If a woman dates a tall guy, she will get tons of compliments from her friends and family. If she dates a short guy, she will get a "You can do better" vibe from her friends and family. Other problems if she dates a short guy include

* Can't look as photogenic as a couple. Short men do not look good in suits, and if he's not a head taller than her, they can't pull off numerous camera poses such as ones where he's holding her from behind.

* More risk of having a genetically unhealthy baby (e.g. low birth weight, low IQ).

* Doesn't feel as protected.

If I was a woman, I would not date short guys.

Keep trying. Somebody is bound to bite.

I dated a 5 7 guy once. Really into the guy but he messed ne around then ditched me.

I don't know if that had anything to do with his height. I was really into him but it didn't make any difference. One thing I noticed was I used to get loads of attention from other guys whenever I was with him. That might have been the way he treated me rather than his height though. I even got a couple of his friends apologising for how he was and later asking me out. Stupidly, I turned them down.

You only need one person to like you back and feel the same about them for a relationship. A short guy who is presentable, pleasant and reasonably diligent and hard working should be able to find a decent enough woman that loves them back. Most men don't date models or great beauties, whether short or not.

I would say your greatest problem is likely to be failure to.interact with women, failure to get to know them as people (rather than commodities to improve your social status and how you feel about yourself) and focussing too much on yourself. Only based in the fact you are posting in a known misogynistic website, rather than actually being one of those decent guys who has attracted a partner who cares about them.

As for running - you've got to be joking! Ever heard of Haile Gebreselassie!

nice trolling bro

Only problem with that statement is that Hollywood goes to great lengths to make him appear normal height in his movies. If women saw how short he is in real life, they would have a different impression of him.

That's totally incorrect daddy-o. Recall the blockbuster film "Top Gun," where he looked very short compared to the other actors. Even hot Kelly McGillis was taller than him. I remember after that flick came out, the dames went crazy over him. Maverick be da man! 😎

I guess height matters a little bit, but it definitely is the interaction. I'm 6'0 and get all kinds of smiles from women because I smile at them. Just be normal and talk to them like if they were one of your guy friends, but you want to donk them. If it doesnt go well, go on to the next one. I consider myself good looking (And have been told so), but even sometimes I cant close the deal. Don't linger and keep moving until you find somebody worthwhile.

If you're short then you shouldn't be scrawny otherwise that's two strikes against you. Hit the gym, invest in a solid wardrobe, be fun and confident, don't be a tightwad, and stop hating on people. You'll get laid more and won't be posting about illegal immigrants, Kenyans who join the WCAP, and trust fund babies. Seriously, people who don't get laid are a most spiteful ilk.

I do hit the gym and have some decent abs & biceps 💪. I also wear a lot of 3-piece suits & Italian leather shoes (I hear the dames like those). Though I'm not rolling in the dough, I'll unload the wallet on the right dame. I also practice everyday developing a "Sean Connery" type accent, which I hear is a big hit with the dames 👍.

Of course it does. Google how executives tend to be 6'1", the taller presidential candidate almost always wins, and how 6'5" guys are lusted after by women.

5"10" is average for white males in the US.

6'2" is at the 95th percentile.

5'7" is probably like 15th percentile or something.

Regardless, work on yourself. Make your body hard, wallet thick, and game tight. That's all you can do son.

This is true for the most part but you will still find girls attracted to short guys. Maybe not short and scrawny but i know many short husky guys with attractive partners.

Im 5'10 so height has never been an issue but id still love to be 6'1 or so. Face, money, physique, and personality all matter way more anyways at least

Oh women don't like short guys. They want you to be taller than them. Hence taller guys have an advantage since they can date a 5'3" girl or the tall 5'9" girl.

It's all on a continuum; the taller you are the better you are.

I read this one line in an article that said, "you can be ugly or a minority but you cannot be short." Shortness can be overcome with money, personality, and looks but it is another way for women to screen us out.

