Being short is something that used to bother me quite a bit, I would feel this strain of unfairness for myself and I guess that's what I really abhorred more than just getting the girl. By being assertive with myself, I have trained myself to longer feel that personal bruising effect upon myself where I get dismantled under pressure with myself. This link has an interesting article about women liking taller men and what height is regarded as in society. From this article, I recalled that Cosmopolitan Magazine said that women are most attracted to men who are 1.1 times her height. This sort of relates to my mom and my dad in that my mom is about 5' 1" and my dad is about 5' 7.5" and so those numbers closely match.
The articles also inference that most women would prefer to be with a guy whose at least the same height as her. I've seen a lot of attractive women who are about my height and so maybe my height does not really give off as being that short to some of my average-height or above-average height friends. It's true that women in general are shorter than men. Some researchers claim that stone-age women were attracted to tall men for protection and resources and that nowadays, it could be because society still views a tall man having social status and more money than a shorter male. This is the key association with height that must attract females. With investments going worldwide and people connecting with computers, it may be that things may be deceiving to the eye. Really well-trained martial artists have noted with me that size does not matter and that it's all really a continuous motion with your opponent instead of really just brute strength. I think it's really more about displaying proper confidence with yourself and being comfortable around others. I still feel that I have good weight among my shoulders and would probably be able to defend when necessary. I, myself, don't really feel that intimidated with tall guys unless you're like Shaq or sumo wrestlers. Overall, there are so many different factors to this. This is an immature question that I need answered; just because I'm short, do I never try to marry any girl thinking that she would reject me because I'm short? In conclusion, I feel that women would like a generally handsome guy whose well-regarded to be a gentleman with her and solely devote his time being with her. Height is one of the major factors for me in determining being handsome. Maybe, I should just throw in the towel and look out after my own interests right now without trying to involve myself in problems that others face.
