You can be struggling, insecure mess even if you are tall, been there done that. Especially considering how prevalent bad posture is among the tall guys.

Honestly speaking, I havent realised how important height is to women until I found TRP, and only after the constant waves of reinforcement of the idea that its a big advantage I managed to properly leverage it.

If your ego is large, it won't matter your size. You'll always be looking for where YOU don't stack up to others around you. And if you can't scratch beyond the surface level of things, you'll always be as deep as a kiddy pool.

I work with a lot of Army guys. Ex Calvary who've seen some shit. Sgt Bald Mathew McConaughey can outrun me around our base any day of the week. Sgt Half A Lung Blown Out has great work ethic and gives me pointers that has help me be more productive. And Sgt Smooth and I did push ups every hour on the hour before he PCS'ed back to the states. I could go on, of course. I work with a lot of great people.

My point is I'm taller than all of them, but they were clearly better than me; measurably so. And I learned from them. I listened. Something I could not have done if I said shit like this -

you will also be more confident in yourself if you look down at other people

That's not confidence, that's inflated ego. That's a guy or girl that's never really been tested. And they won't listen either. Anything to keep the ego pristine and unattached to reality.

Over the last year, time and again I am shown that I have failed. Which makes me strive to produce, which reduces ego and adds confidence.

Height is an advantage for guys that have it. Short guys are going to have a smaller dating pool mostly of the women who are shorter than them. Koennenkitten has told me she dated a guy before simply because he was 6' tall. There's no use complaining about it because it's never going to change. This is hard wired in to human biology. I mean do you get upset because grass is green or because gravity makes things go down? Damn you gravity!!!

Just do your best anyway. Get a nice pair of boots that add two inches to your height and focus on the parts of your life you have control over. Learn game and learn to pass the shit tests women will throw at you over your height.

The same can be said of any number of other features. Like race, weight, general attractiveness, etc.

I feel superficial saying this but I would never date any guy shorter than me..

I'm 6'3; guys comment so much on this, women rarely mention it.

I think it's like muscles, after a certain point girls stop caring.

Pro Tip: If you go through life comparing yourself to everyone around you you're going to have a bad time.
