"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

At a desired height difference of 10", a 5'5" man would have to pursue a 4'7" woman

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Average female height ranges from 5'6-5'7, thus a man of similar stature can easily accentuate his height via footwear and the like, so as to be significantly taller than MOST women on this planet

Really though, @MatureDJ , when even Peter Dinklage has been able to snag a non-dwarf, I'm baffled as to what you're fixation on this subject is

I've dated plenty of women the same height or an inch or two shorter than me.

Focus on other things you are lacking. It's not height trust me. That's just the excuse you keep hanging your hat on.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

A lot of guys say that to get around women's height bias, you just date shorter women.
I've always thought the woman's height is irrelevant. No matter how short they are, they still want that six foot guy.
Because they want the guy who stands out among other men.
It's not about their own height, it's hypergamy. There's nothing special about dominating a woman physically.
They want the big guy who can protect them from other men.

Forgive my impertinence, nonetheless I believe the following analogy can benefit many fellas, yourself included:

Dinklage did what was required to gain what many describe as "high status", DESPITE his possible disadvantages, same way gents like Michael Liebowitz here
spend their 25 years+ in state pen educating themselves both formally and informally, rather than passing the time as most convicted felons do: Snorting dope, playing dice, watching sh-t tons of TV, and fantasizing about how much better things would've turned out, if they'd been born into different environments

The conscious decisions Dinklage made are what allowed him to "mog" other men, surely as the choices Liebowitz made led to him becoming a published author and celebrity commentator, while he was STILL locked up

So, are you going to go to work on yourself ala. Liebowitz, or are you going to be the dating and mating equivalent of a convicted felon who laments his circumstances, as opposed to finally investing in himself/altering the thoughts and behaviors which are sabotaging his prospects for securing The Good Life?

100%. its not about the height of the woman vs you, its you vs other men around you that she can see. and it does make a difference. the workaround is if and when the taller men give you respect and defer to you.

I have worked on myself by becoming a very astute and successful equity investor - and the financial gains have allowed me to consider spinning WealthGame, although that obviously is fraught with traps.
