I think every guy suffering from insecurity or sadness about a certain physical "flaw" needs to have an epiphany of acceptance. Understanding that, statistically speaking, some men have to be short, ugly, etc. and that the Roll of Dice landed unfavorably in our case. There is nothing we can do about it -- and this is whether your insecurity is valid or not. Many would argue that having a gigantic dick is a bad thing, for example.

After internalizing this thought, you'll naturally move onto thinking "then this just means that I have to try harder than the rest... so be it". There is no such thing as "equality" among all individuals because then we'd just all be clones of ourselves. Some people are just born with relative "bonuses" over us and this was the doing of genetic randomness.

The mistake is believing that there is nothing we can do to change it. I personally like reminding myself that all great people were and are regular people like me. We're not cut from a different cloth. Eminem was a random nobody who reached that level. I'm also a random nobody until I achieve great things through hard work and creativity. People do not just randomly reach a high point. I don't know why we tend to only see the outcome of a person and not the hardships that led to it. Mystery was a piece of shit at first, look at him now.

Good comment man

[–]throwwhatthere 15 points16 points17 points 12 years ago (22 children) | Copy Link

Yes. It's especially easy if you target girls in your height range (aka no taller than you). There are plenty of shorter girls out there. Girls don't need you to be the tallest dude in the world, just sufficiently taller than them.

Remember, looks are important, height is important, but these are not the end of the story. A short man with good frame will be a tall man with shitty frame pretty much every time.

I've been short my whole life, and truthfully it's never given me trouble with getting in the door with women. I just never really thought about it as a handicap, and so it never affected my frame. This was the case even in bluepill days.

The lesson: The vast majority of weaknesses are only such if you perceive them to be. Women will sense your comfort with yourself, and that will give them more tingles than any numerical measurement could.

Seconded. 5'5 here. Height is not an issue for me, but ironically I prefer women shorter than me, my current gf is 5'4.

[–]ayjayred 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

when she wears heels, she becomes taller right? How does that make you feel?

[–]Dream4eva 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Although height has power, that power can easily be removed by picking her up and tossing her around playfully.

Let her know you are in command.

[–]Carbone 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It made him wanna fuck her ASAP

When my ex-gf wore high heel I fucked her right away.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Good question, but it doesn't matter. I notice, because I'm not used to it, but it doesn't really make me "feel" anything. It's not that much of a difference. My ex was taller than me anyways and she wore heels more often. I have never cared.

[–]throwwhatthere 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, I'm dating a 5' 3" girl right now. Definitely like a shorter chick.

That being said, it's been pretty damn easy since I found TRP. I'm 6'6 too. What do you do different now since you found TRP?

[–]throwwhatthere 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I've heard some talk guys talk about feeling like they can't be alpha b/c their height already makes them intimidating. Many a talk man has presumptively beta'd himself for this reason.

I'd guess (tall folks please weigh in!) that a better approach is to go for cocky/funny or amused mastery. Anything that avoids outright violent type aggression should work well for them.

Then again, I generally perceive amused mastery to be the most versatile/indispensable type of frame for anyone.

[–]sadproz 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link

This is what I've been trying to say but in getting backlash for a couple TRP endorsed people here. Apparently looks and muscle composition are the be all end all.

I've use Daniel Craig as a perfect example. He's short and facially ugly as it gets. But since Layer Cake he's exhibited Alpha behavior that has landed him much love from women and male fans. He didn't get the James Bond gig because of his looks or height. He got it because he plays the part well, aka has the behavior. Of course looking the part is part of exhibiting the behavior, but it's the behavior that creates tingles. Having a gym body just improves effectiveness. Taking boxing lessons improves behavior and would be equally if not more recommended than just lifting for looks.

Walking around like your a dangerous summamabitch is what Alpha is about. Height is a disadvantage that can be compensated. Look at Napoleon.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Daniel Craig is like 5'10...

[–]sadproz -2 points-1 points0 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Which isn't the typical Alpha standard. When girls say they want a tall man because it gives them the tingles they are referencing 6' and over.

