Hello TRP,
I am what you would consider short. I'm 5'5 barefoot, 5'6 in shoes, and roughly 5'6.5~5'7 in boots. So, while I am not extraordinarily tiny, I am no giant either. Height seems to be a dilemma for a lot of men, and I thought that I would share my advice and perspective as a below-average individual. Let me just say that there is a very good chance you might not agree with everything I have to say, which is fine, these are my own perspectives and nuggets of information and you are free to do with them as you see fit. The purpose of this is, however, to give you the most honest input that I can about the realities of being short and what you can hope to expect.
• I figured I would start out with the most polarizing of statements, but also one which I also feel needs to be said: Being a short man is hard. It is not easy. The deck of life is stacked against you. There are real, tangible benefits to being tall. If you were to ask a short person why they want to be taller, it isn't "just because" or "I want to see from a slightly higher perspective" -- it's because going from short to tall is an objective improvement socially. I do not care if you disagree with this, because if you do, you are wrong. You are wrong like someone who believes that the Earth is flat is wrong. There is a very good reason why certain subreddits dedicated to those of taller stature are considered a whimsical, jovial place to be and those of less than average height are a cesspit of depression and self-hatred. We live in a society where tall is good and short is bad. It is not going to be easy. It is going to hurt. You are going to have to try harder. That's just the way it is.
• Height issues, predominantly, affect men. Women always find themselves butting into the conversations of male height-related matters, and it will always perplex me as to why. "Short women have it bad too!" No. A short woman is valued far more in the sexual marketplace than a short man, and that is the stone cold truth. The issues women face with regards to their height might as well be a drop in a swimming pool compared to what men face. Don't believe me? If it affected women to nearly the magnitude which men are affected, height discrimination/short shaming/whatever you want to call it would be ostracized like fat shaming is. Which brings me to:
• Do not expect women to understand or empathize with your predicaments as a short man. Society, at worst, actively encourages height shaming, and at best, placates it and allows it to continually fester. And that's because, as stated above, it does not affect women. If someone can make you the butt of a joke to get a cheap laugh in, and they suspect that you're a chump who will take it, they will do it, especially if they are with their friends. Never take this personally. Many people do not know what they want. For a lot of them, their lives are wrought with insecurity and frustration, which is why so many of them are miserable, and sometimes this anger/impoliteness spills out onto you. Which means...
• The worst thing you can do is to get aggressive about your height. Being labeled for your height is literally no different than being labeled for your skin color. Someone implying that a short man is aggressive because of his height is just as rotten as someone who implies that a black person is aggressive because "it's just how they are." Society, once again, actively condemns one but makes light of the other (The Napoleon Complex). There is no reason to become upset over small-minded people making small-minded comments. It will only come back to bite you in the ass. I cannot stress this enough, be unreactive when someone makes negative comments about your height. I have been with and dated women who, upon first interaction, had made comments about my height, and because I didn't lose my cool, I was able to take them to bed and prove to them that it didn't bother me. That isn't to say you don't stand up for yourself -- having a spine is very important. But one of the difficulties you will face as a short man is needing to control your temper. You will have a target on your back, and spazzing out will only reinforce the notion that short men are aggressive and angry.
• Wearing shoe lifts is no different than wearing makeup. If you feel comfortable wearing lifts in your shoes then fucking do it. Especially if you're going out to a club. Do whatever makes you feel more confident and happy. There is nothing wrong with boosting your height, especially when the fashion and cosmetics industry makes money hand over fist because women are so desperate to hide their imperfections. Just be aware of what this implies: if you think there's nothing wrong with being short, and you are wearing shoe lifts, you are lying to yourself. I am not in the position to tell anyone what they must do, but it is something to consider. Likewise, shoe lifts are not very pragmatic, and will often be uncomfortable after a couple of hours. If you do want to try them, I suggest wearing them for a limited amount of time to gauge how they fit and if it's something you wish to invest in. Frankly, this is 100% a personal decision on your part, and I feel as though it's unfair for men to have to be "boxed in" height-wise where their attempts to be taller are met with scorn while women can literally paint a new face onto themselves.
• Women do not fawn after tall men because they are better protectors, they fawn over them because of the sexual implication. 'Tall man' is a coded phrase for 'big dick.' As stated in my opening paragraph, short men are just as capable of having large packages, but it is a stigma perpetrated by society and people continue to buy into it. The idea is that, if he's a big guy, surely he'll be proportional elsewhere. Furthermore, women, especially short women, want to be dominated sexually. A tall man can pick up and throw women around in the bedroom in a way that short men, simply put, cannot. If a woman were that adamant about being protected, she would carry around a gun. Hell, the average height for a Navy SEAL is 5'9-5'10. Tall men are a sexual thrill and women are too coy to say otherwise. And if they do try to refute this, feel free to remind them of how 50 Shades of Grey, the story of how a young woman is dominated by an attractive, tall, alluring businessman, is one of the most profitable books of the last 50 years.
• Being fit/attractive/well-dressed helps tremendously, but it is not a cure-all. A woman who is steadfast about not dating short men is not going to suddenly reconsider you because you have big arms and visible abs or piercing blue eyes. Some will, certainly, but becoming fit and taking care of yourself doesn't tear down walls, rather, it allows you to throw out a slightly larger net. In any case, I would consider weightlifting and being fit as a goal for you and you alone. If you do it, do it because it feels good and it makes you feel more confident, not because it increases your chances of getting laid.
• Women are entitled to their preferences. Let me say that again: women are allowed to have preferences. Women are also allowed to have requirements. You should not feel bad about having requirements, nor should you feel bad about not meeting someone else's. One of my requirements is that my partner isn't hooked on a heavy narcotic. Whether their requirements/preferences are extraordinarily strict or not is entirely dependent upon their own personal beliefs, values, and goals. Do not be upset if you do not fit these. It has nothing to do with you. If you see a tall girl while you're cruising Tinder who has a bio that says "no shorties," do not be offended by it. Many women have height preferences, and about half of those are actually height requirements (i.e must be no shorter than x'y). Unfortunately, because of social conditioning, they are pretty much allowed to say whatever they like about short men and they will most likely get away with it. This is one area in which men need to harden up. You will not be everyone's cup of tea and that is completely okay.
• I wanted to save this one for last, because I think it's probably the most important. You have to accept reality and learn love yourself. You are a human being and you have value. Nobody has the right to make you feel as though you are less of a person just because you don't tower over someone else. Find your hobbies, find your passions, set goals, make connections, experience heartbreak, improve yourself, and live a rich, fulfilling life. As soon as you're born you start dying, and nothing in the world can stop that clock. Life is what you make of it, and you have to find your own meaning. Do not let anything hold you back. You deserve the best. Much love, guys. Shortandspicy out.
cnctec90 6y ago
Well, I didn't agree with any of this. Really women fawn over tall men because it's code for a big dick? I don't agree with the protector argument either but that's one hell of a stretch. You can't tell me that when young women I mean junior high age who are talking about how attractive a male is and bring up their height they are using code to talk about the size of his dick.........that's certainly not true. I think it has way more to do with how being with a larger man makes them feel. For instance I've had a lot of ex's upon meeting me say things like omg I'd break you ( meaning I weigh more than you and that makes me feel insecure ) women a lot of times feel massive next to short men and has everything to do with their own self-esteem about how they look. Women want to feel small, they don't want to feel tall and fat, and being next to a man who is not only shorter than them but skinnier as well when they have self-esteem issues already is a recipe for disaster. However I am not saying this is applied to every woman who dates tall men, but I think the psychology behind this is far more complex than what you gave it credit for. I find it interesting that your entire post was mostly sex based which reads like only a male perspective on this since we males are mostly sex minded when it comes to relationships, that's a real truth. I'd be open to having a greater dialogue about this, I just think you're off on a lot of your points.

im not a short guy, but i have seen it with my own two eyes. Tall guy shows up to the dance floor, girls flock to him. Even guys that don't want to dance i've seen girls approach and just grind on them.
Height is not the most important thing in the world, WE ALL KNOW THAT, but to deny that it doesn't suck.....it just means you're a nice guy who doesn't want to believe the world can be so lopsided in SMV like that.
height, money, cool car, etc .....those are things that throw the SMV balance off the chart. Not in any situation of course, but in a meat market...dayum. I wish i was a lil bit taller......but if you can't grow taller, grow bigger.
brotein_synthesis 6y ago
This is a quality post and it should be put on the sidebar.
At 5'9, 6' in oxfords, I don't feel I have it that bad because I'm always in the middle height-wise but within a group of men in my city pretty much everywhere I am still the shortest.
Taller and better built men would implicitly or openly disrespect me even though I make three times what they do and that makes me angry enough to lift and consider a serious martial art as well. You can be short or rather ''not tall'' and still not take shit from anyone. This is key.
Put it this way: if you're short, try being more like Floyd Mayweather and less like Elijah Wood. As much as possible actually.

Very good post. Sums it up really good. In the end, for my opinion, height is an extremely important factor for first impression on a girl. You can almost never compensate height with anything else.
What im a little concerned about is, at least where i live, that the height standards of girls pretty much rise every year and are getting out of control. I am at least 6'2" guy, was measured 6'2" and 6'3" repeatedly but im already too short for quite a lot of women around here. When women say they want a tall guy then they mean 6'4"+ which is just around 5% of the population. In my opinion the cravings of women for the ever more extreme rises basically all the time...
ncstaterepted 6y ago
Dude, what about the athletic benefits of being short? Speed, explosiveness, less distance for the muscle to work. Your lifts will get bigger faster, and your body will rip out faster, as a short man.
Ya'll are totally more athletic and require less mobility work than tall dudes, albeit tall dudes do have their place in sports as well.
Shorter dudes are more grounded, faster on the sprint, faster on the pivot and rotation, stronger on the big lifts, and more explosive than tall dudes.
But, if you don't care about performing well athletically... and you are only griping about being short in the sexual market place, then IDK what to tell you. You get ripped faster.
juiceboxguy85 6y ago
I love this article. This guy fucks! At 5'7" I am mostly invisible to women in public. However, for some reason about 10% of women are into me (my first wife was 5'10" and a stone cold 9). I just learned to go after the hottest of that 10% and not worry about what I cannot have. I love TRP. I don't even care when women cheat on me anymore because I know they will at some point (my experience and confirmation bias on TRP), and I will just get a new and younger one when they do. Although I'm up there at 52yo so I figure I only have maybe 10 years left as a player. Spinning 5 plates at any given time after 3 years of lurking on TRP. A plate breaks and I just get a new one. Thanks TRP and my fellow TRPers.

