Valid point, but I do think the "he's not tall enough" kvetching most men accuse women of is overblown, and ventures into COPE territory.

Agreed. I see men dating women taller than them all the time. If it’s handicapping your dating life, it’s self-inflicted

I'm shorter than average, and this was something I always had 0 self consciousness about. I always found it pretty convenient that I can squeeze into smaller spaces and not feel the least bit uncomfortable. Bigger guys would be whining about aching backs, or just straight up not be able to access the spot, and I'd be comfortable as fuck. On the flip side, if I needed something on a super tall shelf, I'd just step on something :P

As I aged though, I eventually realized that it was the single most unattractive thing about me to women. It obviously can be compensated for by being awesome at the other things that matter to women, but it's definitely a much bigger handicap than I realized. Height is intrinsic in body language and communicates power. It's better to be a bit overweight and tall then short and fit.
