Does height matter in dating?

I know manlets that get so many beautiful girls that are taller than them. It’s not that big a deal. Also usually girls aren’t the best source for finding out what attracts them... ironically lol

I'm short (5-8) and do relatively well, but I'd be fucking lying if I said height didn't matter. Notice how everyone who says height doesn't matter will say "I know a short guy who gets tons of girls." A short guy. The outlier doesn't prove your point. They never say "Among the 20 single guys in my social circle, the short guys do just as well as the tall guys." Because it's fucking bullshit. The vast majority of women prefer a taller/bigger guy for countless psychological/evolutionary/etc reasons. All other things being equal, they'll almost always take a tall guy with a mediocre face over a short guy with a handsome face.

All that said, we play the hand we're dealt with. SOooooo many other factors play such a big part that a guy who is short can still overcome and succeed -- confidence, personality, looks, intelligence, passion about life, or passion about something that the girl is also passionate about. But he's gotta learn which playing fields work best for him, and focus on those.

From personal experience, the short guy is very easily overlooked (literally) in a crowded night club. But that doesn't mean you stop gaming there. Dating apps are great if the short guy has at least an average face and nice profile pictures that don't easily convey his height. It takes the height out of the equation in order to get that first date. I've had several first dates from a dating app in which the girl show disappointment across her face when she saw my height. Most of those dates still resulted in full closes or at least some kind of action.

It doesn't, if they are in to you, they are in to you. I prefer to be taller than my date though, just a personal thing for me.

Dated a girl that was taller than me and who had her hieght in her torso vs her legs, and both sitting on the couch and standing while kissing was....interesting, lol. Not quite my thing, though its not an issue for most people I imagine.

It matters to some people, doesn't matter to others, like all things in dating.

It doesn't i have dated well above my height. Don't make it an issue and she won't see it as one. It's all about how you carry yourself bud.

Yes, looks absolutely matter, and height is a part of looks. It's just human psychology , we can't help it. Anyone who tells you different is being fed some PUA marketing nonsense and doesn't have enough experience in the real world. This is coming from someone who is 5'11 btw.. I'm not some butthurt short guy making excuses for myself, lol.

I am 6'4 and rarely if ever pull girls due to my height, or at all for that matter. If you don't approach or make effort, you get no girls. I do not make very much effort therefore I get no girls. Unless you are very short then stop using it as an excuse.

All of their preferences/standards go out the window when they meet a true lover.

RocchiRoad · 2018-08-28T15:26:40+00:00

Only to the shallow.

Turlast · 2018-08-28T19:13:23+00:00

Yes.

I'm well aware I'm at a disadvantage compared to my taller counterparts (I'm 5'9). That's fine. I was obsessed with the height stuff a good while back, but I don't care anymore. Girls always seemed to be into me regardless, so.

"When will they learn?"

dt1234 · 2018-08-28T17:01:20+00:00

Yes it does. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit

The general rule of physical appearance preferences that women have is: it matters more than the woman wants to admit. If she says "height matters a little" it means height is one of the first things she looks for, if she says "height matters but it's not everything" it means she has a hard rule that any potential partners be in the top 10% of men in terms of height. Height will matter to 99% of girls, but how much it will matter is up to the girl.

I used to use this as an excuse and still do sometimes. And then I see a short guy with a smokin chick out in public and I’m like wtf. This happens more often than I am comfortable with haha

Whilst i'm a huge believer in 'looks' being by far the most important thing when it comes to cold approach success, I've always found that height isn't as important as things like having a handsome face.

I've recently had my confidence knocked a bit by girls rejecting me for being short so i'm not QUITE as confident in my belief as I was before, but I still see enough evidence to suggest that height isn't as important as having a handsome face.

Good looking manlets seem to do well, basically

My biggest slayer friend is about 5'7'' and he bangs the hottest of girls at will. They even approach him non stop
