Regardless of man or woman, getting off the dating apps is in your best interest. Women select their mates based on physical attraction and emotional connection. Looks alone, are not enough.

The emotional aspect of dating is taken out of those apps so it leaves women to choose men based on sexual attraction, which is part of the reason many men on those apps are at a disadvantage.

I generally meet guys irl, by going to social places I enjoy. This allows me to take in all of the guy. The place you meet a woman means you at least have 1 thing in common.

A man with charisma, good social skills, a good sense of humor and the ability to maintain conversation are all things that can draw a woman into him. Doing little things like engaging in playful banter, and taking in interest in her life, without coming off as desperate or needy, are all ways you emotionally connect with her, and build a bond and communicate to her you are a man of value.

Some people just don’t care about height. . If someone is kind and treats a woman well it won’t matter.

However there are some women who legit have to have instant physical attraction - if they don’t because of height- there’s nothing that can be done about it.

I have never dated a man taller than 5’7”. My boyfriends were 5’6”, 5’7”, and 5’5”.

My height preference is not strong because I’m short, and I dislike dating very tall men because it’s hard to hold hands or walk with them.

Nothing really “makes up” for height for me. It’s not like I would date an ugly 6’3” guy. The most important factor in physical attractiveness is his face regardless of how tall he is.

The same things that make a not short guy dateable.

My husband is short (I’m tall, fwiw), and we met on a dating app. The reasons I swiped were because he looked pretty handsome, he seemed pretty cool from his profile, and he had a prompt that I specifically wanted to reply to. His job also seemed really cool (NOT richy-rich, but really interesting), and I had never heard of it so I wanted to ask about it.

The reason I kept dating him is because he IS cool, we get along really well, we have the same values/goals, we make each other laugh, we both just really liked each other, etc. He’s super hard-working, really caring, handsome, just an amazing guy all-around. He’s also very charismatic in a very sincere way. He has a way of really connecting with people that is of course attractive but also very admirable.

Just the same as what makes any other guy dateatable for me. And my bf is 5’4

I have a coworker who I would 100% date if I was single and he’s maybe 5’3” and bald. He isn’t a great looking guy at all, but his personality is awesome and I feel comfortable around him. He’s funny as hell, kind, hard working (although not wealthy at all. He’s a maintenance technician.). He’s the same age as me (45). My SO knows about him and knows that I would date him if I was single and doesn’t feel threatened at all. He’s very secure which is a major reason why I adore him so much. 😍

Personality matters a lot. He has a great personality and awesome energy. There is another dude at my office who I would date if we were single and he’s also not tall or rich. He’s very kind, thoughtful, funny, etc.

Im married to one, he is fun, affectionate, he cares for me and treats me like a queen. He listens and has empathy. Takes care of himself. And its amazing in bed.

the height requirement is too important for me.

so honestly, nothing. it’s not a dynamic i could ever see myself getting into, and i wouldn’t feel attraction for someone at that height.

Nellylocheadbean · 2024-12-19T13:43:17+00:00

Have an attractive face and we’ll go from there

Platform shoes

Im 6ft1. He was around 5ft7. Maybe shorter, but I didn’t know exactly and didn’t care. He was probably the cleverest and most confident person I’ve ever known. And we just clicked in every way. And to me, he was the sexiest thing on two legs. Of course the redpillers will say he was probably built like a body builder, etc etc. He wasn’t. But I don’t give a shit what excuses they will use as reasons I was with him. He was the most masculine man to me.

There is no set of rules you can follow to make you dateable. There are of course, shallow women who will demand height. But who cares? They shouldn’t even be on your radar. Do you think an average looking woman as tall as me appeals to everyone? Should I moan about that? Of course not.

I can say loads more. But my replies are always too long. So if you want to know anything, feel free to ask.

For me personally

nice face
intelligent
funny
ambitious
empathetic
good hair
adventurous
not sex-obsessed
similar age

If a short guy had all of that and showed interest in me, I would date him in a heartbeat.
