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

[BaronOfHair]

Being tall definitely helps but theres a lot more to it. I'm 6'3" and when I was socially awkward around women, not in great shape, dressed terribly, etc I had absolutely zero success with women

Yeah, relatively few

Think about this. Women are always looking for ways to emasculate you, test you, knock you off your frame, etc.

It's in their nature to see if you're of that certain breed. If you are already insecure about yourself, you already lost the frame! The man who owns himself and isn't phased by such things is the man who she feels is rare and has legit backbone.

We all know men who are bald, short, fat, etc. who have masculine sex appeal and they get women. An imperfect man has the potential to have the strongest of backbones because he has lived a life where he has had his ego bruised.

My boy asks me for help with OLD and he said to me "what if they ask about my height" (he's 5 ft 8) I said if it comes up say "god blessed me with inches where it matters"... this is an example of owning yourself and flipping it so that you appear confident.

However once those issues were addressed it turned around for me and, while I'm sure being tall helped, it was all the other controllable things that ultimately got me into a good place with women.

I had a 6’3” friend who was socially awkward, facially unattractive and poorly dressed. He explicitly told me no girl had ever cared that he was tall in his entire life.

It baffles me why so many of y'all discount a man's masculine energy and presence and instead insist that it's his face and/or height that attract women..

It does not take a man being 6'+ or having model good looks to have strong masculine energy and a dominant presence.

What is necessary is that he be attractive to her which entails lots of things combined to make the whole and complete man.

Not saying there aren't those women who go strictly on looks (status/money) and perhaps these are the only women you're meeting or you're tone deaf as to what truly attracts high-value attractive women who aren't shallow gold-digging hoes?

The argument gets old tbh and might explain the disconnect and why some of you guys struggle?

Women are multi-dimensional; different things attract different women and often times it's just a "feeling" governed by her emotions.

Some of you keep wanting to turn women into men --> women chase, women lead (see @Smartone84 thread) a woman's attraction is the same as a man's (visually-oriented) etc

It's not the same. Not for all or even most IME.

Apologies for the semi-rant but it's something I've been thinking about and wanting to say... so just sayin it.

Carry on.

I think women can basically see through every dimension of men. Like their senses are high tech X-ray machines - women can look at guys or hear his voice and they can see a lot about him instantly, and the details are jarring

Women can tell a lot about a guy’s sexual life, they can see it better than the guy can see it in himself. They can quickly eyeball a guy’s inner balance, his sexual balance, they can examine his sexual honesty, wastefulness, or isolation, and probably sorta read a guys aura, or read the properties of his energy, all in an instant.

so women have a sorta Godly ability to examine men and size them up.

That must be why so many of them tell me I'm fascinating or that they can't figure me out?

It's probably also a reason why we've got so many single mothers. Female 'intuition' never fails? Cmon' man.

 

[BadBoy89]

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.

In my area it was always a big deal. I probably figured it out at 10 years old.

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.

I would have said "I like girls you are young. It turns me on so much."

 

[SerDuncanTheShort]

I mean I'm a don juan who's barely beginning his journey and learning the ropes but i have sort of dated two decently attractive women who were both 5'6 and initiated sexually with me vs me who is 5'4.

And that's with my suck a*s game - unoptimized looks and only using emotional intelligence. All of which i am working on now.

I dunno man, what can you do but play your strengths? I prefer women who are taller than me atleast 5'6 and taller, i like how they look in clothes. You go after what you want and take your shots. That's all any of us can do.

 

[BackInTheGame78]

The lack of confidence people have about their height is usually a far bigger problem than height itself.

One of the greatest pickup dudes I've ever been around was Italian and 5'6" tall, and had women falling all over him. He was good looking but nothing crazy. It was the way he carried himself and the sureness and confidence by which he spoke to them, as if he already knew the outcome before it was going to happen.

Most of the women he dated were taller than him and all of them were hot.

If people spent more time worrying about and focused on all the things within their control rather than things outside of their control, like their height, they would probably find a lot more success.

The girl who hit on me last week
Was an inch taller than me. And I'm 5'6 or so. Height matters, but not that much.

 

[Velasco]

good to see this thread revived. it reminded me i was going to share this here but forgot.

this guy was made fun of when his headshot came out. saying how there’s no way a guy that looks like this would be preyed after by a girl that looks like here.

but then a week later there was a photo that came out showing his height and all of a sudden opinions on the dude changed. Even so far as saying maybe it did happen

 

[characternote]

"snuck onto the planet" is crazy haha. It's a bad pic of him to be fair. Looks way better in the other one

 

[MatureDJ]

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.

It's OVER for ShortCels.

Wow, he is St. BlackOps2Cel tier.

I'd choose face over height any day. However. Good height is way more common than a good face.

 

[The Duke]

I think height beats looks imho.

I've seen it play out that way many times. Walk into a bar with a group of friends and see what women's eyes are drawn to. It will be the tallest guy they see first and check out.

I'm short but GL. I always beat the taller dudes I'm with.

But if you wear a plastic d1ck on your nose, you get noticed first. Regardless of height.

that puts the 'c0ck' in 'peacocking'!

 

[justaroundthecorner]

I am around 5' 8 1/2 and a lot of women I found attractive that I met in life were at least my own height - they were almost always not interested in me due to lack of height difference - I also had one GF taller than me and slept with one smoking hot chick my own height but other than that, lack of height difference often negates your advantages suvh as good job, education, good style, good looking face etc.

I doubt 6'0 requirement was so prevalent and valid for pre-social media women but perhaps social media simply underlined women expectations about height and some women want something because other women want it and have it as well therefore snowballed amount of expectations about height, chad features etc.

If your height is below 6'0, you do not put height in dating profile. If you get some cues or have a hunch that female you matched with is tall or likes tall guys, its better to ask her about height preferences before the meeting - for some women no amount of game will change this preference and (what isnfunny) often smallest chicks have preference for almost 2 meter guys (as if their biological clock screamed to them its finally time to get their lineage some serious height boost ).