A 5'10" guy is usually out Alpha'd from a height perspective in a group of guys, at least in the US. Anything below 6' you're starting to be considered short.

This isn't gospel but in many pockets it's a standard that a "tall handsome man" is 6' and over.

A 5'10" will still get shit tested from women that they are short. I don't find that fair but I don't make these social conditioning rules.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Yeah but a 5'6 guy is short while a 5'10 guy is just not tall.

[–]sadproz -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's subjective, situational and so on. 5'10 is tall as fuck in Asia. It's short in other places. In a social circle 5'10" can be a short compared to other men. I'm not saying have a pity party for 5'10"ers but that the act of behaving like an Alpha is the way of the shorter man. I think that's the takeaway.

[–]throwwhatthere 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Not nitpicking, but Napoleon was actually average height for a Frenchman of his day. The short thing is all British propaganda meant to emasculate him. Amazing how effective it was, no?

No surprise then that some guys get pretty hung up on height. To turn it around: do you think Napoleon had trouble getting laid? Man coulda probably slept with half of Europe.

Or, via Kissinger: "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac." Reflect on that. It's power alone. No matter how you express it, if you communicate power, vaginas will flow like Niagra falls.

[–]sadproz 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

That is interesting. I'll amend my understanding of Napoleon.

I like the quote, "Everything is about sex, except for sex. Sex is about power."

Comparing yourself to actors isn't going to do you any good. Their height is being faked a lot. Just look at Tom Cruise.

5' 6.5''

[–]DukeHollywood 8 points9 points10 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Can't empathize with the shortness as i'm quite tall but wanted to jump into this thread to say one thing.

Any shorter guys should consider a trip or move to SE Asia. I'm in the Phillipines right now and none of the girls i've banged are taller than 5' 3"

The girls here are tiny and they love white guys.

Even if it's not something you'd want to do long term I think it could help any shorter guys to up their game and really feel that abundance mentality.

[–]weeews 11 points12 points13 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Tfw when short filipino guy lol

[–]ayjayred 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Part asian here, can confirm. In fact, almost all asian countries love white guys. Especially those in 3rd world countries.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I am not white. I am Mexican, and to make things worst, I seem to have a high preference for Mexican and white girls... the to make things worst was regarding white girls. I have heard some of them say they would not date a guy under 5'11, and it's no that rare to hear that.

The cognitive dissonance is so rampant with women you can't really buy into that.

I'm not tall, 5'7, but have slept with taller women before (up to 6')... I have even been told "I usually don't go for shorter guys" on the way home after picking up a much taller girl. What they think they want doesn't really align with who they will actually be attracted to and willing to fuck . It's all about the interaction you have with them.

How often do you hear women say they want a "nice, sweet guy"; only to go fuck guys that use and abuse them. Cognitive dissonance.

Everyone will be dismissed out of the gate from time to time; but height isn't as big of a hurdle as people seem to think. Being shorter does lower your pool A LITTLE; but when you're approaching enough girls, it is pretty irrelevant. Hell, I have encountered girls that refuse to date guys much taller than them as they find it to be more awkward. You won't satisfy everyone.

[–]_Fony_ 6 points7 points8 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

they also probably bash bald men, men outside their race or men making less than 60k. the amount of "standards" that you can make a woman go back on for sex or dating is staggering.

[–]blazingblue16 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

Nice, strawman. Doesn't stop short guys from getting laid is not the same thing as having no disadvantage from getting laid.

Us short guys are saying we can get laid, we never said we get laid as often and as easily as tall guys.

Also do you even know the basic tenant of look at women's behaviour and not what they say?

[–]1 Endorsed Contributormordanus 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I didn't claim it wasn't a disadvantage. Just that I didn't notice it. I always had tons of women approach me and want to spend time with me. I have almost no game but I guess I had good frame. I don't really know why it was but women flocked to me before I was married. If I was taller I am sure it would have been a lot more women but I am satisfied with what I had/have.

[–]Coffeebe 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

5' 6" myself.

The truth is that doors are open for taller men.

