What should a short guy (5'6/168cm) do to get girls to like him knowing that he is already in a disadvantage?
wow people can be so superficial. those links made me really sad because I asked one of my guy friends to prom last year and he was short too. I'm 5'0'' and he's 5'2'' and you reminded me of him because one time we were talking and he told me how much his height bothered him (he has some medical condition that means he's done growing)
but he was such a cool guy he went to three proms last year. I asked him to one, he asked his friend, and a friend from outside of school asked him to her school's prom. On top of that, his friend through extracurriculars told him how much she liked him and wanted to go out with him. I liked him too but only asked him as friends because I knew he didn't want a girlfriend, just a lot of close friends. didn't want to freak him out. but what I think made him such a hot date was that he was a gentleman and the life of the party. He always had a smile on his face and made everyone feel so comfortable around him (like awkward silences weren't awkward if that makes any sense) Basically if you have a great personality girls that aren't so caught up in looks will look your way. being a gentleman is always good and it is what makes me wonder what a guy friend would be like as a boyfriend. don't give up hope, there are girls out there who will like you as you are. hope this helps!

Just be confident in who you are, confidence is really such a big big big thing with girls. A lot of short guys night lose girls because they act so self conscious and overly worried about their height. Girls get sick of it just like guys would be annoyed if we are always obsessing and worrying about or weight. Honestly I'm 5'4'' which is average for the girls I hang out with and I don't think any of us would mind dating a guy only two inches taller than we are. It's really not a big deal, it's not like you're only 5'.

hey don't worry about it! I'm really short like 5"1 and my boyfriend is like a inch taller than me! ;) but I like guys who are short don't ask why I just do! I love them to bits, one of my exs was shorter than me but I still thought he was perfect, to me I don't care about the height I care about the person inside the body!
hope I helped :)
It's not you, it's just society being very superficial. Those girls who were like 5'3" that said 5'11" is their minimum make me want to throw up.
I've noticed that in the past few years, the gap between "what a man is" and "what a woman is" is being widened. Men/boys are supposed to be "strong, tall, handsome and muscular" whereas women are supposed to be "short, pretty, flawless, big chested". It's a trend you'll see everywhere... in the behavior of the girls around you, the media, on TV, in Hollywood... et cetera. Society is being sexualized.
I think it's stupid.
What to do? Just act like height isn't a disadvantage to you.
The problem isn't your height, it's their prejudice. You can rest easy knowing that.

The worst thing you can do is let your height take away from your confidence. Girls like to speculate about what their preferred height is, or what their minimum would be, but realistically nobody carries around a tape measure. People are bad at accurately judging height without anything to compare it to.
I'm 5'7" barefoot so I know how you feel, and it is a disadvantage, but it's a bigger disadvantage if you dwell on it. Focus on being all the other things that women look for. Confident, decisive, athletic, funny, smart, etc. And for god's sake, don't develop a napoleon complex and go around trying to prove your manly toughness all the time.

Hey man I'm the exact same height too and I'm 15 soo fingers crossed I'll grow. But have a look at other celebrities too. For example... kendrick lamar... he's also 168 cm. And look at ludacris... he's 172 cm. And girls love both of them man. Just look hot for da girls man. In fact, the #1 fact out of the top 10 is excercise. It makes u confident too. Just like all the other girls said on this site man.
And don't worry about it too much bro.. In fact, focus on what girls find hawt (excluding the height). Well I've already got u started... by the excercise bit.
Hope this helps man -
tht is something ideal
n no one is perfect
by the way I have seen some really short guys ,most of them around 5'6" getting hot blond 6ft chicks.if you think its a problem ,then its gonna stay a problem.
women are only interested in power,status and confidence.
height,looks,etc account only for bout 5 percent of the attraction -
-Be confident. Even if you're 5'6, act like you're 6'3. Never let your height bother you, even if it does on the inside just act like you're confident.
-Dress nicely and be stylish.
-Keep your body in shape.
Look around, haven't you seen short guys with girlfriends and wives before? It's not like all guys under 5'10 are destined to be alone. It's your attitude. Yeah you are at a disadvantage but it doesn't take you out of the game -
you're going to find a lot more girls who are a lot shorter or the same height and some taller! its NO BIG NO B-I-G! :D
Just be confident, height shouldn't matter when it comes to the real deal anyways! -
Exterminate other guys, otherwise, you aren't getting any girls.
