These "women don't like short men" threads always make me laugh because there
is a horrible double standard here.  It seems that many men get upset
when a woman posts an ad that states she is looking for someone of a certain
stature.  Yet, on the other hand, these same men see absolutely nothing
wrong with posting an ad that state they are seeking a women who is slender,
petite, weight proportionate to height, etc...  

Ummmm, it's the SAME thing folks!  In a perfect world, everyone (both men
and women) would realize that people come in all shapes and sizes and it is
moronic to delete someone as a potential partner based on that individual's
size.  

I'm 5'10" and I have dated men who were shorter, thinner, fatter, taller, etc..
The size of the packaging makes absolutely no difference to me.  If I went
through life saying I would never consider going out with a short men, I
would be missing out on a lot of great men and that would be my loss.  And,
men who will not ask me out simply because I weigh over 150 pounds are missing
out on a great person and that is their loss!  

Women who will only date tall men are just as superficial as men who will
only date thin women.  It's still "judging the book by its cover" mentality
and incredibly shallow.  And let's face facts - most of us would not want
a relationship with a shallow person anyway...
