Most of the body positive women I meet actually want men to embrace heavier women while staying totally silent about shorter men. That kind of double standard deserves anger.

I just want equality. So if women require tall guys on dating sites, men should be allowed to demand thin women openly on dating sites too. As far as name calling goes, sometimes its the only way to get women to shut up about mocking shorter men. The bottom line is, suffering should be equal to whatever shorter men receive.

A lady can at least potentially work on her weight. A guy can never work on his height. :(

But once again as people gets older, all these superficial things gets less and less valuable.

In the real world equality is rare.

I am only 5 foot 7 inches but I have had many women throw themselves at me since I was 13. The last women to throw herself at me was a woman about 10 years younger than me and she was at least 6 foot 2 inches.

How tall somebody is has no meaning for me but I look at body tone. A woman must be pleasing to look at in order for her to be attracted to me.

Now a lot of women like tall guys because they have more man in them and it is a free country for them to chose that away but I also know that when women pick their men for man stuff that their relationships only last until the fun is done and there is nothing else.

A big man matters to some but a smart one picks a big man with a good job and is smart. Just marrying big is not enough.

I read an article a few years ago that stated that most beautiful women usually date big guys but marry smaller guys who are secure.

I would love to believe your story where the "secure and hard working" guy gets the beautiful lady at the end too. Nice fairy tale. But truth is beautiful people makes more money than less-beautiful people.

The following are on average. So these aren't always the case.

Beautiful people gets more opportunities. They often gets first try for no reason except they look prettier. Humans are conditioned to believe that beautiful people are more capable.

And when beautiful people fail they tend to get 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances. Less-beautiful people are like walking on grass and one mistake might do them in.

Beautiful people tend to have a history of success since elementary and high school. Now this might not mean that they are always great at school. But they often have zero problem attracting friends. They have zero problem getting help from others. And so on average beautiful people have very high confidence. And they have great social skills because everyone wants to talk with them.

So on average for a less-beautiful person to succeed, they must:

1) Seize every opportunity. Or success on their first.
2) Build high confidence some how.
3) Build great social skills some how.

And this is where Jesus can help. =)

Actually, weight can be a difficult thing to control. Especially as one gets older.

I believe that height is a huge factor in high school and even university dating. But as people get older this factor values less and less, slowly decrease at first and then speed up after 30 years old. Same goes for any other kinds of superficial factors.

P.S. Shorter guys tend to live longer on average. Their heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump the blood around.

However it is universal truth that most woman prefer taller guys than short ones. They want to "feel" protected by a bigger man.

Youthful looks get more important for men as they get older. I read men are actually at an advantage regarding the dating world past the age of 27. The only thing about high school college, most of the women are too young to look old.

Impossible to answer. I'm 5'3". What's ideal for me would probably not be ideal for a woman six inches taller than me. I prefer a guy to be at least 5'7, but if I met the right guy and he was below that, I wouldn't care. I don't have to have my physical preferences to be happy, but I've found my heart preferences are required for happiness. So I need a guy whose heart is "right," and that's something he can do something about. His height he can't.
