Does height truly matter?

[Anonymous]

I’ve got 2 friends, 1 is 5,8 tanned and has a pretty face and the other is 5,7 with similar features. They’ve got okay bodies nothing crazy.

I’m 6 foot but admittedly not better looking, I just find they they get wayyyyy more attention than me.

I think it matters, just not as much as we all think. For example, I have a friend who's been tall his entire life. He hit 6 feet when he was twelve, and now he's 6 foot 8. We've all known each other since we were little kids, and are family friends, so despite living far apart, we visit every year. Each time, I'm momentarily shocked by how tall he is. Then, by day 2 of our visit, I'm so used to it, it's almost like he shrinks. The thing is, after someone reaches 6 feet, they're just tall. Like, looking at three guys in sequence, I won't be able to immediately tell who's five foot eleven, who's 6 feet, and who's six foot four unless they stand shoulder to shoulder. And you get so used to people, they're height really ceases to mean anything at all.

It matters to some shallow people but ultimately what's gonna land you a solid partner is passable looks (not model looks, just not dog ugly) and a good personality. How you treat someone can go a long way into landing you a partner. The looks are just to help get you in to talking to them, but even that can be countered with a good personality.

Yeah I’ve kinda come to the conclusion that I’m just not as good looking as my friends, they’re 5,7/5,8 and in all honesty they’ve done well for themselves (Spanish genes too). I’ve just got to work on myself and be patient

If you have a good sense of humor, that could help you break the ice with a potential partner

It's true that if all things were equal, girls will be more attracted to the tall guy, but there are so many factors that you can work on to boost your odds.

And if you're very good, successful, and the girl still picks the tall guy, just for that reason, move on, she isn't worth your time.

Before you say "that's easy for you to say", I'm 5'9", which is as average as it gets. You can't change your height, so get over it, embrace the inches that you do have, and develop your skills in other areas

I don’t really care that much. Unless someone is extremely tall, then it’s inconvenient. My boyfriend is 5’6

It matters to a lot of people.

I guess with my situation, I consider my friends very good looking guys, they’re both Spanish and get told they look great everyday. So I guess if a short guy is truly up there with looks they can neutralise it lol.

I guess I just need to be patient

Yes, patience is important