I forgot to mention, if you are a short guy and a woman gives you shit about her height, acknowledge it and come back with "yeah I'm short, but I'm taller on my back". Works well for me.

actually this is bullshit. they did a study turns out it's your height at 15 which implies it's actually your confidence. taller dudes tend to be more confident. case closed.
Cthula-Hoops 6y ago
I could also see not being taken seriously a problem too. I've caught myself doing it to be honest. Short men are simply not as imposing so whatever they say has no authority from a biological standpoint. We are still animals after all and just because somebody has appointed authority over you doesn't mean it registers on the level of male competition.
MormonRedPill 6y ago
Probably the most important point. She is and always will be operating under a different paradigm.
If a woman were that adamant about getting food, she would become a hunter. Neither of those statements are true. Humanity is a sexually dimorphic species, each sex specializing in different areas, selecting for those sundry specializations in the opposite sex.
If 20,000 BC you gets in a fight with some 6'3 dude and you're 5'6, you're probably gonna get your skull caved in by troglodyte club. Your woman suddenly is stripped of her access to resources. She and your proto-family might die. When we were developing there were no office politics, Wall Street wolves, or nimble-minded tycoons. You lived in groups of maybe 100, and you died alone. That instinct is still programmed into her—that primal nagging that a short man represents a physical risk. It's your job to convince her you're worth the risk (or more appositely, that you're devoid of that risk).

BatemaninAccounting 6y ago
FYI you aren't entirely correct(at least how I think you're thinking about sexual dimorphism). In early hominids, though, sexual dimorphism may have been more pronounced. Studies of Paranthropus robustus, which appeared around two million years ago, suggest that males were significantly bigger than females. This may have reflected polygamy – harem building, as seen in today’s silverback gorillas. The ratios are greater in some primates (gorillas have values of about 84!), but if they’re greater than 1, there’s room for sexual selection, since there are more males seeking females than there are females available as mates. Human sexual body size dimorphism (male/female ratio) is on average 1.15, though depending on the location values range from 1.09-1.28.
So... yeah. This is a complex subject and we're still learning stuff about it, but humans are very low on the sexual dimorphism scale in terms of biology.
hiddenpleasures123 6y ago
I think an interesting way to look at it too is... The genetic for being short survived somehow. Human beings evolved enough to kill predators that would shred a barehanded 6'3 human.
The 5'6 man had a lower center of gravity, better stamina, required less food and was quicker. 5'6 guy given the right weapon, the reach and size that the 6'3 guy had was no longer important. How relevant was the lower center of gravity? The short guy could change directions quicker, had better balance over poor ground. He was also a smaller target. They were also superior climbers because of their lower body weight.

No that’s incorrect. Back when we had to hunt and gather, being tall would have made you more sexually attractive but also requires more calories to feed you. So there is an evolutionary trade-off.

Hunter gatherer humans lived in tribal groups that actually acted in a way that modern man would recognize as communistic. It wasn’t a bunch of families in their own caves fending for themselves, lol. Having your tribe get raided is a bigger issue than some tribal bully. There were social standards within the tribe.
Big game is hunted and he kill is shared with everyone
Alpha_CyPha 6y ago
Thank god as humans we have grown away from communistic systems.
DrankOfSmell 6y ago
I mean it’s the best system for hunter-gatherers who need to work together to survive who don’t have an economy, but it’s not the best system for agriculture based societies. You were born and raised in an agricultural society, but if somehow you found yourself living in a Hunter-gatherer tribal group with no civilization to be seen, you’d just be a selfish cunt with this train of thought, and few would like you. Be adaptive.
Thank god humans mastered agriculture and industry. Moving away from a communistic approach is just the side effect, not the point.

So yeah, no need for convincing anyone.. have confidence.. be a MGTOW.. and enjoy what you are great at..
If hunting pussies is your thing do it without lowering your value.. If it's not your thing, then buy it.. it's more efficient..

MGTOW is a logical paradox is you think about it.
If you were a Man going you're own way, you'd just do it, and not sit around in a group of other Men complaining about how much you want to go your own way whilst at the same time slagging off Women and other people who still like Women.
I visited that place briefly, and what I found wasn't a bunch of Men discussing stuff other than Women, it was a bunch of Men discussing how shit Women are, and how crap Chads are, and blah blah blah.
I stuck around, tried to change the place, but it was full of bitterness and resentfulness. So I left, and decided to change myself instead, hence why I took the red pill.
If you're on the fence about it, just ake the fucking red pill, or go back to your bitter little club of Men claiming they don't need Women whilst constantly talking about Women.
Flintblood 6y ago
The red pill is not about “changing yourself”. It’s about waking up to the harsh reality of the true nature of the world. Waking up to the fact that you have been ensnared by the matrix all this time.
I support becoming the best person possible, but do it for yourself. Don’t “change yourself“; just maximize your potential. However, changing, learning “game“, and doing all these other things that require you to change your identity (not be yourself) are very rooted in a blue pill mentality. You’re learning to put on a show, and put on an act to please a woman’s expectations of being entertained. When you play those games, you are not holding frame; you are entering a woman’s frame. But I suppose it all depends on how you define “the game“. Yes, everyone should get in better shape, dress smarter, get better with their money, improve their life, have hobbies, and become more emotionally and socially intelligent to increase their success in all facets of life. If that is game then and that’s all it is, that’s cool. But I think we have seen that “game“ is more about saying and doing things that get and keep a woman’s attention, and those things are usually not necessarily rooted in your own interests and hobbies, or even about mutually shared interests and deeper topics.
I like to think that I take a middle road with all of this. There’s a lot of good advice and writing here about maximizing your potential, and I definitely except the knowledge on how to build a better body a better mind and how to hold frame. But I draw the line at the PUA stuff which has infested this subReddit.
Aufbruch 6y ago
You're correct. Most MGTOW folks do end up making women a larger part of their thoughts and energy than most Blue Pills do. It's like if the Catholic priesthood did nothing but talk about how awesome they were because of their celibacy.
CursingWhileNursing 6y ago
Nice try. MGTOW is not about complaining, it's about realising that the game is rigged against you and that the only winning move is not to play. Most MGTOW I know would still love to be with someone, alas, society has created rules that are always biased against men. Even more so, it happily created more discrimination on a daily basis and calls this "equality".
And yes, I can walk away and still complain, smartypants. Because I want things to change for the better.
I don't want to have children when according to german law, I am not even allowed to make a paternity test, but are forced to pay for the child; even if I can prove that I am not the father.
The german police has implemented a policy where women are preferably hired. Am I not allowed to complain when our Ministry of Justice is actively violating the constitution?
And there is quite tangible discrimination against men and boys. Men get sentenced to prison for the same crime way more often than women and they also get higher verdicts. Can I not complain about this?
Men and boys are jsut as often the victim of abuse and violence as women, according to several studies even more often than woman and yet, we have 400+ womens shelters in Germany and not a single shelter for men or boys. Fuck you, boys over 12 are not even allowed to join their mothers in case they go to a womens shelter.
And we have a "Ministry for Family, Women, Youth and the Elderly"; while men apparently do not even happen for german politicians. But hey, don't you dare to complain, right?

You sound really angry man. That's not good for you. You can't change biology and human nature. Take a seat and enjoy your life. Forget about the shit you can't influence in any way.
I'm not dumb, and i imagine most people around here aren't dumb either. We all know and understand that what you're saying is true. But it doesn't fucking matter. You're looking at it from a bitter and hateful perspective, and that's the wrong way to live life. You're still at the "anger" stage of grief, that much is clear.
Also, know that nobody gives a flying fuck about your MGTOW bullshit. The MGTOW sub is just a circlejerk of bitter and resentful morons. Depending on how you look at it, it's either horrible or hillarious. Try to change for the better, you should continually be improving yourself. Fuck everybody else.
And, to warp it all up: Complaining is what women do. It's useless. It doesn't achieve shit. It's weak. Complaining on fucking reddit of all places won't change a damn thing, that's fur sure. So relax and enjoy the decline.

Women have more at stake during pregnancy as they have to risk growing a human life inside them for 9 months + recovery time afterwards and women/youth/elderly are physically less dangerous and powerful than men because of muscle mechanics ingrained in our dna, so it's easy to see why these laws are in place to protect the more fragile sex and ages. It's called a "justice system" for a reason - it's supposed to produce a more just environment, even if it doesn't handle every single nuanced case optimally. But if you think it's so easy to write and enact laws go try it yourself. Try understanding why laws are put into place first before attempting to pseudo-intellectually bulldoze proper justice systems and maybe they wouldn't look so ludicrous from your anecdotally bitter perspective.
CursingWhileNursing 6y ago
First of all, stop wildly mixing things up. You jump from pregnancy to physical strength to DNA as if we are talking about the same thing here. And apart from that, not one of the things you've mentioned here does justify the injustices I have written about, in fact I can't even tell which part of your "argument" is directed towards which parts of my comment.
But let's talk about male aggression and the justice system. There are two reasons for the justice system to exist. One, to punish criminals. And two, to protect society from said criminals.
And I can't see how the greater physical strenght of a man should lead to a harder punishment, you moron. Because if you argue like that, then Ronda Rousey should get a longer sentence for car theft than I would get?
Also, not every crime is related to physical strength. Ever heard of white collar crime? Well, now please tell me why a woman that embezzled money should get a lesser sentence than a man gets for the same crime? Because that is what I am talking about.
Well, the pseudo-intellectual part comes from you. The justice system is meant to treat people equally and without any regard of gender. If a woman and a man both commit a crime for the first time, both commit the same crime and both end up in court, then chances are good that the man will get a prison sentence and the women doesn't and in case the woman does get a prison sentence, she will most likely have to do a significantly shorter jail time than the man. Also, women are way more likely to get free on parole.
There are statistics that prove that, so would you please explain to me in a non-pseudointellectual way how this is "fair" or what the fuck this has to do with body strength or with making society more "just" and a safer place for non-criminal citizens?
Can you tell me, how and why a female thief would be less of a threat to society after leaving jail? In fact, her having learned that the pussy pass is a thing, I would expect her more of a future threat than the male criminal.
Oh, one more thing. >Women have more at stake during pregnancy as they have to risk growing a human life inside them for 9 months
So, because of this it is okay to rob a man of his money and his freedom, without him even having the chance to fight back? How does this sentiment make society "more just", hm?
Uh, so a german ministry is "anecdotal"? Literally not one single shelter for abused men or at least boys existing in Germany is "anecdotal"?
Well, fuck me, so is every single of those little MeToo stories, but those are all valid, of course? Because of greater male body strength, I guess?
IntrovertedMagma 6y ago
also that idiot forgot that in a balanced, healthy society men have an instinct to protect WAHMYN and children..
So why say that men physical superiority is a bad thing? society should cherish it..
CursingWhileNursing 6y ago
Apparently it only is when society can't use and abuse it. One moment we are good enough as cannon fodder, the next; we are dangerous creatures that need to be restrained. And be it by unjust laws and idiots who think that women never kill with poison or by proxy or that greater physical strength justifies a higher prison sentence for theft.
Pelmaleon 6y ago
Methinks I struck a chord. Too big of a truth bomb for you? Btw I'm not debating a wall of logical fallacy after logical fallacy after logical fallacy as I'd rather spend my time elsewhere ;)
CursingWhileNursing 6y ago
No, you are surely not debating logical fallacies, you are creating them.
And you sound a lot like those SJWs who scream that you are wrong, but then cop out with the excuse it's not their responsibility to educate you when you ask, why that is.
I challenge you. Refute one argument. Tell me how it makes society safer and more just when male and female perpetrators of a non-violent crime like theft are getting different sentences for the exact same kind of crime.
You can't. I am a 100% sure even if you wanted, you couldn't. But it's okay, now that I understand that you have the mindset of the typical SJW, I just treat you like the retards they are. ;)
Pelmaleon 6y ago

