Best you can do for your looks is dress very well and get very yoked. Being ugly and yoked by itself is something quite a few women are deadass into. It's more "manly" looking than a pretty boy. As far as mental state, swagger and confidence goes really far in tipping women towards you. Personally, I understand, I am also 5'5. I'm lucky enough to have a good face but due to being short I really need to sell it with a winning personality and alpha behavior to get any girl to like me. I would say, women will be more inclined to go after a man who's big than one who's handsome. I lose out to tall men all the time but not every time.

And what are you?
[–]Lonely_Man22 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
Black. Chicks these days would rather be with a white guy because it improves their social status.
[–]ZachMoore88 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Bullshit. I see tons of white chicks with black guys.
[–]Lonely_Man22 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yea I’ve seen the same but he usually has to overcompensate for being black.
[–]ZachMoore88 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
In what way?
[–]Lonely_Man22 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
He has to have more to offer her in comparison to the white guy having just the basics. A good example is black athletes dating white chicks and the same white chick would date a regular white guy thats not an athlete and he probably works 9-5 could even live with his parents. You see what I’m saying?

The gap isn't as big as you think
[–]fnamazin 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Bull. I’m black, 5’6 and I’ve been with more white girls than black, especially nowadays. If you go out, you see white girls/black guys all of the time. 90% of these women have literally told me they only date black guys. They’re out there bro.

I guess it’s just me then. Kudos to you cause I’m surrounded by girls in college and can’t get a single one.

the more you keep worrying about your height the less confident you’ll be in yourself and the smaller you’ll seem to people, just be sure of yourself and it won’t attract everybody but you’ll attract a lot more
[–]CocoBabeNYC 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Can you specifically define confidence and be extremely specific about how it is related to your height?
[–]jaysucess1_ 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Advice: Stop using that as a crutch like there isn’t a short guy alive who doesn’t get top tier pussy…
[–]Warm-Disaster-5769 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Im also in ur same boat and while im certainly no lady magnet the best way is to build your own confidence…was your face, do your hair , go to the gym, dress better, walk more smooth and the confidence will come slowly overtime and with confidence any man can go out and get a girl
[–]sippycupjoe 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I knew this dude that was 90lbs graduating high school now he’s 145+ JACKED, took like 6 years though. He gets plenty of puss for his ugly ass.

when I’ve lost the genetic lottery.
Genes are more than your looks! Many if not most of your abilities (physical, psychological) have at least some basis in your genes. You haven't pushed yourself to your limits, therefore you can't know, how good your genes are.
In general the most important thing will be for you to not use your (perceived) disadvantages as an excuse to give up. Something can be hard to achieve. But if you give up, you will certainly not get it. NEVER GIVE UP!

Self-confidence for strong mindset. Women are attracted to genuine confidence. They can smell it. And cologne, they like to smell your cologne too.

Focus on other things you have to offer. Try to find girls that are your same height. Schwartzman is one of my favorite tennis players. He's quite short. From Argentina. His girl is smoking. Ofc he has lots of $ but he's also competitive and tough. He even doubles with Isner to highlight how confident he is. Isner is an American tennis player almost 7 feet tall.

Nope not here! Sorry to hear that. Don't give up🍀
[–]burncushlikewood 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I like how someone used the word yoked in this thread. Lol hit the gym bro and take some supplements, work on your game, just saying people are more attracted to people who look similar to each other, there's a girl for everyone man you just need to work on the technique to find her

Settle for a below average really tall girl, do it for future generations
[–]premedchunsa 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Honestly, you need money and status.
[–]ChoppedBelAir 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You're just going to have to make peace with it. Try to make it a strength by not shying away from it. It's ok to make a couple light hearts short jokes. If a girl turns you down or says anything yet to have a couple light hearts comebacks. Don't attack her back but just things like "I have it where it counts, my heart" "what I lack in height I make up for in personality" "well my mom says I have a good personality" or something funny because it is confident to not care about it.
Eventually just joking about your own height will lead to you not caring about it as much
