I'm 6'2", have a few friends who are short, in the 5'5"-5'8" range, and have talked about this with pretty much all the women I'm friends with. Yes, this is true, you're right. It is almost certain to be a genetic thing. Everybody here saying they know some short guy who gets lots of girls or is a short guy and is happily married, well, this is not actually what the parent is saying. He's just saying there's a huge disavantage in being short. He's right. Try this mental test the next time you see a very short, slim, but quite good looking guy. Now imagine him in a 6'3" build. It to men who do this mentally, it drastically changes the appeal this guy has. This was told to me by a woman friend, and it happens everytime I think about it. Also, the Tom Cruise example is a bad one. Women see him in movies, where you can't tell their height. If you're successful, smart, a good person (or much more important: not a jerk), you can find a good person and have a relationship, a meaningful, lasting one, with her. But if you base your romantic success in how easily you get dates/get laid compared to taller guys, then you'll probably end up frustrated.