Women are terrible at estimating height, or dick length for that matter.
All sorts of thing affect a woman's perception of height. Your clothes, how jacked you are, and most importantly, how confident you are.
Bottom line: abundance mindset conquers all of this and more.
BoyFromMiami 6y ago
I’ll share my experience. I am 6’3. I am usually the tallest in the room. With minimal excessive it has made it much easier to be taken seriously in all facets of life including women. I am not in denial about that. Is it fair? No. Life isn’t fair. Some are born rich and some are born poor and disabled. I know many “short” men who lift and advance in careers and education who will blow me out of the water in SMV. If your short, dress well, lift, advance in education career and redpoll knowledge. That combination will put you in the top 20%.
The_Real_Cannaman 6y ago
Problem is that my country is redpilled as fuck and 70+% of my peers lift and all, i can only ascend by status but it's not worth the stress just for some dumb hoes. In the end of the day AWALT.

I'm 23yo and I've been 5'1 for the last 6 years of my life.

God's speed.

Do tell about your romantic life. Are you very extroverted? Do you have any hobbies or play any sports? The guys that short that I see pulling are usually very outgoing and athletic, if not ripped, or they're in a band or a DJ or something.
The_Pine 6y ago
As many here, I am an introvert made extrovert through necessity. All my pulls have been through college and I play music in a college group. Always try to have more than one social hobby going on. I am very famous in college due to doing things greater than life (see laws of power) and doing shit that express IDGAF at a societal level. No pants subway ride, spreading stickers saying "official fucking spot" everywhere around campus, singing in the corridors, always shirtless, funny dates, etc etc. I guess people are attracted to this vital energ y and they want to be a part of my life. All the shit that is going on in my life just makes me want to LIVE even more. #humblebrag

> If you do it, do it because it feels good and it makes you feel more confident, not because it increases your chances of getting laid.
My trainer is short. 5' short, I'd guess. He's also the most aesthetically swole guy I know this short of Arnold. Very well groomed, dresses well, got a bit of skill and RP knowledge (some of that from me). He's drowning in 7-9s.
I can't tell from that how many pounds of muscle you have to add to compensate for an inch - though that's probably a good project for a social sciences phd. But it'd definitely there.
We have the math for height and money, btw. "$30,000 Per Inch" says google - though I could have sworn OkCupid found a bigger number.
Gearski 6y ago
I'm 6'4 and my 5'6 best friend pulls way more than I do, I think there are things that matter a lot more than height.

cBIGONE 6y ago
Does he have great face symetry and skin and other aesthetic things unrelated to height? This is tough for friends to admit sometimes
Gearski 6y ago
I've thought about this a bit and his face is pretty average, but he has other stuff going for him like good style, well groomed, can tell he lifts by looking at him(he's done a few cycles) but it really just further proves the point that height isn't everything.

I was with you until this point. This is pure bullshit. Tall men are attractive because of dominance and presence and status. Nothing to do with dick size.
Not true: height works against you here because of the leverage effect of longer limbs. Let's not confuse height with strength.

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far for someone to call out his dumbass dick size argument. It leads me to believe that 80% of the people here believe it to be true.

Would you care to share some examples or tips to an almost same height bro?
Gaujo 6y ago
I was in a club in AC on a slow night. Me and some friends bought a table and bottles to have fun and attract women. At some point in the mighty I was with a slightly taller woman. We had danced a bit and I tried to make a move on her. She stopped me to say "I'm taller than you". I just said "yeah" and continued. We made out a bit then, more later and I grabbed her ass as much as I liked and she was OK with it.
After that I gained a lot of confidence. Just shrug it off. NEVER LET THEM SEE YOU SWEAT.
Reaper1967 6y ago
It’s been said before, don’t let shit bother you. In my experiences I’ve only ever gotten the height made fun of when a girl was interested in me already. They use it to test you. “You’re really short” “Shouldn’t you be taller?” “Is everything that small?” Shit like that. A&A it, flip it, etc. “Damn, you’re observant” “God hates me” “My parents won’t let me” “I’m afraid of heights” “Maybe you can help me grow”
They’re just trying to break your frame, and see your insecurities. If it’s obvious it doesn’t bother you, it’s not going to be an issue. You’re only as strong as your weakest insecurity.

darkslayer76 6y ago

Honestly, just treat height like it's never an issue, never was an issue, and never will be an issue.
... because it really isn't ( shouldn't be, rather ). Be the change you want to see int he world.
red_matrix 6y ago
If a woman slams your height, isn't that a straight up insult and not a shit test? How would you handle that one? Everytime I see a girl make fun of a guy's height it's just so sad, there's almost no comeback other than to ignore it. I don't see A&A working here
[deleted] 6y ago
"Oh my god are you 5'6"? That's sooo short!"
"Fuck no! Im actually 4 feet without my fake legs.."
tranquilschizo 6y ago
I think with him being 5'6, it is always a shit-test, never an insult. It's just like pointing the obvious. If a girl sees a guy with a big nose, you think she's going to insult this stranger? Pointing out the obvious isn't an insult but a shit-test. On the other hand, if she gets creative with her insult, then there is a more variety of possible answers.
Reaper1967 6y ago
What is an insult, an attack on frame attempting to rouse a reaction. Someone trying to bring you into their frame. If you DGAF, it loses all power. If you aren’t insecure about it, it throws them off guard. A&A works because it shows you aren’t insecure, and can find amusement in her(or his) attempt to bring you down. YMMV, but I haven’t had anyone (male or female) continue to push past one maybe two stabs at the height, because I just don’t care what they think. If my height is truly that much of a concern to you, fuck off and quit wasting my time.
red_matrix 6y ago
I meant specially what would you say. I've seen my buddy just clam up or ignore some insults from women about his height - but an insult is still and insult. I don't think it's as easy as you say. YMMV
kril89 6y ago
What I always say and it's 100% the truth "If you think there should be more of me I think I'm doing pretty good"
Reaper1967 6y ago
“I’m not short I’m vertically challenged” “It’s a shorter trip to lay you down” “Perfect height to see what’s important” (If she’s in heels or just taller...look at her boobs when you say it) “I left my heels at home, didn’t want to make you jealous” “Oxygen density is much better down here”
You (your buddy?) are still fighting an insecurity about your height. It really isn’t a big deal unless you make it one. Take a step back and look inside as to why it’s hanging you up. If you really are the prize and have value to offer, the height won’t be an issue. Like I stated, every time I’ve gotten shit for it, it’s been because the girl was playing with me. If she’s actually being a bitch about it, or continually pressing the issue (not playing in that case) then why would you give her any of your time or attention past that point?

cBIGONE 6y ago
"I'm 6'4" laying down" (jokes though), just amplify by shit eating grin and silence, or just look at her height and have a long ass silence, place your hand on your head, and measure down to theirs while staring lol. Whatever you feel would be fun.
Most likely she is poking you to see if you can take it, and have a sense of humor, or if you are a pussy. If she really is a bitch, you don't want anything to do with her anyway.
Regardless, you are now thinking too much. DON'T DEER. You don't have to defend shit. Change the topic if you want
red_matrix 6y ago
I've seen guys get emasculated by women about their height. If it's an insult, then I don't know how you come back. I think all you can do is ignore it (it still looks bad to the group). You're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
cBIGONE 6y ago
Let me phrase it a different way. If a 12 year old insults you, do you insult them back, or laugh and move on thinking "boy that was try hard lol, they must be really insecure with themselves" you dont have to acknowledge an insult. In fact say thank you and smile haha. Don't take it so seriously. You are The Man, and no one can take that away from you. Fuck height and fuck peoples perceptions of you. You know who you are inside and out.

