I posted up a poll on Reddit, this is the results I have obtained.

What about if you switch attractive/unattractive?

[ReadRothbard]

What about if you switch attractive/unattractive?

Agreed , face >>> height (within reason).

[HateLAPELoveSTEM]

What do u mean by 'attractive' and 'unattrative'? Do you mean 'having a good face' and 'having an ugly face'?
If the voters misunderstood what you meant by them and for sure they got lost in the meanings of options and this data won't wash.

[ReadRothbard]

I assume he's talking about face, which is an important problem in the poll given how crucial facial attractiveness is in the dating world.

[HateLAPELoveSTEM]

Agreed , face >>> height (within reason).

If you are referring to those who range from 178cm to 190cm, then for sure face >> height.
But as long as you are under 170cm, then it's another story.

I would say it's true as long as you're no more than 1 standard deviation below the norm. Even then, it's probably better to be good-looking and short over tall and ugly.

There’s a Chinese online dating forum I used to go to. Users have to be at least 23 and most are under 30. Most girls would say height matters more than looks if you ask them, and their height requirements were usually at least 175 cm+. However when short but good looking guys posted on the forum, I surprisingly found that they got a lot more positive comments under their posts and it seemed that girls suddenly stopped caring about height that much… I had never seen any ugly guys had many positive comments, no matter they were tall or short, rich or poor. It’s usually very quiet under their posts.

Yep, bingo: it’s better to be short and good-looking than tall and average or ugly

How short would be considered short in your opinion? Below 175?170?

[ReadRothbard]

How short would be considered short in your opinion? Below 175?170?

I would say below about 168/169 cm or so in the West.

A guy with 160 cm and handsome face can probably get more attention?

[Sambollio]

A guy with 160 cm and handsome face can probably get more attention?

Probably not, no. In the west that is so short a ton of women won’t be able to get over your height (in my opinion/ some studies I’ve seen on height/ own anecdotal experience). I’d say once you are 167 cm or less at least half the women will automatically write you off no matter what.

[ReadRothbard]

A guy with 160 cm and handsome face can probably get more attention?

160 would probably not, no, except for maybe 20-25% of women.

[SuchLL]

I think it depends on the average height in your area. If 160cm is at least above the average height of women, than a 160 cm guy with good looking is probably attractive.