I just had to learn to pick locks. Game is a basic requirement for the shorter man to have any success with women. But I've known men over 6 foot who, can barely talk, can't hold a full time job, who have women throw themselves at them.

I learned to use my mind to get into the mind of the woman. We all have to play the hand we are dealt.

[–]Ahrius 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's been said, but confidence is still the ultimate weapon against women.

Short? Doesn't matter - if you act like it means nothing, then it doesn't. The only reason height is an issue is because woman would feel insecure around a shorter guy (can't protect, etc). If you walk like you're dick is 3 inches from the ground, you immediately dispel that fear because you portray yourself as the alpha.

Everyone knows that the biggest does not always mean the most dominant, and it is dominance that the woman craves.

[–]∞ Mod | TRP Vanguardbsutansalt 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I'm about that height and I've never had issues for a couple of reasons. The main thing is to evoke the feelings women get naturally from taller guys:

  • On an instinctual level that you can provide for and protect them.

If you're short you must generate these feelings. A "shortcut" is lifting weights. When you can lift a woman up and spin her around over your head, you're doing it right. Another way of doing this is drawing her into your reality rather than vice versa where you're the top dog in the social pecking order of whatever social circle you're exposing her to.

He had some kind of funeral themed bachelor party to put his "style" persona to death.

Anyways, if she was the cause of him doing that, we'll see a divorce or something in the next couple of years.

Haha, yes, I can't count how many emails I'we had from his company urging me to buy his product because "this one was absolutely the greatest thing he ever did and after this he was going to retire from the community"

The guy is a business man and a very good one.

[–]1Zackcid 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

What bothers me is that Neil still has mannerisms of a typical beta male. Hear how fast he speaks, how pathetically weak and annoying his laughter is. (feminine-like too). How eager he is to grasp the attention of people.

I do recognize how great he is in terms of pickup though.

[–]ayjayred 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

you can't erase 30 years of beta mannerisms in a few years, especially if you're on a TV show.

EDIT: Star Jones was somewhat do-able back in 2005.

[–]ayjayred 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

are you sure he's the slave (ie., gave his life away) in the relationship? Or is it she that's enslaved?

[–]1Zackcid 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Might be both. But either way, that doesn't matter because we're only interested in OP. Women have this drive to try and tied down a single man because female sexuality requires it (esp. with the inevitable aging process).

Robert Downey jr. is 5'8.

Nate Robinson is 5'7 and in the NBA bro that means if you're 5'7 you can make it in the NBA bro

[–]blazingblue16 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

"I'm short (5'6), but it has not stopped me from getting laid, looks or "action," with and without alcohol. I'm talking about first night bj, and 2nd date lay sort of stuff. However I have never been with an 8+. Also they also tend to only want sex. I'm 20 still in University and broke. The way I see it, short guys just have to game harder, lift more, be more socially and financially successful. It's not hopeless."

I posted that in an older thread. All that happened before the redpill. Now I'm focusing on improving myself.

Although this happened after the pill: On NYE, all I did was dance without a care in the world by myself, like the zyzz guy. Some girl went up to me started grinding on me. I held her and started grinding, she goes into midair doggy style, then she kissed me w/o me initiating at all. The song ended so I pushed her by the neck to make out with her.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

What do you consider an 8+? I once heard a guy complain about how he can only get 5's and said a 5 was a girl with a decent face, who is thin but has no butt or nice boobs. As someone who does not care for butt or boobs, and likes thin girls with nice faces, he was describing my 10's.

[–]PenguinLovr 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

my boyfriend claims to be 5'5 but I think he is closer to 5'4. I am 5'. I consider myself a 6.5, while he tells me I am a 10. I also think he is a 10. Here are the reason I think he is a 10:

makes eye contact confidently, has nice eyes and manly face

obvious signs of working out, has nice arms and back, broad shoulders.

keeps his hair cut and clean, always smells good.

has the funnest smile and makes silly faces with me. he is totally comfortable with himself. he laughs at and with me and teases me.

