Height indeed can be an obstacle if you are very short like Jaqcuees.
However, Jaqcuees is a 27 year old with a reported net worth of $8M. He also has one of the most valuable things in the world especially when it comes to women. STATUS!
I don’t think Jacquees is lying. At all. If anything, he’s probably under reporting.
Looks, game, money & status. If you are deficient in one area, work on it as much as you can and maximise the others.

Well that's the whole point of the post isn't it? Doubt OP thinks he ain't getting laid, but the girl surely does, just cuz he's short.

6’ is some magical number for American women. They’ll get ran thru by a bunch before she realizes she’s not 6’+ stud wife material. Then the standards, height included, start dropping.
But short guys know this. And they’re resentful. Coupled with likely aggressive and subtle bullying throughout life, I can figure where the ‘short man syndrome’ can come from…

That’s true. This girls also half black and is more immersed with her black side. As a black person i who’s dated black, mixed, white, Latin, I can tell you black and mixed girls care about height the most. It’s a culture where the girls really want nba and nfl player type guys
[–]WiiWynn 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think it’s more about them wanting to feel small. Women like taking pictures from above. And men look more attractive to them with pictures taken from a slight lower tilt. It’s not conscious I don’t think, some primal thing. But that’s all just my bro-science.
[–]Snakehead004 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This isn't true in my experience. It's about how the girl views herself. Many women who think they're an amazing catch just won't look at guys under 6'. Black and mixed women seem to less into height but I think it's just personal experience at that point. I'm sure in Miami, Vegas or LA a grater % of women would be the type you describe.
Source: short white guy who's dated many attractive women of all different ethnicities. If I was 6' I'd be pulling 9-10 exclusively. Now it's more like 8-9s mostly.

Ehhh I don’t think it matters much my boy is 5’7 and pulls like no other. My favorite wingman to go out with and I’m 6’4. We have no problem getting women together in fact he’ll usually pull more than me because he’s got such dope confident energy.
Edit: your height will get them to pay attention but your energy and how you present yourself gets them into bed or on an actual date.
[–]SDdude81 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good looks and/or strong charisma/status can make up for the height handicap.
If a short man is missing those he will struggle.
On the other hand, an average height man doesn't need to have the extra pieces.
[–]BoneThugsNThrowaways 27 points28 points29 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
All women are different in their approach to this. I am 5’6”, maybe with an extra inch when I have my boots on. Two of the three women I’m currently sleeping with are multiple inches taller than me. The biggest height discrepancy between myself and a lover has been a woman up to 6’5”. In my mind it is entirely based on the person and how you frame yourself. There is nothing you can do about your height, so accept and love yourself as is. If a potential partner dismisses you because of that then fuck em, they aren’t worth your time. That is a type of judgment that reflects a broader insecurity about who that person is. It is their loss that they don’t love themselves enough to be confident with someone different than them. Of course, bodies move differently at different sizes and how someone expresses affection may be altered. But all in all I think if you’re confident in yourself, self assured in who you are and what you want while respecting your partner and their boundaries, then it won’t matter.

multiple inches taller than me.
Why do you feel the need to post this?
Do taller women have more value? Are they "better?"
It's really odd that I keep seeing short men talk about their taller girlfriends as if they are a trophy.
I'm amazed how many downvotes this got. I guess ya'll think that tall women are better than short women.
Guess I'm weird for liking women a few inches shorter than me.
[–]elliottrackhe 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
When you’re a short man able to pull in a tall girl, it kinda is a trophy showing that you got game.
[–]SDdude81 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'm 5'5 and pulling a 5'2 girl with big boobs is enough of a trophy for me.
[–]BoneThugsNThrowaways 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Because it was a thread asking about women not being interested in short men? My comment is clearly meant to encourage folks to love and be confident in themselves while never settling for those who can’t see their true worth.
There’s nothing wrong with short women at all and one isn’t better than the other, it’s arbitrary. Not sure why you think this is directed at you but it might be worth asking yourself why you feel attacked and then project outwards when folks live their lives differently. You do you and be with who you want to be with, as long as it makes you happy.

