I didn't really read all the replies here but I just want to comment on this thread,
I'm a pretty short guy (5'8") although of course not a "midget" by any means. However I usually have a blast in clubs and dance with many girls, including taller ones. Now that I think about it, I've almost never seen a tall guy approach a girl in a club and dance with her - the only time I saw that was in Vegas last year, actually.
What seems to be happening is that if you're a stranger and you approach a girl in a club, being tall can make her feel unsafe. You might be successful in most other social functions but not this "meat grinder" environment.
One other thing is that if you're shorter it's easier to lose yourself in the crowd in the club. This has its advantages.

Yeah, anyone over 6'2" or so is a goddamn giant, as far as I am concerned.
I've never fully understood why women seem to find taller men more attractive, but then again, I was raised as a male and imbued with the illusion of self-attractive physical dominance. I guess maybe I don't mean 'taller' - I mean humongous. Do most women find comfort in the fact that they could be completely overpowered by their mate's stature at any time? Sound enough, but I still don't see a particular reasoning other than conditioned thought.

tall guys don't approach girls...um no. short guys can give off unsafe / sketch vibes just as well as tall ones. being tall doesn't more readily equate to being intimidating...i was good friends with a guy who was 6'8" and he threw discus so he was freaking built, not fat at all and he looked like the nicest person in the entire world. nobody ran away from him.

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.
To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

Im 5'1" and I the worst part about going to the clubs... and bars too, actually, is getting slammed around a lot (and elbowed in the face sometimes, too). People LITERALLY dont see me. I mean, why would they? Everyone looks right over my head.
Dancing is okay. I get by. Although I dance best with my best friend who is 5'8 or something. So not THAT tall. I dont think Ive ever danced with someone thats really tall.

i think sometimes tall guys can be awkward dancers. the only good tall dancer i've ever seen is Tony (aka glass).

...and like any nice guy, he would probably come to the club as part of a group of friends, just to chill and have some fun. That agrees with my experience and proves my point.
