Sun Devil Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I know that I have asked about my height and dating before. Some people said that no matter how hard I try and improve myself, I will not be able to get the girls simply because of my height. Other people have said that as long as I am confident, social, and fun to be with, I will have no problems getting girls. I even went to several pua forums and they all said that I should also be alpha. I want to know how bad it is for a guy my height Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 You aren't SOL but it won't be as easy for a shorter person compared to average or above average. Link to post Share on other sites
suladas Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 FFS really? Again? What is this like the 5th thread? What is your end game here? Get a women from the forum so tired of your complaining she offers to f**k you? Link to post Share on other sites
ThaWholigan Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Not as bad as people will tell you online. You'll probably encounter more rejection - it just depends on your patience and whether you can handle/deal with it. But all in all, there are girls out there who won't care at all. My brother's not as short as you (He's 5 foot 6), but he dates girls taller than him all the time. Link to post Share on other sites
Imported Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Did not realize the average height in the USA for men was 5'10.2". Thought it was 5'8"ish. I don't think it is that bad for short men. Unless you're short and ugly. Even worse if you're short, ugly and poor. Add in poor hygiene, no fashion sense, awkward to talk to, constantly making post crying about things that can't be changed and the family tree will probably dead end with you. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
monkey00 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 It's a confidence thing. I know short guys who have attractive girlfriends. My co-worker is 5' and his wife is stunning at 5'7". My friend (5'2") has a gf now who is around 5'5"...I know plenty of examples. Link to post Share on other sites

I would actually like to see a picture of that. Might inspire me (not that I want a girl that tall or that hot). Can you PM me? Link to post Share on other sites

No photo. I could be overestimating her height..could be 5'5", I've only met her once at a party. Seriously though his wife is pretty. When I first met her, it just boggled my mind how he got her. He's kind of the strong silent type and knowledgable about things, also has a strong hobby in sports. Link to post Share on other sites

You've also answered your question in the post. Perhaps you could be more specific? How are we measuring the badness of how bad it will be for you? I favour the Michael Jackson scale.

somedude81 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Sure short guys can get girls, but it is much more difficult for them then it is for average height guys. The vast majority of western list height as something they are attracted to in men. If you aren't tall, that's one less thing about you for her to be attracted to. Short guys really need something to make up for their lack of height. Being really smooth, having lots of confidence, be very funny, or simply being really rich. It's still possible to get a girl if one has one or more of the above. Having none of the above.... good luck. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Sun Devil Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 It's been a while since I visited this thread. I still want to how my height will affect me in dating, especially with college age girls. I still hear about short men who make a lot of money yet still are unable to get a girl. I also have heard from this thread about people who know short guys that are successful with women. Link to post Share on other sites
Mrlonelyone Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 It's been a while since I visited this thread. I still want to how my height will affect me in dating, especially with college age girls. I still hear about short men who make a lot of money yet still are unable to get a girl. I also have heard from this thread about people who know short guys that are successful with women. College age girls, say 17 to 23 ish? It will be harder for you. When it comes to hooking up NSA ONS kind of situations young women (and men) go for the physical. The more physical the better. That said it's not just about height. i.e. 6' guy who's 35% body fat Vs a 5'8" guy who's 15% body fat. Height will handicap you, especially in online dating. When it comes to relationships etc it's even more complicated. Because women who will screw you may not want to be in a relationship with you for any number of reasons. At that age, "image", is a big motivator. Being with you and not being the magic 3" taller when she's in 4" heels added to her being 5'9" is not a good image to a immature insecure young woman. If it's any comfort this happens for many reasons. I.e. A young white woman who has a fetish for black men but would never take one home for dinner. A young woman who has a thing for artist but would never go steady with one in hopes of hooking a business student. etc. Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldnt take anything they tell you too seriously. I'm 5'4 and the last guy I seriously liked was 5'6-5'7 which is considered short for a man. He wasnt uber confident, but he was pretty social and fun (not too overboard though...) I think shorter men have it harder but if you have a good personality it shouldnt be TOO hard. Are you going for girls shorter than you? Alot of girls just want someone not shorter than them Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sun Devil Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 There are not many girls shorter than me being only 5 feet tall. I also disagree with you about pua. From one of your previous threads, pua did work on you. I see pua as a way of improving my personality. Being myself will get me nowhere Link to post Share on other sites

filmguy000 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well I'm a dude that's 5'6. Did my height have an effect on my dating life? Sure. Many women are just programmed to want men who are taller than them. And I mean TALLER. And I really believe that nowadays its become much more difficult for the shorter men since the females of this generation appear to be far more shallow than previous generations. Women have a far greater sense of entitlement nowadays (not always a bad thing...but true). Yet even though they have more say and liberties (especially sexual) then their predecessors, the fact is that they are still females. And females are wired to want someone who is more protective worthy. Therefore, a typical strong, independent modern women will want a man with with exceptionally good genes, hence exceptionally tall. Not so much an average joe who is 5'8 and below. Now I'm not saying this to discourage anyone or to bash females. I'm just describing fact based on observation. This does not mean that short men are doomed to a lifetime of loneliness. It just means that we tend to be overlooked far more often than our taller counterparts. But one thing that I must say is that confidence is DEFINITELY key for short dudes. If you talk to a girl like she is a goddess, she will find you "cute" but won't even entertain the idea of hooking up with you. But if you talk to her like she is cool but isn't all that important, she may become more intrigued. I learned to go with this approach and I won't say I'm a total ladies man. But I will say that I had success on quite a few occasions. Yeah you will see tall guys get girls with far less effort, but the way I see it, my way is more exciting So to all the "short" men, you are still men....so stand tall and move forward. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
