Idk, I mean this is just anecdotal, but my heterosexual brother is 5’6”, pretty average looking, and he’s always been a ladykiller with short girls. But he’s also not awkward or shy and has an outgoing personality. So I think that has a lot to do with it too. Honestly short/feminine straight guys who complain about women never dating them always have insufferable personalities which would probably turn women off anyway. It’s a game of “are women not dating you because you’re unattractive, or because you’re a shitty person?” Like, have you seen some of these boyfriends straight women have? They’re ugly as hell. Im skeptical as to whether ugliness is the true problem here.

Well it's all anecdotal unless you do an empirical study, which is why I find the statistical analyses interesting. But I acknowledge the built-in biases these studies have, namely that they select for people who look for mates online. Those who find their mates "out in the world" are, statistically speaking, more extroverted and probably also more attractive in general.
