Is height really that important?

Musicgoon · 2021-04-22T09:05:08+00:00

If you're short then height seems to be everything. If you're bald, hair seems to be everything. If you're poor money seems to be everything. If you're fat muscles seem to be everything.

So tell me this: When I was super fat, dressed raggedy, broke, homeless and divorce raped, how did I manage to do so well?

Anyone......?

The answer is I didn't even think about anything that was lacking in any part of my life. All I thought was ,"Fuuuuucckkk yeah! Freedom! I'll never spend another day abused by that ugly mean bpd bitch of a wife!". When you climb back out of the pits of hell you realize that no matter what your shortcomings are, freedom gives you the potential to do anything you want.

All these excuses are just walls you put up so that you don't have to face discomfort. All of these thing are incredibly small portions of the bigger picture of game and your value as a man.

Sack up and go get yours bro. It's really not difficult unless you want it to be.

The pecking order is:

Confident > Not a loser > Taller than her > Fit

I know tall guys who could be swimming in pussy but rarely get laid due to lack of feature #1. Height is important, but height alone won't open any legs.

I'm short. In my dating career, I stayed fit, was successful, and dressed well. Frankly, I never had a problem finding girls, and had a few cheerleaders in high school, a few taller girls in college, and did fine dating professional girls after college.

Abundance is the key, as it's a numbers game. Are some girls going to reject you? Sure. But the reality is that something we all face. So find your niche. I ended up dating mostly shorter girls, (5'1-5'5) and never let it bother me. I had a girlfriend in college who was taller than me but you know what? She fucking melted when I used to throw her around and ragdoll her like she wasn't there. I've got plenty of fit friends who are 'short' and slay, and I've got plenty of taller friends who are awkward and dateless. Figure out what you are good at, and get better at that.

Height is important as fuck. Anyone telling you otherwise is simply coping. A 6'4" is never gonna be the same as a 5'2" guy. The important thing is to note that height is just a factor, not the entire set. We are dealt different hands. The thing is to do what you can do best with the hand you're dealt.

Would it be better if you were taller? Yes.

Would it be better if you never needed online blogs to learn how to interact with women? Yes.

Would it be better if your dick was longer? Yes.

Would it be better if you were smarter? Yes.

What can you do about all these? Nothing.

I'm 6'4" and get rejected. I'm no pussy magnet. I'm sure it helps being my height and looking good, but I lack game and status.

Many women prefer taller men because they make them feel smaller and feminine. Remember it's all about power and authority and typically taller dudes exude a bit more of it.

Think of Tony Soprano. He was balding and overweight but women loved him and not just on the show, like in real life. It was the power and authority that he exudes.

The issue with shorter guys is that they feel so insecure over their height that they cannot possibly see themselves as dominating a taller girl. It's a self image problem first and foremost.

Think about it from an evolutionary perspective, who is more likely to be able to protect her and her offspring....a guy who is 8/10 looks and 5’10 or 5/10 looks and 6’4?

Then think about it from a interrelationship perspective, who is more likely to more easily generate feelings of submission in her....a guy who is 5’10 or 6’4?

Height is not everything, it simply helps but that is why girls find it easier to be attracted to taller guys. It is not about it being a status symbol or a weird fetish.

No. It’s as important as you think it is.

cunningcaring · 2021-04-22T10:41:43+00:00

Height is just one factor. You think these tall guys aren't good looking and your wrong.

It's like anything. If you're 6 feet then being 6'3 will be marginally better. If you're 5'8 going to 6' will be a huge benefit. Also, Women don't know shit about height really. Some of hot coworkers were having a convo about 6 feet being a requirement for guys they will date in the lunch room. I jokingly said, "Damn, I knew there was a reason we never dated" in passing

They were both surprised to hear I was not 6 feet tall. I am 5'10. Turns out my height was the "requirement" they were talking about. Could they have been trying to pad my ego? Perhaps, but these girls don't at all seem like the type.

For some.

When I was married, I was putting shit up on the shelf and my (then) wife had this dreamy look on her. I asked her what's up and she's like "nothing - just glad you're tall."

Me: So, if I was short. You wouldn't be with me. Her: Nope.

To this day. Not sure if a shit test or honesty.

Anyway, OP consider height as a preference. We all have them but women have abundance and can select around preferences. They can and do make exceptions but you take two identical guys and make one 5 ft 4 and the other 6ft 3 and that one who is higher will get more chicks.

Also remember that the way men and women perceive and rate male attractiveness is vastly different.

Many guys we would see as badass and manly looking are not seen as attractive by most women.

brookenoise · 2021-04-22T16:13:51+00:00

So, the problem here is that you are trying to compare "looks" versus "status". Status, in this case height, trumps looks every time.

The way you compete as a shorter guy is to know how women choose their mates inherently. The hierarchy to their mating decisions goes as followed in this order: "Status, Money, Looks." A huge confusion for men, the sex that values looks more, is the "But she could be with someone who LOOKS better." To women, they don't care about looks if that person has a higher status or a desirable lifestyle (ie money). Hope that helps.

Hmmmm interesting. Woman want a dude who can protect them, I think height makes them feel that way. Which on the contrary should mean if height is that important, building muscle might have similar effect

redbeast27 · 2021-04-22T22:54:50+00:00

Be confident...couldn’t put it any simpler

Filmguy000 · 2021-04-23T02:18:35+00:00

It is a status symbol. Sure game, money and status are all part of SMV. But I can say that height is probably the most effective attribute a man can have. Height gives a man a commanding presence. A short fat dude with money might get women but its almost always transactional. A broke ass tall guy can activate a woman's breeding urges far easier.

I know a 6'5 dude who hands down has Asperger's. Super awkward and hasn't gotten laid in years. Why? Because when women come up to him, his mind shorts out and he says something odd or off-putting. I repeat WHEN WOMEN COME UP TO HIM, his mind shorts out and he says something odd or off-putting.

Is height really that important?

No. I'm 6-3 and it has never been a panacea or really helped my dating life online or otherwise
