height question

it sounds like you have an inferiority complex. If you feel as though you perceive yourself as less, because you are not tall, then girls can read that by your presence and the way you conduct yourself. stand straight, dont slouch, and dont let your height get you down. if it makes you more confident to wear those shoes, then do so, but dont rely on them too much. it might be just the fact that when you wear those shoes, you are more confident, and girls and attracted to the confidence rather than the extra tiny bit of height, and the nice outfit you are wearing

I'll level with you, man: nobody gives a fuck about your shoes. Nobody but complete spazzes, anyway. If you're self-conscious about your height, get yourself a pair of boots. But 5'8'' isn't anything to freak out about. You're slightly below average height for a dude in the suburbs or rural areas. In the city, you're around average. If people are ignoring you or not taking you seriously, it's because you're projecting insecurity, not because of your height. I've seen dudes way shorter than you with totally commanding presence, and dudes over six feet tall look like gawky trolls with no game whatsoever. Relax and stop fixating on it. You're fine.

height doesn't matter to them unless it matters to you, confidence is the key, as always.

Unfortunately girls are genetically predisposed towards taller guys but this is easily overcome through being better than them in other areas.

As far as a direct answer, I wear boots when going out. The heels usually bring me up an inch or two.

In the long run it doesn't matter though. Half my LTR through the years have been 4+ inches over me. Nice thing about it is I can scramble around them better in the bed than some gangly daddy long legs looking mofo.

You're welcome. Also a 5'8" guy and with these shoes everyone thinks I'm 5'10" and it's night and day. Girls are more flirty and guys seem to take me a little more seriously. Spring for the expensive elevator shoes because they make a world of difference and don't look suspicious.

A lot of what you 'notice' is down to how you present yourself. If you appear meek then you will be treated as such. You could get lifts but then what does that say about yourself?

You can't change your height. The most permanent solution is to accept it. Because honestly speaking, you'll never be happy with yourself if you don't

5 foot 8 is not a deal breaker for most women my dude..I had a good friend in highschool who was a pussy machine same exact height as you, also pretty jacked and was overall really good looking with a bad boy persona.

As long as you have a characteristic presence and confidence you'll have no issues.

Also no lift shoes! I'm not even a footwear guy but whenever I see them I recognize them instantly and can easily discern that the guy is insecure about his height. It looks way too try hard.

You've made height a limiting belief. Women are interested in a strong confident man. Women are much less concerned with genetics than men are when it comes to attraction.

Quit bitching about your height. I am 5'3. I got over it. Don't bother with platform shoes or any of that shit. That's just a temporary, superficial fix.

The only way to truly deal with your height issue (despite the fact you're roughly average) is to come to terms with the fact that it just DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER.

The difference when you are wearing platforms is most likely down to your increased confidence because you think that it DOES matter.

Good luck, bro.

5,8 is not short at all....stand up fucking straight and own that shit. stop bitching about things you cant change.

I love sperrys, I always get the dark brown ones though because they look more dressy.

I don't think its the shoes, I think its how the shoes make you feel and how you feel is what they sense more than what's on your feet. Don't let the height thing get to you. I'm 5'11 and I thought that was tall until one day I just took notice that just about every guy I crossed was about 1 to 4 inches taller than me. Tyler from RSD is like 5'9 and he has mentioned this in his past videos about guys who are 6'3 that wish they were taller because they felt it would attract more girls.

"Its not the height of the man that counts, the its breadth of his character." (From thenarrrowpath - just now 4/15/15)

5'8"?

I know so many dudes that are your height that are drowning in pussy, and im talking about actually attractive girls.

You're not that short. Stop worrying about it.

RichardPalma · 2015-04-14T22:32:14+00:00

Get some platforms. It's not because the height helps. I have a plate taller than me and have no problem with taller girls (though I must admit, if she's like the statute of liberty, I'm not really interested anyway) and I'm only 5'6"

But what matters more is how you feel about it. The confidence that a 4" sole will give you will probably do wonders for you.
