Been answered a million times. A vast majority of women will be shorter than you, so it doesn't matter. Moreover there are quite a bunch of posts here of guys who are 6 ft + and have their shit together, yet get close to zero action. Just do it.

Doesn't really matter if said girls are shorter than you, they want a tall guy anyways lol
[–]Archyblackcat 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
If they’re shorter than you you have a chance because they see you as “tall”
[–]TooMuchJibberish 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
because they see you as “tall”
Not always, and I've seen this firsthand. Some guy that was 5'9 was considered short by some 5'3 girl lol
[–]Archyblackcat 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Not always but you don’t need all shorter girls to find you tall, you just new a few of them to find you tall so you could have a chance with one

Cope

How am I coping?

Your comment history is littered with your bemoaning the state of dating for a 5'6" mixed man.
I'm the same height, skinny as fuck, and over 30. The three reasons I don't have an SO/FWB right now are my anxiety, choice of living place, and awful text game. These are all things I feel it is in my power to fix.
It could be that your face is holding you back but it seems more like you're just saying there's no point in trying to cope with your lack of success.

mixed man
Well hispanic but kind of mixed I suppose
It could be that your face is holding you back
More than likely yes
no point in trying to cope with your lack of success.
This is up to each person

Of course. But I hope you get something useful out of this sub.
[–]TooMuchJibberish 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't know what I would get out of this sub. Any of the advice given might only work once I've gymaxxed and looksmaxxed.

Girls look for guys who are 1.09 their height. That means your margin of natural attraction is girls between 156 - 160 cm. So approach those more to increase your odds. That's the avg best. Few exceptions will apply, so don't kill your little odds.
+ Wear shoes that would give you 2 cm extra.
+ Stand straight. A curved back signals low self-esteem and loses you precious height points. + wear clothes with vertical stripes instead of horizontal ones. +wear Dark trousers vs light shirts, it tricks the human eye into believing you are taller than you appear.
Go take Action!

Better to approach in a fun and relaxed way IRL. Open with a flirty joke and go from there. You probably have to carry the convo but that’s the game.
Don’t worry about height if you develop game, have boundaries and call them out on any shit in a fun way.

Neil Strauss is 5’6, ugly, high pitched voice, bald, dorky fashion taste, and yet he’s one of the best PUAs out there. He also has a banging wife.

The wife who he divorced with after 2 years?

Im 5 7 and I out perform dudes taller than me on a weekly if not, daily basis.
I go out solo to night clubs in vegas with the sole purpose of hooking up with girls. Refer to my field reports if you want to learn.
[–]vroomvroomski -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Just ignore it, girls don't notice that shit as much as we think they do. There's a vocal minority of girls that heavily favor tall guys but even models I've been with don't care as much about height as they do about other things (money, status, looks, personality)

Women dont thirst over Bill Gates
[–]vroomvroomski 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's cuz he's old and not attractive.
They do thirst over Tom Holland who's short and skinny, but dresses well and has money and status.

Bruh women definitely care about height wtf
[–]vroomvroomski 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Maybe some do but I'm 5'7-5'8 and date models in NYC. It does help that I'm popping on Instagram and somewhat wealthy but I'm not that good looking.
[–]coffeecoast 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My husband is 5’7-5’8 Im 5’5 BIG personality. Naturally a comedian. Doesn’t care about others opinions. Casts a long shadow. Honestly, be yourself. Trust me. You will be happy with what comes.

According to a research, at 5'6 you'd be considered too short by 75% of women, at 5'7 considered too short by 65% of women. Keep in mind this research was done in the western world.
Definitely do not go for any girls that are taller than you, but you already know that. Ideally, you'd only go for women shorter than you, rather than same height.
So it is possible, just know that a decent portion will write you off.

[–]Billieclide 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Ok, yes being under 6’ will hold you back somewhat.
BUT … it doesn’t mean you’re out of the game entirely now id like to offer you an even taller prospect guaranteed BETTER! than the 6’ dude with ZERO game! But wait! Because you’re here now I’d like to remind you and only YOU that I’m not here for long! I guarantee you you won’t find my presence anywhere else!

Here we have: Confidence, Muscles, Charisma, Status and Game. I can’t promise I’ll be here all day but I’ll guarantee you I’ll deliver you MORE than all your guys combined! 😎

Being short or any other less-than-ideal attribute is only a problem if you believe that it is indeed a problem. Frame is important when you have a perceived flaw dictated by society. The vast majority agree that while preference is preference, immediate rejection based on height is quite shallow and being shallow is ultimately a less wanted quality than short height could ever be. Maintaining the frame that being judged for your height reveals their shallow nature helps you maintain your dignity and forces them to look at themselves for a minute.
People are more than their physiology... anyone of value understands this. If you're being underestimated for something like height, that person simply is not yet at an emotional maturity to value who a person is by their actions and choices over some perceived ideal quality they had no control or influence over. These immature people are just being protected by their ego. They know they have very little to offer in terms of inner qualities defined by the tested judge-able soul so they glorify the outer qualities defined by the gifted disposable body. Our bodies will never be us. Enjoy who you are.

saw a dude well over 6 foot with a chick who must've been like 5 ish..... doggy must be soooooooooo fun
[–]Zealousideal6669 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Focus on yourself simply and do the right things, approach girls already makes you stand out so you're already way ahead of guys who are taller than you but can't go and talk to girls
[–]huntersnipern 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It's the same advice that's all over just nut up and approach

Move to Miami, you’ll feel tall here
[–]Disciplineisonly 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
im tall 6'5 i've been approached by women, told im handsome etc. But I am insecure as fuck. Have seen my 5'7 friends outpull me when i was a fatass. Short guys with confidence are attractive.
Now may I ask, as a short guy do you really feel insecure around taller dudes? I feel insecure around other dudes in general because even if a guy is a shorter, i always feel fatter or uglier therefore not as valuable. do you feel the same? The reason i ask is because despite my height im insecure, so it may not be a height issue for you.
[–]TableChairDesk 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
use your weakness as a strength. using indirect openers on a group of tall girls. be friends with them. then say something like “let’s have some fun. you’re going to be my wingwoman for the night.” and have them/her help you.
