Is it true women don't like short men? How do they feel about them?
Do women look at short guys like men look at fat women?I swear to god, it's like you have to feel ashamed about your height. Like when a girl realizes your short, a spark in her eyes leaves. I've legit seen girls flip through their Tinder, say "eh, he's kind of ugly" but then read a profile that says "6'3" and she'll go "but he's tall *swipes right*". It f*ck*ng sucks. I hate being 5'9", I feel so beta in public whenever a taller more masculine guy is near me.
At 5'9" I feel like "eh, she doesn't really want a short dude approaching her..."

5'9" isn't short. I think 5'10 is the average height of American men.
But it is true that these dating websites tend to make people very shallow - making decisions on superficial characteristics, which don't matter much when you actually meet people in person.
I can tell you what I like in men. They have a sense of humor and some self-confidence. They are interesting to talk to. They are at least somewhat sensitive and compassionate. They like to go out and do things. They don't oppress me and realize I have a job and friends and a life outside of them.

One more thing. Women don't care about the size of your penis. At all. They care how sensitive you are to their pleasure in bed.

In Holland it's higher. In other places your height is normal. I always look at the face. Sylvia Plath wrote, 'Every woman adores a fascist', but she didn't at the end. I have seen more strength of character and decency in the faces of shorter men, probably because they weren't Europeans. Northern Germany? Who do you think looks best? I once met a beautiful Latvian girl. I kind of like Asians, but they are shorter than me, which is your point.

In Hamburg it's 184cm...
Wo looks best? Depends... I like asian and eastern-european women. Women can be small and attractive, but not men.
Best looking men? I don't know. I am not gay ;)

People vary in what they find attractive. I think it probably is true that *most* (but not all) women prefer their male partners to be *taller than them*. But that is a different thing from prefering them to be tall according to the national average, or whatever. And some women feel differently about it. Similarly, some guys have a thing for large women. Sometimes because they are large themselves and they feel more comfortable around someone they believe to be like them. Sometimes for some other reason.
It might help to think that you don't need for all women to find you to be what it is that they are looking for. There will be some women out there. And I guess you only need to find one at a time.
The height thing (and the penis size thing) and the size of the biceps thing is more to do with masculine hierarchy and relative posturing than anything else. Do you worry about how women arrange their social hierarchy and find yourself attracted to the head bitch (so to speak)? If not.. If you are interested in women... Worry less about those things, which are more to do with impressing your bro-friends.

That is the beginning of an interesting conversation.

At my house it is NOT true that women do not like short men. To be more specific, if you're talking 5'1'' then maybe, but I'm half Sicilian, never did hit 5' tall, so height has never been an issue for me. My dad was 5'8" and we just never talked about it.
