Do tall guys have it easier?

I think a lot of girls might have an inclination towards tall guys. But that shouldn't matter, just go and be a boss.

As a tall guy 6' 7", yes...we do have it easier when it comes to some things. There are also some problems with being tall. You are expected to be a gentle giant and you automatically gain the animosity of aggressive shorter guys. The BEST thing for a shorter guy is not to get platform shoes but to have a tall wingman. Believe me, it works wonders for my friends.

i already have. i am also of average height. about 5 years ago i bought some nice dress shoes (BCBC Maxima) and i went to a shoe repair guy and asked him to make them taller. he was about to add 3 inches to the height (they are already 1.5" inches tall) and i was taller but the shoes did not look like platform shoes. the guy did such a fucking amazing job one can not tell the shoes make me taller but of course they do. i suggest do it it has helped my game.

Yes, being tall makes it a little easier but way more important than short/tall is confident/unconfident & assertive masculinity/passive submission.

I'm 6'4" and it wasn't until recently that I overcame my AFC past. A confident short guy will have much better success than an unconfident tall guy.

The most important thing to remember is that it's not your height that girls find unattractive, it's the fact that you are subconscious about your height that they find unattractive.

Love yourself and be comfortable in your skin because if you are subconscious about your height, it will come across in your body language and girls will pick up like that instantly. Inner game!!

It doesn't "beg the question," it "raises the question."

If you are normal height and you think you need to wear platform shoes, you are building up, rather than destroying your self-limiting beliefs.

Short guy here: Just think about one thing: of all the married couples you know, your parents and grandparents, friends parents, everyone, in how many is the wife taller than the husband? I can't think of any.

I always claim that women are more shallow than men, and this fact is always what I cite. Being short is a deal breaker for a large majority of women and most women will find tall guys more attractive than short ones no matter what. Short guys can still get girls, its just a lot harder. Any other physical shortcoming is easier to overcome than this one.

Of course they do, if you live in a younger/college neighborhood and look out your window you'll see tall guys walking with girls and short guys walking alone. That's just life.

But that also forces the short guys to adapt and invent their way through life; if you go to a rich neighborhood you'll see a whole lot of short guys with good looking wives.

I'm 6ft 10. No, they don't.

Do tall people have it easier? Yes.

Height has been correlated with professional success and attraction. Not sure if the relationship is causal, but that seems to be the implication.

However, I don't see this as a worthy topic of discussion. Seddit is about becoming better men and better seducers. Height is not something you can improve on to an appreciable degree and it has almost nothing to do with becoming better socially. Wearing platform shoes is just hiding your own insecurities.

ChemicalRain · 2011-07-03T22:03:53+00:00

I'm 6'4 and I don't have any unusual amount of attention from the ladies.

no_dating · 2011-07-04T04:31:21+00:00

Yes and no. As any guy, you have existing chances with anyone up to and including your height; as a tall guy, this subset of the human population is much larger.

As a short guy, you have trouble developing a presence other than pipsqueak oompa-loompa minime. As a tall guy, I have to make sure I'm not too intimidating; that my presence is that of a powerful ally, not a menacing tower of doom.

tl;dr: just a different set of challenges

pimpbot · 2011-07-05T16:06:26+00:00

Fuck yes they do - the bastards!

Do tall guys have it easier?

No. The short girls give you an awful crick in your neck. Usually it's better to just pass them by. Try finding a tall woman.

plankter · 2011-07-03T18:34:34+00:00

If you are searching for excuses to fail, then sure. Blame it on physical stature instead of making yourself giant.

l3fth4nd · 2011-07-03T20:42:59+00:00

I think whatever subconscious gain you might get will be outweighed with "Where did this dude learn how to dress?" That and it'd also be construed as you being insecure about your height even if you aren't. I think you're better served finding arbitrary reasons why having your height is an advantage or considering it absolutely irrelevant. Own it.

huxley2112 · 2011-07-04T00:42:35+00:00

Simply put, yes. Women are generally more attracted to men that are taller than them, so being taller creates a larger playing field. Does it mean that a tall guy is going to pull in more tail just because he is tall? No, it just means he has more opportunities to.

assholebiker · 2011-07-04T00:59:24+00:00

I have a friend who is like 6'5" and is just as insecure about being tall and getting women. He thinks the short guys have it easier. Most studies show a preference in women for guys that are a bit taller than them, but you'll do better for yourself if you throw that out. I'm 5'3" and a lot of girls are surprised to hear that. They assume from my personality that I must be taller. That should speak volumes to how much much really matters.

EDIT: You can wear platforms, but in terms of Inner Game, you won't really last if you feel ashamed of being short. Patrick Stewart's interview on his baldness and not being able to get women is a fantastic demonstration of mind over matter with regard to perceived physical defects.

lnava · 2011-07-04T01:39:06+00:00

Tall men definitely have it easier. I am 6'2'' honestly, which means that I could go around and tell people that I am 6'4'' but I don't. Height is the best natural advantage. It makes you a better athlete, and therefore a better fighter. You stand out in a crowd. Statistically you have a bigger wang. I don't like being treated differently because of who I am, so its kind of a turn off when I feel pe.

I was about to delete that shit, but here it is anyways - cause I think it says something yall wanna hear.

urfaselol · 2011-07-04T02:31:57+00:00

Absolutely.

RightWinger · 2011-07-04T11:08:23+00:00

I know a short guy, about 5' 6" or so, and he gets more girls than some of the jocks in his fraternity.

gpua · 2011-07-04T16:05:14+00:00

Yes, tall guys have it easier, but it doesn't matter. Height doesn't make a difference compared to factors like confidence and social skills.

I don't think platform shoes would help; most of the benefits of being tall come from being tall all your life.

theubernoob · 2011-07-04T22:45:36+00:00

I dunno. I personally believe it's easier. I don't go out of my way to spit game or anything and I seem to pick up girls just fine.
