I have cuz im short. Doesnt bother me a bit.
"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.
Poll: How many of you guys have dated a woman TALLER than you?
- Thread starter cloneofstenyhoyer
- Start date
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

i am 6'7" and i couldn't imagine dating a girl taller than me (yes, there are a few girls taller than 6'7"). being tall has its ups and downs. yeah, people respect you when you stand up (i am all legs), and females of all ages are always commenting on how "nice and tall" i am. kids ask for your autograph for no reason at all. adults ask you how many points you scored last night. i am a quite guy so it is a bit annoying to always be the center of attention.
negatives are plenty. i can't find jeans that look stylish or for that matter any clothes. that is why so many taller guys go around in tracksuits. i even have trouble taking a dump in some bathrooms. i visited belgrade last summer and that was cool because there were lots of tall guys like myself. the summer before i visited japan and felt like a rockstar. that was the oddest three weeks of my life. try riding public transportation in tokyo as a 6'7" man. i was a literal cripple in japan.

Well I think almost ALL the chicks in my school are shorter than me(I'm either 5'9 or 6 flat I think), so I haven't really had experience with taller babes before. I think the only time I've seen a chick that's taller than me is either if a really tall girl wears high heels or if the girls just super freaking tall.

I wouldn't turn away a guy that was "short" just because of his height. It's just that SOME of them have huge chips on their shoulder because of their height...thus, they do not appeal to me (as I've said before, there's nothing I hate more in a man that the victim mentality). I've been attracted to shorter guys in the past... When I say I have a "thing" for tall men, I mean that they catch my eye sometimes (but height means nothing if he has bad teeth or an awkward personality...lacks confidence, etc).wutangfinancial said:
I know several guys that are "short" and ooze charm...now if I were to meet guys with similar personalities, I'd possibly consider dating them if I were single.

I am not going to pretend to understand how you're feeling. The fact of the matter is, you cannot change your height - so why not just accept it and move on? How is it that some short guys can get past it and others can't? What do they have that you don't?wutangfinancial said:
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Purple Haze seems to be a smart gal
and I have a thing for smart girls.. Even though she won't tell me who she is!:moon:
I'm 5' 7" Now I'm going to say that is a "good" hieght for a man? or is that considered kinda short?.. I have always wondered, because many girls around here are taller than me.
I hate it when I see a girl and it's like "wooo" she is cute, then I go up next to her for a better look, and she's above me by about 2 or 3 inches... all of a sudden I feel like a little kid or something, especialy when her tower of a BF comes over...... It's like "hey mom and dad." errrr
i would say that a "good" height for a grown man, 20+, is at least 5'10'. because most guys i know are at least that, anything else is considered shorter.
actually i havn't seen that many very short guys before, or maybe its just i dont notice them.
its tough, just like being ugly, but you are what you are and you can't change it so you'll have to do the best you can/ obvioulsy you're not oging to be banging the hottest girls all the time, but you stilln eed to try.

"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.

You make yourself sound stupid at every opportunity. I think you fail with girls because your brain is underdeveloped. Too much Rock Band, not enough books.ElStud said:

wutang - I am just under 5'7" and I can still can laid. no virgin here. It may be a bit harder to do - but it is one attribute among many. Tom Cruise is shorter than Katie Holmes. I mean seriously - we need to do a survey - Its not like I never see guys my height or shorter without a girlfriend - I do all the time.

it's crap like wutang's that probably temporarily killed my game. now I keep thinking "damn I'm short" when I never thought about it before. I know two guys - both shorter than me (like 5'5") who are not movie stars and aren't rich and I remember they used to get babes. I have no reason to lie about that. How did they do it? I'd like to find out. But them being midgets didn't stop them. One has a child now and still gets other girls.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

She's everything I want in a GF, not just her looks either..... she is ......perfectslaog said:. she's just a girl!!
We were texting tonight and I mentioned her height a few times and she boasted that I must be delighted that she's so tall. Before in my AFC days I would have said something like "yes I do like tall women, it is nice" but today I said "I'd prefer 5'9 or 5'10 but you'll do!". lolslaog said:
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
