To be honest, you have to show confidence. You dont base yourself off of what girls like, you just go for it and be yourself! Whoever has standards like that about guys, they aren't even worth you. I am serious, not just saying this so I can get a most helpful, I just want to be helpful. Girls like that disgust me, trust me. Saying they want a guy a certain hieght, you can't have standards if its meant to be. You just have to live life and let the girls come to you, that is where you find happiness :)
"To be honest, you have to show confidence."
Oh god, that's even worse than the "personality" thing.
Typical response he as to be confident? No one expect the girl to be confident because she doesn't need to be.
Excuse me, but what answer do you want? Do you think the internet will solve all your problems? Well wake up sweetheart, it wont. But we are trying. So dont you dare trash everyones advice when you can't get a girl and we are trying to help. You dont know everyone's story, I am having a stressful life right now and I dont need some idiot being a jerk when I offer help. Have fun being alone kid.
And you, women hate me, I am actually attracted to the confidence many guys have. I actually fall head over heels. So don't even get me started with you
Don't get you started? I don't need someone under 18 to fight wity me because you won't win. You would dump a guy the minute a Justin Bieber look alike walked in.
If you want a good answer, you dont burn your bridges and trash the person. You ask them "excuse me, but I meant it in this way" or "may you please be more realistic? I do not feel that is a very vivid response." I am 15 and I know that, bud. Please get smarter and respect people then you might actually have a life.
15 and acts like she's lived a full life? You haven't even began living. I've been alive longer than you've been walking this earth. I swear why do you little kids on here act like your 40+? There should be no one under 21 on here allowed.
aha Justin Bieber look a like? I am more into Blink 182, not that cheesy over played pop music. Sure I am young but doesn't mean I am one of those stereotypes. You don't actually know the struggles I am going through, so please do not anger me. I am in poverty, and my family abuse me enough thank you.
Like I said its a double standard how everyone expects the guy to be confident but never the girl why is that?
Yea, I dont know on that one. I tell everyone to have confidence. Most guys like confident girls too. Everyone just wants someone to make them confident and happy. I try to be spontaneous and confident even though I am small, which I am. People like me for that, and for my kindness believe it or not LOL. I am almost always kind unless I have a stressful day and I get sick of things and decide to stand up for myself so sorry for that aha. But yea, I can't help you there really
Your gonna realize the older you get the less people care about personality. Guys can give a rats butt about how confident a girl is.
Sorry but everyone as struggles yours is no different. I want you to look up the name of a girl named Juliana Wetmore on YouTube that poor kid has struggles.
Maybe the girls you're interested in are superficial, or maybe there's another problem that's not height related? I mean my dad is 6'2" but I've never once wanted to be with someone extremely tall. In fact tall guys kind of scare me.
My boyfriend is hardly 5'7", so I don't think your height is the major issue.
"In fact tall guys kind of scare me."
That's retarded, but okay.
It is, I have many. As stated plenty of times.
"Girls reject you cos you're an asshole and use your height as an excuse"
I'm an asshole on the internet to retards like you. In real life I'm as nice and polite as I can be (even with girls), still doesn't matter though. You are an idiot.
Internet =/= real life, dumbass.
Date short girls. You're really not that short at ALL! You're not tall but not short. I dated two guys your height and one guy was 5'8" so as long as you don't like super tall girls you're fine. Another thing is if you carry yourself slumped over and insecure it will make you seem smaller so embrace yourself as is!
Do you live amongst giraffes? I don't see how your height is an issue for the majority of girls. The problem I see is that you may be prone to making excuses as to why girls don't just fall on your lap at the snap of a finger.
Girls don't only want guys 6'0''+. Maybe tall ones do. If you insist on using tall girls as the case study for your dating futility, you must be a glutton for misery and that mindset trickles down into everything you do.
Calm yourself Dr. Assumption.
"The problem I see is that you may be prone to making excuses as to why girls don't just fall on your lap at the snap of a finger."
I'm not making excuses, nor do I want girls to fall into my lap at a snap of a finger (that sounds retarded). I'm simply working off things that I've heard girls saying (average sized girls and short ones). This is one of those things. It's a big one.
Maybe I did make it seem that way, and I apologize. That was my mistake.
It isn't my BIGGEST issue (I've got many more), but it is an important one.
I would but a sequel has just been written.
I didn't think it mattered either but apparently it does according to many girls out there.
No I wouldn't. I'd be out chatting up hot babes.
No it isn't.
