Are there any women not obsessed with height?

Let's assume a guy is good looking, educated, polite, humorous -- just a good solid person. What difference does it make if they're like 5'7'' and not 6'2''?? do you not feel attraction towards them just because of their height?

Personally, I don't mind as long as they are at least a little bit taller than me (5'3" for reference) so someone 5'7" would be more than acceptable in my opinion. That being said, a lot of girls would want someone taller. Just based on personal preference ig.
Oh good. This again.

I don't think I've met a woman to which this was an actual dealbreaker. Preference perhaps, but certainly not a dealbreaker. There might be some out there, but you wouldn't be that interested in each other anyway, so it's not really a big loss

A 5’7 man with those qualities will have plenty of options when it comes to dating.

This is a very silly question. Surely you’ve seen guys around 5’7 with girlfriends at some point in your life. So, you already know the answer to your question, no?
There are plenty of women who are not obsessed with anyone's height and willing to consider dating average guys that are shorter than 6ft.

Most women who date guys do seem to prefer dating guys a bit taller than they are.
But some women have no preferences connected with height, they are most focused on a guy's ambitions or achievements.

The obsession with dating guys taller than 6'1 tends to be an online dating thing.
Most prevalent within a few tinder and bumble cliques.
I low key prefer shorter men

i mean i personally couldnt care less, but i will add i am lit 5' so everyone is taller than me anyways and ive never needed to consider it. tbh i dont even think the women around me would care about the 6'+ thing or whatever if it wasnt for social media. now i think about it ig its the cute element of being protected bc theyre literally larger than you ? idk i dated a guy for a bit n he really liked that i was quite a bit shorter than him for similar reasons of being able to 'protect me' (from what god knows lolz)

i think its a guy thing too of being taller bc ik some girls who guys feel emasculated by their height n thus dont date them either

Yes, most of them by all accounts.

Honestly it depends. I've dated guys shorter than me but the entire relationship was about how weird we look standing next to each other, and the fact they're shorter than me among many other things. I think as long as you're not insecure about it, there's really nothing to worry about. Wishing you the best!

If you meet people in real life, I honestly don't think it matters that much, as other things about the person will come into the equation (e.g. hair/ face, vibe /style, professional / social status, personality / character etc.) and they all contribute to an overall picture. Maybe you need to be somewhat taller than her, but certainly not a 6'+ giant (unless she's got a thing for Dutch people or basketball players lol).

It's only when you're looking online when it really becomes a deal breaker... having said that, you have to consider the sheer volume of attention attractive (or even average) young women get from horny men on dating apps, social media etc... and I honestly believe many use the height as just a filter so they can get the amount of interested guys down to a manageable number (N.B. It's a bit like the 2:1 rule when looking for graduate jobs).

Based on the above, here's the solution:- Get your backside off the internet and start looking to meet women in real life. There's loads of stuff you can do from socialising in the pub / club scene, evening classes and / or activity groups... Go to the gym and become one of the faces there, or have a kickabout in the park with your mates arrange a day out and do something.

Heck no!, while a guy or girl being that tall is a huge attraction... so is them being shorter then me- either way, short or tall, people are fricken adorable!
as someone who is 5'8 i generally prefer people being similar height to me, but if i really like someone i would never be as shallow as to not give them a chance due to them being shorter.
it would be the same if someone were to comment on MY height, which I would be offended at (which has happened cause tall girls are generally looked past), so why would I preach judgement to someone else for something they cannot control.
