Do you think height is the most important factor when it comes to mens attractiveness towards women?

I mean surely other things matter more than height like a good looking face or having a decent job with loads of money right?

I am 5'4" and unfortunately it does seem most women care about height quite a bit too much.

Do you think most women would rather date an average looking 6'2 guy over a good looking 5'6 man?

Yes personally I think women seem to almost always go for taller guys unless the short guy has the charisma of a demigod.

Is your mom representative of ALL women?

All other factors being equal, while a person's visual appearance is important for making a good impression, it is the personality that keeps people's interest.

No.
For a short woman like me, height is no factor at all.
Scent is the most important physical factor.
When the scent is okay, non-physical factors matter.

You missed an option: No, most women don't care about height. Both of your options imply thinking women generally care about height.

I can't say I've ever given it much thought.

I happen to be short myself though and so not a lot of guys are shorter than me.

Well for most people the first impression you see is the outward physicality of a person so maybe height, a good head of hair and a good set if teeth would perhaps win over a short, bald man with bad teeth.

That's human nature. I think it's darwinism.

I read somewhere (a long time ago) that babies born as the the result of a one night stand have really strong genes because if the physical attraction that takes place on a one night stand.

I'm a shrimp at just under 5 foot 5. Height sometimes is a factor---but not usually.

Most of my girlfriends have been within a couple of inches of my height.

My wife is precisely my height----though she claims I'm shorter than her.

I never really gave it much thought at first, i thought it was all about handsome looks, athletic build, money in the bank, but yeah i think it has importance in a woman's mind.
