I don’t think shorter women are as limited because it’s socially acceptable for the female to be much shorter than the male, but not the other way around. That said, I think for a woman, above average is the ideal. I’m average and want to be slightly taller, maybe 5’6. Men don’t seem to want women who are too tall, but they do seem to prefer women who are average to above average, in the 5’4-5’7 range. I suppose shorter men prefer small girls though. So I can see why short women would feel they are stuck with shorter men, although that’s not always the case. It’s true that short people of both genders get teased and there are some negative attributes, but overall it’s tougher for men, dating-wise. I’m average, but my boyfriends are always pretty tall for some reason, like 6 ft and over.
