Being 5'10" and always in 2 or 3 inch shoes the shorter guys never approach me(or I just can't see them). That's a joke from someone whose been called the jolly green giant her whole life.
Aren't there men's shoes that look good and add inches to height (first appearances and all that)?
Many of my short friends are with short guys and they're happy.
Don't let it become an obsession or you're going to start second guessing yourself and then your other traits/attributes don't shine

Its not that ..some folks just doesnt get it .. i mean they get intimidated ..i've had friends your height and im always comfortable hanging out with them ..infact i care for them like i would to any petit girl .. i treat them quite often with ice creams, luncheons and flowers ..take them to movies ..never felt outta place .. infact i admire taller girls ..its really hard to be very tall for a girl i understand ..but there are men like us who like u ..not for the height but just to be around u know ..i enjoy being a guardian angel kind .. as for some tall girls who pick on guys like us .. thats sad ..i used to be bullied by one such girl in school ..today we laugh together .. never take it personal .. sometimes i joke about my height like the above post lolz ...yes im short but im not short of love .. so i spread it all around .. love to u and all ..peace
So I am a short male (5 foot 5.5 - 5 foot 6 barefoot), and I was wondering, upon first glance, how many girls would turn me down JUST based on height. I'm not going to sell myself in any other way, and be BRUTALLY honest, but I want to know literally how big of a problem my height would be upon a first glance.
The reason I am asking about how big a problem this is upon first glance is because I've noticed that a lot of my interactions with females are very brief and I never really get a chance to have a long conversation with them, so I want to see if its a big deal. Some people claim that height is important but a good personality can make up for it, but I've found that most of the time, I haven't been able to stay in contact with girls long enough to judge other parts of me beyond looks.
Here's a simpler way of asking this: given my height alone, would you automatically be unattracted/not give me a chance if, for example, I walked up to you in a club/other outside place, asked you something in a college class, etc. Basically, think of any situation where dating is a possibility, but you can't really have a meaningful conversation to assess personality and think whether the height part would automatically be a big enough turnoff to say no.
Also, I want to remind you that its an anonymous forum, so no need to sugarcoat, etc. Although I don't enjoy my height, I know there's not much I can do and so I want to see whether its my height or me that's the problem.
Ever considered staring in midget porn? there is a big market for it I hear and good money.
Pft, this may sound shallow (so be it) but, I am around 5'4" ish....that is short. I dont want to be taller than the man Im with. Height would nix out any attraction in a "Lets see if we'd fit into a relationship" way.
Now, Im not saying I wouldnt ogle other parts...but dating would be out.
The thing is, I'm confused about HOW MUCH taller girls want the guy to be. Is it just that they don't want to be taller than them barefoot, or do they not want to be taller than them in heels, do they want them to be taller than them by 6 inches, what?
I'm a dude but I'll level with you from my experience. I'm a dude who is just barely 5'8". Probably 5'7.5" barefoot. Now there's a lot of superficial women who ONLY go after guys over 6 ft. I've even known women, and seen profiles of women online, who are like 5'2" but won't date a guy who is under 6ft. I've only "dated" a girl taller than me once in my life and she was like 6'1", she didn't have a problem, we just never kissed standing up.
Basically it's like money. Some women are just really shallow and want a dude with money. Some women just want a men for looks and height to show them off.
Unfortunately our problem is much more obvious, we're short, we can't hide it, we can't fake it. We need to exert our masculinity in a different way. It's the femine instinct that is not allowing most women to be interested in you initially, so you need to overcome the barrier. Work out more and get a ripped bod, become more of a hardass somehow, try to be a little more aggressive with women when pursuing them. SHOW MORE CONFIDENCE. You're lacking a little bit and it's obvious just by the fact you posted this thread.
You just need to learn to exert dominance and masculinity and control in a different way than relying on your height.

I'd chop off my left nut to be 5'8" barefoot.
But then I'd only have one nut and I'd be self conscious about that.
I used to date a guy that was way shorter than myself. As a matter of fact, he was just the opposite of everything I thought I wanted, yet we had so much in common. We became friends first, then everything else followed.
Normally I would be interested in a taller guy, dancing, feeling protective...but, as it goes, I've always dated someone my height or shorter.
I went to a singles seminar once, and they said to date everyone, tall, short, big, little, don't date people you'd only think of marrying, and it's true. You just never know who you may click with.
Be true to yourself and the skin that you're in. (sorry that was extremely corny)

Good points though youre slightly under average height and taller then most women theyres guys in much worse shape then you
Guys, I'm just 5 9 and I've never run into this height problem. It's personality which attracts women. If you're a nobody, then you'll sit in the corner of the hall brooding. Gotta learn to take control of a situation. Don't have to be 6 4 to be the alpha male.
I wonder if you guys are having a mental block about it, whether the women do it or not.
