Oh, the Knight of Venus strikes again!! Whenever I talk about behavioral facts in the majority of women, you get offended and you want to defend them all and prove it that you are not like them.
We get it already, you are not like them, you are speccciallll, you are unique, I swear - I believe you! I am not being sarcastic.
But seriously, to deny that the majority of women prefer men taller than themselves is too (as a must requirement).....burying head in the sand.
Look there are plenty of studies, interviews, tv debates, articles, dating sties stats, about this very fact.
And if you actually have a female-dominated social circle, you would hear it too. Go ask other women and see by yourself. There are also males' life experiences here, which you never consider them and always invalidate them: In my experience, I got disqualified quickly on that, before meeting them or on the very first date, so there was not even a chance to make them "overlook" it for other traits.
I am not inventing anything nor I am being unfair by stating this.
But Sweetleaf, seriously.....can you stop doing this frequently? To defend women every time I talk something about some women, it's a Love and Dating forum and I am straight , so normally I won't complain about men here.
When you talked about the player guys in okcupid, I didn't pop out and was like "Oh, so why are you then on Okcupid? Why do you want to date men if they are all that evil and players?

I am not like this, you know! Not all men like this"
I didn't invalidate your experiences, nor I turned to Guardian of Men or something.
But on the other hand, you do this all the time, it's ridiculous.
I am offended? I don't feel like I am....and yes you are being sarcastic...
Also I don't think you read my post I just agreed most women may have a height preference...or at least a large enough majority for that to be a generalization. So yeah whatever most women have a preference for taller guys....most guys have a preference for shorter women to. So pay attention.
I don't question that in your experience women have rejected you for height alone, I do think those women are rather shallow if that was really their only reason regardless if you agree with that or not.
I mean unless I really am that much different than other females I would think quite a lot of them are more likely to compromise on some preferences if they find someone they hit it off with...rather than refuse anyone who doesn't fit every single one of their pre-determined preferences. Hence my example of a preference for long hair, not ending up being a requirement.
Also you do invalidate my experiences...every time I mention an experience to point out a different reaction/thought process a woman could have aside from the one you put forward, you sarcastically tell me how I am just trying to show off how unique I am or something .