Im 6’2 cant relate to the short kings. But honestly we would be lying if we said its not going to be harder for them. It is what it is reality is really fucking harsh sometimes. Just change what u can and improve where u can tbh.

Lol that’s how I first realized I was short asf. I saw a short man from a distance and thought wow he’s short asf then as we get closer I realize we the same height and I’m like am I really that short. All my life I always thought I was average height 😭😭😭

A tall man is as much of a status symbol for women as a big house or a huge diamond ring, even more so. Women don't want other women to see them with a short man.
[–]modidlee 23 points24 points25 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
This. Women refuse to acknowledge how much they care about what other people think of the guy they’re with. Guys never just have to impress or make the woman they’re involved with happy. They have to also impress everyone that woman knows.

[–]TerminatorReborn 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yep. My best female friend always said my height is good, that I'm tall enough.
One day I'm at her house and she is talking about this hot, rich influencer she was dating. I was actually surprised to know she was dating him since I already knew who he was.
She said she kinda liked him but it didn't work out because he was "short as fuck", I was surprised since I actually thought he was tall so I asked how tall was he... She said with a super disgusted face: "174cm" (that's like 5'8).
I was like: DUDE WTF, THATS THE EXACT SAME HEIGHT AS ME.
I legit felt bad and couldn't believe it, she tried to make excuses for my case but in the end she just gave up and said that for her that's super short.
It feels like height is even more status than money and followers to some girls

Some women
[–]garlopf 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I think the majority of girls prefer guys that are taller than themselves by a certain amount. This is the barrier. Some girls don't care, and a small minority would prefer guys shorter than themselves. Too tall is also a problem. I am sure there is research data on this. So then, as a short guy, I would just look for girls shorter than me.
[–]mishaxz 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's more like at least taller by a certain amount.
A lot of small girls like 5'2/3" really like to date guys well above 6ft because they say it makes them feel safe/protected
[–]mishaxz 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly.. I'm of the opinion no matter how short a guy is, there are many women shorter than he is
[–]DrDo-2-Much 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's why us average height men(5'10-5'11) are the real winners here. We're not quite that tall but most women seem to be willing to go slightly below the 6' mark if you got other qualities that make up for it.
This is very true for women who view themselves to be in the top 5-10% and who are under 30. They'll put up with tons of bad and selfish behavior until they realize these tall guys will never respect them. People who have always been considered attractive aren't often forced to develop their personalities or emotional intelligence.. And it shows.
[–]LadyLottie05 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
This has been an interesting topic that I’ve brought up with my girlfriends recently. We are all single, 28/29F, and around 5’2-8”. A few of the tall girls are adamant about dating taller men, while there are two that do not care at all about height. The tallest of the group dated a man shorter than her for years, and said that because he was so great in bed, it didn’t matter. He was confident. One of our friends is 5 foot 5 and is incredible shallow about height. She pays for Hinge in order to filter men above 6 foot 3. She says that she likes to feel small and dainty, and dominated in bed. Fair enough.
Some of my friends are convinced that only taller men are “packing”, while I completely disagree. Sometimes it’s the taller men who lay there like a starfish in bed, and have never had to develop a full personality because their height was such a flex. eye roll I am 5 foot 3 and used to hook up with a man 2 inches shorter than me. I will be 90 years old and will still say that he had the biggest ding-a-ling of all time.
Height. Shouldn’t. Matter. If it does, move on. If you’re insecure, work on that, and come back to dating when you’re feeling more confident. There are always women looking! Hope this helps.

I agree with almost everything you wrote.

