Ladies - Would You Consider Dating a 5'8 Man??

Right I made a statement in another thread saying that 5'8 man are too short to date so would like to poll it. I'm a 5'8 male, and I've heard rumours that the vast majority of women do not like to do someone of this height or smaller. Although only around 25%-33% of men are 6ft and above so most men are smaller than this. I've never really taken notice of this nor cared until recently reading on the internet that the majority of women would refuse to date someone around my height under almost any circumstances and I'm just curious how true this is??

Now I understand that taller men are deemed more desirable, and women above 5'8 may struggle to date a 5'8 guy, that's also understandable.

Would you date a 5'8 male?? Or is that a no no under any circumstances??

You are aware there is a 4 inch difference between 5'8 and 6 foot right?

Now when you say do, what exactly do you mean? Are you asking if men who are 5'8 or under not shagable?

I would, but am not sure himself would approve
Seriously though if i was single I'd have no problem dating a man this height, I'm barely 5ft so 5' 8" is tall to me

I would have absolutely no problem dating a man who was 5ft 8".

I'm 5ft 2", so a man who is 5ft 8" is probably a perfect height for me, though I've been with taller and I've been with smaller. I'd prefer a man to be taller than me, but that's going to be the case with most men.
