Short guys, do you even go for tall girls?

Short guys can go for taller girls. I've even seen a few succeed. Just know that in doing so, the odds are constantly stacked against you.

Here are the facts: shorter men have been polled as the second least attractive demographic (black women ranked as the least attractive), hence why you oft hear "cute for a short guy" (or "cute for a black chick, respectively).

As such, an extremely cut 5'8" male and an average to below-average 6'2" male would often be considered on equal footing.

Shorter men must compensate for their height in some manner or fashion to be able to compete on the same level as their taller counterparts, whether that means a more-chiseled physique, better dressed, etc. And this is just for women who are short as well.

Attempting to "game" taller women requires them to perceive you higher SMV when compared to your taller peers as their SMV range will automatically be higher than their short counterparts (i.e. shorter women are much more tolerant of shorter stature than taller women).

EDIT: Please don't downvote this just because it's not what you want to hear.

I've been talking to this really hot girl on tinder. I'm surprised we have so much to talk about.

This is a bigger problem than your height. Save the conversations for the date - use your phone strictly to set up dates.

Check out Bart Kwan, his gf (wife now iirc) is way taller than him, but the guy is big, strong as fuck, successful in business and badass ex marine.

It's all about that SMV.

In my experience as a short guy, it's easier to date shorter girls (< 5'4") or very tall (> 5'8").

Some people will tell you height is an immediate disqualifier, but I haven't ever experienced that.

The big thing you need to make up the difference with is an iron frame and a belief that you are higher status/not afraid of taller guys.

Should I tell her that I'm shorter than her before I set up the date though??? And I know that there are guys dating girls who are taller, but those guys are usually already average height or above, I'm literally built small, not that I don't have muscle but I naturally have a very small frame.

Yeah dude I've plated girls 3-4" taller than me. It's no harder. Early days of game I would get shit tested hard with how old are you and how tall are you. Funny how 10 lbs of muscle and 5% less bodyfat made those tests drop down in frequency.

Does the tall guy have a big advantage? Fuck yeah he does. But unless you do purely ons it's your game and not your looks that'll keep em hungry.
