I've said this before and I'll say it again.

I'm 5'5".

Yet I'm more successful with woman than any of my friends, including those that are 6'+.

I've only had a total of two girls that tell me my height was a deal breaker, a lot of times it's just to put you through a validation process and treat it as a shit-test.

I've fucked numerous girls who were taller than me.

Realize it's the genetic hand you were dealt with and instead focus on being the greatest motherfucker you can be.

The only female friends of mine that have commented on my height have been either fat, ugly and generally insecure.

But Omega, how do you deal with it?

I'm fit without being stocky, it's easier for shorter males because we need less muscle on our frame.
I am confident and smile, inner game and yourself is the only thing you can truly rely on.
I work on my posture.
In terms of fashion, I'm dapper as fuck. I make sure my clothing fits and I avoid horizontal stripes which break up my silhouette. Fuck baggy clothes, you aren't a gangster.

I read everywhere that "what women find desirable" is height. Then I remember how most women don't know what they want and also whine about how they always want the "nice guy"- call it misogyny, it's a stereotype that holds some validity.

The average height for a woman is 5'5".

I find the majority of society's obsession with height kind of disturbing, but then I realize that I'm an individual and don't want to be associated with the "majority of society".

Yet when I read stuff online I read comments from men and women that fill me with negativity and in the end becomes a self fulfilling prophecy

You've got paraplegics who are having better dating lives than ones who are tall, attractive and wealthy in this world. Height should not be such a huge limiting belief. Men who are talking shit are doing so because they want less competition- they're insecure about their own abilities. Women who state that "I don't date anyone under 6'+" are having trouble in their dating lives, insecure and are filtering out males under 6' on OKC.

TL;DR: If you're having height insecurity, read all of it.

By not giving a flying fuck.

Seriously, I have had the best luck since I stopped caring. BE WARNED: you could end up married, like I did.

Everybody has SOMETHING they feel holds them back: height, hair, complexion... There are very few girls who won't fuck a guy because of his height - and if they are that type, they have issues. If you play the game well, your height won't hold you back.

two things;

letting a girl know you don't particularly hold her Amazonian height against her is a strong demonstration of your acceptance
take 2 minutes and watch this.

Dude. I am extremely tall, and almost never get laid.

One of my best friends in college was short, fat, broke, and hairy. He got laid all the time by 6-8 out of ten girls.

He just talked to a lot of chicks, and treated them like human beings instead of going straight for getting laid. He would make friends with 5 or 6 girls, and end up having sex with 3 or 4 of them over the course of a few months.

Just keep that in mind.

I'm a tall guy with a lot of short friends. I keep them around to make me look good. I joke, I joke.

Seriously, I observe their game and here's what I've noticed:

1- They don't let their height become an issue. They're always quick to turn it into a non-issue or turn it into an interesting conversation point.

2- They have interesting things going on in their lives that allow them to engage lots of women. They also find a way to distinguish themselves from the typical guido.

3- They tend to go for short women too. The shy cute petite girl who's afraid to talk at a party? They go an talk to her and get her to feel great about herself.

I'm 5'6" and it does bug me a bit. "Tall, dark, handsome" is the stereotype. If you ask women what physical things they want in a boyfriend 9 times out of 10 they say "tall" as their first choice.

But I have two great counter examples in my life. Both guys are the same height as me and both of them are excellent with women.

Anyone who says looks don't play an important role in PU is lying and height is a major factor in how a woman rates the attractiveness of a man. There are some women who will automatically disqualify you because you are too short for them. But there are literally Billions of women - Tens of thousands of which you could meet within your own city. I guarantee there are thousands of women who will find you attractive.

So work on the things you can change - like your approach, your conversation skills and your confidence.

What you lack in height, you just have to make up for in being interesting and sociable.

jakedebest · 2011-06-20T14:17:04+00:00

sorry, short people are biologically seen as inferior, unless you can make up for that in confidence, strength and power you won't get anywhere. so go do that.

Confidence Confidence Confidence!!

As a 5'1" guy, I tend to not succeed. Once in a great while. Your mileage may vary. I can still be very insecure about it. I believe one major issue is the genetic imperative for women to want taller, more imposing men. Subconsciously that reads as good mating material and safety.

But then, take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm not a player, nor do I date that often. 5'5" or 5'3" might seem pretty short. Imagine how I feel. I'm typically the guy who makes other short guys feel better about themselves because 'hey, at least I'm no longer the shortest guy here!' You're welcome. =P

I succeed by being six foot five.
