Dating Advice for a Short Man?

LOL, looks that way.

I’m 5’6 and my college girlfriend was 5’11, with most of her height advantage in her legs. But we had the same hobbies like martial arts and D&D and I was a black belt with a three hundred pound bench press and she was more opinionated than many men (and women) liked in a woman. If someone is looking for a quantity of encounters, then I suppose there are a variety of tactical considerations, but if someone is looking for a quality relationship, patience, honesty, and your own qualifications as a mate should be cultivated.

My husband is 3-4" shorter than me. I’m 5’6". As far as I understand he never had issues meeting or getting women. I certainly noticed that he was/is shorter than me but the only time it’s an issue is when we’re squatting. I just learned to set up with the bar lower :smile:

Attitude is everything.

Apparently she began the first message with “are you into trans women?”

He just never responded (he claims).

So you’re saying somewhere out there is a tranny waiting for a response huh? Cold blooded


Can’t say I know what it feels like to feel so short, I’m 5’11. But your story does remind me of when I worked retail in college. We would have a customer come in, he must’ve been 5’4 to 5’5. Really nice guy, very polite, well kept, and he would joke around with us if something funny came up. He would always show up with his SMOKING HOT WIFE!! This woman, had an amazing body, gorgeous face, and was probably 5 inches taller than him. Also very well kept. I thought maybe he made a ton of money, but he didn’t seem to be too flashy, so I just chalked it up to him probably being hung like a horse. Either way his wife seemed to really love him, the way she stared at him and the way they interacted made it clear it wasn’t about money, also they had kids.

I’m sure money helps, but in the end just keep being a good guy and you’re bound to find someone who really likes you. You’re still young, try maybe going places you don’t normally go to. See if a different set of people would do you some good.

I am 6’4" and my wife is 5’2". Honestly if I were a single man I probably wouldn’t date any taller than that. What pisses me off about being tall is (I believe) they tag smaller shirts with a bigger size so the smaller guys can feel a little bigger. I sometimes shop with my wife and think they do the opposite with women’s clothes.

I was a 6’3” freshman and all the girls loved me when I was kicking ass at sports. Walking down the halls I was a freak.

Although, now my biggest problem is I can’t fit in any sports cars and shoes are near impossible to find. Fuckng sucks.

Edit:

Solid point, had three flights yesterday. My knees and back hurt today. Not to mention every fat ass who walks down the aisle mid flight either steps on my toes, which are in the aisle, or slams their fat ass against my shoulders.

If I’m 6’1", where do I sit to get boobs to knock into my face?

I always sit at the seat in front of the bartenders sink when I go to Hooters.

I couldn’t stop laughing at this

Damn lol Does he smell bad as well?

Related, make sure you smell great, your teeth are clean and hair/nails trimmed (make sure you dont have hair coming out of your ears or nose lol) Try look after your skin as well, women seem to notice nice skin - make sure all scales are removed. That goes a very long way.

Thanks for the CONSTRUCTIVE comments from people like Flipcollar. I shall bear these in mind. As for the insults and rudeness displayed by those on here with less IQ I shall put your petulant comments and observations down to a lack of intellect and also an underdeveloped capacity for empathy and understanding, otherwise termed emotional intelligence.

so now you’ve had people with PERSONAL experiences, both men and women, who disagree with your belief. Does that change your opinion at all?

Own who you are and be yourself. There’s nothing wrong with short, so don’t worry about it. And 5’7" ain’t that short. 5’4" is short. 5’7" is average.

Also, don’t be in a hurry. You might accidentally meet ‘the one’ and then you are stuck with her the rest of your life.

Most men have bad experiences with women. And vice versa. It makes for great song lyrics.

I like being an elder statesman. You can learn from my mistakes. Don’t rush anything. Embrace who you are and like it. Also, don’t put women on a pedestal, they are just regular people like you and I. I made that mistake and it made me miserable. Once you figure that out, then you will be far less intimidated. And if you have the means, travel, as much as you can, experience the world. It’s the best education you can get.

After reading this thread I’m wondering if I should stop driving my truck.

You should consider the concept of the false because. Although it won’t really help you with your height directly, it might explain your experience.

Some women might tell you that things aren’t working out because of your height. However, if a fantastically charismatic, confident, rich, fit, good looking, well-groomed man showed interest in a woman, about 95% of them could overlook the fact that he was 5’7”. The others are just being honest that they need a man of a certain height before they feel it. This is not to say that your height has nothing to do with any rejection you have faced or that your experience wouldn’t be different if you were taller. But you almost certainly weren’t rejected in most cases solely based on height.

The height reason is something that women tell themselves and you because it’s convenient and easy. It’s convenient because she doesn’t have to dig deep and understand the real balance of reasons. It’s convenient because you can’t argue with it. It’s convenient because from a certain point of view it’s actually nicer because there is nothing you can do about it and thus it isn’t your fault.

I don’t think most women actually consciously make this decision. Most people make decisions based on something they can’t explain and then make up the reasons afterwards. Height is just an easy reason to make up. And it’s probably true that if you were taller they would like you better. Or maybe they’d just give you a different reason to end it. Either way, focus on what you can change.

I put mine on Craigslist immediately. Also selling the ol’ Corvette to buy a Camry.

Instead of putting it down to the fact you’re a whiny little douche? Just like you put the fact you can’t get girls down to the fact you’re a manlet when in fact it’s because you’re a whiny little douche?
