It's a fact of life... some women will just be petty about height. But most will say that they prefer a tall man, yet find themselves perfectly happy with a shorter guy who is confident, smart, and successful.

Never trust what they say.

Without being cocky, I do believe I have those 3 traits you named. I try my best not only for myself but my future partner as well. I just hope my height won’t be my downfall.

Don’t limit yourself, just look at Floyd Mayweather. You think he cares if he’s tall enough for a female?
[–]Kevinserj 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Definitely not. He could buy the whole population if he wanted to. Good point 👍🏻

I’m 5’4” bro, don’t even worry about the things you cannot control.
If you’re dealing with a girl that thinks height is super important, you should leave her alone anyway.

It is pretty annoying being short but it's not that big an impairment. Work on what you can.
Here's the superpower that you have: You're probably a mesomorph, which means your body will get muscular with just a little bit of heavy lifting.
Weight train regularly, you will bulk up, and girls will prefer you over taller guys.
[–]Kevinserj 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I am currently bulking and I have been lifting for about 2 years now. Made great progress. I even made a fitness YouTube channel to help others it’s my passion. Hopefully they could make up for some lack of height.

As a guy who’s 5’9 I always say if you’re short you had better be a short muscular, badass with confidence and good fashion sense.
The reality is most women couldn’t care less about the actually height metrics. What women REALLY want is to feel protected & SAFE.
I’ve never had any issues dating because despite being shorter, I’ve also always been taller than all the women I’ve dated. Plus the fact that I lift weights & have a good stocky physique & wear clothes that show it, has always meant women have felt safe around me.
Being chill and confident with women so they never sense any insecurity (which I used to have a lot of) goes a long way. It won’t hurt to start training in a martial art to get some confidence too (like Bjj or Boxing).
It’ll only be an issue if you make it an issue. That said, DO THE WORK. You can’t be short & fat, or short & skinny and expect to have a wide variety of options with women. Let alone short & insecure.

I’ve been working out for 2 years and even have a fitness YouTube channel that I manage. Trust me when I tell you other then height, I have the rest of my life ON LOCK DOWN. That being said, I will take everything you said into consideration and continue being the best version of myself possible 💪🏼👊🏻
[–]RomanH101 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
In that case you’re good just be confident & you’ll be fine.
Sure some women will have issue but from what I’ve experienced, women who are extremely picky about having really tall guys like above 6ft tend to be the bratty, masculine types.
Because of their masculine energy, they require a significantly taller man to feel like a lady since they tend to try to overpower and compete with men. So I prefer more feminine women who don’t need Gigachad to remind them they have a vag.
Might not be the case for all with that taste but its an observation.
Yeah that’s definitely true. I struggle quite a bit with confidence even tho I know I’m putting in the work. Do you have any advice or tips for that? Like for example I’m fine around any women but then second I think of approaching them my anxiety flows thru the body. Granted, I’ve only asked out 2 women in my life and both said they had a boyfriend.
[–]RomanH101 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I’d start with reading a book called How to be a 3% Man by Corey Wayne. That book taught me everything I needed to know about dating, from approaching to maintaining interest.
It’s hard to explain without you reading the book but I’ll try to keep it simple.
It’s all about the mindset you’re going into the approach with.
Most guys approach women with a “Will she like me?” type of mindset. But you should approach women with a “I wonder if I’LL like her” mindset.
So when you walk over you should be thinking, this is a great opportunity for HER to prove that I should pick her. And if she doesn’t prove it, then its her loss.
Also, practice, practice, practice.
Unless you’ve approached 100 women in a month, don’t complain.
After I read the first few chapters of that book I set myself a challenge to approach 100 girls, I ended up approaching way more.
With each rejection, I got less and less scared. Eventually, I got the hang of what worked for me & I stopped feeling like a girl saying no was a big deal.
[–]Kevinserj 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sounds good I’ll look into. Also for me rejection doesn’t really matter it’s more of actually finding a girl to approach bc at the moment I don’t go out too much because of school and since I’m mostly at the gym. Whenever I see an opportunity, best believe I strike. But I really like the whole mindset thing and I will try to carry that with me not only in dating but I’m every aspect of my life 👍🏻

5”9 guy with a triple digit laycount here, it doesn’t really matter as much as you think. I’ve never found it to be an issue with girls if I’m being honest. There’s plenty of girls that won’t care or will prefer you.
[–]Kevinserj 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Good to know, thanks for the advice 👊🏻
[–]BrummieAMN19 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
No problem I’ve found that girls in my experience usually want a 3-6 inch difference tbh. Just work on your game and levelling up on other areas in your life my guy
Yup. Already doing all the good stuff like gym and working on my overall physical, mental, and financial health. We got this 💪🏼

Tell them you that you whish you were shorter to see them coconuts in different angles, you know what I mean xD. I say that all the time and they always burst out laughing. In all actuality, it's not that women hate shorter men, they just don't want them to feel insecure about their height. Happy coconut snipping fam :D
Bruh that’s hilarious 😂😂
[–]alpine_bl3 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I'm 5'4 (165cm), doesn't matter. To some it may do, never really got in my way. If it comes up, make a joke and show it doesn't bother you (you need to internalise this too).
Pretty much every girl I've been with has been taller than me. I even tell them it's fine to wear heels, I really don't care.
Stop caring about it, then it won't be an issue... trust me!

Thanks for the tips 👍🏻
[–]thelambofdeth 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Height is like big boobs on a woman...it's nice but it's just auxiliary. Looks, confidence, status, and many other components are more important. Especially in terms of a relationship. As long as you're taller than her it's fine. I say this as a guy that 6'3.
Fair enough. Me personally I could care less about her boobs or ass or all that bullshit. I don’t even like make up if I’m being honest but that’s just me. Obviously those things are nice but I wouldn’t look down on a woman or be like “no” just because she doesn’t have or use those things.

It would only be a really big problem if you make it so in head. My colleague is same height as you, but he is full of life and he banged some really hot chicks. Do what you can train, be healthy, have some other values. Lower height is better thing that some serious medical condition. Do with what you got brother. We are all humans, we are not meant to be perfect
Thank you brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Contrary to popular belief shorter guys get more pussy.https://www.jsm.jsexmed.org/article/S1743-6095(15)30861-4/fulltext30861-4/fulltext) . Its not your height you should change dude its your attitude.
And so I’ve been told, thank you
[–]verticalstars 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Wear shoes that have a bit of a heel/lift if it helps you feel better. I dont do this but women do this all the time. Wearing heels, makeup for face, pushups etc.
Eh, don’t care enough at this point to pull some stuff like that. I’ll just work on what I can and let my other aspects of life speak for themselves.
