How can short guys fare better with dating?

[LonelyIntovert]

When even shorter women want tall men? I'm 5'8, ginger, unattractive and awkward so there won't be many women attracted to me.

All these girls are just being immature 5’8 is a perfectly normal height!

Ginger is great hair colour and very unique, unfortunately society and the past has put us in a bad light, girls are lucky that men are not so shallow and will be very happy with a ginger but sometimes females are rather set in their ways or can be close minded, find yourself a lovely mature woman who will love your hair colour.

I think when you call yourself unattractive that is a self reflection also people shouldn’t be defined by how they look. If you are truly unhappy with part of your body you can try and fix it or accept that it’s your body and no one has the right to tell you what’s wrong with it (unless it’s a doctor, you should probably listen to them)

Awkward people are often kind hearted and that is an amazing trait to have being awkward is not a flaw because it comes with many great personality traits.

Currently a lot of women are focused on finding the man they had imagined to be perfect but they don’t realise height does not matter and neither does hair colour is eye colour but it’s the personality that counts because if she finds the most handsome man she can find he might not be the nicest and she needs to realise that man doesn’t exist but her perfect man does, maybe he isn’t super tall with blonde hair and blue eyes but he IS perfect for her.

Stop stressing over your height and focus on your assets, be more confident, and what you can bring to a relationship or do to make you stand out and impress a girl.

I've been attracted to "short" guys before. I use that term loosely as I don't consider 5'8 short as I'm 5'6 myself.

As a matter of fact, the last guy I had a crush on was 5'8, 5'9 and his height was not an issue with me! Why? He was confident, fun to chat and hang out with, and didn't stress over his height. The main person that worries about your height, is yourself. You're your own worse enemy when it comes to finding a date.

There is an old saying, women never marry down. I think they will date you in their younger ages, but a long-term relationship would be risker with a taller woman who could easily lose respect for you over time.

A short guy who wants to date taller needs to have higher qualities with status and money. It sounds shallow, but with real female nature and hypergamy, you will have to overcompensate in other places to get a taller woman to want you for something long-term.

Otherwise date shorter. Girls come in all shapes and sizes. Millions of them.

You are a white male from an Anglo Saxon country (USA, UK, Australia, Europe, and the likes). Go to Asia. Asian women dig white male from Anglo Saxon countries.

Your pale complexion plays to your favor.

Plus, Asian women are generally short. So, in Asia you'd be even considered tall. Good luck and thanks for mho.

Well if you define yourself or look at yourself as unattractive and awkward then im not sure you will ever get through it if you dont try and look at yourself differently. But either way its just like guys liking boobs and asses its just something were attracted to physically.

5'8" isn't terribly short. My dad is 5'8"

You don't need a lot of women to br attracted to you, you just need the right woman to be attracted to you.

[turnmypainintopower1]

well I personally think 5'8-5'10 is the perfect height for guys so that shouldn't be an issue... but you should have a little bit more confidence in yourself, confidence makes guys more attractive :) hope this helps

[MatinBrumeux]

I don't get why short girls want guy over 6 ft. Very confusing. Just put yourself out there more and make sure to have great personality.
You'll find someone

I have be more attractive to short guys. Since I have a learning disabilities. It better to have a partner to trust without trust. it wouldn't go anywhere

[Inneedofusername]

I don't care about height. As long as the guy is muscular, his body may be even 160cm tall and it still would be hella attractive to me

[Elthehoe]

I'm something between 5'9 and 5'10 , and I'd date with a male like you. You looked cute to me tbh. Dont Canadian girls like gingers?

[boggboss]

I'm 5"8 and still found many women attracted to me it's when I started to act more confident that I started to notice

[Unit1]

My condolences.

As a 6'3 guy who never even had a kiss in his life, I can tell you that women don't give a fuck about height. Sure, they might prefer taller guys, but its overall a very irrelevant criteria. If you think height is the problem - trust me, its not.

[Redstang88]

I’m 5’8, and I know plenty of guys shorter than me doing just fine

[Anonymous]

I kinda prefer shorter guys. I dont really like the thought of my boyfriend towering above me. Long as the guy is 5"4 . I dont care.

[Anonymous]

Don't worry. I like a guy who is 161cm, average looking & dark skinned. I like him because of his personality, nice person & comes from a good family. He doesn't know i like him. I hope he will propose to me one day haha.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Dude I'm shorter than you, what should I say... Girls that don't care about height are very rare

[dude4554]

Without a good face and/or frame a short guy will struggle.

[Anonymous]

[000_000]

[niDaye]
