Ive played around with personas a bit, while obviously my hight stays the same.
Height is not the be all end all. Even at 6'4", if I get a bit chubby, I get zero attention from women and the ones I contact basically need to be treated like relationship wife material to get anything going. If I work out for 6+ months, cashier's are giggling and fumbling my change every time I buy something.
If I'm feeling off that week or month and not putting out "interesting fun vibes" I'll get ghosted pretty fast online. If I'm in the mood to put in the work, they're ready to take my home after the first date.
I bet that if a 5'6" man is rocking a great personality, he will outdo a tall man with a bland personality. Is it easier to fake a positive attitude when you're tall and feel stronger than most guys around? Sure. I think this is what women associate with height more than just pure height.
A 5'8" firefighter could easily steal the gf of a 6'4" chubby software developer, atleast for a few nights.
