Why are women obsessed with a man's height even though it cannot be changed?

Question

I'm a guy who is between 5'6 and 5'7. I'm seeing that majority of the women are not interested. What should a short guy do in order to be the best possible person of himself. I do like working out and have abs but still I feel it doesn't matter to women compared to height. What are your suggestions?

The majority of women aren't interested in short guys thats a fact. You can't change what they like. Some women don't mind short guys though. Avoid all apps and social media. They are crap and toxic to everyone thats on them looking for someone. Meet someone in real life. I tend to notice that the conventionally attractive women will avoid short men and the ones invested so much in their appearance and seeking attention. They will most likely want good looking taller guys to match their status. I'm also short at 5'4 and tend to match with average and sometimes below average looking women. I've realized thats probably the best I can get, but hey personality matters more, don't be picky. A short guy thats picky and wants a super attractive girl is going to get nowhere. You have to drop your standards even if women have higher standards it will work in your favor.

I realized that being picky as a short guy will decrease the chances a lot so as long as you are open to more women despite what they might look like then your chances are better because as short guys we aren't in the pool of the really attractive women looking for guys, it won't happen. If you do want to be picky and have standards, it will be twice as hard, but thats your choice and will greatly extend you finding someone. This goes for anyone really, but for short guys it'll make the search much more longer, probably a few years or more if you really want the "ideal" woman. There might be times in which there'll be 4 - 6/10 looking women interested in you, possibly some women that might not be your type. If you give them a chance then you can potentially be in a relationship, if you ignore that chance you'll make it harder. In sum, short guys can't be picky, you gotta work with what you get and take every chance you have with any woman interested in you. You never know how a woman is until you talk to her.

Because even if they only want the top 20% of men who are over six feet tall, that's still millions of men to choose from. Women aren't just entitled with height, but everything else a man might have to offer, as well.

Me being 180 cm and completely giving up pursuing relationships because of it, I know VERY well how much it stings to be considered unworthy because you happen to be the same size as a child or a 13 year old Dutch girl. I loathe in ways words cannot express myself (although I certainly tried to).

You've reached that point many of us have. You can call it MGTOW, going your own way, or whatever... But you've finally discovered that there's nothing you can do to earn women's affection due to things 100% entirely out of your control. Well, like me, the best thing to do would be to move on. Bury that dream dead, and don't look back. I mean, it's not like you have many alternatives anyway. What else can you do, cry for the rest of your life that no woman will ever love you due to things outside of your control? Try to win the lottery or become a millionaire hoping to bribe a girl into "liking" you?

No. There's nothing you can do. Guess you just gotta work on yourself and find happiness in being alone. But hey, it's at least better to learn this between 18-24, then in your thirties, like I did. Yeah, it f*cking SUUUUUUUCKS! But again, what can men like us do? If you're below six feet, you're f*cked. 100%. But hey, it's not the end of life. You just gotta find other things out there that you value besides love and relationships. Far easier said than done, though.

There is a good chance that you're only going after the cute, pretty girls if you're finding that no woman is interested in a 5'6'-5'7'' guy. Cute pretty girls have plenty of options and do not need to settle for you. Those types of girls can easily get a guy who is 5'11'' -6'5''. Lower your standards and dates will come towards you. Top league girls tend to go for top league guys. A 5'6-5'7'' guy is not top league.

you want the cutest girls, so why are you complaining when these girls want the tall guys?

The same reason people are obsessed with race, gender, etcetera. It all comes from the same well of sin and delusion.

In my experience it is men as myself are more physically inclined to be attracted to the opposite sex while , Lady's , on the other hand , care more about mentality and emotional compatibility than about looks. When thinking of Lady's from a scientific prospective it would be best to look at partner choosing from the mentality of "What would be the most stable mate for creating a familial unit? What would he bring to the table to hold a family together from his personality or finances that would allow him to create stability".

Financial stability is actually not very important to many women as much as mentality and mental and emotional compatibility.

Immature girls tend to be more worried about finances and physical attributes. The kind of girl who is a bar fly or wants to be supported and is lazy falls under the other category in my opinion these girls are not worth your time if you are looking for something serious. Their priorities are materialistic and not wholesome. Don't take her home to meet Mom she will be highly disappointed.

More relevant to your intent than your question but I'm going to make an observation based off of things I've read involving people answering your question and your responses to them

You don't seem to be having very much luck with women including short ones you also seem either uncomfortable with your height or are upset because women are saying you are too short

If everyone is not wanting to date you because you are too short then you are either going for someone who is way out of your league or they're lying to you and there's something else unappealing about you that's significantly worse so they just go with you being too short

It's probably one of those two and if you're going for people out of your league then stop just stop and if they're just trying to come up with an excuse that sounds less mean then I guess you have more to work on and I can't help you with that

Also I feel like women are going to be able to give a lot better advice on this one than the men so if a woman tells you it you should probably take their thoughts into consideration because they probably understand the women better than you do being there one of them

Hi, your height is good. You are not short. What is your problem? You don't need that thought that women are not interested in you because of your height. I believe you got that wrong because I know many tall women who married short guys that are not up to your height. That being said, to be successful with women, you must first rule out this thought because it is not correct. A low self esteem is already a killer. You don't need that. Seconds try and understand women. Women love bold, kind and well dressed men. They love men that command respect, just like their daddy. You need to start being sure of yourself. Be confident and please please please, have some money in your pocket. Don't be stingy and you're good to go.

Personally, I am not obsessed with the height of a man because I value personality over looks, but from what I've heard on why women tend to be so drawn to the height of a man is because they find it really attractive for the man to be taller than them.

Something that can't changed worth more, no less, tall men are looking more masculine.

kiki18 · Answer

women often fall or look for tall men because it has to do with femininity and masculinity we women look for masculine men (also unconscious) so that our femininity shows more and tall men fall under masculinity and dominance unconscious in your head

You know it's a myth that girls don't like short height guys they just like the guy who's height should be a bit longer from them. That's it.

Anonymous · Answer

Expecting women to fully make sense. That's your first mistake. 🤣
My advice to any guy. "Just accept it". a lot of time they just aren't going to.
Honestly the more you just chalk up to "women logic" the happier you'll be.

You aren't short. Find girls who don't care about height. I did and I'm significantly shorter than you, and the majority of the population past the age of 18 and under the age of 60.