Also, PROOF: https://twitter (dot) com/TweetLikeAGirI/status/468945631336484864
Still counts!
I'm the same height and I agree women only want good looking, tall guys. Some say that being 5'10 is tall really? My friend who's 6'2 is always bragging about women coming up to him. Wanna know how many women have come up to me? Zero. Just get some shoe lifts or I don't know act like a douche bag lol.
AMEN!
by the way I agree no one cares about personality. Girls on here that say they would put personalty over looks lol.
Wasn't expecting Most Helpful thanks.
Dude message me I wanna talk to you about something.
Sorry to get into your comments again, you are probably sick of me aha. But, I agree. Many girls are fake and say that want personality more than looks. I just think personality actually enhances your looks :) I admit, I do like guys who are pretty gorgeous, but they are also kind and confident. And if there is a cute douche, I am just turned off completely. I am sorry you think all girls are like this :(
@Falling4UTC If there was a cute douche bag you'd drop everything your doing and try to get his attention come on at least admit that. Its no wonder I'm so bitter and become hateful towards women and girls everyday.
People tell me not to put all females in one basket? But its hard not to even when the fattest ugliest chicks think they deserve MR. Hot Supermodel guy for a BF.
Trust me, there are so many racist innapropriate douches in my school and I do admit some of them are attractive. A couple even asked me out, but I said no because their personality like these kids named John and Dylan. So innapropriate. I am not saying I dont base relationships on looks too, I do a bit. But someone could be the most gorgeous guy and have a horrible personality and I wouldn't date them. I dont need a perfect supermodel, just a decent person with a big heart aha. I am sorry that a lot of girls believe they can et whatever they want.
@Falling4UTC lol.

Height isn't your problem. Unless you're in eastern Europe (where everyone is super tall). Reading some of your responses...i bet it's your attitude. You come off as a dick in half of your responses when you don't hear what you want. You realize, They're genuinely trying to help you.
Truth is plenty of 6ft+ guys can't get women and plenty of 5-8 and under have hot GF's. I seriously doubt you're pleasant to any women. Be honest, how often have you had drink tossed in your face or been slapped for being too much of a sarcastic ass?
are you kidding me with this? you really think it's your height (something you can't control btw...) Next you'll complain because your too much of a "nice guy".
"Unless you're in eastern Europe (where everyone is super tall)."
I'm from Eastern Europe (living in Canada), most people aren't that tall. Only in certain areas (Dinaric alps, etc.)
"You come off as a dick in half of your responses when you don't hear what you want."
I am a dick, I'm also bitter and a loser. But girls who I don't know DON'T KNOW THAT so it is IRRELEVANT. The first thing you notice about someone is their looks (which includes height).
"I seriously doubt you're pleasant to any women."
Idiot. I rarely talk to women, and when I do I'm as polite and nice as can be, doesn't work.
"Be honest, how often have you had drink tossed in your face or been slapped for being too much of a sarcastic ass?"
I don't drink or go to clubs.
"Next you'll complain because your too much of a "nice guy"."
Nope. I'm just a loser and I accept it.
Not very tall...at 5'10" lol
You know what you do? Either stop whining or do what I'd prefer: keep whining so a fellow 5'10"-er has more options. If you act like a beta who is worried about being *gasp* a normal height, then your issue isn't your height.
Now, bring on the downvotes :D
"If you act like a beta..."
LOL, internet "alpha male" tough guy again!
Nope, those "alphas" are dumb as shit too. But that doesn't mean there aren't lame ass betas running around. But hey, at least you don't wear trillby's...right?
I'm 5'5", though my boyfriend is just about at 5'9". I'm sure it doesn't have to do with height. Put your personality on display, don't be afraid because if you aren't afraid, a girl may just step up and love you for who you are.
Ok, no "hurr durr personality matters' stuff from now on. Nobody cares about personality.
Well, perhaps it's that. You are, as it seems, rather subjective and that might as well be what is causing you to not be able to get a girl.
And my "hurr durr personality matters" are, in fact correct and can be proven with any group of random girls and women. If you disagree, I'm sure if you ask girls around here on GAG, they will tell you that they do care about personality--it's what makes dating fun and an unique experience.
Pretty sure subjectivity isn't something girls care about at all.
Personality matter A LITTLE but barely. People (guys and girls) generally just care about looks and stuff like that. This is proven by reality, and that if you ask HONEST people about it, you'll find they care little about personality, and mainly about looks, etc.
Also, girls on GAG are pretty moronic from the looks of it.
