Tall and large-framed women have the same problems. Most men don't want to be with a woman who's bigger than him. Most men don't want an 'unfeminine' woman (muscular, large bone structure, etc...not fat but imposing natural body structure). Even if she's not bigger than him, if she's too unfeminine or manly looking then she's out. A lot of men are put off by a woman having 'masculine' interests, hobbies, or occupations. And tons of men don't want their woman to earn more money than them.
Remember the Seinfeld episode where that woman Jerry dated had 'man hands'?
I think you're giving men wayyyy too much credit here and failing to see the other side. You seem to be imagining this from the perspective of an 'ideal' woman and ignoring the struggles of women outside of that range.
P.S. Try showing up for a date as a woman without shaving most of your body hair, dressing up and spending at least some time on your hair. Men definitely do expect a certain level of maintenance and thanks to porn most expect hairless armpits, legs and privates. No straight woman is shaving her whole lower body for other women, it's because it's generally expected by men. Ask most any woman...not dating/getting laid?...she's probably not shaving. And men don't tend to realize how much effort goes into even a 'natural' appearance. Men like to say they like no make-up but they don't even realize that the looks they like that are 'natural' involve a lot of work.
is it normal to be turned off by short guys?
