"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Same with skinny girls, they always think they're fat, but the fat girls have other things to worry about. You can learn a lot from eatgel. Dont worry your mind with bullsh1t like this. thats all i can tell you.

I think this applies most clearly to online personals... women who say "only message me if you're 6' or taller" filter responses ruthlessly from men who are 5'11" or shorter.
That's why having game is so important - most women waive a surprising number of "requirements" when someone that attracts them is right in front of them.

About 1/3 of the time, I am measured at 5'8". The other 2/3s, 5'7".

Yes, it sucks. Bugs me too, though maybe not as bad as it does the OP.

Hey wutang,

can you describe how you managed to rid yourself of this obsession? Was it something that just gradually happened of its own accord, or did you take specific steps to deal with it?

be grateful to get some advice from a guy who was once in my shoes, so to speak.

I'm 5'7 and rarely ever think about it. Every girl I've ever dated has always been like 5'6 so as long as she isn't wearing heels never thought to much about it.

I guess my prom pics looked funny back in the day, but I could care less...
 

"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.

There's no way that 5'9 is average height in the US. I've heard that before and it always makes me wonder where the hell these people are getting their statistics from. I'm 5'11 and I think I'm below average height.
they count mexicans and asians into the statistics. not to be racist to you guys, i love mexicans and asians (and t heyre food) tod eath. but most of them are short. i think thats a fact. dude, 5'9" aint bad at all, shouldnt stop you from doing what you wanna do in life. man up.
