Any other vertically challenged seducers out there?

Honestly man, if you are thinking it is a problem, it is a problem. When you don't think about it, it isn't an issue.

I'm 5'3 (it fucking hurts man) but I never let that stop me. I actually tend to approach girls that are taller than me and it throws them off. It usually at least gets me in there and they see it as me not caring about my height.

If it really bothers you, I say try and build some good upper body strength. When you start to get muscular you don't seem as short and puny.

I'm 5'7 and have never had any issue with height. Girl's taller than me? That's fine, c'mere and rest your titties on my shoulders and I'll tell you a story.

You're always going to find reasons why you suck at getting girls if you look for them. Stop it. Everyone has their shit.

I wrote this for a previous post some of this is out of context because he was interested in putting on muscle and feeling small in clubs but its still the best thing I have written about it.

The height thing comes up a lot but as a fellow fun sized individual I feel it is my duty to help out my fellow brethren . I am 5'2" on a good day and weigh 130 lbs. Muscle helps me take up more space and have a greater presence makes it easier to get through crowds etc. That being said it is not a requirement just like being short isn't a deal breaker. Don't try to compensate using muscle (I am sure you have seen those guys its brutally obvious), get in shape because it feels great do it for yourself. I would say a good weight goal for someone who is 5'4" is around 150lbs-155 give or take depending on your build

It is 100% how you carry yourself you are probably subconsciously deferring a little in clubs. Short people like really tall people tend to have terrible posture stand up straight no matter what that will improve your aura 1000%. Also if its loud don't lean in or crane your neck to talk to girls they will actually bend over to talk to you. That being said you don't have to be a dick about it turning yourself into little angry napoleon man is exactly the opposite of what you want to accomplish and makes you look more insecure than a vulnerable counter part. Just because your talking up to a girl/guy sometimes doesn't mean your being a chump. "After a while I will use a line like you/my neck looks/is sore lets go sit over here/dance"(gets a laugh and its a great transitioner) Basically it is all about being comfortable with yourself cliché I know but its true. I never get shit from girls its guys who occasionally give me shit about my height because they can't handle the fact their girl is into me and I am a foot shorter. If you want a snappy comeback to help one I used first starting out was "oh that's okay you don't have to feel insecure because I am shorter then you" works on both genders.

The second you can accept that your height has absolutely nothing to do with your value in any situation with the exception of a pick up basketball game its amazing how the way you view the world changes. Yes some girls will reject you because your too short. Unless you are 6'2" with the brad pitt's looks, robert redford's charm, gate's wealth, and clinton's charisma chances are everyone has been rejected for something they can't change. A quote I heard from an olympics commercial this summer really inspired me in more ways then one wish I could find the exact one but the gist is "A disability is truly conquered when it stops being an obstacle to be overcome and is instead an asset to be celebrated". Just wait until you stroll into the bar with a gorgeous girl who is half a foot taller and everyone in the joint is thinking "who the fuck is this pint size mother fucker he must be the son of the king of a;ldskfas;ldfbeckistan!" Until then may the cookies always be on the bottom shelf and the shoe sizes forever be in your favor.

P.S. Holy fuck I did not intend for this to be this long hope it helps and I am officially just going to copy and paste this to anyone else who asks this question.

I'm 29, 5'6" and a half, but I round up ; ) Height being a hurdle is just a limiting belief; a friend of mine is 53 and about 5'2", kinda tough to seek out in a crowd, but he gets more ass than a toilet seat. One day we were talking about taller girls and he said the tallest girl he's ever slept with was 5'10", in fact, that was the name he had her under in his phone. If a girl tells me I'm weird, short, dorky, whatever, I reply with a cool "thank you" because she's pointing out something unique about myself that I enjoy. It's not about coming to terms with your height, it's about celebrating it and making it work for you.

I just want to get this out there - being tall does not help as much as people who aren't tall think it does. It's not some "easy mode" that everything thinks it is. In fact in a lot of cases it's quite the opposite, like the dance floor for example. No matter WHAT you do, you will never look cool, I don't care who you are, and girls really just do not want to dance with tall guys, it's the short and average sized guys that win in that area.

I'm 6'5", 215 lb of mostly lean muscle, and I'm definitely not ugly by any means (have done some brief male modeling that I was recruited for so I must look at least somewhat decent).

It does not matter. I strike out just as much as any other person when it comes to pick up. Have you ever noticed that aside from Mystery most PUAs are under 6' tall? Remember it's been said before in this community and it rings true - actions speak louder than words. Girls say they like tall guys but let's be real here, it's the average to short sized guys that are having the most success out there. So stop complaining about being "vertically challenged", it's a pointless obstacle you placed on yourself and you have the capability of being just as successful if not more successful with women than tall dudes.

Neil Strauss is short and bald and probably gets more tail than all of Seddit combined.

MATHDRAGON · 2012-10-21T00:17:31+00:00

5'3" checking in. havent grown since I was 14. Trust me, its much harder approaching women when they're taller than you, but that's not stopping me. In fact approaching girls taller than me is like waving a flag of self confidence. Just know that you have it good at 5'7", you're probably able to do things like reaching top shelves without climbing on stuff.

TL;DR: you're not short so get over it.

angethedude · 2012-10-20T18:58:21+00:00

I'm 5'7" and I've never had issues in regards to my height. I've dated girls shorter and taller than me. Some girls really do care about height but I have yet to meet one. Trust me: if you don't care, then they won't care. If you're insecure about something they can smell it from a mile away. I dated a chick who was 6'2" and the last girl I was with was around 5'10". Both of those girls mentioned they were insecure because they thought they were TOO TALL. They never complained at all about my height.

It doesn't matter!

Also, when you're horizontal, it matters EVEN LESS.

Humphrey Bogart was only like 5'7", and that maw fuggah had game.

zunscrii · 2012-10-20T17:04:57+00:00

Go for women that are the same height or shorter than you. IF you are a genuinely awesome confident person no girl will care about your height. Not even tall girls. Okay maybe 1 in 50, but you won't care unless you have oneitis.

I think the reason why small guys( in general) have more trouble getting girls has more ( read= everything) to do with the fact that a lot of them have already got more shit from other guys because they cant physically intimidate them, that matters when you're very young, small people get picked on more in a time when they're creating a self image. So they don't get the confidence.

that was just my 2 cents of broscience.

chi_gha · 2012-10-20T21:39:14+00:00

Talk to cute short girls. Call them short to tease them. When they say but you're short, say yeah but you're still short to me.

If you want I have a lot of lines in my head about mutual shortness let me know I will post them (I am kinda short).

I'm 5'5 and on a previous account about 6 months ago posted my story. Pretty much that it didn't matter at all and it ended up amazing. Well through meeting girls and /r/seduction I've met this amazingly beautiful scandinavian girl, and we've hit it off really well so we've been exclusive for months.. Regardless, when I was in the scene, the height wasn't a problem.

If you feel really short and feel like you must bring it up in a conversation.. talk about how your height gives you the leverage for amazing sex positions. (Because it really does. Shorter men can enter in much more varying angles much easier from normal positions.)

Its not a challenge, think about movie stars who are 'challenged'.

Dorman010 · 2012-10-20T20:51:55+00:00

Dude, your height is not a problem. Use it as something to laugh about. It's only a problem if you make it a problem. Man the fuck up.
