How do I (mentally) get past my height?

One of the most successful guys I know with women is around 5’6”. He’s absolutely fearless when it comes to cold approaching. He learned through trial and error.

He’s my inspiration and I’m 6’.

Get a gym membership and start working out. I’m 5’6” as well and used to be scrawny but i started working and noticed the ladies payed a little more attention to me and my confidence grew. Try it for a couple months until you start seeing result in your body changing. If you don’t get confidence from that then atleast you have a healthy hobby

Lol, I’m 5’ 6” and I never even thought it was an issue. Only once a tallish girl told me I was “too short” for her, but that was more her projecting her own “tall girl insecurities” than me being “short”.

The thing is, if you focus on what you believe is a disadvantage, it will become a disadvantage for sure. I’m 21, I’ve been bald for a few years and I don’t give 2 shits about it right now cause I embraced myself. Every trait of you can be used as an advantage in the right situation. It’s all about the mindset. You say you’re lazy and introverted? Go out there and start doing shit. You’re fearful of social situations? Put yourself in those and start overcoming them step by step. I used to be shy many years ago and now it’s the last thing I would worry about.

The most important thing is to get out of the victim role and put your shit together by working on yourself.

5'6" is short but its not super duper short. Just make sure to not bulk up with either fat or muscle (makes you look even shorter). And dress better than your male competition, especially your shoes.

TL,DR; Date shorter girls.

I’m 5’6-5’7 in US as well and I think a lot of it is finding the right girl. People in general are shallow. So in the same way a lot of guys don’t want to fuck an overweight chick, a lot of girls don’t want to fuck a short dude. Just the way of the world. But that’s not to say all girls are like that. The best advice I could give is to approach any woman with confidence, and if she is not into it then she’s not into it and accept defeat with grace. But doing that you will definitely he able to find women who are willing to overlook height, I sure have. Just takes a little more trying in my opinion

I'm average height but my ex and a lot of girls I know would still date dudes as long as they're taller than them.

I feel like I've said this before but it's not a problem unless you make it one. I'm pretty much your height and I didn't feel like my height was holding me back until the internet told me it was. I let it get to me and because I was depressed I believed it. Took a long time but I got out of my depression and just stopped caring about the things I couldn't change. I'm a short ugly chubby introvert but I'm a person that people love anyway. I've accepted that I likely won't ever understand why but that's ok. I do what I want, when I want, with who I want and apparently it makes me and others feel better.

I'd say start talking to people about things you genuinely want to talk about. You'll see all kinds of people people itching to hear what you say next and wanting you around. You'll find friends who like what you like by accident. Find some hobbies you want to do because you love them. Even if they aren't social hobbies people will love to hear you talk about your passions. Working out is great too. It's hard at first but like working a job you get to the point where you want to do it more and it makes you feel satisfied. I love the mental gains as much as the physical ones. You'll figure it out. Just do what you love and the world will love you back. Don't try to understand. Just do you.
