Women commenting on and rejecting men due to height

I've only really experienced this in online dating. A few women have told me out straight on dating sites that I'm too short. It's not very pleasant of course but online dating can be very superficial.

I've never some across that sort of bluntness in real life, but if I'm been completely honest, I very rarely get rejected. That's not to say I'm a stud by any means, but any conversation I've had with a woman on a night out rarely went beyond the shouting in someone's ear in a noisy club. So the convo doesn't really get to the point where I can get rejected.

At 5'8" myself, any women I've been with were about the same height or slightly taller. I remember many years ago some girls said they wouldn't go out with me because I was too skinny, (I was very slim in my teens/early 20's, but height has never been an issue outside of online dating.

Why would they even feel the need to give a reason unless it's something you could work on and take as constructive criticism. Wonder how many men will reject women bluntly with reasons like being too short or fat.

Bit of a difference between height and weight though. Now if a fella put up a a status saying "What do you call a woman over 5'10"? Friends" (as men tend to prefer women who are shorter) it might be more comparable.

Yes, the difference is height is totally genetic and weight is almost always not and is a personal choice, which was the main point of the thread. I wanted to question how some women can freely put down men based on a genetic trait yet those same women will lose their minds if a man put down a woman on something she most likely chooses to be.

I find it hilarious when some big heifer of a lady comes along with some story of having no luck with men or men not being interested because of the weight, then loads more will come on and tell her there's nothing wrong and she's meeting the wrong men and the men are judgemental or shallow to make her feel better. If weight is an issue and you are conscious of it, then go and do something about it instead of sitting round drinking wine and eating pizza and Chinese and feeling sorry for yourself.
In nature, there is a thing called survival of the fittest - and part of that process involves species searching out the best possible mate to procreate with, to ensure healthy offspring. I don't think it's any different, it's something we do unconsciously and that's the way it is.

Yeah, definite truth in this post, thing is it's a harsh truth and the majority of people would rather not face the truth than actually challenge themselves to dealing with it, and this isn't just about weight and unhealthy habits, it's relative for a lot of things nowadays. People are top used to their comfort and getting everything easy and just don't want to bother with anything if it takes hard work. And those same people will put down others who are putting in the effort and hard work to make themselves feel better.

Anyway, there are obviously still a lot of men who are into fat/big (I won't say curvy as that word is completely misused and misunderstood nowadays) women and that's totally fine, but if it happens that the fat woman doesn't find any of those men good enough then she'll just have to admit to herself that if she doesn't make a change she'll have to settle for one of them. Women's friends seem terrible for fake reassurance like you describe, also. I've witnessed first hand a fat girl being told "oh men are shallow, there's nothing wrong with you, you deserve so much better" only for them to later talk about her behind her back and mock her. It's brutal. At least a lot of men have the balls to be upfront and honest with their friends and we thank one another for it because it helps us improve ourselves if we want to.
