I'm 5'9 and pretty comfortable with my height. Was wondering though if taller dudes are packin' more....well you know.
What say ye.....
What say ye.....
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I had a few classes with a midget guy in college. And no joke, this guy was the center of attention with all the chicks.Originally posted by Parsifal
I've seen a midget guy during a rock show and he had this really hot, tall girlfriend (no sh1t).
So I guess when it comes to this, size doesn't matter... Some women love tall guys, some love 'em small, some don't care at all.
You're using generalizations base on one example? I know many girls who are a little obsessed about height who have dated all men 6'+. Overall it's not a big problem, but some girls are shallow about height and will only date faily tall people. If they are, who cares let them choose to do as they wish. Their loss. That's the kind of mindset you should have about this....not wallow in being "too short".Originally posted by Parsifal

Women want guys who are taller than them usually.
Tall women are an easy lay-btw if you're tall.They don't have that much to choose from as most of us want smaller women.
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.
what the dude was saying is that woman sometimes prefer people who are actually taller than them which limits the possible number of guys that she would usually go for.Originally posted by Matt Rogers
I think that is rubbish. If a woman is hot, no matter what size she is men will give her attention. Besides very few women are over 6 foot and there are lots of guys over 6 foot who aren't bothered by their height as they are taller than them. Personally all the girls i go for tend to be at least 5"10 and if anything i get more success with smaller girls.
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.
