How much do muscles compensate for lack of height?

[Anonymous]

Let's say a guy is 5'5 but he is well-build like a fitness model and has a 6-pack.

Does it fully compensate? Partially? Not at all?

Many people insecure about different things. Not only through muscle. Short guys tend to do that. I did saw severals try to hard to impress they are not humble at all. That's their biggest mistakes.
Some people shop in branded store and act like assholes to the salesperson. I think this is a very big turn off. I worked in restaurants and retails before so I think everybody should be polite to the frontlines staff.
Not only short guy do this u know. Some people onfortunately attractive and their behavior are totally unacceptable.
They think money make them able to do anything

It helps, but i think they would date you with that height, if you were not muscular and had a average body.

My husband is 5'6 and works out lol not to that extent but I like it lol

it doesn't much. There are enough girls out there who don't care about height to want to compensate though. Short guys aren't as disadvantaged as the internet would suggest. Why would you want o date someone superficial like that in the first place. Get someone who's priorities transcend how you two look in pictures or walking hand in hand and are more centered to if you are compatible for the long term

I'm 5'6 and have a completely average build, maybe on the slim side a little, although i'm happy with it.
Ultimately, in a relationship it doesn't affect your chances much, there are plenty of girls that are in the height range of 4'9 to 4'4 which would prefer someone closer to their height opposed to someone who is a full foot taller.

They don't.

If you're under six feet, you're f*cked, no matter what.

I would say a regular gym goer has maybe an 2 inches added to him in his attractiveness. That might not sound like a lot, but could be an extra 4 or 5 girls per 100 that would consider him. Whilst 5’6 is considered a write-off height for guys, working out could get a few ugly girls to stop and think of how much easier life would be if they overlooked his height.

Relatively, short fit guys get more puss than non-fit short guys, all else equal. But it won't turn girls who want a taller guy.

[Asker]

I notice you say "taller". What do you mean by this? Taller than her or just tall (like 6'0 and up)?

[CreativeName123]

Taller than her. Id say 8 inches above their own height. Dont sweat it though, many girls who dont care or are uneasy with very tall partners.

not to sound like a douche, just pure interest.
These guys, for example, are fitness models:
William Ulisses Jr
Greg Plitt
Lazar Angelov
Jeff Seid
is taht how you look? if it is, that's insane.

It doesnt, I know really bulky guys who are huge and all muscle, but end up being 5'4. They are still short, just strong.

[Savoir6831]

Of course they are still short. The question is asking if the muscles make them attract more girls in the way tall guys do, not if they are literally taller!

[rgb008]

No. I'm my opinion, short muscular guys are less attractive than tall muscular guys.
Plus, personally I'm taller than you and I prefer taller men.

[Savoir6831]

This evades the questions. There is no doubt tell muscular guys are more attractive than short muscular guys. The question is effectively asking …are thin tall guys are more attractive than short muscular guys? Because you evaded that question, I am wondering maybe you think it’s a close call between short muscular guys and tall thin guys.

[Anonymous]

It makes no difference whatsoever. Most women don't care about height, either. Those insecurities are a male thing.

[GoldCobra]

Being taller is waaaay more important

[Savoir6831]

So a thin 5’10 guy and a muscular 5’8 guy… you saying the thin 5’10 guy wins hands down, all other factors being equal
