a comment from the below article about dating:
"Side note: I have a personal connection to this issue. My nephew (28) lives in NYC, he’s good looking (yes, he is), in excellent shape, has a PhD in Comp Sci and banks 270K+/yr. He would totally relate to this article because it’s utter hell for him to sustain (much less even get) the attention of girls his age. So, what’s his problem? He’s “only” 5-9. An extenuating problem is his limited dating experience, having been committed to education up until three or so years ago, but he’s fixing that. Every time we discuss this subject, he reminds me how the girls flat out tell him them they want someone taller. He even tries to make light of it by saying he’s a solid member of the “invisibles” club but I can see it hurts him deeply."

of course, as everyone knows, unlike height someone's weight is for the most part under one's control via diet and exercise.
i find one of the comments to the article also very interesting:
" Even though I am over 60 and therefore short of options, I will not date a man under 5'10". And this must be the reason. Taken as a group, I just don't gell with them. They sort of overcompensate in other not very nice ways. I couldn't put my finger on it -- but maybe now I get it. Also, other parts of them tend to be smaller. Sorry but true, and size does matter. Agreed genetics and racial characteristics (i.e. Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian) play a role, but I often wonder if the diet and nutrition of the parents plays a part. That would also affect intelligence and other attributes."

my choice not to procrate really has nothing to do with height but more with ecology and ethical reasons. along with the issues of resources and environmental devastation, personally i also would not want to bring another being into such a violent and cruel society.
There are plenty of resources. Greedy people are just making you and others believe otherwise.
living in a wealthy industrialized nation it may be easy to believe this but the evidence strongly suggests otherwise. in fact, it is the greedy corporations who are propogating the myth that there is no issue with what humans are doing to the enviroment and eco-systems in the name of profits. you may want to check out this great documentary to learn the fact based reality of just how serious of an issue this is: http://www.cowspiracy.com/
