying to say that attractive Latin/Asian women would go for losers because they are Latin/Asian? The attractive Latina or Asian women who end up with someone who is short like that person because they find him attractive, charismatic, kind, and all that. I can think of a couple really pretty women I know and one of the men who is short is a very good looking banker and another is an athlete who is a very successful entrepreneur and famous in his field. They could have their pick of tall men and those short men could have their pick of tall women. They wouldn't be dating someone like OP who is insecure and only wants women who can do better for themselves than him whatever that means. [/quote]

You missed the point which was since Latin and Asian populations skew shorter, Latin and Asian women are more likely to date shorter men than women from taller minority populations. That poster never said short men were losers or that Asian or Latin men were losers. Op makes decent money himself.[/quote]

You're making a lot of assumptions. Many Latina and Asian women I know grew up in the States and date people of all races. Most Asian American women I know actually mostly date tall white guys.[/quote]