Short men are insecure because of how women have treated them.
[–]brainenfuego 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Since you’re so upfront and honest about height, and quite a bit of your post was about dick size…what’s your take on dick size? Is it an issue if a guy is smaller than “average” if he knows how to get it done in bed? Is a 4” dick a turn off? Is an 8” dick too much? I’m reasonably tall, 6”2’, and I’m a bit larger than “average”, 5.75” long, 5.5” girth. Because I’m tall, my dick doesn’t LOOK impressive, but I’ve never had a complaint from the 35+ women I’ve slept with. What’s your take?
[–]canuckle1211 13 points14 points15 points 4 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
I’m 5’7 and I don’t feel insecure or resentful. Mostly I’m decent looking in the face and I work out. 💪🏻 And that also means I pull a lot of girls. But to be totally honest and say do I wish I’m taller? Absolutely. Who wouldn’t? It’s like big boobs in a girl. It’s a cheat code in life. But hey I just want to say not all short guys are insecure and some do live peaceful life and have good morals and self esteem.
[–]DaMarcio 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
Same! I'm 5'8 If anything it boosts myself everytime a woman goes "I've always fucked 6'4+" and I just railed her last night 🤣. I've come to terms with my height and view it as a challenge rather than a limitation. It just means I'm that good in my strengths that some women ignore my not-that-good strengths.

[–]SDdude81 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
5'8 barely qualifies as short. At that point you are taller than 95% of women.
Try being 5'4.
[–]DaMarcio 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well I do have a thing for women taller than me so that's debatable. But even then, sure I have it better than 5'4 guys, but the mentality should be the same for them. Yall can't change your height, focus on your strengths, keep yourself clean and in shape, grow and develop your personality.
In fact lifting competitively taught me exactly that. I've seen guys with crazy genetics (or steroids? Idc) who barely train yet they outlift me, that does not change the fact I've progressed a ton from where I started. Focus on being a better you.
[–]NewCommonSensei 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s only an insecurity if you let it be. Accepting who you are including your height is a key factor in confidence, and that’s what really attracts women.
[–]Lefanteriorascencion 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Women don’t know what they want, though it may be an uphill battle …short guys can still get women by compensating in other ways (muscles, charisma, humor , ect)We are all the same height laying down.

I'm 5'7 and stopped caring a long time ago. Maybe it's because I live in L.A and there is such a huge pool with women who don't give a fuck that I'm on the short side and even then I date women who are 5 foot nothing and I'm actually quite tall to them or the perfect height. I've even dated girls a few inches taller than me...
[–]DrTommySalami 8 points9 points10 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
Its all confidence man. At 5’8 and 25 years of age I estimate (somewhat disgusted with myself) that Im in the mid to high 60s in terms of women Ive slept with.( some 7s, mostly 8s and some 9s with 2 or 3 10s when I’ve been on my absolute game) If you workout, are confident, funny and at least somewhat easy on the eyes you’re fine. Most guys lose with women before they even start. Its all in your head. If you’re at least taller then them you have a good shot. Them being taller then you is like playing in the championship game. If you come out hot you can win there too.
Ironically an ex of mine who wanted to remain ‘friends’ set me up with a friend of hers. She did this because she thought we would ‘hit it off’. We FaceTimed, had a good chat and made dinner plans for sushi. I suspect this was a petty move by my ex to get back at me for ending things and refusing to put up with her psychosis. Reason being I showed up and the girl was 6 feet tall, Swedish, blonde hair and blue eyes. Legitimate perfect ten model material. I assumed my ex wanted me to fail. I think to myself fuck, might as well dance while Im here. We hit it off and grab drinks at a bar after dinner. Apparently she was explicitly told by my ex not too sleep with me in addition to being out of my league. Long story boring I woke up at four am next to her, left note about the great time I had and hightailed it to my 6am flight to Texas for vakay. Moral of the story, hooking up with girls is not a math test. Its a test of the mind. Down 5 runs with 2 outs you always have a shot to get the win.

I’m 5 ft 5 and I’ve been getting laid pretty regularly since I was 14. I dunno the whole “short guys struggle with women” is a myth in my eyes.
Yeah some girls suck and will write me off before they even had a conversation with me and I typically don’t hook up with girls that tower over me. But I just keep it moving.
I’ve seen ugly ass dudes with bad ass woman. So I would say seduction is more about confidence than it is about any physical trait.
Edit: I’ve actually had a girl tell me to my face. “Your such a fun and caring guy, it’s a shame your too short for me.”
after she said it I told her how that was rude but I didn’t take offense to it. I always like to make the comparison with calling woman fat. And she instantly apologized and I said it was cool just be careful who you say that to because some men will interpret it the wrong way.
We proceeded to have an interesting conversation about how society sets absurd standards for beauty that basically only the few who hit the genetic lottery can obtain.
And ended up hooking up with her the same night.

