Two things:

1) are you sure you want to get a second degree with such a high earning job already? Or are u wealthy by blood? Doesnt matter. Do what u want in the end.

2) i can relate to your comment about post wall dating. Forst off, u just said the girl u have a date with diesnt look good at all.... So dont go on the date! If ur not interested its a waste of your time. I also personally want to have an ltr with someone my age or younger, ut my last two were with 30 y.o.'s. I promised myself that after this relationship os over, i will only let myself date girls i can see myself with long term. Im 24, but thinking ahead because family IS important to me, not just fucking around (i've had my fill for now). So my only advice to you and myself, is that steo one is to stop going on dates with girls you dont want. Thats dumb. Even if it means not having a date set up every weekend

Not this fucking post again. I guess it has been a week...

Here's the secret: stop fucking worrying about it. The fact that it bothers you so much is EXACTLY why it's a problem in your life. The undercurrent of insecurity affects everything in your life. I mean, seriously, you wear lifts? Are you going to get a bad toupee when/if the day comes that your hair starts to thin to go along with them?

Are there women that prefer to date tall dudes? Sure, but so what? There's also women that prefer to date white dudes or black dudes or Latino dudes. Shit, I have a preference for Latina women with freckles and great hair, doesn't mean I won't ever date a blonde girl with porcelain skin and a bob haircut.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, continue to rock the things you can and stop worrying about stupid shit that is impossible to change, like your height.

I am tall, but my dad is short and also a high earner. Every one of mg girlfriends comment that he's really attractive - in looks and personality.... In my entire life as his son, i have never heard a single word mentioned about his height. Not a single word. Not even a light joke or anything by anyone. Ive only heard things like "your dads so cool. Your so lucky to have your dad. Your father is a great man. Oh wow he has a cool job!". Point is that you are focusing too much on height. Yes. It matters. Yes. You are at a disadvantage. ..... And?.... Theres nothing you can do about that. So no need yo stress. Move forward. Keep meeting women. Keep doing the same. The one adjustment I'd make for you is to not get too big of an ego there... You are not going to have a meaningful relationship with a 20 year old. 25 is the sweet spot for you. Dont force yourself to like 30 year olds, but if u remain single and 5 more years go by despite trying to find the LTR you want, you'd better reevaluate your preferences and compare them against your key interest demographic.

Dude, see it this way; if you are an awesome person and your height is stopping you from dating some hot women, it is their loss. I am 5'6" myself and I don't date women taller than me. Period. I have actually told people that they are very attractive but I am not interested because of their height. Because of some twisted logic, this works. I know for a fact that lots of taller than average women are insecure about their height problem and hate the fact that lot of awesome men get eliminated because of it.

Social circles, don't make cold-approaching or online dates a priority.

I feel that my stature is a real problem.

You've said that you're wealthy, educated and reasonably fit, but are you sure you're not overlooking other alluring qualities? What about status or power? Are you a leader? Are you funny and interesting? Are you charming? Are you exciting to be around? Are you able to engage a woman mentally and physically? Are you a good lover? I bet all these things are way better aphrodisiacs than height alone. It's easy to blame your stature because it's evident, but I think that obsessing about something you have absolutely no control over is just a symptom of laziness. You should take responsibility for the things you can actually improve in your life. But remember, your attitude comes first: stop thinking about your height and making a drama out of it; understand how much empowering (and rewarding eventually) is taking responsibility for what you can change.

but I felt like a elf hugging her...

Just stop dating taller women if that's a problem for you. I'm sure there are plenty of beautiful women around your height. Besides, how sex can even be enjoyable with bigger women if you're not able to manhandle them?

Women will always tell you that they prefer taller men. How can you blame them? Tall men are certainly attractive. But what if height might just be correlated to attractiveness without it being the cause? I like (want) to believe that being tall is just a shortcut for projecting power, leadership, and other positive qualities, without making any effort. If you can project those positive qualities by other means, I think women will overlook your height (at least to a certain extent). Hope you'll find this perspective helpful.

Not sure why you're getting shit for being insecure about something most men are, maybe it's triggering their insecurities. But to get to your point, if you're wealthy, consider getting limb lengthening surgery. I had a long discussion with a friend who went to Turkey to get 5 inches (3" Tibial and 2" Femural), which was the maximum the doctor recommended. If it's having that big of an impact in your life, I'd say get it done.

This belongs in /r/asktrp. And the quick answer is lift! You'll see within a few months the bigger you get, the taller the women will be who find you naturally attractive where your height doesn't matter. The law of diminishing returns will kick in somewhere along the way of course, but that's a long way off from where you're at right now.

If you don't have a 6 pack, then there's also improvements to be made in that respect as well.

Tl;dr - if you're short, then get big and strong.
