What would be the positive? That I will be a resident of the friendzone?
At 5'4", of course I have given up. Short guys are disgusting to desirable women. This is a fact, why should I delude myself into thinking otherwise. I do approach women, but you should see the look on their faces when I get near within ten feet of them, like a Gestapo conducting an inquiry.
Miserable life, yes, but I can focus on other things like art, reading, sports, working, etc. OP could do the same if he wants.
Bull****.
Is this one of those "I can't have a perfect 10 so I have decided that all the chicks I could date are ugly and/or fat" malfunction?
I think so.
Hey... You can't date a supermodel. That's more because you aren't a celebrity. Short celebrity males marry hotties.
You need to quit judging women so harshly. I get you not wanting a woman that is obese, but why not a woman who is active, has nice hair and a shapely figure? What about one that's tomboy skinny with beautiful eyes and cute freckles on her nose?
What about a short girl?
I swear, ya'll short dudes can be your own worst enemies.

If you're anything like your internet persona in person then those women have multiple reasons to be disgusted by you. Being short is already an disadvantage, wallowing in self pity isn't going to help your case.
Truth.

Exactly. My late husband was 5'6" and had the charisma that totally blew me away. He had confidence and had no problem with me wearing 4 " heels. He was balding and maybe to some that would be a turn off but it didn't bother him at all. Women loved him. He was a great dancer and a wonderful person. He had his choice of women and he chose me with a little coaxing from me.
I am 5'4" weighted 115 lbs and while I am no Julia Roberts I was not bad looking either.
I know a lot of men from India that are your height and they marry all the time in pre-arranged marriages and some that are not pre-arranged.
The problem is OP, you are basing women solely on their looks.
I never hear a short man saying "why can't I get a nice, pleasant, kind and friendly girl?"
No, it's always "why can't I get a supermodel?"
You expect to not be judged on your physical imperfection, yet judge women solely on that.
Do you see how inconsistent and hypocritical this is?
I've been trying to call him out on his hypocrisy since he started posting in this thread...he honestly doesn't get it and feels he deserves some kind of supermodel who will overlook his physical flaws but he doesn't have to reciprocate. It's ridiculous.

I agree the op is beign a little hypocritical but theyres also a grey area in between wanting a super model and someone youre attracted to
Nice pleasant and kind is fine but theyres has to be some sort of physical attraction for me to give a girl a chance regardless of my huge "flaw" of bieng short call that hypocritical if you want but id rather be alone then with someone i have no attraction to..
Some of you make it seem like short men cant afofrd to have standards physically and should go with anyone who will acceptthem..

I don't think that at all.
I think they should go after women that they are attracted to.
But, here's the thing... you'd best have a LOT going for you if you're wanting to compete with men who don't have the shortness as a negative. A LOT.
I don't get the impression, based on the attitudes displayed in these types of threads, that the men who start them have much going for them personality-wise in the first place.
If so, they could get women that they find attractive. Could they get EVERY woman that catches their eye? Probably not. But, that's true of MOST human beings on this planet, so no biggie there.
I think the being realistic is also nice. It's pretty silly to hold out for the head cheerleader when there are so many other cheerleaders on the squad who are pretty and fun to be around.
Yanno?

So youre saying being short is seen as such a negative by women that a tall men simply has to exist to attract a women where a short guy will have out stick out as some amazing person to get the same girl

NO.
I'm saying that if you take two men who are totally equal in every way except height?
Being short will be a negative.
Kinda like taking two women who are equal in every way, except one has a better body. Better body will win out.
Soo... Work with what you've got. I'm not saying short guys should take whatever chick and never go for what they want.
I'm merely suggesting that if they expect to consistently pull women from the top shelf? They'd best be flawless. And wealthy. Famous would not hurt.
Just remember that plenty of tall guys who are attractive and successful are also not dating supermodels. There are only so many of them, yanno.

We all have standards.
For example, I would prefer to be dating Orlando Bloom than the goose I am seeing right now.
However, Orlando lives in Hollywood with his supermodel wife and likely has zero interest in an old bad tempered computer geek like me.
Based on your theory, I should ignore all of the above and have Orlando anyway.
Isn't that the thought process of the average stalker?
