Those are simply women you wouldn't want to be with. I don't see it as any different as if a woman discovered a guy had little money or had a small penis. It shows where their head is. Then again, I wouldn't want to hear these women complain if a guy bailed because he thought she was too fat or old.
He isn't short! He is average. I am shocked they didn't notice this in the movie. The other dude is 6'1. Lets not forget that heights are exaggerated in Hollywood so he is probably my height, 5'8 and the other dude is probably 5'11. or 6' even.
The harry potter dude is only 5'5 and women still drool over him. Height is not a factor in Hollywood as much as it is in real life but some women still will complain.
