This post/comment has been removed because it violates Rule #5: The topic is too broad, has been covered a lot already, or involves the assumption overly limited by race, age, physical limitations/appearance, and/or other inborn external qualities.

Put in some reading & work before asking questions that have been addressed, like: * How do I approach? * How do I get a number? * How do I talk to girls at college? * How/When do I kiss a girl? * Does this really work?

As for the last one, it is an answered question. There have been many posts on physical limitations over the years, including this one. No need to re-ask it.

Eh. I’m 5’6” and was swimming in pussy before I was married. Personally and confidence beats height.

Bro you just need to let it go, stop thinking about it, you gotta play with the cards you've been dealt with, you can look at someone else's cards. Go approach women, you get rejected by 1 fine, approach the 2nd, practice makes a man perfect, take it as a sport. No matter what the most attractive thing in a man is his confidence.

Own it. My hair disappeared in my early 20s. I shaved it and people say I suit that style. So Own it and become comfortable in who you are. That or be miserable for a long time.

In your post it’s says that you yourself reject the way you look. You don’t mention a women rejecting you because of your height. You don’t mention that others call you a manlet. It’s yourself that’s thinking negatively and letting something out of your control get to you. Own it and be confident.

Think about all the benefits of being short. Like needing less calories, having a lower risk of cancer, being quicker to avoid danger, and of course having learned to rely on personality and charm to get ahead in dating and in life.

Also look at other short men who inspire you and make them your idols. I'm deeply inspired by people like Mighty Mouse and Kevin Hart. They have an extreme confidence about them. I'm not even that short and they still inspire me a ton.

Move to Bolivia, where you'll be average or tall

You don’t. You just own it.

Don’t wear baggy clothes. Dress well. Be confident. Be cool. And you will get tons of p

I start to feel like this when I go through a dry spell even though I've had success in the past. You just have to get over it and kill the thoughts that your height has anything to do with what people think of you.

Dude, this is called body dysmorphia. The medical community understands it very well and has a ton of research of how to help people suffering from it. The process does not include validation from others. This is a medical issue, talk to a medical professional.

My cousin is 5 foot 3 maybeee 5 ‘4 and he has a body count in 30s it’s allll about personality.

Literally just pretend it doesn’t matter. If you pretend for long enough, eventually you’ll realise it actually doesn’t

Grow up?

Seriously I don't think height matters except for internet girls

ThatDarnSmell · 2025-09-08T08:28:39+00:00

Don't worry about it. I'm 5'11" barefoot and have been rejected over height when I used online dating because I was honest and didn't list 6 foot and ran into some shallow divas. I've also been rejected where women I've pursued went for a guy shorter than me. It's no big deal. Do your own thing and quit worrying about variables outside of your control.

S3nat3 · 2025-09-08T08:43:37+00:00

I'm 5'5" and the last two ladies I hooked up with were over 6ft. Your height means nothing. If the women reject you because of your height, why would you want to be with someone so fucking shallow?

Look at Pill Heitlinger, he's 5'5 when he wears special shoes that add 2–3 cm. There are always girls shorter than you. You just need to be mindful of the kind of approach you use, because you can't rely on the same direct, bold, confident openers that tall, handsome guys use. You need to put in more effort to get the same results as a tall, handsome guy, that's all.
