Returning to this thread, I had to give this some thought. I'd like to be open minded on the subject, but to be perfectly honest, I doubt that I would date a man shorter than myself unless there was some overwhelming attraction--i.e. I found him to be a kind, funny, intelligent man. I'd add to that I'd probably not date any man unless that was the case, but the lack of height would be a (ahem) shortcoming in my perception.
And I'd like to say that looks aren't everything, just as money can't buy love or happiness, but I can't agree. Just because Stephen Hawking is a brilliant physicist doesn't mean I want to play tonsil hockey with him. I doubt that I would be sexually attracted to a morbidly obese man, either. I doubt that I'm alone in that statement. I certainly wouldn't dislike anyone strictly on the basis of looks alone, but honestly speaking, in terms of love and romance, the looks do have a bearing. Of course, my definition of 'handsome' is pretty broad. I find Joe Bob Briggs to be swoon-worthy, and I've tried to get the husband to dress in western shirts and bolo ties, but it ain't happening.
