Nope, no one is doomed in the dating world in 2024 unless they believe it. Short guys to me are winning in 2024. I've seen a lot of short guys lately with women some of these women being very tall. My best friend is tall and is with a short guy. My boyfriend is short but not shorter than me but he's short for the average guy.
short guys are winning? wow
From what I've seen as of late.
right. its confidence that probably wins those women over. seen it time and again. the less time these short dudes complain or get doomer over their height the more they can focus on themselves and being confident.
Exactly @Still-alive
@Simslover92 not if you look at dating app statistics…most women go after tall men…
If autistic, down syndrome and paraplegic people can find love, then anyone can find love. I've seen on that YT show I think called Tru and on Netflix it happen for them. I don't think anyone is doomed in finding love. Maybe some might believe they are and refuse to give love a chance, but I don't think that qualifies them to be doomed. So short guys have no excuse not to find love when there are so many disadvantaged people finding love.
But not everyone gets the same outcome. Besides death and taxes there are no guarantees in life. Life isn't a Disney movie where everyone can have a happy ending. There's plenty of good people out there who never find anyone and there's plenty of shitty people out there in relationships who dont deserve them. The world isn't just
@Billlewis Stars who had status and money. You have to factor those things in
Thanks for MHO!
@Billlewis Money & status
I wonder if him not being shorter than you was why you are with him in the first place.
No, if you're handsome and boyish as am I.
@wowop99266 No if he was my height or shorter I would still be with him. It's about who he is, not his height.
Only if you listen to asshat idiots on here 🤣
hey hey whoa easy now ha ha ha
@coachTanthony "Brain' meant no offense, coach LOLOLO
@Bricealan She is out of control she needs to be stopped lol
@coachTanthony just try to stop me (insert evil laugh)😆 🤣
It's not just on here. I have spoken with many women who say "they have a height requirement" which even if they don't stick with is truly discouraging.
@The_Canddyman And many men have a "Fat" requirement. I say to each their own.
@The_Canddyman and I work work a lot of short and average height men, most with girlfriends/wives… again don’t believe everything you hear online whether it’s coming from asshat women or men 🤷♀️
@Brainsbeforebeauty…ok but compare the wives/girlfriends of tall men compared to short men…you can tell who is settling and who isn’t…
@JHAYES317 How can one tell who is settling and who isn't?
@MysteriousDarkness if the guy is at least average looking but he’s with an obese woman
@JHAYES317 except that’s not always the case now is it 🤷♀️ who’s swelling tho, the people that are with people just for their looks or even more stupid just because they’re tall 🤷♀️ or the people that look past that to find a true connection 🤷♀️
*settling not swelling lol
Thanks for mh
@JHAYES317 I have met good looking people that came across as boring, bitchy, narcissistic, controlling etc. How someone looks and how they are as a person does not always go hand in hand.

A man cannot control his height if he is full grown but he can control how much sympathy and kindness he shows other people. I believe a man that shows mercy and kindness towards others, will be viewed as a man of status and stature, even if he is short. I know a very short guy that is unbelievably intelligent, and I view him the way I would view a 6"6 guy. He has a woman already so he is not a romantic interest, but I respect I'm in a distant and non communicative way.
It really depends on multiple circumstances. Dating apps might be fine as long as the short man in question has a perfect face and does not meet up in real world, though I guess that last part renders this method useless. Generally speaking, any attempt to find a real-life girlfriend at random is extremely likely to end in a failure for a short man in the West these days. However, with some research and a targeted, informed approach, the search might still yield satisfying results. However, it might be hard to actually get through to women with low (or rather "short") expectations. Most of them would likely have low self-esteem themselves, and thus they would probably avoid leaving their houses, so it would probably be the easiest to find them through some niche forums on the internet. However, these lucky short men would still have to make up for their substandard height with confidence and an ability to deal with virtually any crisis they are confronted with, and high financial/social status would be an important advantage. They would also have to be wary of predators preying on the desperate (I guess high confidence, bordering narcissism, would help a lot in this case). Basically, they would have to hold onto every single advantage they have in order to compensate for their substandard height. The more they allow their potential girlfriends to get attached to their strong but kind characters before revealing their looks, the better.