I look up to him but he is perfect height for kissing/hugging

he is intelligent

the trend here is that he success with me on my scale because he shows obvious signs of being better than me....see a girl might be a 10 on your scale but dont let that intimidate you. you can increase your score on her scale by using some red pill techniques. As long as you pass her standards and shit tests you will be able to attract her. There is no hard coded numbers. If it doesn't work for one girl doesn't mean there aren't dozens of other girls who it will work for. Just look for short girls and act as if your height doesn't even matter.

[–]blazingblue16 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm incredibly picky. An 8 to me would be a trifecta or very high duo. Importance in order face, tits , ass. A 9 would be face, tits, ass, height. A 10 would be all that and strength of character. 7 and below is a lot more subjective for me since I'm averaging all 5 categories. My rule of thumb is if i can stand her face that's at least a 6. Face rank is based on symmetry. Weight plays a factor too, as long as I can easily wrap my arms around her body if I can't I don't bother considering her other traits.

[–]1 Endorsed Contributormordanus 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

5'6" I don't have any problems with my height with women for some reason. I never have. The only time it comes up is when another guy tries to shame me and I put him in his place really quick. Honestly trp has just shown me that women think about height a lot more than I ever noticed.

Around here most short guys tend to do better than the tall guys.

[–]Endorsed ContributorDoxasticPoo 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm still working on this theory (partly because I'm leaning MGTOW and don't really care).

But short guys actually have an advantage.

Think about how easy it is to have confidence when everything is given to you. Think about how easy it is to be the "alpha" when you're born with the right physical traits.

Now, think about overcoming all of that. And being an emotional superhero DESPITE the fact that you're short. (an "emotional superhero" is someone who is never emotionally damaged and is always there to emotionally save people)

Woman will look at you and be like, "This guys is supposed to be unconfident, but he's not! He must be more of a "man" than other guys."

Think of it this way. Who gets more respect? Warren Buffet or Mitt Romney?

Warren earned his place starting as a teenager trading stocks. Mitt was born into wealth and business.

Both have money and are rich, but Warren will go down in history whereas Mitt will be forgotten.

Go down in history, my fellow short men. The fact that we have to work harder isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I believe we can use it to our advantage.

I'm Asian with short parents, and ended up about 5'6.

I've had no problems getting interests from women. I've maintained a Red Pill LTR with my girlfriend for 3 years. I kept a strong frame, walked straight with my head held high, didn't take her or anyone's crap. I made clear my expectations in a relationship and treated her fairly.

Lift, keep fit, learn a martial art. My gf likes that if it has to come down to a fight, I won't be afraid to (I don't advocate violence). She feels a bit more secure despite being with a 5'6 guy haha.

Parties and social events like birthdays, I'm still getting attention from women. Be the life of the party, lead people to a good time and women notice. I used to be the guy that was in the corner sipping beer and staying comfy in my established group of friends. That always lead to nothing but boredom and blue balls.

Of course it sucks that taller women will not be interested, you def won't be their immediate first choice when they walk into a room. It's not impossible though. However it's a lot easier to stick to women shorter then you. I'm an asian guy with a preference for non-asian girls so I've chosen hard mode from the get-go. TRP improved my relationships immensely no doubt.

In terms of employment, having a Red Pill mindset increased my confidence with women, which transferred to all my relationships and social circles. Job Interviews became easier when you assert what you expect and want. You can be outgoing or speak more calmly when it's needed. Body language goes a long way to separating you from other candidates. You naturally become the first person leaders and bosses look to as you seem reliable and a guy who can get shit done. More opportunity for climbing up and promotion.

I'm not going to go into detail about how I did what, or use all the jargon, there are better endorsed people here for that. Understand that there are many benefits to TRP in all aspects of life. I've experienced the success first hand.

I'm 5' 4" and it's not hard. What I do is simply be the Alpha male. Whether it's with my buddies, at the bar, wherever. Shoulders back, eyes high. I walk with purpose. Am I short? Yeah. I'll fuck you up though. Get the fuck out of my way.

I lift weights like shit. I dress to the nines every day. My hair is hip. I don't give a fuck.

All the principles of "game" and this other shit work no matter who you are. If they didn't, then we'd have to quit.

