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...