On the other hand, if it turns out to be too hard to find a girlfriend in the West, the more affluent among the short men can always try their luck outside of the West. For example, people in Asia are apparently shorter in general, so Asian women would likely have "shorter" expectations as well. Is it unethical? Somewhat. If it works, however, it's worth giving it a try if nothing else works.
Thus, short men are not doomed in the dating world in 2024 and are unlikely to be absolutely doomed in the foreseeable future (especially as the war that's currently brewing might heavily limit the supply of men in general, driving the demand for even the short men up in the process). It simply depends on how determined they are and how broad their definition of "world" is.
I agree with that one comment I was, you’re only doomed in you’re short and listen to some of these other comments on here.
I’m 5’7, which I’m sure is considered being on the “shorter” end for guys and my dating life has been just fine, going a year strong in my current relationship.
Yeah, not being tall might mean you got less options but it don’t mean you don’t have any and the mentality of you thinking that you don’t have options just because your short is what’s gonna keep you alone.
Who was that guy? Oh yea, Hugh Hefner. Short guy. Probably banged thousands of chicks. Maybe tens of thousands. Did I mention he was short? OK, not super short, but below average.
If a guy is not getting a girl it is NOT because he is short. In going on 12 years on this site there is only one guy I convinced of that. Most have their minds made up that they can't get a girl because they are short. That is not the reason, so they need to look elsewhere.
lmfao...
rebranding BS as 2024's new stuff... lol
Just wait until 2025
hopefully so...
Doomed may be a bit of a strong word but I think it's more difficult than ever for them... at least in the past they had a chance to make up for it with their personality etc. Today more and more people meet though dating apps where they can be ruled out before even talking to a girl.
Maybe on dating apps where women can and do select for men only 6 feet or taller.
Otherwise, no. Short dudes can still successfully pick up and date chicks if they don't let dating insecurities or other things mess with their confidence.
Men discriminated smart successful woman yiur age. Yet guys your age go off dating Younger woman 😡😡😡😡😡
@NYlatefun This individual and I we been at it each other throats for over since the pandemic I think. I says that woman his agebare way to old for him.
@NYlatefun hey man, I am not going to comment on this thread any further due to this individual. You can believe what you want, I don't care. Have a good day, man.
Hey, my ex from Japan is short but I don't say all Japanese people are short, no.. but even though he's short, he's very smart, calm, patience and very kind.. I love him.. he's my first love, so for me appearance are not important at all.. they are not doomed.. they can't control their height, WE can't control our height..
@sakurayuki0629 appearance is not important at all? Oof…so you’re saying short men can’t be attractive?
@JHAYES317 yes
Lol if you think like that then go ahead haha I have no desire to argue with someone like ya, bye
They are not doomed. I would say they have a smaller dating pool though. Remember dating is all about making yourself attractive to another person. Some people are not Into short people. Same rules when it comes to race and size tho.
Preferences work on both sides 100
I have short friends who do well with dating, yet are not 10/10 looking guys. They dress well, are fun to be around, and put themselves out there. Sure, being short hurts their chances, but they never let it hold them back.
The only place I see that focuses so much on height is the internet. In real life, no one cares unless you are on an extreme end of the height spectrum.
No, as long as you got great personality traits and look decent enough the height doesn't matter in the long run. Not to say that some women won't care about height, but I think most won't even really think about your height.
Ok but me your age go off daing younger woman😡😡😡😡😡😡 FYI 31 is not old!!!
@Alwayreckles93 Huh? Who said 31 is too old? I most certainly didn't. Hell if your 31 that's pretty much my age already as i'm 32. And if anyone else said that 31 is too old their bullshitting.