5'6, previous gf was about 5'7 but often wore heels, current gf is 5'8 and 6 years older than me. I'm still in charge of the relationship and can't say its been an issue in mine or her eyes.

I'm 5'4. The majority of girls I hook up with are taller than me. I finally realized the reasons why a girl would fuck me ever since I took the red pill, and now I'm exploiting it for my benefit.

I used to act the way I looked. I'm not good looking, short, losing my hair, and I"m only 20. Girls would look at me and think I had no confidence, was the "nice guy", and had no sexual value. They were right.

Fast forward to nowadays. Women still think the same thing when they first see me because my looks haven't changed all that much. But now as soon as I open my mouth, they get hit with a blast of confidence and not-give-a-fuckery that knocks them straight off their pedestal and down below my level.

They think to themselves, "how can this short ugly dude be so confident" and then they start to think that there must be something more to me. Maybe status, maybe money, maybe power, but whatever it is, they aren't used to seeing a short dude like me act like he's David Beckham when he walks into the room. That's why girls want to fuck me. It's all about personality.

Just be prepared to go through a ton of shit tests about your height. If they catch you off guard about it they'll eat you alive. Short guys like me often have a lot of insecurity that they have to iron out of their system and if they smell it on you it's like sharks smelling blood in the water.

I've got a question for you guys. I'm 5'8. What are some good ways to overcome shit tests about height? I sometimes get the "you're too short" (even though I'll be the same height as her).

I usually say something like "Hitler was short, he conquered many countries. You can be my Poland." or "It's cool babe, I can wear heels".

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I usually avoid drawing parallels to Hitler whenever I get the chance.

But I usually turn it into something sexual. I'll say something like "you ever been fucked by a short guy? It's like a jackhammer" then I do some weird fast thrusting thing. Gets some laughs and disarms the situation. If you're the kind of guy that isn't afraid to get raunchy it's pretty fun, but if you're not behind it 100% she'll think you're a creep.

But you don't always have to be that straight forward or crass. Just turn it into something positive. If she says "you're short" you could say something like "yeah, you're right I am good looking." Politicians have a way of answering questions that they wanted to be asked rather than asking the question they were actually asked. Do the same with shit tests. Respond as if she just gave you a compliment or something.

"Your mom's short" etc.. Hitler etc is way too try hard. Also, not sure what you mean by "usually", but usually this never happens. They may talk shit about you later but only if something else was off about you, i.e. trying too hard.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I never got why this is such a problem for guys, just aim for short girls which is most of them. I'm 5'9 myself and I disqualify girls taller than me automatically. I have a cousin who's a natural alpha at the height of 5'4 he doesn't give 2 shits about his height and pulls like made. It's only a crutch if you're a pussy about it and don't have you're other shit on check

Majority of people hate on my height because of how much more talented I am than they are at just about EVERY fuckin thing. If I'm gaming bitches, or making these dude's feel like they are getting shown up by a little dude, they act out and start yelling "midget" and poke their chest out for the 5 second laugh people give em. Shit way to live if your go to plan for credibility is hating on someone else.

I know this guy who must be at least 5'3 or 5'4. But he's very athletic, doesn't give a shit, and is well-liked without trying. He always has a girlfriend but I think he's not into settling down right now. I knew another guy in college who was shorter than that, maybe 5'2, but he DID have the face of a model but his gf was gorgeous, albeit very short (maybe 4'11). The key is to go for shorter women.

In my experience, those are the ones that are least likely to date a short dude. This isn't generally a problem though, most girls, well, a lot of girls are 5'5 or shorter.

Sure i am short like 1.67m (5.6?) and i have kindof always been a bit RP in nature (napoleon complex?) and i have been banging since i was 14. It seems being in dark triad mode workes wonders and since i used to be hooked on narcotics the selfishness came easy ;) Im better know and im in a relationship with a beautiful girl 7 years younger then me (im 30) and trying to maintain frame, being alpha and dominant. Its always easyer in the beginning when the girl doesnt really know you that well but hopefully the pair-bond shit will make it easyer since its hard to be a total badass 24/7.
