I'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.

Most girls might find this question too ridiculous to answer.
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.
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.
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).

Definitely. I'm 5'7. It's not a big deal.

That's still 7" taller than me, so sure.
Of 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.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 -_-
If you're having problems don't blame your height because at 5'9 it's pretty much fine.
Maybe... I don't know, it's a bit short. I'm short, but I would prefer to date someone taller than my mom.
5ft9 would be an ideal height, since I'm 5ft3. My height ranges for guys are from 5ft3 - 6ft4. :)
I don't see why not. It'd certainly be easier for me than my boyfriend's height.
Is 5.9 = 175 cm? If that so you ain't short bro, world's average is 172 cm and u are above of it. I am 182 cm but I didn't see its advantage ever lol.
Depends on the height of the girl, I'm 5'2" so someone 5'9" would still be quite a bit taller
No, I'm taller than 5'9" in heels, and that would be awkward.
No, I would never date a guy shorter than me. I wouldn't date him even if he had millions of dollars.
If he's younger than me and good looking. Also if he is active
I would. That's not even that short to me. I've liked guys around my height (5'2") before.
height isn't really all that... height is extremely overrated
Most girls might say yea sure, but in reality they will never notice you. I know from experiance
My Baby daddy is about 5'9 & we dated for almost 4 years
Yes I would date a 5'9" guy
Sure... I mean he'd be short... but not too short.
