Is it possible for a short guy to be alpha?

Forget the rest, focus on mindset.

The correct mindset is this.

I know in the beginning they are talking about race, they get over to height in a bit, but if you really want this issue handled, watch the entire freaking thing.

I'm five three, bud.

I was never aware of it at the time, being clueless and moderately beta (though I think I gave off a good vibe of 'not giving a fuck' and had some alpha traits), but I was apparently pretty attractive to a fair few of the girls in high school. Kind of been in passive monk mode for a while (trying to figure out how I can start fresh in a college course that consists entirely of males, a brand new town an hour away from where I grew up/went to school and not being able to go out clubbing or anything due to my age).

So, while height may be something that most women do consider, I don't think it's all too game breaking.

FYI, I was told by friends and my twin brother, casually, without me bringing it up at all in any way, that 'all the girls liked me' a few times moderately recently. Had some jealous tones in that and, looking back, think it's reasonably true. Kicked myself after one buddy told me that some chick I was pining after (not openly) for ages was having wet dreams about me the whole time.

Forget about height. It's all about your behavior. You don't need to be tall to be alpha, as long as you have alpha like behavior then you are good to go.

Look at Cajun (look up Cajun, keys to the vip), he is your height. This is his view on it http://www.cajunsblog.com/posts/so-you-like-tall-women/

Essentially he treats height as a non issue. If you don't treat it as an issue then the girl doesn't even notice, even if she is the one to bring it up.

I used to work for a large corporate insurance company. We had like 500 people working at that location and guess what ? The CEO was a short guy probably around 5'5" as well. His height didn't matter. When he walked in the room he had a fantastic personality and was very charismatic. I'm 5'11" and this guy is still way more alpha than me (Though I'm catching up). Honestly you can't change your height so you might as well stop worrying about it and start living.

Woman are attracted to the manly aura. It's created not by one trait, but a combination of many. From these manifests a aura-like sum of parts, which is much more powerful than the parts individually.

Being tall is just a conspicuous mark of manliness, one that often occurs with other desirable traits. Similarly, shortness often accompanies a lack of confidence, and other traits undesirable to a woman. But women aren't analytical. They only know when they feel good or bad. Short men have a tendency not to arouse them. They don't spend time analyzing why, they unconsciously form an association with the most overt characteristic the man displays, draw a conclusion, and really don't put much thought into it. This is why women don't like short men. They tend to not be confident. Women assume all short men carry this unattractive aura.

Be the exception to the rule and you will seem that much more magical in your self assurance, akin to the dynamic between David and Goliath.

Watch David Spade or Kevin Hart; short as hell and don't give a fuck.

Bitru · 2015-03-24T04:18:12+00:00

Peter Dinklage. Fucking alpha.

Yes you can be alpha. It's harder though for sure.

From when I was a little kid I've always been made fun of or picked on because of my height. My dad always said it's not about how tall you are, he said walk like you are 7ft and people will start to believe it. Obviously literally that's not true but as I got older I realized height was just an excuse I made for myself. I'm 5 feet 2 inches and out of all my friends I put in the most effort to attract women. I workout and I'm always pushing myself to be social with other people. Yeah sure just like for me it's not gonna be as easy as some other guys have it but you know what? That's what builds character. It's not about which cards you were given it's about how you play them.

Change perspective man because all this is not helping you.

DaygameCoach · 2015-03-24T03:01:37+00:00

Yes, and tall guys can be beta.

Yes, I'm, short, fat, bald and both a leader and alpha. My tall friends can be alpha too--I'm not competing with them.

Confidence and positive self image are the pieces you seem to be missing. Self deprecating doesn't help you. Self limiting belief: If you think you are too short, you are!

Plus, part of a man's value to women is how he makes her feel...so work on your attraction game.

"Alpha" is a mentality, not a function of physical prowess.

Besides, height isn't inherently more physically advantageous.

Plasma_spazz · 2015-03-24T12:49:36+00:00

Dont ever let anything keep you from having a general sense of self-confidence. I have a friend who is 4'7 and gets mean tail

pri35t · 2015-03-24T13:44:34+00:00

Alpha isn't physical. It's Mental

craiggy · 2015-03-24T17:43:56+00:00

I saw a video a while ago about confidence. The guy basically said don't play the comparison game. You will lose EVERY SINGLE TIME. Just think about that one for a while.

This might be some perspective-breaking info here, but Style himself was only an inch taller than you.

Your height is not a detriment to you as long as you don't care about your height. Does that make sense? If at every instance where some other person might try to shit test you with your height and it does not break your frame, then it is irrelevant.

Looking through the comments I see that I'm saying more of the same (wow, seduction, way to go. Looks like this sub is improving a bit). Frame, man. It's your Frame.

bong-water · 2015-03-24T03:46:20+00:00

Fuck ya. I scare the piss out of people at my school and I'm 5'3". Just don't be a fake ass douche bag. Be assertive and don't ever let anyone talk shit on you, stick up for your friends and people in need. You gotta lead people too, make plans and shit.

Bodegaz · 2015-03-24T09:06:59+00:00

Has anyone mentioned Napoleon Bonaparte? I mean they named an ice cream after him.

drieszz · 2015-03-24T12:19:30+00:00

I'm also short, and I had the same thoughts as you last year or so. But you just have to embrace it. I'm the shortest of my friends, but being short makes you special, it makes you stand out. You just have to be fun and confident, maybe go to the gym, get fit, dress nicely. People will know you as the fun, good looking short guy. (Sorry for the bad English, I'm Belgian.)

manslutalt · 2015-03-24T15:50:08+00:00

How tall do you think Danny Trejo is?

isisishtar · 2015-03-24T16:42:41+00:00

Ask Wolverine of the X-Men about height.

Mo_Lester69 · 2015-03-24T01:58:57+00:00

Manlets, when will you ever learn?

aldo5408 · 2015-03-24T05:19:42+00:00

Too be honest it looks like you are just trying to compensate Aka napoleon syndrome.
