...And this is only a personal opinion -- worth pretty much nothing, probably -- but to my eyes, there's just something that looks 'right' when the woman is shorter in a couple (although not too short: one girl in my class who was like 4 foot nothing married the tallest guy in the school who was heading for 7 feet -- they look very *very* odd together, a bit like a circus act or something). Good luck!

put the truth. if a woman is shallow and only cares if you are taller than she is then she's not going to be worth the effort to find out.
unless you are 5'2" or 5"4" you have many options.
my husband is about 5'5" but he looks much taller.. he prefers to wear boots... if he was concerned he could put lifts in them since I'm 5'2" and can't wear heels it's not an issue for us.

 Put your height there. Whenever I see the physical attributes section left blank, or undisclosed I suspect some kind of birth defect or disability. If you are healthy and strong that's all it matters. I understand that you want to leave it blank because you don't want women to disqualify you instantly without talking and getting to know you first. It's true that women like tall men but there are women who look past the height issue. When women know that why you leave it blank then they may think you are insecure and that makes it worse. I think height is the one of the first things to ask so there is no hiding. If women have to reject you because of height it would be better if the women didn't reply to your message than her saying no to you upon asking how tall you are.
You know what bothers me most about most online profiles? It's that they don't put good photos there. Very few men actually smile at the camera. They must be trying to look sad and pitiful. Be interesting in your profile. Be sincere in your approach. Give women the confidence that they will be happy with what you can offer.