massivewang 6y ago
I’m tall and my buddy is short. I see the dynamic play out often, not only do women give you a hard time when you’re short but dudes do as well. I’ve seen plenty a man mess with my buddy/overstep boundaries simply because he was short. I’ve had to step in a few times to get them to back off.
With that said my buddy has an eccentric sense of style, impeccable game, and has quite the package. He kills it with women because his personality/game are on point. He’s the most socially intelligent person in the room. He knows exactly what’s going on and is never at a loss for words. At the same time he is the most fun person I know. He lives in the moment and can make the mundane fun in a heart beat. He knows the local scene, where all the cool bars/clubs are, and is constantly going to concerts/shows/etc. Women can’t get enough.
I get a lot initial interest because I’m tall and strong (seriously fellas, lift! The IOIs I’ve gotten since adding mass have increased significantly). I do well for myself, but I can’t compete with him at all.
[deleted] 6y ago
That's comical. The present and socially competent short man outgames the taller man. Sad but true. Im a 6ft tall pretty jacked guy and i hardly get laid anymore just because my social game isnt what it used to be. Also because i have major depressive disorder with manic episodes due to abusive childhood and several drug induced psychoses. It's all relative, guys.
massivewang 6y ago
In our circle there are three other guys who are handsome as FUCK. Two of them are in the upper five foot range fit but not huge, the other guy is like 6'3 and is fucking JACKED. Chicks swoon over all of them, they don't have to do a damn thing other than not fuck it up. I've never seen anything like it. They kill it on online dating apps and are consistently with the hottest women. I am nowhere near them in terms of looks.
My buddy can out game the lot, but it's funny because he has to work for his success, where these other dudes have won the genetic lottery with their top model looks (that's not to diminish the fact they're fit and lift, but lifting/losing fat can only do so much for your face). It's important to note that my buddy DOES NOT LIFT, his physique is really quite laughable and he doesn't take care of his body that well. With that said he still kills it with women left and right.
Anyway it's all fun and games to me because I am seeing all aspects of this shit play out. The short guy with game, the guy with 1% looks who doesn't have to try, etc. If anything it's reinforced that it's not black and white, that it's not just a matter of "just lift" or game but a variety of factors. And that each person can find their own method of success via the things they can/want/are willing to embrace and improve.
vsvpcastro 6y ago
how do you think someone can improve socially like him?
massivewang 6y ago
I think there's something to be said about your personality. Intrinsically he's a social guy and his mind leans toward the hustle/problem solving. Otherwise just like anything else, you get out there and you work toward improving it.
I don't envy my friend, I think part of his success is because he had a choatic upbringing and he has been on his own since 17. He's quite resourceful, bold, confident, etc as a result. Though at the same time he is quite impulsive, prone to drink, act out, etc.
grewapair 6y ago
It's really just that. When you see some short guy who slays, he's just really attractive. Tom Cruise.
I can assure you no ugly short guy slays anything. Doesn't matter how good your "personality" is. If you're ugly, no one wants to get too close.
They'll be happy to laugh at your jokes, but they are NOT dating you. The only exception to this is a girl with no other options will rationalize why she's with a guy because of his great personality. The reality is she's with him because she's bored and has no better options. If that's the type of girl you want, you can get there.

I just know the basics. My game is nothing at all like his.
At any rate it's a relationship I'm thankful for. We've had different upbringings and different personalities. There's a level of mutual respect/admiration/appreciation because we both see the best in each other and are both aware of our own flaws. I'm a bit more plan things out and he's far more go with the flow, so we tend to bring good perspective to one another.
[deleted] 6y ago
I have a buddy like this too. He is getting back in shape. When he was broader shouldered and flatter bellied, women and men gave him more respect. The personality hasn't changed much, just needs to bring his looks back to the table. I have a son who is 5'7" at 16, but with 16" biceps and good build. He pulls girls all day and routinely gets the taller guys to back down because he has a little MMA/wrestling background and just looks like a short guy "better left alone". I'm 34 and won't hesitate to help him tune somebody up if they are 18 or over. "If you can't be tall, be buff"
massivewang 6y ago
What's funny is that a 16 year old with a few years of wrestling could literally beat the shit out of most men assuming the size disparity isn't outrageous. People are so damn confident in their ability to fight not knowing they're a double leg take-down away from a visit to the shadow realm.
[deleted] 6y ago
Ain't that the truth. I have a little BJJ/Muay Thai training (no belts) but just that is enough to allow me to hold my own. I avoid fights though.

tranquilschizo 6y ago
Damn, wish I had guy friends that were like that? Usually my alphaness gets in the way and I don't know how to fix it/if I do fix it. Where did you meet him? I think more needs to be said on how to find good bro's that will help you out and of course you'd return the favor.
massivewang 6y ago
We use to go to church together (we stopped that a long time ago) and were roommates. To be honest I really don't know how you build relationships like that. They sort of happen organically. All you can do is position yourself to meet people and make an effort to connect with people you get along well with.
I think there's something to be said about being authentic/real. It's worth reflecting/diving deeper to see why your "Alphaness" is preventing you from connecting with friends on a deeper level.
tranquilschizo 6y ago
True. When it comes to girls, every last one of them says that I come off as a player before I even talk. I know this because I've asked tons of random girls and they've all said the same things. Maybe somehow this ties into why I don't get along with guys like that? Never had a friend on my SMV level and I'd like to experience that. Not that I'm some crazy god, but I'm only 17 and not many guys at all my age are into their SMV. I don't know how well it would go trying to be friends with a 25 year old.
massivewang 6y ago
You're 17, don't sweat it. Your world is quite small as a high school student/recent grad. It expands exponentially in college and the work force. You're about to meet all kinds of people, some of whom will be at at your level or higher. Keep doing you, keep your eyes out for good dudes to connect with, and have patience.
I'm 33, I TRPed when i was a 27 year old virgin. Everything has radically changed in the last six years of my life. Be disciplined and be positive because consistent effort pays off.
tranquilschizo 6y ago
You're right. Past few years I've been focused on myself. As of now, I don't have a social circle and I only have 1 guy friend. I've always had lots of girls attached to me but I've pushed all my current ones away because of this girl I decided I wanted to be a real boyfriend to. This is pretty new to me because usually I just talked to girls to fuck them, aside from my learning stage at 13. But, I do believe it is the right move to be with this girl. I've never personally met someone smarter than me at my age. She is two years younger and smarter than me. She is also much more farther down the spiritual path than me. Easily the most ambition-filled girl I have ever met. Everything is just falling into place and we don't have any problem whatsoever. She is really the only person I talk to much. Regardless, I am still mentally prepared if it doesn't work out. With that being said, should I try to create a social circle even if I don't desire it? What about finding guy friends?
B-L-G-Y 6y ago
Let me tell you all about a guy we'll call L.
I work in a big box retail environment while I build up a customer base for a contractor business. Without going into too much detail, I meet a lot of people who've just bought a home and want new cabinets and whathaveyou. A lot of these people are attractive women who've just netted some poor sap who's trying to buy her the world so she stays, and some of them are attractive divorcees looking to get back on the carousel. So there's that.
There's also a lot of cute young ladies working the registers, and some of the less detail-oriented "specialist" positions. On the flip side we have a lot of spineless, and I hate to use the term, soyboys working the floor and keeping their noses down and just generally trying to be as invisible as possible.
Enter L. L, I swear to God, has got to be four feet tall. If someone told me he was 4'1 or more I would have a heart attack. I've seen thousands of people come into the store and none of them are shorter than L. People bring their kids in and they tower over him, and you know what? He doesn't give a fuck.
L is basically jacked. A little more body fat than you might want if you were in his shoes, but he's got just about as much muscle as his frame could carry. He's got an incredibly positive attitude. He's hilarious. He's high energy and not in the least bit annoying except to people who envy his nature. Within a week he'd (foolishly) started a relationship with some thot in his department. It's okay because his job consists of making out all day with a chick who cannot get enough of him. And hand to God, some of the cutest cashiers--again, these are women who practically have to shout down to him so he can hear--have expressed out loud that they wish he was single.
There's a few things L does that you should take note of if you are also short:
He never brings up his height. I've heard some of those envious, insecure boys call him all kinds of fucked up shit. Leprechaun, gnome, Willow. Anything you can think of. He has a spot on impersonation for each of these characters and more. He glosses right over the insult and one ups them with even better humor. If there's people around he works the crowd instead of engaging directly. This is indicative of someone who's been relentlessly tormented about their glaring disadvantage their entire life and who owns it as though he fought through hell to get it. L doesn't give a fuck. He told me once he doesn't let anybody get him down because it's not physically possible for him to get lower. 10/10 joke, you had to be there. Dry delivery. Agh. God bless him.
He stands up straight, with his chest and core centered and firm, and maintains solid eye contact. When engaging with customers he uses an authoritative, confident tone of voice. This nearly erases the physical man before them and presents a cool, collected force. L behaves like Usain Bolt in Mini Me's body, and people listen to what he has to say like he's Winston Churchill because of it. Body language and tone are two of your most important weapons when trying to present yourself in the best way. In his case this achieves a remarkable feat; he's interacting with such poise that the same kid who just spent thirty minutes shitting all over him behind his back struggles to behave as cool and calmly, and oftentimes they're nowhere near his level. You can look at this a couple different ways. If you're an optimist you might think he's building others up by inspiring them to be better. If you're cynical you can point out that L's dimeanor is so vastly superior that they feel the need to match it as soon as they realize how outclassed they are. Both are true, usually simultaneously. You can be like L, or you can be like the pissant who's so insecure he needs to take the easiest shot at the easiest target in a building the size of a football field. The choice is yours.
Be like L. He's got a ways to go before he has a bimbo trophy on either arm but he's very close. Me and a few bros think this chick he's going steady with will do him dirty, and that may be the catalyst for him to fully transform into a tiny Chad. If he can do that, you can too. The only thing standing in your way, ever, is yourself.
As a disclaimer, I'm about 5'6 out of shoes. I've been with exactly one woman shorter than me. It is what it is, man. The stigma attached to your height is nothing more than smoke and mirrors. It is your job to cut through the bullshit and rise above. Only you hold that power, and it's easier than you think.
Great post, u/shortandspicy.

Being labeled by height is not the same as being labeled by skin color. Has to be the dumbest shit I’ve ever read. I hope this is all coming from a minority because if not, then that makes it 10x more stupid.

How so you know that being taller is a social improvement? I mean you are short, how would you know.

Agree with all except the big cock part. Women really don't care. No, I mean really. It's a nice surprise that may tip the scales in your favor a bit, but it's not a deal breaker unless you're dating a vapid cunt, and why would you want to do that?

Also, I didn't realize how much it made a difference for me until I was more brazen about talking to women. A lot of women won't consider me because I'm not over 6 foot. I'm taller than 90% of women, but many want the tall man. I just laugh at it now.
Women get away with a lot of bullshit that they crap all over men for considering. I did once tell a girl she was too tall for me, just to see her reaction. She freaked out. That was fun.
Fulp_Piction 6y ago
The start reads like excuses, like it or not wearing shoe slips to make you taller will get you laughed at (I'm 5'8" barefoot and would laugh at someone doing that) - your last point said to accept yourself yet you're advocating wearing slips? hamster spinning intensifies.
Taller guys are stronger, more physically imposing - they're just fucking bigger. It implies more masculinity (implies is the key word here), probably a bigger dick but why are you worried about some other man's todger? Chicks dig MASCULINITY, not necessarily height.
I'll re-iterate what you've said - girls have preferences. They'll tend towards tall guys, but that's outside of your control and way less of an issue than you think. Stop being short whiny pussies (the only thing worse than a short pussy), join a hardcore sport (rugby, soccer, gaa, mma), lift, act like a man, come back in a year and see if height really hold you back.
Bear in mind we're in an echo chamber where a massive amount of people who haven't got the memo about how life works can upvote what they want to hear.

