I think this heavily depends on where you are and I wouldn't be surprised if race was a factor. Not all white men are tall though. Here in East Coast cities, there are tons of shorter Mediterranean men (like Italians and Spaniards).
My high school sweetheart was 5'6 and most of my boyfriends were 5'8 and under. I prefer being eye to eye and being able swap hoodies when I have a partner. We do exist and I don't believe that we're that uncommon.
My younger brother is 5'5 and was never really a ladies' man but did have a few girlfriends while in high school. When he got to college he struggled a bit but had one girlfriend if I remember correctly.
When he graduated college and moved to another town he went through a long, long dry spell. It got to the point where our parents were worried whether he would marry, especially since I had a ton of boyfriends and eventually got married myself.
Anyway when he moved he became extremely depressed, had no luck with online dating and had no single female friends who were real. Women who befriended him usually used him for attention and or wanted favors but had no romantic interest. He did everything to improve himself. He went to the gym, joined a local baseball team and local meetup groups.
He finally met someone off of POF, but here is the clincher. The woman is 7 years older than him (he is 29, she is 36), has three kids, one from a marriage and two from two men she dated thereafter, she has an enormous amount of credit card and student loan debt and has major impulses. She is the type to not be reflective and blames other people or entities for her problems
I think my brother is blinded by his previous depression and being lonely for so long.
My brother is smart and extremely successful. He seems happy and I don't want to drop a ton of bricks on him by meddling.
Should I wait on the sidelines and just be happy for him or should I intervene and try to open his eyes?
When most women ask for the privileges of equality and do everything to escape the pitfalls and live behind double standards, I understand why a lot of short men feel the way they do. I hate to be cliche, but don't give up. Keep looking and try to work smarter.
