Oh trust me, women care about height, and they care a lot. We tend to forget it as shorter men are all trying to cast a massive beacon of cope: "Look at Lionel Messi!" as one of my short friends would say.
Many times, the girls I've dated would mention this stellar-looking man they've been with, dreamy, great in bed, etc... "But he's short!" they would add, "So I could not keep on seeing him."
It's heartbreaking for the shorter guys out there but that's how it is these days. My girlfriend said the guy she dated before me wasn't too bad, but he was short so she could never have introduced him to her family.
Of course some women won't care, just like some women won't care about baldness, but it's a disadvantage you don't want to have.
I wouldn't be aware of my advantage if it wasn't for these forums. I'm getting more and more muscular and at 6'3, I'll be on a whole other level than these short guys who are ultimately seen as overcompensating, I'm glad that thought will never cross anyone's mind about me (still a bit worried about being see as overcompensating for my lack of hair though).
Being tall is so powerful that it was the main reason I didn't become incel when I was bald.
I'm towering over my girlfriend and like almost all the girls I've dated (except the ones who were 6'), she loves that feeling.
I recently met the best female friend of my girlfriend: cute slim Polish girl. Her boyfriend? Plain ugly, slightly deformed face, beady eyes that were magnified by his huge glasses. His only redeeming qualities? 6'2 and a slightly toned body.
Height theory confirmed indeed.