I'm a legit 5'10" (I say this since most men lie 1-2 in about their height) and I'd LOVE to be taller. Most of us would. But grateful for not being short. Just as smart people are grateful not being dumb for example.

it is better to be gay than to be short

I am 5'7" too. I don't bother with trying to find a date.

While it's true that some women will still find you overall attractive if you're 5'7", it's a fact that women much prefer a guy to be tall. That is to say, you might find mutual attraction, but you're kidding yourself if you don't believe she'd swap you out for a tall version of yourself if he existed. That a taller guy is more attractive than a shorter guy (all other things being equal) is about as universal a principal of attraction as that a person with clear skin is more attractive than a person with acne. Remember that sperm banks don't accept sperm of guys who are under 6'0", and that if you use online dating then at 5'7" you will be filtered out of every search.

You can still get with 5'3" girls (though average height girls at 5'5" and above will screen you) and shorter dude.

Be grateful for not being a minority; we get screened out a TON on online dating. Which is why I ask women out in person to have more success. Having a high-paid, high-status job helps as well as being confident.

In my state my race doesn't have a big presence and lack of familiarity makes us "alien-like" to women hence less willing to go out with us. Solution: move to a state where we are more common for more success either with same race shorties or for interracial dating. But moping around won't help in anything in life.

Tom Cruise is NOT a good example of short guys being successful because his height assuredly does NOT help him. He's wanted by women due to high status (celebrity), money, and GOOD LOOKS. Women care about many things and looks help for initial attraction. The things we can focus on are money, status, and personality.

Get a high-paid job (mine requires 11-15 yrs of post HS education), work on social skills, keep in shape, dress well, get contacts, get acne treated, etc. That's all you can do.

Hey daddy-o...I have a high-paying job too. I also try to emulate Sean Connery's accent (which is supposed to be a big hit with the dames), workout at a reputable gym that produces top bodybuilders, wear 3-piece suits with Italian leather shoes, wear baby-blue tinted contacts, have no acne and I regulary trim my handlebar mustache; I'm in it...to win it! 😁.

short guys can kick the shit out of your shins

None of this is the problem - this is you in denial. Just face the truth, Jamin. Accept the truth. The reason girls don't like little guys is because little guys have little penises. It's your tiny penis that is the problem Jamin and you know it. Your lack of confidence and endless excuses scream out tiny penis. It's not your height, it's never been your height, it's your tiny penis. Come on man, you know how lame you sound - how you look in a suit? That's ridiculous. It's your tiny dick. Every single one of your posts screams out "little penis". The effort you go through to look for other reasons is just sad. Just say it. Own it man. You need to come to terms with your tiny appendage as you are letting it define who you are.

^This. +1. Agree. As usual, jamin speaks the truth and hits it out of the park. For him personally though--as another poster pointed out--the situation re: women is made worse by his ridiculous view of politics and the world--a major turn off for all women. And, of cours, his micro-penis doesn't help.

Tom Cruise is 5'7 and he seems to have done all right.

Dude, "high-paid" is very subjective. Mine is at the 98th percentile but my friends are at the 99th percentile. The prestige of my job helps a bit to be fair. The stability of my job is most attractive to women though.

It's location dependent also; if you make X dollars in Iowa it's a lot more impressive and goes farther than X dollars in Newport Beach, CA.

Some people think that 70k a year is a lot, others think that 300k is a lot. Still others believe that 2 million is a lot. I met this girl that was dating this guy for his "money." (he made 24k a year) It's all relative and subjective.

I mean its hard to get laid when you're as tall as a middle schooler but Mo Farah's around that height so at least you have a running advantage.

I'm 5'8 but big where it counts. Girls only care for tall guys because they think they have big packages. Once they find out you are short with a bigger package they don't care.

Similarly, guys prefer shorter girls because they think are small and tight where it counts. As we know this isn't always the case.

If Tom Cruise wasn't a famous actor and he went to a club with 10 other guys who were who only moderately handsome but were 6'2", he would be the one who leaves emptyhanded. In movies like Mission Impossible and Top Gun, you don't see any scenes where his actual height is apparent.
