MsUnwritten makes a good point about the biological underpinnings of (sexual) attraction. I'm 5'4", pale, soft, and average-looking, so I've never exactly been fighting off the ladies. This can be frustrating since the overwhelming majority of women prefer taller men, and people are taller than ever these days.
Fortunately, my height is not the only thing that defines me (otherwise I would've jumped off a bridge a long time ago). In the real world I've found that kindness, openness, empathy, respect, humility, and good communication/listening are not lost on people; so this is the attitude I *try* to embody--particularly when it comes to women.
