Disclosure: I am not short, nor unattractive and have had reasonable success with RP concepts. I am simply opening up a discussion based on my observations, and looking for additional input.

It seems that although the bulk of female attraction (70%) is based on a males physical strength, confidence, intelligence, grooming, and other reasonable optimizers. However there are several key factors on which a man has no control over that act as deal-breakers to women. These are:

  • Height

  • Facial structure (You can't hide an ugly face)

  • Ethnicity

Your chances of attraction deminish exponentially for each one of these boxes your genetics have checked. If you suffer from all three, you have a lot of ground to make up.

What we can see here is that there is no parallel to this when discussing a male's attraction to a female. There are no genetic traits a female can have (besides a disability perhaps) that will make a man walk away.

  • Men are flexible with height preferences

  • Makeup can cover up a bad face or it can be compensated by a great body

  • Men find women across many ethnicities to be attractive

The other perplexing nation, is that if a man trys to alter his height, face, or ethnicity through some artificial means (lifts, makeup, plastic surgery) he is immediately flagged as being odd.

So my question based on these observations is: how is this behaviour deemed acceptable by women, and what are a man's options to overcome these genetically imposed benchmarks?
