Frank Calderon wrote: As someone who's 5'9" (OK, OK, I'm actually 5' 8-1/2") I thought I'd throw in this little bit o' info: 20/20 (on ABC) had a story about short men and their dating problems this Friday night (think their producers might be reading some of these posts?). And guess what they found? Most women prefer tall men (surprise, surprise)! They had a group of men in a room, with one short man in the middle, and a group of women in another room looking through a two-way mirror at the men. The women were asked which men they would date. None picked the short guy--even after they were told the short guy was an M.D. who had written a successful book, yatta, yatta. They did this several times with different guys (including different short guys) and different women. In one particular case, they were told the short guy (who happened to be 5 feet tall this time) was a venture capitalist who became a millionaire at 25--and they STILL wouldn't go out with him! Unbelievably shallow, I think...
