Maybe I am in denial after all.

Also, it doesn't really reduce chances of finding a partner significantly - at all - from observation, 99% of women would never go for a guy shorter than them, so chances are reduced barely 1% if any - and I wouldn't bet on my chances in finding this unicorn; but It would save me a great deal of time, energy and awkward time; so I accept this chance reduction willingly.

Would you reject a tall woman if she approached you (online or IRL)?

It won't happen, no need to think about fictional scenarios that will never happen.

I had a chat with a petite man once about this equivalency between desirability and height.

Until that point I had not really been aware that being a petite female was a deficit in the typical sense. He viewed it as a definite mark against but not a turn off. A limiting factor, in the sense of a persons genetics and the potential of having children that are smaller, not taller.

Its simple really, culturally its largely accepted that women can wear heels, put our hair up and do all sorts to create an illusion of additional height. Its different for men, but if you could behave the same as women do, then you could ensnare someone with your illusion of height . I like to wear flats all the time, I like to be comfortable, I don't actually want to invest time into creating an illusion of being taller than I am.

I am 6'6" and could not get a date to save my life throughout my entire 20s. Two of my Junior High bullies are sub 5'4" and both had women hanging off them all the time. I have NEVER met a short, single man.

I'm quite short at 5'7", but, obviously, that's not my only problem.

Yes, we're the equivalent. I knew this girl who became obese in a short period of time due to medication. She told me that she used to get asked out by random young guys before and now only older men ask her out. While we were dating, she also dated a married man and a drug addict. It's too bad that it didn't work out (she slept with my best friend) because I liked her as a person.

Are you bit muscular? It's the swimmer build they like most.

If you are tall and your body shape is like an aubergine, then yeah...your height won't help.

Yes I'm pretty strong/muscular. I'm also fine with being 5'11" since that's "conservatively tall".(i.e. not "big oaf" status)