Would you mind not to used profanity. I seebyou dont follow Christia standers.
@Alwayreckles93 No I don't follow Christian standards if that's what you meant to say as i'm not a Christian. Also I can use profanity if I want to. It's a free country. I didn't know you were the language police.
@Alwayreckles93 Also if you're saying that I don't follow Christian standards in relation to me cursing, I don't recall the Bible saying anything about not using profanity. The only thing related to swearing that the Bible mentions is not using the Lord's name in vain.
Yoy are not even christian I bet not once you grab the bible in your existence and you are relling me a goid devoted christian that I don't know the bible scriptures. Here let me get some useful information for you since you want bethe smart one.
Ephesians 5:4
was also influential in persuading me to stop cussing: “Obscene and foolish talking or crude joking are not suitable, but rather giving thanks.” Once again, context is key for understanding the meaning of this text.
@Alwayreckles93 hey there's far worse things you can do than curse. I bet you do a lot worse than curse and yet you're coming to me lecturing me about cursing? I'll tell you something, I'm the kind of guy that would give you the damn shirt off my back, would grab water to put you out if you were on fire, I volunteer at the homeless shelters every weekend but I guess I'm a bad person according to your almighty Bible because I curse huh? If you wanna talk about the Bible to me, remember this, GOD is judge, not you. So stop judging me and mind your own damn business. Get it? Got it? Doubt it.
@Alwayreckles93 oh and another thing, go lecture someone else on here about the Bible who actually gives a damn about anything you gotta say.
@Alwayreckles93 and another thing, I have grabbed a Bible in my existence as I used to be a Christian but turned away from the religion. It's people like you who are so quick to judge others and force your religion down peoples throats that have people looking at Christianity sideways. 🤦♂️
@Alwayreckles93 also if you wanna talk to me about language I'll talk to you about your spelling. Learn to spell correctly and I'll stop cursing, deal? You wanna police me on my language, I'll police you on your spelling.
Wait you help out at shelters? Youcattended christian. Oh Goodness I feel guilty. I am very very sorry. I had a bad impression on you just for one bad word you used. I am very sorry In some what you do have a point.
Yes I have a hard time with forgiveness chances are you will go to heaven. Not me I doubt it I don't speak to my sister half of my family I don't speak yes you are right that is way worse holding hate is way worst then profanity.
@Alwayreckles93 yes I help out at shelters. I try to do my part to help people. I know my language isn't the best but that doesn't make me a bad guy. Also I'm sure you probably have your reasons for not talking to your sister or half of your family. If their toxic you might need to stay away from them for a time. But try to let go of any hate that you feel for them. Not for their sake but for your own. Keep your soul as clean as possible.
I’m saying no because there are people who do not mind dating shorter. Of course that’s not always the case but a little optimistic. Plus there are shorter women too.
Coach, 'short' is relative, in that I am just bout 5'8" and have dated women that were taller than I... but there are a TON of women who are far shorter than I, and there is no shortage of women that size. I had one or two girlfriend's that were 4'10"
I always thought that if you were a shorter man all you had to do was find a girl shorter than you. No problem!
No. One of my friends is 5'4 and has no problems because he is funny and outgoing. And there seem to be quite a few ladies who do not want us guys over 6' tall. But the question does remind me of a silly meme.
Short men have never been "doomed" in the dating world. Lmao
if you make your entire personality about being short, then you are. but otherwise, focus on what you can bring on the table instead of sulking about things you can't do.
Depends how short, the shorter they are the less options but it really depends on personality if the woman is willing to get to know them, there is only so many guys over 6 foot and not enough to go around for the amount of women that prefer that height, I’m not considered tall but I’m not short so it’s never really affected me except on dating apps where I see them mention that
It's as hopeless as the guy thinks it is. Sure there will be girls with a preference for tall guys, but you don't want someone that superficial anyway.
But I have seen many short guys in happy relationships.
@Brainsbeforebeauty is right
Well I noticed guys are more focus on womans age. Rather then a womans hieght.
