Something interesting I saw recently, so bare with my nerdy ass. ^^'
I love watching anime. Not all, most of it is crap frankly, but I pick my programme very well. =p
The anime I am watching right now is called "Attack on Titan" (Shingeki no Kyojin) and in that anime there is a character named Levi (Rivaille).
This character has a really cool and a quirky personality. He is also quite badass. In the anime, he is a soldier (all the main characters are actually).
I highly recommend it, but this is off the point.=)
The point is that this character is very short. Very, very short. And I know he is animated, but when it comes to 99% of the fandom, he may as well be real. Girl have gone insane over this character. 80% of fanart related to this anime are just pictures of him, which is really odd, I would know, trust me. This relationship with a short guy has become a real fantasy to all these girls watching, the fandom has already gone off the deep end and is starting to turn creepy, yet the anime just began. xD (This usually takes a bit more time)
So why did this guy suddenly get all the attention out of all the other awesome characters that are presented as tall, powerful and strong men?
Because his personality is hot. He is badass, a leader, calm, kind, honorable, unapologetic, direct.. A bacteriophobe. ^^ His personality does not reflect his height in any way.
And I am sorry, but in real life, no matter how much short guys think they are being confident, it's not the sole factor.
To make a woman feel like she is with a man, she has to consider him superior to her. And this can be expressed in so many other ways other than being taller. But because short guys focus so much on being "confident", meaning to cover up their insecurity about their height, they forget to implement all the other triggers that could make them attractive to a girl into the interaction and into themselves. It's not about being confident, it's about being attractive.
Confidence is not a practiced display that triggers attraction. It is a consequence of a characteristic that has already attracted and that can attract women.
You need to figure out more what attracts girls and how you can do it. If anything, go watch anime. xD
How tall are you?Anyway,get over it.There's nothing you can do about it.I have a friend who is dating a guy who is 5'5" or 5'6".She is also of the same height and it is not an issue.Just find someone who is your height or someone who will accept who you are...that's it.Sorry,but quit whining!Its really not that bad.Some people have limbs amputated and actual deformities.Think about that sh*t for a second.Some people don't have arms so they will never be able to do the very simple things in life we take for granted.Are you healthy?Do you have a decent place to live?Food to eat?So why on earth are you complaining about something so mundane.In the whole scheme of life,it is quite unimportant.Everyone wishes they were more this,or more that.I wish my feet weren't so big (size 11) and that my hair would grow faster,and that I didn't have stretch marks,and that I would have better skin.But you know what?It is,what it is.My health is great,I have friends,I am in my right frame of mind...who cares about the other trivial stuff.DEAL WITH IT.There are people out there wishing they would not be in a wheelchair for the rest of their life.There are people with terminal illnesses who WISH for a second chance at life...another opportunity.So think about these things when you decide you want to complain.
How tall are you? If you're like 5"5' than that's all compared to me. I'm only 5"0' and I've met guys who are full grown and still short but live a good life. Look at Kevin Hart, that dude is SHORT yet he's a famous comedian. Chances are that you will not become Kevin Hart but there's nothing saying that guys who are short can't live happy lives.
To handle your insecurities: find something about yourself that you like. Your eyes, hair, voice, it could honestly be anything and play up that aspect and your confidence should go up. Just rock what you have and be happy with it. We were all once insecure but we get over it and become comfortable in our own skin. It just takes some people more time than others.
If it's women that you want man it's simple. Become the strongest version if your self. Become rich, have nice clothes, get the car, become famous for something. Do those things and all the women will flock to you. Granted these woman night not be women you'd want to marry but hey what man wants to get married these days anyway? Call it materialistic and irrational but that's the truth. Money + Power = Woman and Sex
Simple no matter what your height is. Look at Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr, hell even Danny Devito. Dude is short as hell but hey money talks. And women love money, who doesn't though. Any way good luck man. By the way I'm 5'8" lord knows I ain't ever gonna go after a giraffe.
Well brother, I wish there were an easy answer. Unfortunately the truth is a majority of women will friend zone you. And don't let it make you an asshole. It's difficult, trust me I know. I'm 5'2 and I deal with it every day.
Just be you, meditate and do the things you enjoy doing. Instead of using your energy to try and get women, use your energy to pursue your goals and dreams.
In Tall vs. short, tall will always win.
HOWEVER...
In Confidence in Accomplishment and Swag, accomplishment always wins. There are women that will appreciate you for who you are and what you've done with your life. Let the others stay in the shallow end of the pool.

u No guys ever wanted to date me because I'm 6'1", skinny, I don't look like a model and I am much taller than the average male. So I accepted that and then found someone who likes that I am tall. Short guys don't want tall women and all the tall women find most of the time is short guys. It's a vicious cycle.
However, I think that shorter and skinnier guys are generally less egotistical and full of themselves than very tall muscular guys. They have more personality, I think, and although vertically challenged, short guys have made up for that in other ways. I've also noticed that there aren't too many women under 5'5" who only want super tall guys who are over 6 feet. In that case, I don't think you are out of luck.
I won't lie -- girls like tall guys. That being said, there's this guy that I work with who can't be more than 5'5'. Yet, he goes to the gym religiously and has gotten so muscular that it makes you completely forget about his height and just be like wow, he's reallllly ripped. There are ways.
You need to target the short girls, not the average ones. My manager at work is 4'10 and her husband is 5'6. He towers over her. If you saw them together from a distance you'd think they were like a 5'8 girl and a 6'5 boy. But nope. They're a short little family. :) So target the shorties and you'll be good.
Most of the girls I meet I the christian fellowship tell me that they want a guy that's less than perfect because they think those types of guys are easier to keep. Very few girls go for the hottest guy they can possibly find - most want somebody that will not cheat on them or leave them for something better.
LOL!
I'm 5'3 and let me tell you something I much prefer shorter guys than taller ones..
I guess I stick with my own kind, they are also easier to reach.
Just DON'T appear so insecure about it, confidence is always a plus. And at the end of the day, heights don't mean sh*t.
you shouldn't feel bad. you are average in the world. I feel quite comfortable with a man of your stature and shorter. I am not attracted to height. it doesn't make a difference to me. I have never dated a boy over 5'10 and I'm not looking for taller.
My ex was 5'5 I think, I loved him so much I was so attracted to him. I'm short (5'2) too but I can like guys of all heights. He did seem to find the need to workout a lot/take steroids/fight to compensate. The only part of him I didn't like haha
I have never cared about height myself, I am short also and couldn't speak for those taller than me because even most of my friends are, and some of the taller 5ft4 girl I know have dated guys shorter than them.
I knew this hot, short guy from my math class. He was a quiet one, tried talking to him a few times. But then I eventually just stopped.
A lot of short women prefer short guys, from what I know... The good news is that tons of women are under 5'6 -- especially if you're away from a population that was heavily settled by historically taller ethnicities.
wow, I feel like you've just explained how I feel. I'm pretty short as a girl and I feel what you feel
You can't fix your height, but you can work out and get a muscular body. That will help.
I'm only 180 cm and have given up ever thinking I'll ever find a compatible woman fine with my height handicap. Oh well.
I don't think the majority of women care about height that much. I think some may feel uncomfortable with someone who is drastically shorter than them.
My mom is actually 3 inches taller than my dad, it didn't stop them, haha!
i've known many shorter guys who are so confident that they're even sexier than tall but less confident guys.
I'm 5'8 do not as tall as a lot of guys but no one has ever said that I'm too short etc.
Manlets are 100% gross - just super icky! I would rather die a torturous death than to even consider touching a manlet!
I wanna be taller too.
I see short guys with women all the time.
Go after short girls
