You're having a self confidence problem, not a height problem

Ok well you should do this then, close your eyes imagine your 6ft+ you see a girl...you approach...it goes well! Now open your eyes and go and approach because you’ll never be 6ft but you can certainly feel like you are and that’s all that matters! No one cares how tall you they just care that you care, if you don’t care no one will.

What's true?

Some women*
and those are the women you don't want to date. You want to date the women who either don't care about height, don't care that much about height, or actually like your height. And there are plenty of women who fall into one of those other categories.

Yeah, of course it doesn't feel like that to you because you haven't had much success with women.
If you had a lot of success with women, you would think your height doesn't matter much.
You're having little to no success, and you're looking for an explanation. And then you begin thinking "maybe it's my height". See how that works? You trick yourself.
It's not that height doesn't matter at all. It does matter. But you what else matters? Everything else matters! There are many men shorter than you who are having a lot more success with women than you are. Am I right or am I wrong?
[–]norwegiandoggo 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
It depends on how you define the word "many" but you should find some easily in your area or your social circle. I have a good friend that's much shorter than you who does well with women. I also have a short friend who does really poorly with women.. Point is. Being short is not an excuse to do poorly with women. If plenty of other dudes can do it, so can probably you too. Don't let this be your crutch or excuse. You're honestly not even that short. You are very close to average height. Plus, you can't change your height. But you can change all the other 1000 things that matter, so if you want success in this area: get to work maximizing the other attributes of attraction that you can actually change.
Fact is, almost all men have some physical flaw they can't change. Maybe they're tall, but they have thinning hair. Maybe they're tall, but their eyes aren't always pointing the same direction. You know, most of us have flaws. And anyone who is seriously about success with women work on the other things that are within their circle of control.

Just chiming in as a 5’8” woman who’s interested in a 5’5” man. He is very attractive to me and I don’t really care about his height. The biggest reason I don’t care about his height is that he doesn’t care about his height. He likes tall queens. Approach it like that. Your insecurity is what’s stopping you for the most part
[–]blue-citrus 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Okay what I’m saying is there are women who don’t care about your height when you bring a lot more attractive qualities to the table. You thinking your height is the only reason you can’t approach women is a you problem, not a women problem. Also the average height of women in lots of countries is less than 5’8” so it really should not be an issue finding someone shorter than you.

Even if they did you wouldn't notice it, because you don't expect them to. And I'm not just saying that, this is a real thing your brain does. Google RAS if you want to read about it. It might sound nonsensical, but if you you believe that your height is a good thing, so will most other people. If girls like you, you're a short king. If they don't, you're a manlet. it doesn't work the other way around.

I have a friend that is 5’5 and has dated nothing but good looking women. He’s in a band that sucks, puts on this fake nice guy thing that is supposed to be charming, dresses well, and projects a confidence that I simply do not care for because it is also inauthentic but hey it works for him. Lose the excuses and believe in yourself

Bro.. sometimes it’s as simple as is not being happy with ourselves. Work on YOURSELF, don’t focus on how you look to other people. I tend to see that people come for me when I stop looking for them. Take some time and do you.

Dude who pulled the biggest game I ever met was short. He was in good shape but not amazing by any means.
Super friendly, went up to everyone, great attitude. He was very interesting as he had traveled to tons of countries (want to say over 100) and had some gnarly military experience (but i meam not the gnarliest by any means). Saw him pull foxes taller than him in foreign counties without knowing a lick of the native language.
Then again sometimes its easier to be a foreigner, he did say it was easier to approach when traveling. So maybe just go travel but honestly american women kinda suck
Just get out there. You don't have to be mr right, sometimes its about being mr right time.

Im similar height and pull girls from nightclubs all the time. Your height is not a death sentence.

Nothing worst than a guy who is ashamed of who he is or who dislikes himself because of his “flaws”… Imagine thinking that the entire only reason girls might not like you is just because you lack some inches…
As if nothing else mattered… I know plenty of guys who are super tall, and they complain they get no action, and feel bad because everybody says that with their height they should be getting laid.
Sorry, but guys who complain about their so called flaws, tend to be guys who just lack a lot in so many other areas starting with their inability to understand women, banter and flirting.
Guys who talk with a woman, and don’t really know what to say to them, they don’t feel comfortable doing any moves out of fear they might be rejected, if they make a move they do it in an awkward way that isn’t smooth at all, if they talk it’s boring and platonic conversation, mostly composed of questions and questions and more questions…
I met short guys who have just the right charisma, and tall guys who are stiff and dull…
Guys who are daring and not giving a fuck about the outcome, and guys who are stuck in their head thinking of all the things that could go wrong if the girl doesn’t like them…
I guarantee you even if you were taller, you would still have problems with girls, because your attitude and mentality wouldn’t change, you would move to the next excuse… That maybe you need a bigger dick, that maybe you need a ferrari, that maybe you need a social circle, that maybe you need a better jawline…
You are so focused on what you lack and your flaws, that you can’t even appreciate yourself for your virtues and strengths.
Do you not think that women feel insecure about what they lack? Many girls are very pretty and yet they feel insecure because they don’t have a good ass, or big enough breasts, or maybe their nose isn’t like a hollywood nose, or maybe they wish they were taller, while taller girls wish they were shorter…
Do those flaws stop them from finding boyfriends? Not really, and flaws like height doesn’t stop guys from finding a girlfriend neither.
Many guys in the world with same height as yours who managed to find a girlfriend.

Your attitude, and lack of self-acceptance is a bigger flaw than your height and far more off putting to women.
[–]ResponsibilityKey427 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That’s not too short. But you wil have a harder time if you are avg compared to avg taller guy.

What's your weight? I'm the same height and I've only had two complaints one ankle biter and a girl that was 5'8 she said she couldn't wear heels around me. Just approach girls shorter than you. 4'11-5'3

Dude everyone in rsd is around that height.
[–]ikeepon 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you don’t feel comfortable with it how can anyone else? Learn to accept your height and so will everyone else. You got this!
[–]ThatgreatSpartan 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I'm 5'11 and I can't approach women shorter or taller than me without stumbling over my words.
[–]ThatgreatSpartan 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You would think that but it is always easier said than done, especially if you are an Introvert like me.
[–]thetryhard06 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’m 5’8 too, but I’m comfortable with it. Women are human beings. They eat, they shit, they pee, they fart, they screw up, you name anything and they do it like us. What makes them different? Communication.
Another way to look at it is perceived height vs actual height. Let’s face it, unless you’re below 21, your height is unlikely to change. Your perceived height, you can change.
What is perceived height? Charisma, social skills, self-worth, your intelligence. I know it equated to self confidence but it’s powerful.
Now, know that not every girl will like you. Some may be blunt, especially at night time. And who tf cares, but your perceived height should not feel affected by it.
Besides, 5’8 is the typical norm for guys.
P.s. I know guys that are 6’ and above and they still lack self-confidence. And just last week, we had a 5’4 guy sexually assault some girl on our campus. It’s fucking crazy how he did it but he must have been that bad in shape. Don’t let it get to you.

You need therapy
[–]BangaiiWatchman 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I really don’t think height is as big of a set back as people think. I knew a guy who was 5’5” who was a total player. Got laid from hot girls all the time.
And if you really feel like you need height, wear elevator shoes from Don’s Footwear.

I wish I was 6ft, I could give you 4inch and still be happy. Being tall is not that great. I’m 6’4 and hit my head on everything 😭
