	Hi, folks, 

	What I seem to be hearing from these net-notes is that
	the GREAT MAJORITY of women place quite a lot of
	importance on height in men. 
	I've heard this from friends before, but remain a bit
	skeptical; i'm 5'5", and though i've had my share
	of rejections, always felt that it was a bit of a
	"cop-out" to blame them on any height difference.
	I've certainly never been TOLD so directly, and for that
	matter, my last girlfriend was a couple inches taller.

	But maybe i'm too idealistic.

	So what about it, ladies? Is the situation really bleak?
	If it is, is there anything to be done for it?
	To encourage a larger response, here is a short "survey".
	Please fill it in and mail to me, and I will summarize to the net. 

	Do it today!   Thanks much!