I apologize for bothering you, sir, but I am trying my hardest to stay mature, unlike how had been so rude to mock me. Sure, I may be young at fifteen, but I will not tolerate such childish behavior as I already get enough of that at school.
Now, I was simply trying to give you advice, as this website is for questions and people's answers.
And do, have a good night [or afternoon, morning, et cetera.].
If you're 15 then stop trying to act like you're 40. I don't need to be mature on this website. I was simply stating the truth.
To be honest, I agree with the opinion owner. If someone is some jerk or player but super attractive I will just be disgusted by them. I need someone who actually cares, looks are just a bonus. And I am 5"0, and all people above 5"10 actually intimidate me aha. I would date a guy my exact hieght if he had a great personality and was decent looking ;) Dont be so hard on yourself
"I agree with the opinion owner."
Of course you do, because you're another one of the regular idiots on this website.
hmm no wonder the asker is alone
Maybe you should talk to girls who are 5'5" and under. Usually fairly short girls don't like really tall guys because it makes general tasks such as kissing difficult. Of course everyone has their personal preference though.
"Usually fairly short girls don't like really tall guys"
Girls who are 5-5 to like 5-7 (short ones) seem to like really tall guys, so yeah.
5'7" isn't short. I meant more like 4'whatever" up to 5'5"
No, 5-7 is short. It isn't SUPER short, but still short.
Alright. That's a matter of opinion I suppose. You must live with Amazon women who are all 6' tall.
No, I barely see 6 ft tall women where I am (nor do I want to).
Um 5'10 IS tall! I'd date you. I consider 5'10 and up to be tall. If I have to stand on my toes just to kiss you, I consider you tall and I'm 5'7 lol. I date guys who are 5'6 and up. But seriously, you have to be confident and just ask them out. We like it when guys approach us and are cute. YOU ARE TALL! Whoever told you you were short is an idiot.
Most people can't tell two inches so height isn't your problem.
Apparently girls can because I hear them say they love guys "over 6 feet tall" all the time. It is one of many of my problems.
Hmm out of the 10 boyfriends I have had only 2 were over 5'10". The rest were shorter. Had I only known that they were unacceptable...
You can get girls you are average height. Maybe its not your height
Apparently it is my height, among other things.
Lmao. All you need to do is be a decent person and find someone who likes your appearance and your personality and admires you. Typically it is easier if with your height, you look at 5'7" and below.
Just like you would otherwise.
I'm 5'7", my boyfriend is 5'6" and it's no big deal.
I just think as long as the girl isn't "bigger" it's not hard to get used to.
If you're going after tall girls like 5'9-5'10 or taller they want a taller guy (usually). I'm 6 feet tall and I usually only get attention from shorter girls 5'10 girls want taller.
I wouldn't date a girl who prioritizes height. That is weird. It is also weird for guys to be uber-self-conscious about these kinds of things. Actually I don't like uber-self-conscious girls either.
I think the simple rule is... girls like to be shorter than guys and guys like to be taller than them... but I have seen couples who do not care about such a thing... and they are completely fine in my book... I mean I don't see them any different. As long as you are a healthy height for your age...you are good.
At the end of the day height does not make a man. And there is more too being a man than chasing some vagina. An actual woman who is worth your time will never judge you based on your height.
u cant...manlets when will they learn. 6'2" master race reporting in.
Damn!
i just read some of ur comments on peoples questions, u are literally most butthurt dude i have seen. 30 to 35 telling people u can't get women since ur only 5'10". that is fine, thats above average, ur problem isn't ur height its ur complete butthurtedness about life and sucking at it.
my reccomendation for curing ur EBD (extreme beta disorder)
start going to the gym, blame a couple things on urself, find another person who is getting there life together at 35 years old. stop complaining
I'm pissed off and proud of it! Sue me, b*tch!
Also, I'm 22, I didn't set the age thingy to my real age because who cares, really.
"ur problem isn't ur height its ur complete butthurtedness about life and sucking at it."
Woah, you diagnosed my problem so well. Good job, Dr. Freud Jr! Yep, that's definitely it.
"my reccomendation for curing ur EBD (extreme beta disorder)

I laughed so hard at this. You must be one of those internet "alpha male" tough guys, when in real life you're some degenerate junkie chav who barely graduated high school.
You're the last one who should be giving advice, m8.
Try being 5'6"! I was once on a dating site that was loaded with local girls. I n my profile I stated that I had a good job, house with a pool, a very nice car, and zero debt (i am good looking with a muscular/athletic body). I sent 20 to 30 messages to girls and maybe 3 answered back.
