What can a short guy do to improve his odds of finding a partner?

Question

For the record I am 5'6 and have had no issues finding a partner. It appears though in social media that short guys are doomed. So if that is the case what can a short guy do to better his odds?

Confidence is everything. Dude I am married to someone who is WAY out of my league. Confidence and being a good guy is a start.

For example when I met my wife we were at a shinedown concert. We were seated right next to each other. It was snowing pretty heavy after and she was afraid to go home, she had a 4 hour drive. So I offered to let her have my bed while I took the couch. No expectations. So that is where it started. She refused to let me sleep on my couch so we shared the bed. Nothing happened. I repeat NOTHING HAPPENED, though she did offer lol. The next morning I made her breakfast and we watched movies. She ended up going home on Monday (this started Saturday), when roads cleared. She kept texting and calling me, and eventually we were a thing. And then in in April, a month after our first meeting, I ended up in the hospital, my wisdom teeth almost killed me. She was the only one who showed up, not my family nor my friends. I decided at that point I was going to marry this girl.. That was nearly 11 years ago. I'm not the best looking guy. At the time I was badly over weight. I had a shit job, and I was not a very good person. I made changes in my life. She's still way out of my league.. Lol. But I went for whst I wanted.

I believe honesty and kindness and intelligence is respected just as much as height. I've seen short guys who had those qualities that always had the best girls interested in them.

I Don't look at social media as a way to gauge my worth. Social media is cece pool anyway especially twitter “X”.

Im 5’7 and i don’t consider myself short more like average hight. It shocks me people think thats short lol if we base our opinions on social media we all would be undesirable Flawed people. The standards is unrealistic and actual reasonable people dont put emphasis on trivial things like what social media puts out its more of a plus.

What can “short” guys do to improve your worth? Be your true self and not fake because people are not doing that and there is a lot of fake people advertising fake lives. Work on yourself and be the best version of yourself. Look at Kobe Bryant. Coaches that work with him will tell you that physically there isn't anything great about Kobe he is physically average but he took what was average and turned it into something fantastic.

Muhammad Ali was once interviewed and said he didn’t actually believe in the beginning he was the greatest he just kept saying he was. My point is master yourself and ignore the noise.

1) Confidence & not arrogance
2) Genuine personality & not what you think she wants to see or hear
3) Honesty, integrity & good principles
4) Sweetness towards her & gentlemanly (good manners & chivalry)
5) Nice dresser & smells good-not every outfit has to be sweats. Clean jeans, unwrinkled t-shirt & smelling shower fresh or of nice cologne can be a huge turn on!
6) Talk to her & ask her about her day. Message mid day just to say "hey, I was thinking of you & wanted to say 'hi'"

Not being a dick - a lot of guys could benefit from this advice besides that not being an insecure sob about it and owning it that includes letting his woman wear heels if she wants to also go for women in your height range or I mean if you like tall women you do you

RebelinSteel · Answer

A lot of it is down to personal attitude no matter a persons height. If you are all doom and gloom or act like the world is against you, then you sort of fulfil your own prophecy. As for Social media it’s a load of crap and puts false expectations on people.

Confidence and fitness. I appreciate height as the next girl, but I always notice that the shorter guys at my gym have the best body proportions and physiques. They're also super comfortable and confident in themselves, without being aggressive or cocky. I would 100% go out with one of them over one of the super tall stick guys.

Moirine · Answer

I always say men worry themselves about things that don't really matter like  height and p3niz  size. You don't have to make up for it in anything, women  (me)  like nice guys who are thoughtful and have great personalities. Waste of height if your're tall but rude and mean. Most men who are short are nice, have welcoming and warm personalities as compared to their tall counterparts 🚮.

KlinkyCoder · Answer

I think a lot of the dating woes of short guys are because of the popularity of apps, phones and social media, in a counterintuitive sort of way. It was supposed to be the great equalizer and liberator, but it also created new social problems for our species.

I don't know the solution to this other than to improve and try to be the best version of you, but everything else besides that is structural. I know that a lot of guys say they have completely given up which to me indicates that it is not too good out there.

Adventurer23 · Answer

Date someone not of an immaturity level that thinks short guys are somehow inherently "doomed". Pretty simple. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I guess all the married short guys out there were doomed, huh! 🤔 Yeahhhh, not so much. Bottom line is, there's plenty of women out there who either don't mind or simply don't care about a guy's height at all. There's a lid for every pot. Don't let BS on the internet tell you otherwise.

bobalife · Answer

Stop focusing on their heights as a concern and do focus more on what they could bring and a positive attitude. Treat their ladies as queens and let them feel feminine w/o making them feel bad on what they like, wear, or heels. I be seeing short kings with amazing, beautiful women too. No one is bringing them down except their own insecurities and competition mindset. Just be yourself.

What others said already. You're at a good height for many woman.

Confidence, intelligence, life goals, being yourself, being respectful, kind and understanding, funny, those are things that simply attract. A man can be tall and have a greek god body, but if he doesn't have the things mentioned before he'll only get as far as having one night stands.

You just have to be better in all the other areas XD. Everybody has areas where they're not in the top percentile so you just have to work on other things.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Stop being so insecure and blaming your failures on something so meaningless like your height. Frankly, it is embarrassing.

Unit1 · Answer

You tell what short guys can do to better his odds.

Booklover_90 · Answer

Not at all. Unfortunately, height is important to many women and will disqualify good men based on their height. Personally, I’ve never cared. As long as he’s friendly, treats me well and is a gentleman, I don’t care about a man’s height. 😊

It shouldn't matter about the height in the first place becausd like well u should accept ur woman man who she he is by the heart and not by the body

Anonymous · Answer

If you "have had no issues finding a partner", then what is the purpose of this question? You tell us.. Isn't this your "profession"? You claim to be a dating coach (as ridiculous as that sounds), so you why don't you enlighten us with your knowledge?

deus_ex_sisyphus · Answer

The ladies I've met only ever take height into consideration after everything else has been accounted for. I got a guy at my gym whose 6'4" hasn't been on a date in a year and a half - if height was everything he would be killing it.
