If your short you can make up for it by working out really hard thereby making yourself ripped and/or stocky. I might be wrong but it seems like short guys bulk up quicker than taller guys.

I will never understand why it is so hard for some to get dates, keep dates, get married, have children and live life. The ENTIRE PERSON is the important part not all the ridiculous "requirements" that fills a list longer than Santa's.

I will be so glad when some of those posting these threads finally figure that it out and get over all this insecure nonsense that is trivial at best in the end.

I'm 5'8 and dated a guy who was about 5'4 once. It was a non-issue because he didn't make it an issue.
I also dated a guy the same height as me who was insecure about it & tried to push his insecurity onto me (I was too tall; he was not too short). It's definitely a matter of attitude.

That's also my perception. However, there's a word I learned recently, about short, very muscular guys: short-jacked. It makes me laugh, and it's an insult. Picture Glenn Danzig, who is joked about. Not a good look.

I'm new here, but this kind of thread has been overdone elsewhere. Here is my advice that maybe I'll just cut-and-paste into a future version of this discussion: wear footwear that gives an inch or so of extra height, stand up straight, don't be skinny, dress well in a way that both is masculine and elongating, consider leg-lengthening surgery if it's feasible and would make much of a difference (meaning it's not reasonable for most short guys), and especially focus on looking good above the neck. I think a good face and good hair can make up somewhat for a moderate lack of height, with women who don't demand tall men.

WTH??

How many men do you "throw" around?????

Not even sure what that means... I don't recall a woman ever "throwing" me around...... I usually always had about 50-60 pounds on them......at a minimum and I like girls with some beef on them....

Good advice, especially with the good hair part. But the don't be skinny part is wrong. I don't like the short men who bulk up. 5' tall and 5' wide doesn't work for me. Skinny is better. And the other poster who said things fit together well sexually with a shorter guy is right about that, that is why I prefer shorter guys

You're not going to get a girl because you wallow too much in self-pity.

Your height is irrelevant.

THIS is the $50,000 question! Why aren't the short guys hitting on short women? Or do they only want "hot" women of any height?

You should just go to Japan and get that leg lengthening surgery already. Seriously. If you won't fix your psyche, add two inches in height and be done with it.
