It is insane how much height will influence your dating as a man

[Askaladd]

Tall men get more play with less effort. Women online write very nasty things about short men all the time. If you are short all you can really do is keep pushing on and try despite the difficulties.

Some people try to pick up girls and get called assh0les
This never happened to Pablo Picasso

Well, he was only 5'3", but girls could not resist the stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an assh0le

No, there's no shortage of tall guys who are also f-c-in ugly, physically, personality wise, and sometimes both. Each of us "has issues" and thus has to exert effort in order to get our needs and desires met

That's a concept which has become all but forgotten over the last nearly 3 decades, when 24hr on-demand entertainment has created the illusion that all one need do is push a button on their keyboard or IPhone, in order to make what he wants appear

I've used OLD, with varying degrees of success. Most fellas don't recognize: You have to be just as diligent here as you do when approaching in RL

I'd agree that it is easier in many ways for a taller man. I can also say that I know several tall men (two are 6'3"). One of the 6'3" guys is in an "open" relationship with his "spouse" (He calls her that and she calls him that) where she is seeing other men. He's allowed to on their terms, but he's less than capable to exercise it. I've even heard from a past plate of mine how she tried to date this guy and complained about how awkward and 'unsexy' he was. I'm 5'10".

The other guy is also 6'3" and he is highly introverted. Not as clueless as the first, but he has a tendency to overthink, get ticked that he doesn't get the ladies and can get very emotional if he's had a 6 pack. To each their own.

I mean, even Warren Buffet has problems, man. If you want to hear something absolutely hilarious (AND TRUE), I also know a guy who is 4'6". You tend to meet an array of people when you take up motorcycles. hehe. He's been twice divorced w 3. lol Both of his ex wives actually proposed to HIM! And they weren't 'uggies.' He currently has a girlfriend and two plates. His life is a soap opera and he's always laughing and joking around. He's even lifted my spirits more than a time or two.

Height only matters when it does. And unless she's told you it does, it doesn't.

It's crazy how not giving a fvck about it and not using it as an excuse makes it mostly irrelevant.

I'm 5'8" and fvcked somewhere around 100 women or maybe slightly more.

Why? Because I've never once worried about this. It's out of my control, so why would I concern myself for a single second about it?

I have no idea when people became so mentally fragile that reading about "what everyone says" has them going into crisis mode...

I guess that's where the Low T epidemic along the young generation rears it's ugly head...no confidence, no mental fortitude and no "give two fvcks" mentality. Everything is a crisis. Everything is a dire situation. Give me a fvcking break.

Have women probably not gone on dates with me because of my height? Yeah, probably. Do I give a sh!t? No.

The vast majority of women will not care about your height once they actually meet you and if they like you. As long as you are as tall as they are, many will have no issues dating you. Hell, I've even dated several that we were taller than me.

If you don't make it an issue, most women won't either. Except in videos where they post about how they only date guys 6'0" or taller but yet still seem to have no issues going on dates and fvcking me. Amazing how that works.

Forgot to mention the skyscrapers I dated. lol I darn near FETISHIZED tall women for a while. Yeehee! Fun times.

 

[Bingo-Player]

The height thing got a bit sensationalised by social media and dating apps I think its starting to Cool off , never really bothered me that much and I'm about 5ft 10 on a good day I've still had a lot of fun with girls albeit probably not them "top tier" women you see on instagram.

I'd agree being 6ft plus gets you some extra wiggle room for errors and smiles / IOI's for sure

As a side note I do find it amusing a lot of the women demanding tall 6ft something blokes are constantly single

I'd imagine as an average woman to have these kind of demands is probably a really fast way to humble yourself as you simply cannot compete with the better looking women for these "in demand" men and theres just not enough of them to go around

 

[Mike32ct]

I don’t remember height even being talked about much up through the early 2000s. While women were still attracted to it, they didn’t talk about it much publicly. They’d see a tall guy and call him hot, but they wouldn’t let on that his height was the reason.

I would be puzzled back then because the “hot” dude would have often have a mid (normie) face lol.

Today, the cat is definitely out of the bag.

Had a female coworker tell me flat out “I like guys that are tall. It turns me on so much.” I was just there to pick up some files, but she started going off on a tangent and telling me about this tall guy she likes.

It could be worse, you could be in a wheelchair or missing a limb, and then the effort required would be even higher.

