Of course you are right, but how would you like it if someone would post a thread about ''girls: how to attract guys: and puts, wear make up to hide your blemishes, wear padding to make your ****s look bigger. Buy branded clothes. and yeah lie a bit about yourself so you would stand-out among others?
Not sure what rock you've been living under, but that's how girls do attract guys. If a girl goes out and looks like she just rolled out of bed, guys won't give her a second look. For guys its even tougher since guys are the ones who have to approach a girl, so if a pretty girl gets approached buy a guy who looks like a creature from lord of the rings, why would she give him the time of the day over a hot guy who takes care of himself? There have been studies done that a girl will (subconsciously) determine if the guy is sexable within the first minute of meeting him. You don't think, "hmmm this person is unattractive, but maybe he has a good personality, let's give him a chance anyway even though I'm not attracted to him". C'mon get a real! If you want to meet new people in the dating scene, they don't know how great of a guy/girl you are, how nice you are, how smart you are, how caring you are. The only thing they have to judge you in that moment is your appearance, so if you look like ****, they won't give you a second look and move on to someone else. If you don't think first impression counts for a whole lot, you're in serious denial. Harsh, but just being realistic.
And even if you go outside the dating scene, there have been countless studies that short and unattractive people are less successful in all areas of life. You can whine all you want how unfair and superficial the world is, but that's the world you live in and there is nothing you can do about it except face reality:
According to this study:
A 2004 study by psychologist Timothy A. Judge, Ph.D., of the University of Florida, and researcher Daniel M. Cable, Ph.D., of the University of North Carolina, found that every inch of height amounts to a salary increase of about $789 per year (the study controlled for gender, weight and age).
By this calculation, someone who is 6 feet tall earns $5,525 more annually than someone who is 5 feet, 6 inches. Over the course of a career, of course, those numbers can really add up.

P.S. I'm not trying to argue with anyone or bring anyone down. I"m just sharing what has helped me from being an overweight unattractive guy to a guy girls want to be with. If even one person reading this makes positive changes in his life and is happier as a result, I would be very happy!
