Artistic - say you couldn't date a short man and the taller then better.
Is absolutely not a preference, its 100% a requirement you have. If it were a preference you would be saying something like "I don't mind dating short men and have done in the past, but i prefer men a bit taller", what you said is that you basically require men to be tall and the taller then better.
Women on this thread need to get over themselves and realise men can't change their height, but being short doesn't make a man any less of a man, so no reason why anyone should be rejecting short men.
As for short angry men since i seen a few comments on this post about that, A) plenty of angry people come in all different shapes and sizes, matter of fact most of the angry men i know with chips on their shoulders just so happen to be tall. B) short men i'm sure get frustrated due to constant rejection by shallow women i am sure, which may come across as angry, i'm sure all the shallow women who posted on here would be delighted and very happy to be constantly told by the opposite sex that they won't date them because they are short or blue eyes or something they can't change, i don't expect any women on this post to understand what its like for a short man to be constantly rejected for something he has no control over and can't change, to have to spend a life alone and unloved all because he just so happens to be god forbid 3 or 4 inches below average height, maybe some of you would be wise to go and look at 3 or 4 inches on a ruler and realise it's not at all much. Rejecting good men, just because of height is as superficial and shallow as can be, and completely silly, what do you all have? daddy issues that you need men to be so tall or something? Seriously cop on and realise there's more to a man then just height, the amount of women and friends i see dating tall men who are complete monsters to them and treat them terribly just because said man is 6ft, while they are rejecting shorter men makes me just think other women have no respect for themselves, its actually embarrassing that a woman chooses to date a tall man who has absolutely no respect for her, yet turns down a shorter man who would treat her great, no wonder divorce rates are sky high.
