[I caught this thread only recently, so forgive my clumsiness if I step on
toes]

Let me tell you something: I can't speak for everyone, obviously, but not
all women are superficial. I dated a guy once who was short, balding and
(to me) not exceptionally attractive in looks. But he was a blast to be
with. He was very outgoing and knew how to have fun, was very
energetic...to me, *that* was attractive. (Now you'll ask what happened???
He left town.)

But I have to agree with you...I, like many women, am not intrinsically
attracted to men shorter than myself.
