Does height matter anymore?

[Julius Terrell]

I'm 24 years old and only 5'01". Being a short guy is really really hard for me. The insults i get, the ridicule, the disrespect. It's kinda depressing really because i know there's nothing i can do about it. I was born this way.

As for dating, it's just sad.

Finally someone else that understands! It's hard being a really short guy. It just seems like nothing you do will ever change your luck. Money,the gym,confidence. It just feels like a sales pitch to make you think you can improve your odds. I've seen tall guys that possessed none of those things, and still managed to get a woman. I've heard of short men with PH.D's and tons of money still struggle with women.

Hell, I've spent nearly 20 years running long distance. I'm still fitter than most people. You can't be a weekend warrior and expect to beat me at a road race. My main point is that even with such good attributes, I still go years without a date. All we short guys want is acceptance.

ITT: Height doesn't matter to most women... and most of them have never dated a shorter man.

Given that I measure 6'2", I've never been overly concerned by height on the dating scene.

That said, when I dated a 5'11" girl, she lamented how difficult it was to find a guy her size. Seems it was a mix of men shorter than her of or her height being intimidated and/or her refusing to date to date guys any shorter than herself, which restricted her options.