You just can't let it get to you. Let go of external validation and seek validation from within, auto-validate yourself. That's the only way.
Shoe lifts is just masking your insecurity and letting it live.
SteveRogersPill 6y ago
This post is great because as a 5’5 male I’ve never let my shortness EVER get to me. I’m not the most ripped guy but I’m trying atm., very outgoing, I do fun shit, and I’m not boring. When I started my TRP journey I was more worried about me just being scared to talk to women and now I get ioi’s from even tall girls. I’m still working on my game but all I can say is OWN IT. I never let tall dudes from approaching chicks at a bar or anywhere or intimidate me at all. So just own your shit. Love yourself, know your worth
earringthrwy 6y ago
I’m fairly tall, and my height has been no advantage. I may be an outlier, because facially I am well below average. I think you short guys are up playing the advantage height gives. In my neck of the woods being tall isn’t an advantage at all.

I just skimmed.
I'm short as well. I look at it like this, no one is born with every advantage in life, some people get stuck with one or more of the various less than desirable physical traits. Or they're from an unpopular ethnicity. Or impoverished. Or a long list of other things. Being short is just one of those unfortunate disadvantages. Yeah if you think about it for too long you'll start to stew about it being unchangeable despite how much you lift or about how hypocritically and unrepentantly vicious women are about a man's height, but there's no point in any of that because none of it will change anything. If you have goals and aspirations to fuck a lot of women in your life then you're only choice is to ignore your weaknesses and focus on building up your strong points. Physique. Facial Aesthetics. Powerful Voice. Alpha/Leader Personality. IDGAF Attitude. Social Intelligence. Game/PUA Skils. Dominant Bedroom Performance. Stylish Dress. Deep Character Hobbies. Money. Etc.

looneyniggabunny 6y ago
Generally I believe that being tall for man is a attraction + points for women is due to the fact that women are naturally program to always look for good genes. Height = good genes
It is essential as having good looks , being fit etc that equal the values of good genes
I myself isn't tall either even I am at the average height of my genes (asians fml) and it is one the flaws I would feel bad the most because I can never do anything about it ( or I could but it is too late now)
However, this is why the TRP is here for, it enables you to build self confidence, build a idgaf attitude because of the amount of other values I am able to provide
Having good genes helps you playing the game at a easy mode, but knowing how to play the game lets you play at even the hardest mode (even if you're genetically ugly, you dress well, have a great personality and self confidence, great hobbies and successful, youre still gonna get the same amount of girls compare to the CHAD who doesnt know how to play the game)
Great post by OP on this topic, dont ever let anyone put you down because you set the frame, you're the frame.

baldginger69 6y ago
I did not read the whole post, but I have a buddy who is about that height and has always been really successful with women since we were in middle school. He's always excited to show me videos of him banging his girlfriends/fuck buddies and let me tell you, this kid could work for brazzers. He gets tons of girls (mostly taller than him). However, it's not like these girls know he has a huge cock before they sleep with him, but they are attracted to him due to how much confidence he has despite his height. Even if you are not hung like a horse, be confident just for the sake of being confident. He uses his height to his advantage as girls are very curious as to why a man of his height has so much swag.
RatioRegnum 6y ago
As someone comfortably over 6', I can say that height only matters if you make it matter. This is both in using the height you have, or in overcoming the height you don't.
My father was 5"4, but he exuded confidence. In his class photo around age 18 he's the smallest guy there, but he stands out with the aura of Jesus in a renaissance painting. My mom was 5'8", and quite the stunner in her day. In their wedding photos she is this shy, blushing bride, being swept away by a man who looks like he owns the world. His girlfriend before that, who I've seen in old photos, was also gorgeous And after he died, I wound up getting tracked down by another former girlfriend of my father, who never got over him. She showed me a picture of her age 21, and she was about 9.5 (for reference, I've only given five 10s in my life, and two of those are movie stars)
My uncle likewise married an astonishingly beautiful woman - he's around 5'9"
Let me point out that my father came from a dirt poor background, and at this point in their lives he and my uncle were working entry-level jobs while supporting the transoceanic transition of the family to a better future. They had nothing but confidence and work ethic at this point. Both moved on to considerable success.
Both were also eventually unmanned by their wives, sad to say. A cautionary tale, but also another story.

Good read.

What everybody is forgetting here is that looks don't mean shit to women, except only on a superficial level. Read the sidebar.
The only benefit of (what is socially considered) being good looking is the confidence that comes with thinking you look good.
JamesSkepp 6y ago
Start deliberately dating taller girls only. You'll develop better frame and better game, but in the end, especially after you master your frame (learn to handle how you perceive yourself), you'll learn that as soon as you stop seeing your height as the problem, so will the women.

Could you explain that, why are taller women better to date than short women?
JamesSkepp 6y ago
Better is not a word I would use to describe them. Sure, they might be hotter, but that's personal preference. Also a taller girl might be perceived as having/giving you more status than shorter, but when it comes to pure interactions, there's little difference between them.
What a taller (than you) girl requires is you getting over the belief that if you're shorter = you'll lose attraction points. That you're inadequate. That you're inferior to taller than you men (regardless of your/their height). That you shouldn't go for taller girls b/c you don't have a chance anyway. And so on. IOW you are forced to confront your limiting beliefs, which is always a good thing.

AJ_Ak47 6y ago
I am short (5'4) and I am not packing at all... (painfully below average) I'd like to echo the OPs sentiment. I had to learn to love myself and accept the hand I was dealt, the biggest keys to my success have been staying cool, calm, and collected which seriously helps me apply things I learn from TRP and life in general, also you can't let yourself be controlled by your emotions, weak people do that, beta's do that, there's a certain strength that gets projected when you're able to confidently control yourself.
And as other guys have said "girls don't you sex and you don't owe them your time, attention, or resources." If a girl isn't going to fuck/fuck with you then fuck them.
Be proud if you're short, be cool, be yourself, I had to tap into the good I DID have to offer rather than focus on what I lack.
I explain to my guy friends who are tall, fit, and everything a guy would want to be that I'm playing this game on hard mode whereas they're playing on easy. Accept your flaws, own your shit, tap into the stuff that makes you great and start to share that shit with the world.

If a woman shit tests you on something it means that she see you as a potential partner,which is something that should make you happy unless you are an insecure bitch. TRP is focused on things you can change,not on things you can’t do shit about. If you were born brown you can’t be white,if you were born short you can’t be tall so why should you waste any more time talking about it instead of hints that you CAN change?

If you are short that means some of your ancestors were short too. Which means that their shortness didn't prevented them from reproducing.

Genetic recombination.. 2 brown eyed parents still are able to produce a blue eyed kid (chances are low).
2 midgets are still able to create some kid with a disease that maks him go up to 7"
Snazzy_Serval 6y ago
The problem with that is that many of us are living in western countries (or just the US) and our ancestors were from a different country.
The problem is that my short ancestors didn't have a problem in their home country because being short is normal. Being a short person in the US is completely different.
Here's an example. My Dad is Cuban and I'm the height of a typical Cuban man 5'5. If I was born in Cuba I'd be fine and probably would have married long ago. Though I was born in the US in a state where almost everybody is white and my dating life has been hell.

Is being short really as much of a negative trait as this post implies? I mean I'm tall myself but it hardly seems to do me that many favours. Every now and then I get girls saying they like other things about me like my eyes or having big shoulders, but height never really comes up.
Given how much variance there is from guy to guy in traits like attractiveness and charisma, I really wouldn't think small differences in height would make all that much difference - that is if we're talking about differences of a few inches and not a heads difference.
Pilliam66 6y ago
How are you judging how many favours it does you? I think it's more likely that you just don't realise that it's doing you favours.
flatcologne 6y ago
Yeah most likely so. But I wouldn't call it much more than a positive accessory. If you're good looking it will more or less make you high status regardless of what else you have or don't have going for you, and the same can be said about if you're witty and charismatic. But just being tall will hardly have such an effect. An unattractive, uncharismatic tall guy isn't high status, he's just a low level guy who happens to be tall.
thesquarerootof1 6y ago
I am a guy that is 5 ' 5" and have been with a modest amount of women. One of my ex-girlfriends was about 5'7". I have had dated taller girls and a lot of them overlook your height if you have other attractive qualities. However, I am fairly attractive guy and have an athletic body type. Although I am short, I am very masculine (can grow facial hair easy, high T count, ect.).
If you are confident and act like you are 6 feet tall, women don't give a shit. Seriously. I have had major self esteem issues in high school because all my friends were 6 feet tall guys while I was 5 ' 5" . It's all confidence.
One thing I have seen shorter guys do they makes them look like they have low self-esteem is that they wear boots to make them look taller and they look "too buff". Sure, a lot of you will disagree with that, but has any of you met a really buff short guy with self esteem issues ? I was in the army and we had a lot of dudes like that. They reek of insecurity. I wear Vans that don't really make you look any taller and most importantly I am comfortable with my height. I am 26 now but if you mentioned my height when I was 16 I would be so insecure about it.
Anyway, I appreciate the post OP! This is from another short dude.
EDIT: I also wanted to add, as a shorter guy I have noticed that the women who care most about height are women who are about 5'1" and shorter. Go figure!

white_girl_lover 6y ago
If u are short, u can actually use that as an advantage when meeting people. Like, since both guys and girls typically expect u to be weak and beta, u can surprise them by having great conversation skills, strong frame etc... given that u put the work in. This will surprise people and actually make you seem more interesting and attractive bc of this shock factor sorta thing going on. Im not a short guy, so i may be wrong w this theory but i read someones comment stating this so take it w a grain of salt
Paladin2903 6y ago
Guys are far too focused on height, nowadays. There’s a few reasons for this.....the world has become hyper-competitive, mainly due to the internet and the world-wide competition it brings.
Another reason is these feminists and “femidykes” are vicious cunts. As a result, they’ll try to shame and embarrass men for absolutely anything. Keep in mind that most women are not feminists.......
At least, not the ones that are pretty, and that you’d want to be your girlfriend. So, who gives a shit what a bunch of ugly ass feminists think?
To this day, the guys I know that are the best with women are 5’6” and 5’7.” They’re both very good looking guys (no homo) and give absolutely zero fucks. The more you think about and obsess over this shit, the worse it’ll be for you.
Height is just one variable out of a ton of variables. Former basketball player Manute Bol was 7’7” and ugly as FUCK. Do you think hot girls were lining up to fuck him? No, they weren’t.
Also, another thing to keep in mind is that damn near every guy lies about their height. That’s why girls think there are so many 6 foot guys walking the streets. Only about 14% of the male population is 6 feet tall and over. Average worldwide height for a guy is 5’8” tall.
Same with dick size....most guys lie about it, women believe them, and as a result, women think damn near every guy should be hung like a horse.
Just enjoy your life man...it’s too short to stress yourself out about this shit.
[deleted] 6y ago

ozenmacher 6y ago
I am 5'5". I agree, weird things happen when you are short. One thing I learned is confidence in a short frame dude can really turn heads. It almost throws women off because most average BP short men are ultra concerned and sensitive about their short stature. You are different and you standout, which builds mystery. Also, a lot of red-pilled short dudes really don't GAF because they had to spend decades being made fun of when they were younger, so a lot of them have natural confidence. I have friends among my mountaineering group who are CHADS and I still AMOG them, dudes who are 6'4", but lack confidence. Do you have to work harder? Yes, but in many ways that work was done when you were ridiculed when you were younger.