I guess after they run out of 5'10"+ guys my phone will ring off the hook.
Look up "short guy picks up chicks" he is SHORT but he uses it to his advantage with jokes and he still talks, gets their numbers and all
Creepy.
Lol 5'10 is tall tho.. I am 4'11 I would date you because your way taller then me. .
but it's not about height tho.. just get a girl that's 4'9 4'10 or 4'11..
Buy a mallet and hit them on the head and they will shrink to your size.
Either that or they'll call the cops I don't know but lemme know how it works out. Good luck
oh, shut up. plenty of guys under 6 ft have gfs. you probably aren't that desirable in many other ways if you find it that difficult.
Whoever said girls don't like guys who are 5'10 ? Or less than 6' ? Talk guys are nice, but it doesn't have to be over 6' for me to like a guy, or to find him attractive.. LoL :)
Maybe iys just the type of girls u r trying to approach
I'm 5'6. I don't mind about height as long as you're taller than me.
I like guys around 5'10 I'm not very tall so it makes thing less awkward
Height? I'm 6-4 and I haven't even so much as touched a girl in almost 30 years.
You may be homosexual, that's OK, you were born that way!
LMAO and you couldn't be further from the truth. But it appears you don't like the truth anyway, so suit yourself, be happy!
I don't know how tall my ex was, probably a few inches less than you, and I thought he was tall.
I'm 5'2 and I like guys 5'10 and over :) I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Seriously? How the hell would THAT help to dissaude his worries? I googled this, and the average male height is 5'9" and the average female height is 5'4". The only remotely comforting piece of advice a person of average height can receive is that there are people of the other gender who are also of an average height - theoretically giving him a chance.
But NOW? A girl 2 inches below her gender's average has admitted her preference is one inch ABOVE the partner's average. Bottom line here is, I'm not going to judge you for having your preference, but I am going to be a pedantic fucker and make it clear that your comment is actually the LEAST comforting one on the whole page. Please don't tell him not to worry.
Whoa, chill out creative user name! I thought from what he wrote that he was 5'10! I misread the description. I'm really sorry asker!
If you aren't 5'10, there are plenty of girls who do like guys who are shorter. I have several really tiny friends (around 5' and under) that like guys around 5'5 to 5'7. There are girls who Like shorter guys and find taller guys intimidating.
From what I've seen they tend to be cute little shy girls. So I would try with those types. But there really is someone for everyone.
Thank you for adding to your original comment. I know the gratitude of an angry stranger must count for pretty little, but there it is anyway.
Also, sorry for my un-chilled-out-ness there. I was in a pretty terrible mood when I made that comment (I did after all arrive at this topic through a Google search, so you can probably guess why I was in that particular mood). You misunderstood little, I think he is 5'10". I was just commenting from an entirely different place based on my own thoughts. My lousy, 5'9" thoughts :)
Anyway, I still sort of stand by what I said, in terms of why guys should worry and why a lot of average-height men are in trouble. But that doesn't excuse the venom. I haven't found the 'Edit Comment' button on this website yet...
That's all right. It is true honestly. Guys below average will likely have a harder time sadly, but there really is someone for everyone.
I don't have a big chest or butt and lots of guys don't like that either for example, but some guys do.
There really are girls out there that like shorter guys. They tend to be really tiny themselves. And while I strongly prefer tall guys if an amazing guy liked me and he had the qualities I want in a partner I would take him over a tall douchebag any day.
Yeah you're right, the big chest-butt preference is just as prevalent as the tall guys preference. And even though I'm no great catch myself I'll always be in a bad mood when such girls ignore me. So it's pretty selfish of me to start projecting that crap on other people.
If you don't think you're a catch and you're unhappy with yourself, work to improve. You'll be happier and girls will be all over you.
I'm speaking from experience. If you are unhappy with yourself, you can't expect others to like you also!
Oh yeah I've definitely realised that recently! I can improve myself and will. Essentially, this height thing has just been a minor hiccup in that road, since it's one thing I can't control. But yeah I'm gonna do as much other stuff as I can.
Great job! Good luck!
Just ask her out...you are plenty tall.
There's no "her" in specific, dude.
No thanks.
You're a giant to me.
You can't , you might as well give up all hope.
haha ya you don't need to be 6 feet...5 10 is tall
5'10 is tall.
I'm 5'6 so you're tall to me.
You're tall enough!
