Yet, I'm not bald, I'm not fat, and I have (IMO) a good smile. Cap that with my talents and my personality, and I'm now a married man. Go figure!

I still think you drugged her. :disgust:

I am only 5'6" (altho competed in Bodybuilding and am over 200lbs) and altho I would have liked to be 6 feet or so, it isn't that big of a deal. My wife is 5'8" btw and it doesn't seem to bother her too much. I guess being on the thicker side helps as opposed to scrawny, altho now my midesction is just a little too thick . If the height thing bothers you that much, hit the Gym HARD! Most women wont care if you are 5'5" 190lbs with 6 PACK, trust me!

I'm 5'7, and know what you're talking about. The key is to compensate for it in other ways (personality, sense of humor, physical fitness, looks, etc.) Yes, there are women who would only date taller guys, but there are plenty who don't care so much either.

All you guys that say your short friends have no trouble getting girls...where are they meeting them? If at bars and/or clubs i'm sure the women have been drinking...

Short guys just can't compete. If a woman has nothing else to choose from, then we are good enough.

im 5'7" and ive never had any problems. i think it's all in how you carry yourself.

Heck, had I been your height, I'd not have any problems either. The whole big freaking deal is in those 2 inches, that's a lot actually.

My old man is 5'4". found 2 woman at the least who married him so far (not at the same time of course). Get this one, he is gonna be 60 in Feb ad his wife is 45. Was in his 40's and she in her 20's when they 1st started dating. Shorter (well probably same height and older. No he isn't a billionaire either!

I'm 6'5" and my wife his 5'7". That's 10 inches difference! At least for you, she won't get a sore neck trying to kiss you!

Don't care too much about your height, be confident and enjoy your life.

Funny my dad also was 5'4" & had childrens with 2 different women. I'm not a tall guy either at 5'11" & is going on 36, and am dating a 5'0" tall 24 year old nurse.

Personally I don't think size matter....it is how you use it

Just wear a T-shirt that says "Well Hung" and maybe that will boost you some action

Seems to me many short men suffer from a Napoleanic Complex. Maybe because you don't you are seen as small and timid.

There's nothing wrong w/ you, you're just shorter than the average person. If some girls aren't interested in you, well then that's their problem. Would you want to go out with them anyways since they discriminate based on your height? Fvck em. There's plenty more nice girls in the world, just have some self-esteem and don't worry about it.

What I've said probably has been said in the thread somewhere, I only read through about a page of replies, sorry.

its obvious you have zip, zero, zilch self confidence. You are a loser because you proclaim yourself as one. You arent looked at as less than a man because of your height, its your self-esteem. You dont see yourself as a man, so why should others?

I know this sounds harsh but I am serious. I've seen 6'4 doormates and I've seen 5' ones, they all have the same thing in common, and guess what? its not height! The superficial women will base their decision on a husband/boyfriend on looks/height, etc. The ones that are worth being married to look at much more than that (personality, etc).

put some heels on and you'll be fine

Yeah I second that man (hitting the gym hard). I'm only 5-6 but 190 and stacked (at one point I was benching double my weight - 340). I don't even have a six pack lol, but yes my g/f is also 5-8 and we're planning an engagement... The only limits you place on yourself are the ones that come from within...

 

[Feanor727]

man, count your blessings. I'd rather be short than bald...

 

[Siddhartha]

I used to be short and worried about it. Now I do not worry about it.

It's not a height thing.

The thing is, women can sense your confidence. The fact that your saying this is proof of your self esteem...women don't want to date a whiner, they don't really want to date an ultra manly man, they mostly want someone who's relatively happy with themselves.

If you have low esteem, it ain't gonna happen. You need to focus on things that make you worthwhile rather than something you really can't help.

I'm overweight, my esteem is pretty low...even when I was slim and buffed I never really got any attention...it wasn't because I was unnatractive, it was because I had low self esteem...that, and I'm just too shy.

Girls aren't like guys when it comes to attraction. Confidence and a sense of self-worth go a LONG way.
