Being 5'6 and fed up with the BS I was seeing on page 1 of this thread, I am compelled to set the record straight.
I saw short guys on this thread thinking that they need to make tall guys "look like jerks." I saw tall guys who believe that being tall is "almost a requirement." I saw guys who honestly believe that their "intelligence" matters to a woman.....
ATTRACTION IS NOT A CHOICE. Attraction is what you do to a woman's mind and body. Being tall is a social PREFERENCE, because it makes the woman feel secure and protected. Note that the woman WON'T feel secure and protected around a tall guy who's very scrawny. As short guys, all we have to do is give women those same FEELINGS of security. How? Pass sh!t tests and don't get insecure if she tests you about your height. Demonstrate strong leadership. Tell stories of how you protected people close to you or how you outshined your counterparts in some competition. Stay in your own strong reality. You are NEVER too short for a woman; however, she may be TOO FREAKISHLY TALL FOR YOU! SHE has to meet YOUR standards, NOT the other way around.
Dudes, I used to feel insecure about my height, but I know it doesn't matter. I had a 5'10 GF for over a year. At first, sure she gave me sh!t about my height. But I macked other girls in front of her and flipped the script and teased her about having big feet for a girl and being clumsy.
Ultimately her attraction to me was too strong to consider the height factor. She was in my reality, and in my reality, height didn't matter.
I hope you guys got something out of this. For god's sake don't do anything that makes you look like a TRY HARD (trying to look like arnold schwarzenegger or being an @$$hole to tall guys, etc.). Just have a stronger reality than anyone you meet, accentuate your other physical characteristics as best you can, and remember that attraction's not a choice.
