+1 yI'm 5'9". I think like 5'8.9" to be exact. But most women are still shorter than me.
It's kinda of a trade off. It's easier for shorter people to look more muscular in casual clothes. It's easier for taller people to look more professional in a suit. So play to your strengths, if you're shorter than meet women in more casual settings were you're wearing athletic clothes like a party.
Also, choosing the right hair style can help you look an inch or two taller as well. V-Neck or polo/button up shirts with a few of the top buttons undone will make you look a little taller as well.
But still, even at 5'9" some 90% of women are shorter than you, and around 75% are at least 2 inches shorter, and ~60% are at least 4 inches shorter.02 Reply- +1 y
Meant to say meet women at a park in casual\athletic clothes, not that parties are a bad idea either.
Asker+1 yThanks thats useful advice

There's nothing wrong with being 5 foot 9. Don't make the mistake of blaming your lack of success with women on something you can't change. That's what losers do. Whether it's guys with small dicks, a particular ethnicity, height, skin colour, whatever. They find something they don't like about themselves, which they can't change, and decide that that is the most important thing to women everywhere.21 Reply
Asker+1 yIts not a lack of success i just wanna kno if im attractive to females or not
Of course, though I'd probably be hesitant to ask him out or confess in the first place because I'd be taller than him and I've been rejected for my height before.

Would 5’7-5’8 be a deal breaker?
5'9 is not short, it's 175 cm and I personally consider height to be short when it is below 170 cm (below my height, obviously).

+1 yOf course I would. That's pretty tall to me. I'm 5'1" and my boyfriend is 5'7". I still have to tip toe a little to give him kisses.
Maybe you should try going after short girls, because even if you're a short guy you're still tall to us.12 Reply
Asker+1 yDid you meet him in person

Lol yeah, we met many years ago in passing during middle school and we had crushes on each other during high school. We started dating after we graduated because we came across each other again at my friend's birthday.
Am I the only one that thinks 5'9 is actually tall. I mean it wouldn't be much of a feat if you were compared to me, I'm only 5'4, barely getting close to 5'5 -_-

Asker+1 yJudging from the votes nope
If you're having problems don't blame your height because at 5'9 it's pretty much fine.

Dude u dont have to worry about, just buy some Nike airs if u Want to be much taller, it Will at least add u like 2-3 cm and u Will Be like at least 178. Or u can do streching exercises I know a 40 year old guy Who grew up like 2.5 cantimeters, if you are under 25 u can grow at least 4-5 cm with following a great workout routine.

Asker+1 y@Slikmix Its not if you put somebody in front of me who was 5'7 the difference wouldn't be large
- +1 y
The reason why I asked 5'7 is because in the west 5'7 is about average while 5'9 leans towards the taller side. She said 5'9 is short and so I made an attempt to sway a joke in a form of a question. But asker ur real defensive with both ur fists covering ur chin jabbin anyone who opposes.