Region can make a big difference, but yeah, especially in cities the whole "only 1 in 5 women identify as feminist" is a useless figure.

The height- penis size relation is a stretch. Having taller humans does mean protection. Fighting rival clans and hunting bigger game etc. so I do think biologically women will select taller men subconsciously due to this “protection” drive. Better for the species.

Height has nothing to do with toughness and protection. I’ve seen jacked guys, that are anywhere from 5’6” to 5’8” tall systematically beat the shit out of tall guys.
Mike Tyson is average height of 5’8” (arguably 5’9” at most) and he put the fear of God in everyone he fought that was taller than him. A lion is the king of the jungle and it’s smaller than a giraffe, yet the giraffe runs.
carvedouttastone 6y ago
Mike Tyson is 5'10 - hardly short but he did fight taller opponents
SilkTouchm 6y ago
Well a giraffe would wreck the shit out of a lion so it's not the best example.
Schhwing 6y ago
Comparing different species is a bit retarded so I’m not going to go there.
Re: your point with Tyson - a jacked tall guy is going to outfight a jacked short guy all things being equal - meaning if they both lift the same amount and have the same fighting training. That’s why weight classes exist.
You’re picking one of the best fighters of all time. This is not the general rule. Therefore all things being equal, height is more valuable. As a tall person can still become fit, a short person cannot become taller.
Also body composition is more a factor of lifestyle choices. Bone structure isn’t. Therefore a female still biologically (subconsciously) knows that tallness is more valuable than being fit.
[deleted]
Paladin2903 6y ago
You’re not making any sense. You’re talking strictly about height. Based upon what you said, being tall equals protection. It absolutely does not.
The only thing that’s “a bit retarded” is making a generalization that simply being taller means “protection.” In what world?? How, exactly?
What does simply being tall mean? Nothing. A tall stick figure isn’t going to do jack shit against a muscular guy. The only thing that equates to toughness and protection is muscle.
So, if you’re going to generalize, then muscle would make way more sense than height, correct? This is the point that I’m making. Simply being tall doesn’t mean anything, in terms of toughness.
Schhwing 6y ago
We weren’t talking about “toughness” initially. We were talking about genetic desirability. To women. Toughness is learned behaviour. Bone structure is genetic.
I’ll repeat this because you’re not getting it. No it does not make sense to generalise height as less valuable than muscle. BECAUSE YOU CAN GAIN MUSCLE, BUT YOU CAN’T GAIN HEIGHT. Just as you can’t change your bone structure. Genetically, women unconsciously know this, which is why they go for taller men - IN GENERAL.
Of course you can pick outliers and exceptions. That’s why I said all things being equal. So a tall skinny guy is more attractive/survival adapted then a short skinny guy. A tall muscular guy is more attractive/survival adapted than a short muscular guy. And a tall fat guy is more attractive/survival adapted than a short fat guy. And hence my generalisation that tallness is more valuable than muscularity because muscularity and fitness is trainable, height is not.
Paladin2903 6y ago
Lol. What the fuck are you talking about? This is the very definition of a straw man. I applaud the effort and manipulation tactic, but it’s not happening.
You literally said “Having taller humans does mean protection.” No the fuck it does not. And you added “all things being equal” in your second comment. That wasn’t part of your initial (first) post where you clearly were trying to say that simply being tall means “protection.”
You’re literally the one that brought up protection/toughness. I’m done debating the short bus.
Schhwing 6y ago
Dude your a bit simple and short sighted. Sexual selection is based upon evolutionary biases. Women select for desirable traits that would’ve benefited the species in our early evolutionary period. These are large scale macro trends. Not specific examples.
Clearly height is an evolutionary advantage. In general or all things being equal (which is a phrase you can’t seem to grasp due to your insecurity about your own height) taller men equal stronger men. If a tribe of 6” men came up against a tribe of 5”9”, odds are that the 6” tribe would be stronger all things being equal. Now of course you could say but what if all those taller men were wimpy soyboys, but then I could say what if all the short men were wimpy soyboys. These are exceptions to the rule. Stated again, fitness is trainable, height is not.
So yes, being taller is an evolutionary advantage and that is because taller offspring means greater protection ability/better offspring. If you take your ego out of this one you can’t deny it.
How else would you explain women’s desire for taller men, and taller men’s increased likelihood of being leaders (Fortune 500 CEOs are greatly taller than the median mean height).
Paladin2903 6y ago
Simpleton...”all things being equal” was NOT part of the main point you were trying to make, in your INITIAL post. You added that in to try and conveniently twist and contort the debate in your favor.
I wasn’t born yesterday. Bottom line is, your main point was that simply being taller equates to better protection. That’s clearly false. It absolutely does not.
Also, being tall is simply ONE factor out of many. I can guarantee with absolute certainty that if you showed a girl a picture of a guy that’s, say, 5’6” tall, good looking and jacked, versus a guy that 6’8,” ugly as fuck, and no muscle, the vast majority will take the shorter guy.
Again, that wasn’t even the main point you were arguing, but since you felt a need to add it, I’ll easily refute it. You think that being tall is the best all end all of attraction. Again, it’s ONE factor out of many.
[deleted]
Schhwing 6y ago
Dude, you are obviously insecure about your height. Which would suck because you can’t change it. And I empathise with you and admire your small man syndrome. However you’re not going to get me to back down either. You have been trying to twist this little debate in your favour in the outset by picking exceptions to the general rule of HEIGHT = STRENGTH. For the human species. I’ll stick to my original post which said:
Having taller humans does mean protection. Fighting rival clans and hunting bigger game etc. so I do think biologically women will select taller men subconsciously due to this “protection” drive. Better for the species.
See how I used “humans” as a plural and the word “species”. These convey my general rule. That a taller human population equals a stronger human population. (Lift more weight, fight off shit). And as human populations are determined by the woman (being the sexual selector) they prefer taller humans. You simply cannot deny this general rule.
You started to bring in the exceptions to the rule so I started using phrases such as in general. As humans have a huge population, there will be many exceptions to the rule, but the general rule still applies.
Being tall > being short
Being short and jacked evens the score somewhat.
Being jacked and tall > being jacked and short
Paladin2903 6y ago
I couldn’t care less if you “back down.” The bottom line is you simply lost the debate. Lol. You tried to twist and contort it in your favor, got called out, and as a result have to resort to ad hominem attacks. You just aren’t very good at debating. It happens. Lol.
P.S. I also find it amazingly funny how you and “Surfingjesus” always seem to respond to me within seconds of each other. I mean, it’s literally happened every single time I reply to you and “him.”

Dude, I understand you’re a tall guy that can’t fight his way out of a paper bag, but don’t take it out on me. Lol. It’s not as if I was acting like a tough guy, just stating a fact.
That fact is that being tall means absolutely nothing in terms of toughness. Sorry you can’t come to grips with reality, but calling people names isn’t going to change your blazingly obvious insecurity.
I’m not short and not tall, and I’m perfectly secure with myself because I know I can protect myself. I’d take muscle over height any day of the week.
surfingjesus 6y ago
I'm only 5'11 but I don't carry hostility towards taller people like you dwarfs. It must suck to walk around being bitter and envious all day towards every male beyond the 5th grade.
Dude. Lol.
Paladin2903 6y ago
You’re the one calling me multiple names and acting insecure and I’m the one carrying hostility? Lol.
You’re beyond laughable. I simply stated a fact and you started acting like a girl on her period.
Also, why would you say you’re “only” 5’11”? That would put you (roughly) in the top 25%, in terms of height. Congrats. I have no hostility.
That’s the greatest part about being content with yourself. I don’t envy (or want to be) someone who is tall. I like being me.
Anyone with an IQ over room temperature can see who the insecure/hostile one is. Hint: it isn’t me.
surfingjesus 6y ago
Yeah wanting to be violent towards someone that doesn't even see you because they can ride all the rides you can't at Six Flags is not hostile at all.
Lol how do you even know stuff like that? Is this what you search all day?
????????????
Pretty sure someone with a high IQ would not resort to displaying their value by resorting to violence off the top of their head.
Paladin2903 6y ago
Man, you’re a special kind of insecure and stupid. Lol. Where did i state that I was gonna get violent? Oh yea, nowhere.
I know stuff like that from simple Google searches. Takes about a minute. I realize that’s a lot of work for the mentally challenged. It’s like a superpower. Lol.
I don’t believe I tried to display value at all. Simply refuting an idiot’s point by stating the fact that height has nothing to do with protection and toughness, and you tall guys seemed to cry when forced to face that reality. It’s obvious that you’re just an insecure/angry guy.
Snazzy_Serval 6y ago
As a short guy 5'5, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get out of this post.
Yes I know that dating is hard and women don't understand or simply don't care.
I know better than to whine about my problems and not to be the aggressive angry short guy. I know that life isn't fair etc.
The question is, what the fuck can I do as a short guy to start getting laid?
I'm already working in my career, I lift three times a week and I try to dress nice. Still not getting laid though so something is missing.
redvelvet_oreo 6y ago
Good Post. I think it matter for short people like me and your self to accept our reality.
I will say though being short is not a fucking crutch to do nothing. I am basically same as OP maybe even an inch shorter. I was a very introverted and invisible person to most people. Now I have changed and have been more in the Alpha space while being more extroverted.. My reality now is most people don't even acknowledge my height or notice until alot later on knowing them. Usually maybe 2 - 3 months in knowing them. When the shit testing does start about it you dominate it and laugh. It will become a non issue really fast. You have one shot of passing or failing this shit test with people if you fail you will always look like the butt hurt short beta. The more you don't give a shit about it the better and the less people around you will even care about it.
In terms of women, yeah there are those chicks who just dont fuck with short guys even though they couldn't fit 4 inches of my fat cock in their mouth and my game is good but that still dosent take away your ability to pull women. If you go out and game and pull enough women and establish yourself y ou will still wind up banging hot chicks. Height is not everything, its an issue but its not the end of the world. Own it. Become Big Daddy Smurf.
RedPillAlphaBigCock 6y ago
This might be easy for me to say as I am above average height. But I truly believe that It's all in your head. If you can 10000% ignore it and be confident as fuck - nobody will even question it. I know a short Asian guy and I have NEVER seen anyone question his height or ethnicity - he ignores it so completely that it is irrivelant for all of us.

