Speaking of the height thing, I did have a long conversation a year or two ago with one of my friends about it. He's 6 feet, and I'm around an inch shorter than him. But I never saw the whole appeal with height. I've always just been glad I'm average. But I remember he said he would literally find no worth in life if he was 5'7. And he went on this long tirade on how he would be cursed to never enjoy anything (he used to be really short, btw), and then I brought up that Tom Cruise was 5'7. If he could have all of that fame and success, but he'd need the height too, would he take it. And he immediately said he wouldn't, even with all of that. Idk, I thought it was hilarious. 

It might have nothing to do with how women view men's height but I thought it worth noting that some people really see it as something to do with self esteem. He was really saying he just didn't think he'd have any value as a man if he was that short.
