How can I not be depressed due to my short height😞?

[GreedGod]

I'm very depressed because of my height which is like 5'6 or 5'7. No matter what it bothers me and my self esteem.

Like no matter what I do I will be considered less of a man. Girls don't find me attractive, even though I'm relatively fit, hit gym 6 times per week. But still tall guys win no matter what by their genetics.

How can I be confident in this situation?

[MCheetah]

I couldn't tell you. I pretty much guarantee you I hate being short even more than you do.

But here's a few things I can tell you, assuming it doesn't make you feel worse.

"Just try to find girls that don't care about height or shorter girls then you."
Girls of all heights want tall men. In fact, short girls are the worst about it, because to short girls and tall men, shortness equals femininity and tallness equals masculinity. So tall men see short women as slightly more feminine, where as short men don't see them like that. This is to say, short women think of themselves as more desirable than taller women, thus tend to be even more picky towards wanting six feet and up.

"Women don't care about height. Just be taller than her."
Piss off! Anyone who says this crap!

There's three levels women judge men based on height.

"ATTRACTIVE/DESIRABLE" is 6'0" minimum PLUS five inches taller than her.
For most women, there's a six foot minimum you need just to qualify, but for tall women, you have to be six feet plus five inches, so a 5'10" woman wants a guy at least 6'3"

Second level is "SETTLING:" She'll take a guy at least two inches taller than her, even if he's short, but she won't find him attractive at all. So a 5'8" woman will settle for a 5'10" man. Which is why people say the crap they do. But "settling" is not the same thing as being desirable/attractive to her. This is called being a simp. 99.99% of short men are simps to whatever women they get. They act like slaves to her and revolve their entire lives around her, whether she's worthy of such attention or not. It's not genuine romance.

Third level is "DEALBREAKER" height, which is her same height or shorter (sometimes if she's in high heels, but usually flat-footed). This is why for most men, 5'9" and under is not good enough for any women, but 5'10" and 5'11" are unacceptable too, cause that's how tall she'll be in heels. Basically, any height starting with "five" is for women and children, in their eyes.

"Don't worry about height; just be sexy."
Yeah, no. That don't work. You can just look around and see how common taller women-shorter men couples are. Although I was in more than one, they pretty much don't exist, despite how many men under six feet there are out there. While most men may settle for a short guy she doesn't find attractive (in height), tall men have the most success with women.

So, with all of this said, the ONLY thing I can tell you is...

Stop caring what women think.

While I feel your same sentiment and used to be a romantic guy myself, if you're under six feet tall, you already have no shot for genuine romance or love from someone, at all. I relish no joy in telling you this. I'm just telling you, I've been there. Women will want what they want. And really, why shouldn't they? It'd be like telling you you have to date a 450 pound hairy woman with poor hygiene. THAT is what being a short man is, to women.

So if you want to be six feet minimum just for women... Then forget about it. It's better to be alone than to be with someone who could never love you if you were under 183 cm.

And if you want to be tall just for self-acceptance and because short as a man when you look in the mirror just f*cking sucks... Then, join the club. I'm the president of it.

While most *women may settle for a short guy she doesn't find attractive

give up on women

they are prostitutes

start looking at the females in your family and listen to their words

you will realize they are prostitutes

they do not love you

GOD Christ does

focus on him

trust me

I was once a teen like you

and thought I could find a girl who loved me

but they don't

women do not even love themselves

they either lusted after me for dick

or just did not like me

BUT NO LOVE

THEY DO NOT WANT TO LOVE

just look at them

[WinterWaves]

Being tall or short is a very very relative thing

Here's something useful and practical that you can apply

Find a girl who comes from a place where the average height of men in her area is pretty short
She is sooo used to men around your height that she wouldn't even notice that you are considered short in other countries

Maybe her dad and brother are like 5'6, 5'7' too so she doesn't really care too much about your height because to her that height is pretty normal.

Women only become picky when all men around them are very tall.

[Apple1996]

5'6-5'7 is a good height for a guy. Nothing wrong with that so don't be depressed

[Truthatanycost]

I'm the same height and have no such problems. Therefore one could argue that you are creating your own suffering and reality through your perceptions. There are plenty of women that like all kinds of heights. How much do you weigh? if you are hitting the gym 6 times a week you are probably doing isolation routines as opposed to full body...

[GreedGod]

Yes I do separate muscles.

[Avicenna]

How do you know women don’t find you attractive? It’s not as if they go up to guys they find attractive and tell them they are. Trust me when I tell you lots of women will find you attractive and you’ll never have a clue.

