Go for someone who is into you for you and not what you can buy them or vice versa.

Look for chemsitry and compatibility, not status. If you are attracted to someone and they feel likewise, explore it.

An educated woman who would be willing to go part time so she can actually be there for the kids.

Lol. Meaning you want a woman who not only earns money but you can use her sacrificing her career as ammo for you to demand she does every single bit of housekeeping and caregiving for you because you are an entitled ass who isn’t interested in women as human beings. And you’re ugly. How novel.

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

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.

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.

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.

That way you balance each other out. You have enough money to have a nice lifestyle. Enjoy dating the women who are cute.

Who cares if they don’t have big careers? Most women end up scaling back after kids regardless, so it’s a wash. At least if you go for the women who are hot, you’ll have a cute attractive partner.

The kids are cuter too.
However there needs to be some sort of prenup or other ways to protect the high income and assets

Who would you recommend going for?

Totally shallow post, but we live in a shallow world.

"they have better options"? Are you a woman? Who says that stuff? Who thinks this way? You can't rank people like that. Some of the shortest guys I know have wonderful beautiful girlfriends and no they are not rich.

Sure. But he also said he is unattractive and he is not willing to date women he deems unattractive so height is the least of his concerns. He is also crowdsourcing this on DCUM. I think you answered your own questions here; this is a classic 4 wondering if he can buy his way into a 7 or 8 with cash (maybe!) Or if he should "settle" for a 4 to 5 peer who he deems beneath him because they are not hot. I am not understanding this thread of sympathy and enthusiasm for this guy, it's kind of a classic gross male stereotype. He has said nothing at all about wanting a loving partner and longterm happy relationship, he sounds like a vapid loser looking to maximize his value with someone hotter than him. Im shocked by the female responses acting like this is a short guy thing. We've all met this type. If he were fun and lovely and charismatic this wouldnt be the "predicament."