@JHAYES317 So you dont like a xertain type?
I don’t know why there are men out there who are still dating? Are you guys just dating for sex? You’re making the rest of us look bad which is why we’re either not dating or seeking relationships outside of the country.
That’s what everyone tells me. Good thing I am I’m starting to get through to my therapist That he should divorce his wife
Why wouldn’t I be serious?
Why indeed. Maybe because he agrees with the things I’m telling him and it’s making so much sense it’s getting him to think about things outside of our sessions.
Why would I lie?
He doesn’t have to take advice from me. I’m not giving him advice. Simply talking to him about the true nature of women gets him to think and there not he thinks about what we talk about the closer he gets to divorcing his wife. He’ll bring something up to her and she’ll express her opinion and they’ll start arguing. Boom, seeds have been sewn. The process has already begun.
Him: one of my clients showed me a video today where another therapist explains why women don't apologize and honestly it made a lot of sense... Why am I the one always apologizing for things you do?" https://youtu.be/QnMvAZJr2NU?si=MnEw6fKDicIP6Hqx
Not doomed but they’re just not gunna have women throw themselves at them like the way tall guys get.
Doomed. If they were doom there wouldn't be any children that grew up to be short men. Disabled people are more likely to be doomed.
@dustybiker2 that’s not how genetics work…you can grow up short if your great grandfather was short…
Not "always" how it works. If someone grows up short someone short in the family tree, at some point, was lucky with the fairer sex.
@dustybiker2 but that could have been 100 years ago lol. 100 years ago women didn’t have a height fetish like they do today lol
That is the point. Short men have sex too.
They are not thus doomed
@dustybiker2 I mean 60% of 18 - 29 y/o guys are currently not having sex from what stats suggest and of the 40% who are most of them are avg height or tall… so I’d say you are wrong…
I don't believe bogus statistics. So no. I do not believe that.
5'1" maybe. I'm only 5'9"... life's not that bad. Guess it's all relative as to what we're calling "short."
@_Maya_ They have a shorter stride... harder to run away from me that way
Nah short guys can still easily find a girl
@Apple1996 false I get hardly any matches on dating apps
@JHAYES317 what's your height
@Apple1996 well on dating apps I put 4’11”…
@JHAYES317 lol is that your real height tho?
@Apple1996 ok no, I’m like 5’6” - 5’7” maybe…but still lol
@JHAYES317 that height is still good tho
@Apple1996 ok yes fine I’m not the best example…that’s why I gave you 4’11” to prove that a guy that short could not easily find a girl into him…
@JHAYES317 4'11 is still taller than me so I'd date him
@Apple1996 I didn’t say impossible but the shorter you get the less options you have so to say they can EASILY find a girl is absurd unless you tell them to go for morbidly obese women
@JHAYES317 in some areas obese women are highly desired. It's that way in my town 😂
@Apple1996 it’s not the Middle Ages…being fat is not a sign of wealth anymore lol…
@JHAYES317 a lot of guys are just into it. My husband got made fun of at his work for having a "skinny wife" (I'm not that skinny just average size by the way)
@Apple1996 a lot of guys like curvy…but there’s a difference between curvy or “thicc” (like Kim K) and fat (like Lizzo)
@JHAYES317 these guys would die for lizzo
@JHAYES317 it seems I only meet guys online that like skinny women
@Apple1996 as they should…skinny is healthier usually…not anorexic skinny though
@JHAYES317 I disagree but okay lol
@Apple1996 I mean most doctors would agree it’s better to be skinny than fat…unless you are talking malnourished skinny
@JHAYES317 it's acutally healthier to be slightly overweight. More likely to survive most health issues that way. If a normal bmi than a person is more at risk of dying from a health issue
@JHAYES317 bmi is also just not accurate for a good amount of people so the "slightly overweight" people probably are really average
@Apple1996 source?
