Being tall has major advantages. The big one is protection. Look at Logan Paul vs Mayweather. Yeah Mayweather went easy on him and landed major punches on Logan but Logan did hit Mayweather and stung him. f*****g Manny Pacquiao couldn't do that and he's a better skilled fighter. But there is a reason you don't see Mayweather vs Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua. Those two would maul him because they are taller, longer reach, and more muscle potential to throw heavier punches.
Height and frame correlate with your ability to fight and protect and women value sufficient height and frame. A 5'6 manlet is going to protect Jack sh*t and probably won't have frame to go with it.
Women are the weaker sex and want their offspring (sons) to be as tall as possible because they know height is important for a man.
Now, balding is another flaw. It indicates aging and women don't care about the number, they care about looks. You can be 50 and look 37 and women in their 20s may still date you. However you can also be 21, norwood 7, and look old and not a single woman under 40 would want to talk to you.
I think for a man you can NOT be one of these three things or IT IS OVER.
1. Fat (bmi outside the healthy range) which you have control over thankfully.
2. Bald which you can try and may succeed at controlling with treatment and/or surgery.
3. Short which outside of extremely dangerous surgery, you have no treatment.
Since height has only extreme treatments, it is the most devastating problem. However balding is just as bad if treatments fail. I'm on treatment and honestly, I'm looking into Avodart because propecia isn't stabilizing hair loss as I'm still receding.
