Height provides a longer stride and longer reach. Those are important for the survival of our species. Women have been breeding for height since the dawn of time.

Let me put it in a nutshell for you, if you are short, you will be always lonely and never hooking up with the girls of your choice, they will 99% of the time go for a taller man because their DNA makes them do it. They don't make a conscious decision to stay away from short guys, it just sort of happens that way. You will notice that most of the successful married men in the world are above 5 foot 9. I know this because I am in the wedding business and we have only had 3 or 5 guys under 5 foot 9 out of HUNDREDS of grooms... they are ALL tall. Face it, women do NOT want to pass on our short genes to their children. They want Barbie doll and Ken looking offspring, because being tall almost ensures your survival as a human. Tall people also consistently get better jobs and make more money, they are ultimately more successful. Women are OBSESSED with the length of their legs and the only way to ensure that you won't have children with stubby legs is to breed with a person of tall stature.

You as a shorter man, will be more successful with TALL women! Yes, that's right, TALL women... they are NOT obsessed with lengthening the bones of their children's shinbones and may well want to breed with a smaller person to reduce the size of their female offspring.

You will have to give up the thought of short women... they are ALL looking for tall men, so their children won't be little like they were. Smallness equates with powerlessness, size equals strength and small women spend their life feeling underpowered and desperately crave the power that large humans possess.

The women of this site don't want to go through helping a man deal with their self esteem, it is not their duty. They don't want to have to justify their preference for taller men. It would be difficult for them to do so, because the preference is driven by their DNA and is not a conscious decision to be attracted to taller men. It defies logical explanation, other than the eugenics type of explanation that I am offering.
