Some of these guys make it seem like they have no prospects because they're like 5'7 or whatever .

Do you actually feel this way?

Honestly myself im 6'1 and my 5'8 pal gets way more attention from women than me.

Of course thats anecdotal, but.

    I think a lot of looks stuff is more like... it's never a barrier overall, but if you you're on the real extreme end it can make things quite a bit harder.

    If your dream is to be with a really hot person, you either have to be rich or also somewhat hot. You don't have to be AS hot though, if you're nice or funny or whatever.

    I can't really weigh in on height - I'm a middle of the road 5'11 (and a half), but I have felt that impending sense of doom when I've been dancing with someone in a club and then a 6'4 leviathan enters the fray. Usually it's alright, but if someone has a penchant for a tall man, then it can sometimes be inevitable. But the club is humanity at its most shallow and primal.

    That said, I know a guy who is literally 4'11, a bit out of shape, wears the strangest outfits, behaves abnormally in ways that sometimes makes people uncomfortable, has a drinking problem, and has an autistic fixation with Zelda... and yet he literally always has a girl at his side. And he will go through about 3-4 a year. And it's with girls who could easily be with more stereotypically attractive men.