People will very rarely OPENLY question it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't affect how they perceive you.

Facial aesthetics trump all. If you're tall and pretty you will slay. If you're short and pretty you will slay less but still slay. If you're tall and average you will still have it easy but there will be resistance if you're short and average and below you'll run into difficulty. Ugly dudes no matter their height will really need to hone their game.

You're over thinking this. I'm 5'5" tall and give precisely zero fucks about it. I'm not saying that you're wrong, I'm saying that you put more thought into this one post about being short than I have put into worrying about my height since tenth grade.

I'm 5'7 or whatever that is... freedom units.
Women are attracted to guys that are around a head taller than them. Girls that are short will consider tall guys "too tall" often. So for whatever height there is, there is a market for such height.
Average height in the population will then play a role on your value: I am absolutely invisible in the Netherlands, but I'm at in my element in any Mediterranean country. Any rules here will have as much value for shorter men than for any other guy: stay in shape, be assertive and confident, build your own world and skills and one that has always worked fantastically for me: learn. how. to. dance.
And if you live in a place where everyone towers around you, just fucking move.
warhawk109 6y ago
There’s trade-offs to either being short or tall. Certainly taller is better. But shorter dudes have certain advantages with weight training. A 2 lb increase in lean mass is going to have an immediate visible improvement in body composition on a 5’9 dude, whereas it might not look like anything on a dude north of 6’2. Also advantages in most lifts aside from deadlifts, since smaller range of motion. Smaller limbs means you can get large biceps/triceps relative to your size much faster than a taller dude as well. Less risk of injury also.
[deleted]
Yoasted 6y ago
agreed on lifting isn't easy at that height. I'm 6'4" but adding 40lbs of muscle or mass in general is defenitely noticeable. It is MUCH more noticeable on a person of shorter stature however. That being said, i'm on gear and can easily identify 5-10lbs gain of mass.
zuixihuan 6y ago
How long were you lifting for before you started gearing?
Yoasted 6y ago
about 2 years. I used to be really fat (250lbs) and played college basketball and was borderline anorexic and dropped to 180lbs. Steady lifting for 2 years after that landed me at 205 lbs where I felt i was ready for gear. The best decision of my life considering I am naturally low T.

I want to try gear so bad but I am really worried about the health repercussions probably because of all the myths that float around in the mainstream discourse.

I knew a scottish guy who was about 5'8". He was into lifting from an early age; I was barely twenty and he'd already been doing it for six years at 23.
So how did the girls like it? They loved it. I've been in clubs sitting talking with him while his latest girl was literally running her hands over his shoulders and arms and pecs and cooing at him (Seriously! He ignored it because I guess he was used to it.)
I do agree being short makes you a lot less desirable to a lot of women. But as usual "lifting" or doing weights helps a lot.

midnightreider 6y ago
Talk slow, and minimize the amount of air going through your nostrils when you talk. Practice by pinching your nose and talking until there’s only the very occasional nasal sound with your nose pinched. Pretty sure there was a post here about that.
InscrutablePUA 6y ago
It's all about breathing, specifically learning to breath into your diaphragm. Your voice should originate from your stomach... try it and hear the difference. Speaking slower also helps to convey gravitas

There's a great book out there, "Change your voice, change your life." It's helped me a ton. It has a ton of exercises and practices. I do some public speaking as a part of my profession, and it's payed dividends there. Even better, I can now speak for two days in a row, a full 8 hour a day weekend seminar, plus socializing before and after, and never get hoarse.
Before the book, I would get a sore throat & have to take a day off of all speaking to recover.
Best part: My voice is deep and sonorous now. I get complements on it regularly.

If you are a man, do not wear high heels ("lifts"). Women wear makeup bc they are ugly and insecure, but you are better than that. Embrace who you are or youre fucked.
manwithoutwire 6y ago
Well you make a good argument, this is quite false. It's a lot more than just height, sure it's a preference for some women like a big black dick is, but it's not the be all end all you make it out to be. What's more important is your ATTITUDE.
Today, I approached a HB7 at the gym whos an absolute giant, I'd guess about 6'4" and quite muscular, she could compete in women's powerlifting and walk away with a win. I'm 5'7" and she had no problem handing her number over to me, and agreeing to a date this Thursday. Good attitude, strong frame, relatively poor game as I'm an amateur but it all worked out.
meninistMD 6y ago
Thanks for the post, you said many things that I wanted to say. I’m 5’6 too, luckily I have more luck than many of my friends, luckily I worked hard to get high social statues, I’m fit and I do have confident personality. However no matter what I do I’ll always see some people who would bring the issue of height and I have seen many women who consider this a deal breaker. I think many like me find this frustrating, unlike weight, you can never do anything to improve your height, it’s genetics, and it’s weird for me that the subject when brought in our society is not frowned upon like racism for example.
However, I’d say if you’re a short guy, don’t let that obstruct you, work on all other aspects and talk to as many women, I adore talking to tall women, and my current girlfriend is 6’1, at least half my exes were taller than me.

AGameofTrolls 6y ago
Yup. I'm cursed being a 5"2 man, but I've managed to have girlfriends who have been taller than me. I've been carded in bars and clubs because I look way too young for my age and my boy body doesn't help at all. But, if a girl is really into you it won't really matter. A lot of people think I have a great personality and it all starts just by smiling and being a positive person. Spread some positivism around and everyone will be glad you're around. So, work on your personality and be a positive person and the stars will eventually align in your favor.

I've found significantly less issues with my height as an adult than I did when I was a teenager. It became such a non-factor that it shocked me.
I'm 5'6 but most women are even shorter than that, or around that height.
But a real short Casanova once told me that "We're all the same height in bed."
Jonmad17 6y ago
Short men actually make less money and suffer pretty substantial workplace discrimination. Accepting preferences is all you can do when it comes to dating, but there's a real place for a public discourse when it comes to height discrimination against men in every other domain of life. If a tall guy is more likely to be hired than a short guy given identical qualifications, then telling the person being discriminated against to "harden up" is bullshit. Those people have a right to complain.
Dating is different because you're dealing with female autonomy and you can't force attraction. If you're a genetically unattractive guy in some way and can't change it, my advice is to just obtain meaning from something other than romance. Most sex is arbitrary and meaningless anyways; find something that you can be great at and attach your pride to that instead. If you accomplish something great you can end up leading a more meaningful life in your 40s than a guy who fucked his 20s away and accomplished little aside from that.
The_Real_Cannaman 6y ago
This. Be stoic, get money (but don't sweat it), pursue your hobbies/sports, get buff as much as you can, dress well for yourself, get a dog and go in nature with him. Get some male friends who can relate. If some 5+/10 woman comes i'll happily plate her but that is all. If u wanna have sex just pay for it. Besides it's not dat expensive, they are usually hot and do really good in bed. Chill, enjoy life and be happy for things u have and don't think about things u can't change. Stressfree life ftw.
I was anxious and depressed coz i'm still a virgin and put dat pussy on a pedestool. And tried to be succesful as fuck but i realized that nobody gives a fuck even if i pick litter on the street. IDGAF.

wildbill1987 6y ago
Honestly man, I haven't cared about my height since High school. I'm 5'5 and never really had problems attracting women. I've been with short, and tall women, I've been responsible for break ups, and divorces. I'm not proud of any of those things. I ultimately blame the women. and of course their's those types that no matter what you will never attract. But you know what, thats Ok. I remember running into some random chick leaving a club in Colorado Springs. I was just starting a conversation with her, and it wasn't like I was trying to hit on her. She made a comment about my height, I responded with a, so? who gives a fuck. She jumped on my face right after that. She was a strong 7, Asian and slightly taller than me. 8 years in the Army Infantry tremendously helped my confidence, and two combat deployment later, effected me enough to just have that I don't give a fuck attitude. Everyone at work respects me. Maybe because I talked to them just how I talked to my shitbag Privates. But ultimately hurted how the women at work interacted with me. I intimidated them, this was something I eventually figured out on my own. I can't just go around acting like a drill sergeant, and telling everyone to fuck off, luckily I never got into trouble, since I really enjoy my job. But people know not to fuck with me, I don't care how fucking big you are, I'll rip your fucking throat out. Sure this type attitude can get me into trouble. But all it's done is made people steer clear of me. I just can't help myself sometimes, stupid, lazy, and disrespectful people trigger me. I remember when I first started my civilian job, I had some late forty something hag going through a divorce try to put me on the spot in front of everyone. She must have been a solid 8 back in her day, I told her to shut the fuck up with the most erect knife hand I have ever presented to anyone. She never fucked with me again. My explosive anger is something I'm still working on, but have made some great strides in getting it under control. Like going back to the Gym. It's really helped with maintaining frame. I'm 155lbs and ripped, plus a nice long thick beard, I've noticed dudes thinking twice before fucking heckling me. I swear women are more attracted to the beard than me. so yeah, just not giving a fuck about anything has tremendously helped.

i've always equated a guy being tall to a girl having big boobs. Sure flat girls can still get lots of guys but they have to be pretty or a good personality. An ugly girl with big boobs can still attract a lot of guys, just like an ugly guy who is tall can still attract a lot of girls even with a bad personality.

Rules in the sexual marketplace do not apply equally for men and women.
If we ever managed to find an objective way to rate women you'd see how 'ugly' women still get much more attention than 'ugly' guys.