Sure it will entice some women. But if Jacques was 6' the amount of women would be next level. Imagine lil Wayne at 6'.. He wouldn't be with plus sized models.. He'd be with Arianna grande or Kim Kardashian...
[–]dobbs1997 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link
That’s the thing though is looks are subjective, Lil Wayne likes plus sized models hence why he’s with them, doesn’t mean he can’t go for a different type but that’s just what he’s into…and actually there’s no way of actually knowing if him being 6’ would even make that big of a difference.

“studies”, man guys seem to be so obsessed with studies and statistics and these articles that talk about these things and then that’s what they start to believe, instead of going out into the world and making their own studies and statistics, cause just cause a study says it doesn’t mean it’s true..the halo effect yes i’ve heard of, right and a woman can feel that galo effect for a man based on his looks and height sure but if that same man can’t impact her emotionally and he’s not sexually appealing in terms of his energy then the height and looks go out the window..ever hear the phrase “he was cute until he opened his mouth” ? which brings me back to my point, it’s really not about the external features of a man but more about the internal.

No one’s mocking you here, I don’t understand how I mocked you, However I find it curious how so many guys obsess over these studies and stats when they can go out and create their own, you create your reality, nothing anyone on the internet says can do that for you, you do that for yourself so that’s why I say what does a study have to do with you?
you’re gonna have to speak for yourself on that one because no, not everyone thinks that’s false and disingenuous, the thing is for you yes you think it would be better for the steak to look good but for a lot of people as long as that cow tastes good then they don’t care, because you’re eating it for the taste of it, not the look. I mean do you get a big mac because it looks good or is it the taste that really hits the spot?..So in my opinion a woman will easily overlook your height if you carry other valuable qualities.

Everyone should have a strong belief in themselves, not just short guys. But the numbers don't lie, and studies show women prefer taller men. It's a propensity, or a likelihood, so it isn't a certainty. It means things are just a little harder for short guys.
[–]dobbs1997 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
But if you’re a short guy what do all these studies and statistics about what women prefer have to do with you? basically, why do you care ?..allow me to correct that, these studies don’t make it harder for all short guys in the world, it makes it harder for the short guys who take those studies and let it effect their inner worth which in turn will effect their dating life..so like i said, mental challenge, that’s all it is.

whats delusional about not caring about what some random statistics and articles say about height..btw these statistics you speak of, the numbers can be inaccurate, can’t believe everything you see on the internet..like i said what’s it have to do with you?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I don't care in the way you think I do, I care in a different way that you don't seem to understand.

I mean it’s basically the same as some guys not wanting fat girls, is what it is
[–]seduction_reaction 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not the same though. Height is like race, highly visible and one can't change it.
Fat people can almost always get fit

At what height is considered short, average and tall?
[–]mishaxz 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
A strange thing I've noticed is that a lot of short guys like girls taller than them.. Some are basically obsessed with this actually.

Maybe nothing unless they can see him! In that case they would say ooooh there you are!

Height is important but status is the most important and they can overcome it
[–]LongLiveMacdre 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dude you just said your regular height therefore your not short, you wouldn’t understand this.
[–]ProductivityMonster 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
The ones who mind don't matter and the ones who matter won't mind.
But yes, statistically women don't like short men as much due to sexual dimorphism - height is one of those traits that differentiate men from women and turn on women. But lower odds only mean you need to ask more girls out. And as others have mentioned you can improve your odds through compensating in other categories (social skills, money, status, etc.).
As a 22 5'4 guy I don't want to sugarcoat the fact that women are harsh on men especially to guys in their early 20s. There really isn't a lot you can do about it besides self-improvement. Women from 18 - 25 hold a lot of social and sometimes financial advantages than men in their early 20s.
This isn't exclusive to short men. Women in their early 20s do actually want to pursue tall looking guys who are taking law or psychology degrees.
When women's value starts to decline around 27 including guys who only got around with their looks will struggle. That 27 - 35 period for men is when women enter the settling down phase where they can settle down with the nearest provider making over $80000, with life experience and hobbies.
