Excellent videos on women and height preference

I really think it boils down to women not wanting to be judged by society, rather than a real preference.
I think a majority of our preferences are shaped by society.
For example, growing up, I was never attracted to blonde women in particular, and found it ludicrous that the colour of hair would even matter, it seemed so superficial. But as I grew older, I began to prefer blondes more and more because society said that they were more attractive.
In the second video, the guy nails it on the head with the hypocrisy thing. He also says that if anything, you can judge an overweight person more than a short person. A short person has no control over their height, but an overweight person has made conscious decisions about their lifestyle and can control their weight.
In Japan, being overweight is very stigmatised. In fact, when hiring applicants, the mentality regarding overweight people is that if a person can't even control their own weight, how can they manage and control complex affairs?
As a short guy, I have to say that in real life many women are attracted to me, and I've never had many issues dating. However, when I go to those online dating sites, I get no responses. This is because women automatically filter out those under a certain height, and look at only the numbers.

I'm 6'4" and have had many women dismiss me as "too tall".. It happens. Men do it to women as well.. Too tall, not busty enough, too big a bum, not enough of a bum etc.,.
The weird thing is, I've always had better physical relationships with women who fell outside of my "check list" (which incidentally is short and slender with big boobs)..

It actually kind of makes me feel good that tall guys get rejected as unacceptable too, not just short guys. Life seems fairer now.
Thanks for sharing.It is also interesting that Prince, who was 5'3" dated and married many beautiful women, including Kim Basinger, Madonna, and Carmen Electra.
When someone is that rich and famous, even the prettiest, wealthiest, and famous women would date someone his height.
Your average woman who says they would never date anyone shorter than 6 feet tall may have second thoughts if Prince had said he was interested in them.

I'm 6-3 and I LOVE tall women. Like 6 footers.
When I was in University I dated a 6 footer and I think that set the bar. She could put on 10 pounds and you would not even notice.
Short women (under 5-6) just don't intrigue me at all. And a 5 footer scares me off.
Most women are fairly short with the average seeming to be about 5-4 or so. Meh.
But like you, any port in a storm I suppose.
Still, a tall woman turns my head every time.
Women prioritize things like Height status and money in looking for men.
Depending on what she has to offer or brings to the table, sometimes two out of three ain't bad.

Some women actually prefer short men:

My best friend's sister is pretty tall for an Asian girl (5'4"). She has dated mostly guys shorter than her (incluiding one was 4'10"). She married someone just taller than her.
I would break down the percentage as follows:
Super picky (I only date guys 6 feet and higher"): 30%
Reasonably picky (a few inches taller than they are): 35%
"Just as long as he's taller than me": 20%
"As long as he's not shorter than me (can be same height)": 9%
"I really don't care about height": 5%
"I actually prefer shorter guys": 1%

I would mostly agree with this breakdown, except I think the "I really don't care about height" category is more than 5%. Probably closer to 10 or 15%. I've met a lot of taller girls who are sick of having feelings for guys who are shorter than them, and having society tell them that they're not a good match because of the height difference. They wish that social expectation would just go away. For a girl to feel like a giant is no less unpleasant than for a guy to feel short.
I rejected and still reject by clients who, (I think) has low self-esteem. They think I'm too tall, but for what? I never understood that. We are not in public place and not on a real date and trust me, I don't care how tall are you in the bed.
When I was around 18 or 19, I got a hand job from a chick who was 5'11"... My dick never looked so small as it did in her hands..
For me, the shorter the better.. Although I don't know if a woman under 5'0" would interest me... Still, I'm sure I'd give it go if presented with the opportunity..
If men don't care about height, wouldn't it be logical that they would be willing to date a dwarf? I can see more men being open to dating dwarfs than women.
That sound about right. In some countries, there is not this obsession with height.
I love taller women and actively seek out taller women. It's satisfying to be able to "tame" a taller girl and make her purr like a kitty:adoration:
I feel like the issue is overblown by some men... I'm 5'7" and my ex was 5'9". I had a 5'11" girl who was all over me back in university. You can't see height in apps like Tinder and I never had a date who met me and realized I wasn't tall and turned me down.
I was the best man at my friend's wedding the other day and also acted as an entertainer. After the wedding, my friend told me many single women at the wedding wanted to know if I was single and available. If height was such a dominating issue, then I don't think I will be able to attract any women.
I'm not saying height is not an issue because it is one factor. Hypothetically, if there is a person that is identical to me in every regard but is taller, he could probably do better. But you could make the same argument that holding everything else equal, if someone has a bit more money, longer penis, prettier face, funnier, kinder, etc will have an advantage over others.
Another factor is if your personality matches your exterior. If your internal personality is like James Bond or tough guy, then it might look ridiculous if your external factor such as height/weight cannot support that persona. The type of women your personality (tough guy) attracts will place strong emphasis on physical size.
On the other hand, if your personality is more of a goofy, cheerful, playful type, then the type of women you attract don't necessarily place big emphasis on physical size.
Finally, everyone has different preferences, why waste energy being upset that you're not someone's type? If they don't like you, it is their loss. Don't try to live up to the ideal set by others. Live up to the ideal that is right for you. All these images and behaviour patterns created by popular culture is why I avoid watching movies/tv shows/pop-culture. I live a happier and more authentic life by dictating my own standard.
Case in point, many short guys dated beautiful women, just like the guy who played Turtle from Entourage

It's not rocket science. Women equate big/tall men with strength which they subconsciously (or consciously) equate with protection. Put a big guy next to a small guy and women will usually pick the taller man.
Saying women should overlook height in men is like saying men should overlook beauty in women. Sorry, just ain't gunna happen.
You're much better off spending effort on building confidence in shorter men rather than trying to overcome thousands of years of biological evolution.

I am 6ft3 and I have always noticed that the shorter guys get the hotter girls anyway. Damn you short guys.
