To be honest, they weren't much to look at themselves either. Cute, but average.
But they'd honestly would have to consider travel a good distance geographically from a po-dunk town to meet people an hour away at the nearest big city if they weren't going to compromise on settling on locals.
Shes' 5'6", wears 4 to 5 inch heels, thus...making her taller than a guy that's 5'8"
You have gotten that right!Balanced
Looks matter to an extent, but it's more difficult to find a woman who is also friendly, smart, and and cooperative in ways that are meaningful to me.
Thing is, nothing can be done about height, but something can be done about weight.
Also, there are attractive short men out there just as there are attractive tall and short women. If you see a picture of a guy in good shape and he's got it going on for him career wise, but when a tall gal sees him in person and he's say 5'6"...that can immediately make him unattractive.
Flip it...and to a man it wouldn't really matter. I've seen 6 feet tall women turn my heads just as much as shorter women. If they have a nice figure, the height isn't even an issue for men.
Honestly.. most men over the age of 25 place much more emphasis on youthfulness than weight. I know plenty of older men who prefer to date chubby younger chicks than thin ones their own age.
I have never encountered anyone with that philosophy while dating or mentoring women. A desire for physical fitness is a constant. The men I’ve known who preferred younger women found companions who were young and fit.
If young women were plentiful and willing to entertain the advances by the opposite sex without concern for their physical shortcomings, we wouldn’t have a barrage of threads bemoaning the slights received.
Women have always known that physical appearance matters. You aren’t accustomed to being judged for your appearance and the comments attest to this.
Atheism and a penchant for evolutionary biology doesn’t alter the necessity of securing her agreement. I’ve known men with similar mindsets. They were chosen for attributes that had little to do with the concepts you’ve proposed.
Theories are great. But they don’t beget a yes. When the rubber meets the road, that’s what matters most. If they aren’t leading you to the result you seek, they’re useless.
You’re overestimating the impact the truth will have. We are groomed with the knowledge we’re judged by appearance. You aren’t.
I think our hides are a wee bit tougher in that respect.
What are you talking about? My short height has been a big deal ever since I was a teenager. Even before then, I knew my small stature would be a problem.
I was not addressing your personal experiences. I responded to the perspective you’ve put forth.
Body image (for men) has never been a topic of discussion in my connections or friendships. I’ve known men of various statures. They devoted themselves to being worthy suitors few could resist.
Physical attractiveness and height aren’t the lone qualities women seek. And I doubt most are being rejected on those grounds. In all likelihood, she didn’t observe other qualities that sparked or deepened her interest. Citing height is an easy out.

Height probably becomes less of a factor for men as we get older.. if I didn't I'd still be stuck in my teenage years.. lol.
I date tall men. Most average 6 feet and the tallest was 6’6. But it’s not a subject I give attention to. I don’t think I’m alone in that.

Women have been more into me the older I get, yet the anger for how I was treated in the past understandably isn't going to go away and probably shouldn't.
Why would you maintain it? They’ve come and gone and you’ve encountered better suitors.
