Is being SHORT a SHORTCOMING?

I have observed over time that there's a conscious label on being short,in height i mean,especially for guys.When has being short become in anyway similar to being super model slim?Young girls whenever the discussion comes up always cherish taller guys over shorter guys.Does being short reflect a lack of capability to be protective,caring,masculine and maybe in control?Does it make the short guy less fashionable,recognized,and probably not fitting int0 the status of an ideal partner?I've had several discussions with females of my age,and have come to realize most of them have some a higher likeness for tall guys,at least taller than they are.Most of them claim to prefer this height status because they are short or smaller in stature,and won't want their kids to propagate the "being short" gene.Some females claim they look more compatible and secure with a taller guy. Anyway,whether short,tall,fat,or slim,being short for guys is becoming a cause for concern amongst the assumed affected species,and is gradually assuming a status of discrimination.Maybe further research should be carried out to really prove scientifically the relationship between being short and prospective labeling from it.