Look, people without money complain about those who have it, guys without facial hair complain about those who do, and people with no time complain about those who have plenty. As soon as you focus on what you can control and stop comparing yourself to others, you put yourself in a position to actually improve instead of staying behind.

 

[Divorced w 3]

I’m 6’4, I was always the tallest growing up unless there was some giant in the room. I was 6’ at 12 years old. I was also socially awkward. Sometimes I was really slick. In college I came into my own more (not always in a good way). I think my number before I got married was let’s say 20, I met her when I was 24 then I got divorced at 37. I hooked up with 4 women in the year after then I got in another monogamous relationship. It was only after I caught a bad bout of oneitis that divorced summer did I find this place which substantially helped my game.

In other words, due to height, great blue eyes and a nice face and athletic build, I’ve really just kind of stumbled onto getting laid almost in spite of myself. It does help a lot.

If this was true. I'd be incel-adjacent.

Female perspective:

Very tall can be extremely awkward too. I've seen it and experienced it. Gawky even especially if he lacks confidence and/or too skinny, doesn't work out or physically active.

It's not his height that's the turn on (per se) however it can definitely add to a woman's already high attraction to him.

but she started going off on a tangent and telling me about this tall guy she likes.

^^Lol yeah I've done that. However again I was already attracted to him (his masculine energy, confidence etc), and his tallness added to and yes was an incredible turn on!

certain women height will add to a woman’s high attraction. but there are also women who will go for a guy even if he’s average in the face if he’s 6’3 or above. I asked my fvckbuddy who is 5’7 if she would sleep with a guy who is good looking but 5’6 (she’s one of those who the guy has to be at least taller than her) Vs a guy who was ugly but 6’4. She choose the shorter guy. so it depends on the girls preference for height vs face

ideally ur both tall and good looking of course

I don't disagree, it's all very subjective. Different strokes.

For me and women I associate with, a man's masculine energy is what I respond to first. Again, it is subjective and in many cases cannot even be defined.

Of course his physical appearance is a big factor as well, and I prefer a man taller/bigger than me also.

Just saying that (for me and other women - not all), the attraction (beyond appearance) is there first and if he's tall and has a strong physical presence, it IS an amazing turn on.

I think height beats looks imho.

Tall guys have always had an edge, It was part of the phrase "Tall, dark, and handsome". But since OLD came around, it's become more obvious, because girls would put the 6' 0" limit on their filters. Tall guys can look more dominant, and they literally stand above the men around them.

I have a friend, 6' 5" or 6' 7", can't remember which, when we were young we'd go to bars and girls would pick him up. He was rarely without a ladyfriend.

 

[Dash Riprock]

This is a debate that's been raging on SS since I joined in 2005.

My take:

First, I've been with over 100 different women. Almost all have been HB7+. I've never subscribed to the "any port in a storm" philosophy, even back in college. All my girlfriends, both casual and serious, and hookups were smoking hot.

I'm 5'8. I do have a very good face card and look about 20 years younger. It's almost weird. I'm over 50 and have no wrinkles or age lines on my face. Not complaining, but it's bizarre. People are shocked when I tell them my age. I joke that I was bitten by a vampire back in my 30's and haven't aged since. I also walk/hike/run 10,000 steps a day and lift weights 3-4 times per week. I still have young girls checking me out and some overtly hit on me. Most are less than half my age.

I have never, to my knowledge, been dumped, dissed, or rejected due to my height (or lack thereof). Would a few more vertical inches help? Sure, but I don't stress about it because I can't control it and have been successful with women as-is. So I choose to focus on my body, mind, wealth, and personal development.

Everything I've read, seen by way of videos, and experienced in real life, say that most women would rather have a good-looking shorter guy than a geeky looking tall guy.

Height to a woman is kind of like a smaller, lean a*s on a woman who also has toned legs and overall nice body to me. It's my (strong) preference but I've bent the rules for some women that I really connected with and/or were strikingly beautiful. Maybe they could lose 10 pounds or had smaller t*ts, but if everything else was good, I pursued.

My experience is you can overcome being "shorter" by focusing on the other areas of your life -- that you can control, especially your body and fitness as that demonstrates the mindset you have and how you see yourself. Once I started pumping iron in the gym, going back to my 20's, my results with women skyrocketed. It's was huge. To this day, I'll be having a conversation with a woman and they quickly glance at my arms and then quickly back to my face. So that's my number one recommendation on where to start.

Good luck.