@JHAYES317 you are free to look it up. Lots of articles about it. My doctor was acutally the one who told me about this
@JHAYES317 body fat is protective
@Apple1996 yeah obviously you need some body fat…but if you have too much it increases risk of diabetes
I don't like short women who are less than 161 centimeters tall, they are completely unattractive to me.
Doomed? No. But they are more likely to be cheated on/lead on in relationships and more likely to have to date down (I. e. date a woman much fatter, uglier, mentally ill etc)
Nah if I can get someone I'm sure someone else can whether they're short or not
Not if they are wealthy
I mean it does help
The best example is Daniel Hernandez 6ix9ine. He is just 5 feet 7 (165-172 cm) ( www.celebheights.com/s/-Tekashi-6ix9ine-51626.html ) but he got many girls. It's not hard to figure out why.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdVknLqOM9A
Tom Cruise is 5'8 and 60 years old dating a model half his age so yeah I get it
I'm 5'9" and can't count the times good-looking women have approached me in bars and other places.
If you're a short guy, the only way you can date is if you're wealthy, and even then she's going to cheat
This again? Why can’t y’all give this a rest already? 🙄
Until women stop having an overwhelming requirement for tall men, no.
@wowop99266 We will once y’all start dating fat women. Until then, we won’t stop. Sound fair? 🤷♀️
I wouldn't have a problem dating fat women. That doesn't mean I would aim for fat women exclusively.
Because I'm attracted to all sorts of women? That is what being heterosexual is, I wouldn't expect women to understand though.
Absolutely you should. But preferences and requirements are not the same thing. A woman being a certain weight or a certain height would not affect my ability to be attracted to her, because, again, that's what being heterosexual is.
No, not necessarily. Women are more on the asexual spectrum, because you can't be physically attracted to a man unless under very specific and unique circumstances. That is not heterosexual.
Not saying you have to be attracted to ALL men, but your threshold of attraction would be much more broader or flexible as that or even closer to that of a man's attraction to women. You would also base your attraction to men based on an individual and not a collective.
Dude, in 5'11 and my boyfriend is 5'4...
Never been obese. Not even remotely close to it either. I make more than he does. I'm still girly, cook and wear dresses... I'm not so superficial that I'd overlook a good match just because he's short.
@Sirenboobzilla wow ok, you’re a unicorn haha. Respect (I’m short myself so not hating on short kings at all)
Oh, sure, hang on *shoes undeniable proof*
If you are a short guy you had better get your money up and master game.
Only as doomed as the rest of us.
Nah, I don’t think they’re doomed but a good number of women do prefer taller guys.
All men are doomed in this world
Only to morons on g@g.
they aren't doomed
I get dates np but I mog. If I was tall I'd be getting casual sex left and right
nope cause we can always find a short girl as well
I LOVE short men!
Who do dates in 2024 ?
Yes, they are. Clearly.
Definitely not. No one is doomed.
Bull 💩, my boyfriend is 5’3
@localsapphire87 are you obese though?
@JHAYES317 Is your mom?
@JHAYES317 Well, there you go. Now quit asking women that 🙄
@JHAYES317 I figured if you’re asking women about their weight, I thought I ask about your mom’s. Because, why not? 🤷♀️
@JHAYES317 So, since your mom is skinny, she married and had kids with a tall man?
@Peridot25 she did yes. My dad is over 6 ft. I would have been over 6 ft if not for a growth disorder
@JHAYES317 And you hate your mom being with your dad?
@Peridot25 not at all lol…in fact I was pissed at her when she was seeing guys behind his back
@JHAYES317 See? She’s skinny and a cheating hoe. I guess skinny women can be ugly at times, don’t ya think?
@Peridot25 I didn’t say I would date a woman just because she was skinny. She’d have to have a good personality. Tbh I don’t care if they are skinny they just can’t be way fatter than me…
There's someone out there for everyone
Define short. Under 6 feet?
It is a sad fact.
No, only short personalities.
It's silly...
No i date short men
