While height certainly gives taller chaps an advantage in many cases, I'm certain that a 5'7" guy with the right levels of humour, empathy and communication skills could beat a six footer any time. Back in Oz, one of the best guys with women I knew was 5'6", although he was a good looking guy. Tall is an advantage in the same way in which looks is an advantage. That is, it's almost insignificant to the vast majority of women. There are always exceptions of course, but there's enough women out there for this to be irrelevant. "Attractive" doesn't necessarily mean "good looking".
Generally speaking, women test - consciously or unconsciously - for survival skills. Strong, socially adept men who can dominate an interaction and aren't afraid to walk away tend to demonstrate many of the attributes women are looking for. In general, pickup artists demonstrate those attributes and the only distinction is whether they're faking it well or they've simply reached a point where it's all natural.
When you're in that space, women not only enjoy you, but compliment you on your spine and willingness to call them on their bullshit. Far too many men are spineless in the face of a woman's disapproval and unwilling to jeopardise the interaction by risking her anger.
Some women, I find object to the very idea of pickup artists. Finding such women amongst subs is especially amusing because I tend to find it's subs who are most likely to be self-aware, enjoy being a woman and appreciate a man who enjoys being a man. Basically, self-aware women who are secure in themselves. It's only the insecure women who have a problem with it and proclaim that they could never be picked up by such men.
The irony, of course, is that such women are generally easier to pickup because they believe their virtue protects them.
