I mean, just look at WP for example, you women agree with each other most of the times - for example, in this thread you all agree with fluffysaurus's post. At least the women who are within the same culture (or very similar cultures).
See? You are clones!!

We're clones, but epigenetically we're still different.
OK, the most striking difference between me and any of them is that I'm more immature, impolite and annoying.
There's just alot of practical issues to consider. My bed is too short, my bathtub is too short, chairs are too small.. Also if she keeps bumping her head against the ceiling continuously over a long period of time, it might cause brain damage. I wouldn't want my girlfriend to suffer health issues by living with me.

At least one of these issues is solvable. You could get a swimming-pool.

No.
For the majority of people one can potentially be changed with simply eating more controlled portion sizes, the other requires expensive high risk surgery with a high chance of leaving you permanently crippled.
That's what I thought. I thought weight could be changed by simply eating more controlled portion sizes. Real simple solution yet many people act like it's impossible. When I suggested it to my ex she started crying. I've heard people say that eating less calories causes weight gain (How?)
The trouble is, modern junk food is carefully designed to be addictive. Would you expect a smoker or a drug addict to have an easy time quitting? Same with modern junk food.
So the reason my ex couldn't quit eating krispe kreme is because she was literally addicted to it. At first I thought it was strange that she kept saying she wanted to lose weight and then ate krispe kreme every day but addiction explains it. No, I'm not trying to defend her.
I have a totally unproven hypothesis that the fat acceptance movement is encouraged by fast food chains and snack food companies. This addiction to unhealthy food is making some people very unhealthy, how convenient for krispe kreme that there's a movement trying to normalize the effects of the health problems they cause.
Edit: Sorry if I'm repeating myself Outrider, I suspect you've heard this before. I realize height can't be changed but that doesn't mean women aren't allowed to have a preference for tall guys. Sexual preference can't be changed either. You can't force gay people to like members of the opposite sex, you can't force straight people to like members of the same sex, you can't force some men to like obese women, you can't force some women to like short guys, etc.

I think you're completely off with your hypothesis. The fat acceptance movement is fueled by jealousy, like every other equity movement.

Even women's suffrage?

That's not an equity movement.

So the visual aspect doesn't affect on you at all?
Okay, did the exercise. I don't say I'm not interested in physicality but I'm not visual.
So I imagine the texture of his skin, tension of his muscles, his scent, his movements... it's all physical only not visual.
With the short stature you just miss - exactly 50% of my former boyfriends were under 5'5 and none of them did exceed 5'8.
You didn't turn on the light, did you?
More details would be too private to share but we didn't break up.
On the other hand, you seem to be fixed on "women are X or Y" and totally ignore the fact that women are individuals, no less than men are.
I don't really believe much in individualism especially when it comes to attraction and dating, and my past experiments and reinforce very strongly this belief.
Humans are almost clones genetically and aren't as individual as most people think - look at political parties followers for example.
If this whole short guy thing is a real problem then why is it a problem for some men and not others? I’m not sure Tom Cruise would have problems finding a date.... I still don’t believe it’s a real thing.
