TL/DR: Women want a man who they believe is superior to them in some way. There are multiple ways of achieving this state of superiority.

Background: So lately I've scoured across the Internet hoping to find a semblance of positivity regarding this subject. Growing frustrated with the lack of quality, in-depth discussion from mentally stable, self assured individuals, I decided to put together my own guide regarding the deeper message when girls state their preference for a taller beau.

Over at the red pill we have emphasized an important fundamental skill to ensure our success with the opposite sex.

"Do not listen to what she says, watch what she does."

For lack of a better term I consider it to be cognitive dissonance for anyone to practice their fundamentals such as this one, while believing a woman who states their height standards at face value.

Philosophical Assertion: Everyone is welcome to their own theories in the comments section but if I have your attention I'd like to take a crack at this statement.

What she says: "I won't date anyone shorter than 6'0."

What she means: "I'm not subconsciously attracted to a man who isn't my superior and doesn't make me feel submissive in any way."

You see these height standards that women shoot out of their asses are just a simple way of stating their subconscious desire to have their world rocked by an "alpha" male. (I quote alpha because I believe everyone exists on a spectrum and I will talk more about this later regarding height.)

Gentlemen, this is Hypergamy 101 we are talking about. Women are acting upon their desire to mate with the best possible male. Height is a superficial advantage because at first glance a taller man has already imposed himself upon a women just by standing there.

Hit me wit dat counter baby: Now before you say that whole same guy in every way but one is taller bullshit let me kindly tell your insecure subconscious to shut the fuck up for a second and listen. You are all special snowflakes in the fact that everyone is different, you will never meet your taller clone and if you do I will eat Cheerios out of your asshole for a week.

Refutation-ish: Let's go back to highschool for a second where social hierarchy was a visible thing. Let's compare a short guy say 5'7 and a tall one maybe... 6'3. In one corner the short guy is near the top of the social hierarchy. He's fun to be around, both boys and girls agree he can be quite charming. He dresses well and he stays in shape. He may even be a top performing athlete in a specific sport. Now in the other corner is the tall guy, you will easily spot this guy walking down the hallway but in the grand scheme of things he is invisible in the social hierarchy. He has a few friends but no one having much success with girls either. He's quite timid and spends most of his time either in fringe sports like MMA, Rockclimbing, (I promise girls don't give a shit about these at that age unless you look like Brad Pitt, especially when your an algae eater on the highschool food chain) or grinding to level 12x9infinityeleven on his favorite MMORPG that sucks dry the little amount of fun money he may have.

Now you decide, if you were a girl who would you pick?

The Tall One: Notice how I spoke nothing of their physical characteristics other than height and health, that is because I personally know a tall guy, let's call him Sean. Sean is ugly as sin, his hair looks like a buzzcut version of Simple Jack from Tropic Thunder and his face isn't the most pleasant thing to look at. Sean dated one of the finest piece of asses our high school had to offer. This was because Sean was at the top of the social hierarchy. Sean was hyper-athletic, stood an imposing 6'4 and was a rich white male living in a suburb where wealth reigns supreme. Sean even had the academic chops to accept a football scholarship to an Ivy League college. He was clearly on the alpha male side of the spectrum. Are you seeing where female Hypergamy plays into this?

Philisophical Assertion Part II: I personally believe there is a spectrum of height where the work required to reach success is about the same. Let's say anywhere from a strong 5'7 to 6'2. Any shorter and things start to become a challenge, anything taller and you're limited to outspoken women (aka sluts) unless you have major game regarding cold approach because a majority of women will be anxious about approaching the 6'5 chiseled David.

I know I'm going on a tangent about these tall guys but I really am trying to encourage you red pillers to look past your height and find confidence elsewhere.

Women usually want a guy whose taller than they are but if you are able to unlock whatever part of their brain sends tingles down into their vaginas, their hamsters will spin like a slot machine reconsidering their standards when they have seen what you bring to the table.

Now let me give you some background on myself:

I am 5'5, and a half Asian at that. I have a pleasant face to look at but I am no Paul Walker (I would say a strong 7 to weak 8 at best). For being Asian I have been blessed with a masculine face and strong jaw. My natural resting face is menacing. I have been working out going on 7 years now on and off and consider myself to be slightly under the top tier of physiques. In high school I was apart of the top 20% in the social hierarchy and was never short of female attention. I had my own following of admirers who like the kind of guys who don't look like anyone else (I was also a freshman/sophomore slayer as a junior/senior, judge me).

Having natural introverted tendencies (remember, everyone resides on a spectrum) I no longer enjoy the popularity I did in high school, I am more of a lone wolf type. But this doesn't hold me back and I can turn the extroverted charm on whenever I desire. I maximize my strengths per se.

My physique in combination of facial aesthetics above the average gym-bro grants me plenty of respect in the weight room. Other men including tall ones defer to me and usually get out of my way 75% of the time. Sometimes I will ask someone for equipment and when they are done with it they will walk over to ME and set it near where I am working out. Most of the time when the scenario presents itself they will initiate conversation with me and we will exchange pleasantries (this doesn't happen very often because I suffer from chronic bitch face and look unapproachable at times). I don't know about you but I consider that to be respect.

Whenever I go out in public I like to experiment. Sometimes I dress quite modestly and occasionally I'll get a look but nothing too frequent, employees treat me nicely but just like I'm part of the regular crowd.

This changes when I go out in more revealing attire.

You don't really know how a girl looks at you when they're REALLY enjoying what they see until you've spotted it enough times. It's nearly always the same behavior. They spot you, maybe do a double take. Anxiously their eyes dart to you but when you make eye contact, unless they are quite bold they will look away. If you are not moving they try to move to an area where they are in your view. They speak louder in hopes that you notice them. As they are engaged in conversation they are not fully there with the other participant because they can't help but look at you every so often.

Employees are nicer to you and may even do special favors for you especially when you return their kindness. You make average people and boyfriends feel uncomfortable about themselves and will notice typical mate guarding behavior.

I use myself as an example because I consider myself among the short men to be an exception to the rule. But I have only gotten this way through self improvement. I work HARD everyday and I stand out because of it, not because I am a loud person. I provided this example because I want you other red pill men to believe in yourself and see what can be done if you work hard to make a better life for yourself. Yes a lot of this sounds like "Step 1: be attractive" and it's true, it's a superficial world we live in. But you must play the cards you are dealt and work towards being a better you.

Gentlemen. We are ALL in this together.

If the reception on this post is positive I will consider a follow up post that provides additional depth.

EDIT: I feel this needs to be said. Men, do not feel bitter at women because of the way they are. Be passionately curious in everything you do. Be curious to understand the way women work and I promise you that a women/your harem whatever way you role will complement you and make you [want to be] a better man.