Confidence is a state of mind and comes from within. Do you think you’d be a good guy to date? If so, then you should feel confident.

Rejection is also nothing to feel ashamed about- it’s only if you never try that you never get rejected.

[Berethor]

Look for short girls, some of them might be okay with your height.

[Massageman]

Be confident with your SELF, and don't concern yourself so much with your HEIGHT.
If some gals only want "tall" guys, that is their loss.

[poneglyphs]

This got to be a joke right? I'm 5'2 and I'm not depressed.

[zagor]

Lots of short guys get girls. You just have to do something to make yourself appealing. I know guys who have been confined to wheelchairs their whole life who are married - count your blessings.

[Creampiekarl420]

You could start a campaign to funding to wage large scale economic warfare against Britain like napoleon

[xJayleenx]

Don’t be depressed all of my uncles are short and all found wives also my cousin’s ex was literally 5’1

[Anonymous]

Just try to find girls that don't care about height or shorter girls then you.

[GreedGod]

Even shorter girls want tall guys these days.

[Opinion Owner]

Yea but 5'6 is tall to someone 5'.

[GreedGod]

Yes I know. But what I'm saying doesn't matter what their height is, the thing right now is that guys around 6ft are the most attractive.

[Opinion Owner]

So you don't have to be the most attractive. Also you obviously have confidence issues which doesn't help either.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm sure you're making things harder on yourself then they need to be.

[GreedGod]

No, I wanna be the most attractive. That's the thing.

[Opinion Owner]

Well sure you can be to some women.

[GreedGod]

But height is the biggest barrier. It's the number one physical trait.

[Opinion Owner]

Ok I've said it not, but you can't change that.

[Opinion Owner]

I haven't said*

[GreedGod]

So what can I do, like no matter how much efforts I put into my body, my height just ruins it all.

[Opinion Owner]

Just accept it and it doesn't ruin it. You'll just be the best 5'6 guy and if you have a nice body maybe you can beat an 5'11 fat guy in attractiveness.

[GreedGod]

But I can't beat a 5'11 nice body guy though?

[Opinion Owner]

If we're only going on body then no.

[Opinion Owner]

but they're are other things women like for in men.

[GreedGod]

Why, that's my point? He just got gifted by his genetics. Like it's a roll of dice

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah and my point is its a waste of time to be mad at dice.

[GreedGod]

But it matters, isn't it? That's why I get mad when the number physical trait women look for in a guy is genetics basically

[Opinion Owner]

Mostly anything people find attractive is genetics based.

[Opinion Owner]

Even working out. Some people just can't put on muscles like others can.

[GreedGod]

I know most people find something attractive. But height is like something which all women want the same which is tall. No one likes short. And also speaking about working out, I'm also ectomorph meaning it's hard for me to put muscles but still I did because as said working out is not just based on genetics, if you push harder you're gonna gain muscles. People who say they don't gain muscles are just impatient and lazy.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not trying to convince you otherwise. I just think super focusing on the one trait you lack and acting like its the biggest deal and saying stuff like "all" and "no one" won't help you not be depressed.

[GreedGod]

Doesn't change the fact that 99% women would reject me because of my height.

[Opinion Owner]

Ya I don't think its that high. Maybe of the women you're attracted to. Like you just like women that only like tall guys.

[GreedGod]

But most like tall guys, isn't it?

[Opinion Owner]

I would consider 99% all lol.
You probably just find girls that are like 5'9 attractive. Which sucks because you're not wrong that like a large number of them won't date you.

[Opinion Owner]

If you don't want to be depressed you just have to move on and accept that sometimes things suck

[Opinion Owner]

Be the best short king you can be.😂😂

[GreedGod]

Even girls who are liek similar to my height or like an inch Or two shorter want way taller guysm

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not gonna disagree not sure what else I can say.

[GreedGod]

Whatever you wanna say. What is your height how tall do you want guys to be?

[Opinion Owner]

I can't Dm you. lol

[GreedGod]

Wait

[Cubus]

Date girls who are 5'3 and shorter. There's plenty of them.

[IsoUser]

Quit bitching you could always go on the Mefevil Rack.

[TrillXHippy]

You’re 19 and 5’6/5’7. I’m 26 and I’m 5’9. You’re not done growing

[Flower7]

Only try to date girls who are short.

[MagicCarpet1]

Change your gender, problem solved.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Most women don't care about height.

[DWornock]

You can't so learn to live with it.

[Straight2thepoint]

U hang out with the wrong crowd. That all
