Yes, thats a type of jerk, because the guy can always find another woman, 
those guys can be very selfish and stubborn.  I realize there are other
types of jerk.

I am usually oblivious to height.  But there is a large group of people
that do notice how tall a guy is.  And of those people, the majority will
react more favorable to a tall guy.  With most of those people, you can
get past that initial reaction.  With some you can't.

Some wise up long before 30, others never do.

Yes but life is full of unfair things.  How someone deals with this is the
important thing.  Some people have no problem dealing with this issue.

No it doesn't.  I have meet loads of women who don't care about height. 
Unfortunately, most of them are married.

Good attitude, the problem is finding that person.
