Can a short man (5'4") who looks like this come off as attractive to any woman? If not how can he increase his chances of getting a relationship?

Let's say he has a good salary and interesting hobbies. If he can show that he is hardworking and responsible, will there be women who will like him for who he is and be his wife or girlfriend?

Smile. Like, dude this photo looks like a mugshot or a company badge picture. Style your hair a bit more. Ditch the button up. Thats for work dude. Like, get a nice fitted t shirt, some good shorts (oh please NOT cargo shorts) or jeans. Sunglasses, like ray ban aviators. And some bleu de chanel cologne.

Mix that with a little humor and carefree, chill attitude, and you will be just fine.

Yeah well I was about to go to office therefore my clothes. I look much worse in casual clothing. I look somewhat presentable in work clothes, at least it gives the impression that I am someone important. I am going to fix my hair with the help of a stylist, I am trying to gain weight and I'm going to gym. I don't know how to take a selfie but that's okay, I want to date someone I meet in real life, not through online dating. The thing is it is very hard to maintain your appearance if you have a 50 hour work week. My main problem (what I feel) is that I look like a child. I'm very often mistaken for being a child when I go to the bank or to the hospital. I don't think most women would want to date someone who looks like a kid. My number one priority should be to gain weight to look more mature. Do things like mewing and facial exercises actually work? I have been suggested to also get braces but it might mess up my face even more.

I think you're thinking about it too much man.
Honestly, not to sound weird, but you look a lot like me. I used to lament about lack of female attention. But change my perspective and the problem then became keeping women away.

Women dont base a ton on a guys looks. Shallow ones do, so yes stay away from online dating. It has more to do with how he carries himself. Self confidence will drive your attractiveness. You must understand this. You can do all the stuff we mentioned but if you dont feel confident, women can sniff out your fake ass and you'll come across as a poser. Not attractive.

So build your self esteem and confidence. This comes with being authentic to yourself.

In the Western world there is often a stereotype that a man who has always been single must be some kind of loser who hasn't accomplished anything. I am not at all like that. I have a very good income for my age and many hobbies and all that. I just don't come off as assertive enough. I don't think it's confidence, rather the lack of being dominant within a group. Women may realize that I am passive and meek and coupled with my height this makes me very unattractive, oftentimes the least attractive man in the group. Actually being assertive doesn't really help so much in real life. Even trying to be talkative and dominant instead of my normal self looks unauthentic. That would also basically be putting up an act and compromising on my own values.

Yes, a lot of women look for a man, that is hardworking, responsible and yes this guy is very handsome so women will find him attractive. Also if he is very sweet and caring, he will have no problem finding a girlfriend. But you will want to be patient and also decide who is best for this guy out of the wkrn that are attracted to him, in order to determine who is sincerely interested in him, not just his salary. Tell this guy good luck and i hope he finds his love.

My cousin, who's shorter than me, is on his second girlfriend (he was married, but got divorced from a cheating wife). I'm 5'8".

5'4" might be a challenge, but, I'm sure there's someone out there who would like it

[imjusthereee]

he could definitely find someone as i wouldn’t consider him ugly. but majority of women won’t be into him.

[Asker]

Thank you for your reply. Would you say that a majority of women would not find him physically attractive mainly due to his height or due to his face?

[imjusthereee]

both

[Simslover92]

Yes he certainly can.

[Killsey]

Yes he can.

[Asker]

Personally would you ever consider dating a man who looks like that? I am asking in a completely non-judgemental and objective way. Would he appear more attractive if he is intelligent and has his life in order? Let's say he is an engineer with a good income and is respected in his community.

[Killsey]

This is great. Is this you?

[gothbxtch]

of course!