Height and muscles are to guys what boobs to a girl.
They attract the attention of the opposite gender but are nowhere near enough to seal the deal.
But they are a damned good attractor nevertheless.

He turned her down at that moment. Accept the possibility that it could happen. The "bro" thing to do on your part is to not care if it does happen.

I have a few tall female friends ( we're talking 5'11+ ) and, apparently while growing up, its almost ingrained in them that no guy will date them if the guy is shorter than them.
One of them is at least logical enough to realize confidence and good looks goes farther for her than being taller than her in high heels.
He apparently has a beef bus too.
Scabsandwhich 6y ago
I thought you were saying, "wrong like if you beleive the Earth's flatness is wrong." Had to take a better look!
As a short male, I'm 5'5", success rate with women is different; however, this isn't going to get in the way if you don't let it. Honestly, I have never really thought about my height past the idea that I am as tall as phife dog. It's who I am.
This post here was good/bad for me. Of course negelecting my height benefited my frame. Reading through this, I could feel reality sink in. Most short men probably would agree with your points.
I dont think I've gotten any taller since sophmore year in high school. I have yet to be, in ways I know, set back because of my height. Having sex with women 5" taller than you isn't as fun as a women 5" short than you, but I'll be damned if I'm ever with some whale I can't "pick up and throw around".
Fact is you can't give a fuck if women care about your height. That's going to break everything you are at the core, because both me and you are stuck at 5'5".
A young, fit, short & leading male will never be as succesful as the taller version. As a proposition, we have to game possibly 30% more women. In a way thise is a bonus, because who tf doesn't enjoy day game. On the other hand it is more work, but more work and harder effort reaps better reward.
Keep fightin y'all fellow short motherfuckers.

I like what you said my man. I’m 5’5” as well and I can relate to everything you wrote. Shorter people live longer, but the advantages stop after that.

I knew this short Okinawian. His father meaned him up good. He ended up a US Marine. He was a ball of muscle but at best 5'5". He was terrifying. Yeah, I probably could have lifted him off the ground by his neck, but every bone in my face would have been broken by the time it was done.

I can agree with you there. Shorter guys can lift a much higher ratio of weight lifted compared to how much you weigh. You won’t see as many tall guys squatting 3-4 times their body weight.
Only disadvantage there is how much muscle you can put on a smaller frame. If you’re going for an overall world record, 6ft+ rules the board.

Or higher totals in general. If it really mattered, girls would be looking at who puts up more weight. Even if we’re just talking about +/- of height, generally it will be the taller people once they’ve filled out. This isn’t Wilks. I bench more = I’m stronger.

I am around your height.. I grew up while the female members of my family made it their mission to make me aware of my lack of height..
So I became redpilled at a very young age.. And this helped become more successful than average/tall dude.. I studied hard, very hard.. I watched a lot of standups.. tried to mimic them and became very good at cracking jokes around everyone (teachers, bosses, girls.. hot girls)..
of course I am not going to lie, I had a double life.. During the day, the funny friendly bro.. During the night, a WAHMYN hater.. Yes, I hate their nature. They are fucked up with 0 sense of fairness/logic. I believe Hate is a good motivation to be the best..
And now I am a MGTOW monk, pussy isn't really worth hating your stature for.. Yes, with enough game you can get all the pussy you desire, but why waste all that time/effort? But hey, we all have different personalities/interests.
What do you want in life? You want to be a comedian? an actor? the shortest NBA player? a leader? the best in your career?? one of the most famous pickup artists? short men already did all of that.. You can do it, actually you have a better ability to do it because you played life in hard-mode and this made you more experienced..

anabolic92 6y ago
I kind of found myself in a similar position regarding this point you made:
But I came to the point that it is a waste of time for me to hate. Why hating? Are you going to change them? Accept them for what they are.
As much as in my BP days, and I still have some days, I wish to get that women hooked to me and be loyal. I realize that it is the very same hypergamy that made her fuck me.
It is also the same hypergamy that one day it will make her ignore me and jump to a higher branch, but I just come into terms that it is pointless for me to hate/worry/care about it.
Just live your life becoming an interesting man for yourself: Life, study, be pleasant to be around, develop hobbies (what I will tell you that you don't know already), and understand that if you are her best option at the given moment she will fuck you.

oliseo 6y ago
You're a "man going your own way" are you? And yet here you are, still crying about Women never wanting you.
The very opposite of everything that MGTOW apparently stands for. Just fuck off and go your own way already.
But you won't. You'll claim you don't need Women, whilst spending every day slagging them off. Failing to see it's your bitterness and lack of integrity that pushes Women away from you. But you're not able to accept that and implement changes to overcome that, which is another reason Women don't like you. Because you're intellectually and emotional stunted. A massive turnoff. Being a cry baby who believes themselves to be a victim at every turn in life is fucking tedious to say the least, especially when they are bitter about everything whilst sat in their areses expecting people to stay and listen to their whining little Manchild petty issues about how no-one likes them and how they eat worms.
Women don't like you because you're nasty, petty, spiteful, and unwilling (not unable) to change that, because you enjoy being nasty, petty and spiteful, as it allows you to wallow in your own self pity.
I'm not going to pull any punches with MGTOW crybabies, they need it told as it is.

5'9 here. Average in my country, though sometimes in the past I've lost targets to taller/buffier guys.
I wear high heeled boots when I go out to look taller. They also fit my rockerish style, so all in all I look awesome, and have never gotten shit for it, furthermore, sometimes I even tease girls with this, if I find it's appropriate.
I see several things I wanted to nitpick about your post:
NO. This is a limiting belief.
I see nothing wrong with being short (average, in my case), but I can clearly see that girls also prefer taller guys. So I cater to my audience, in a totally amoral sense: I outfit myself to look taller because I pull more that way. That's it.
I'd take it one step further. Try them in an outrageous way, like +10cms heels+lifts, as an A/B test to see if you get more IOIs.
It's the simplest A/B test you can do in your life, it's instantaneous (as opposed to say an A/B test being fat/normal/ripped, which can take months to achieve) and you WILL see an immediate difference in IOIs.
Then you can decide if you want to go back to not using lifts, or you can exploit this new superpower.
A lot of guys, well, the majority of guys, won't do this because in their beliefs it amounts to cheating. That's awesome for me, really. Less competition.
No, but you get more IOIs which means more warm approaches which means more % of success.
You guys could do well in learning to scrape all the minimal incremental advantages you can get, since it compounds. Or don't do it, whatever.
This is the most important point of all. But let me connect it with that previous point.
When you really love yourself, wearing high heels and/or lifts is not an overcompensation of your shortcomings but a way to sell yourself better to the irrational value judgers that are women.
Doing marketing for your product, or designing an awesome landing page doesn't mean your product sucks. If you really really love your product you have no cognitive dissonance in marketing it the best way you can.
P.S.: I've never, ever, ever, like, never ever at all, had a girl mentioning anything about my height after she's seen me without my boots. But I only take them off before having sex, and after the sex she'll always rationalize to convince herself it's been an awesome idea.

Women are in a constant state of victimhood and want to be able to profit off of any new cases of victimhood they can squeeze themselves into. I remember just casually saying on short subreddit how women aren't nearly as influenced by their own height as men are with their own heights. Few minutes later... this cues multiple women to go on about how "even a short man is still AT LEAST A MAN" and that "short women have it worst of all" -- their solipsism knows no bounds.
Or honestly they just have a poor perception and judgement of reality and go with feels over reals.

You say you are a human being and you have value. While I agree with the sentiment on a moral and philosophical level, we can never forget that society and people in general behave as though human beings have no intrinsic value. This is especially true in the sexual marketplace.

Height in men is the equivalent of big tits on women. Neither characteristic has much relevance for day to day life, but each feature communicates to something deep in some members of opposite sex.
However, 5'5 jacked will beat 6'6 skinny fat almost every time. Just as a flat chested woman (eg Kira Knightly) will beat a big breasted woman (Melissa McCarthy).
Disclosure: I am the male equivalent of the women with natural gravity defying double D's.

My Tinder profile says "No natural gravity defying DDs"

Why the hell is that your example for a big breasted woman?!
I think you got that backwards.

I’m 6’3. Height isn’t free pass. I’m grinding hard just to get a little bit of pussy like everyone else.

I'm 5'7, never had an issue with my height. This long post you wrote tells me you're giving too many fucks about this. It's all about frame really. If you resolve the underlying frame problems you have, you'll never ever need to worry about height again.

What I believe is that the grass is always greener on the other side and that you are a little bitch who thinks "If I was 6 foot that wouldn't happen" everytime some shit happens. That's not the case for the majority of things you blame your height for. There are tall people who fail on the dating scene,wouldn't those people think that their height is to blame if they were short? I don't want to hear your bitching. Yes being 5'5 looks funny,no being 5'5 is not the end of the game,own this shit motherfucker,we are all getting fucked up over genetics on some way or another,I have small hands for my size you don't see me crying about how women prefer big hands

Small hands is a completely different ballpark to height.

Look at this guy’s username “shortandspicy” he has made his height his literal persona,he has one problem and he focus on maximizing it,focusing on it and live his life through it.

I am talking about genetical disadvantages in general
jrr6415sun 6y ago
no one is looking at your hands. Girls look at height. There is no doubt that being taller gives a much better advantage. No one is saying it's the end of the game, it's just the biggest genetic disadvantage that needs to be overcome in other ways. You're being naive if you don't believe that.

Many women have told me how much they would like me to have strong manly hands to fit my dominant appearance (face-frame-height) and how disappointed they are that I don’t. I am saying that we all have genetical disadvantages and that we can easily fall in the trap of thinking that if we didn’t have them we would somehow be amazing. As I already told you,there are tall guys that are LOSERS,would those guys think that it is their height to blame if they were short?

Many women have told you they think you have small hands?
Can I ask how that conversation comes up? I've never met a woman who cared, or at least not vocally. I've even joked about it with some girls.
[deleted] 6y ago
My attractiveness stems from my dominant aura (height,angry look,dominant facial features in general etc.) now when you combine that with prettyboy hands it looks off and women have told me that I look amazing except my hands and it's a shame because the first thing they think when they see me is to be choked. If you are feminine it can even benefit you but if you are masculine it is a disadvantage.

I'm 5"11 barefoot, above average in looks and rock an earring in each ear. I can confirm that I pull way more pussy then all my 6"5 friends lol. Anyway, anything under 5"10 is short for a full grown adult male in America/New York and that's pretty much a fact.
