Short men and romantic relationships

[Anonymous]

OP here —honestly there very well might not be an issue. He hasn’t said anything. You just hear about a preference for taller men. I’m glad to hear that it really isn’t a problem. I’d be surprised if he’s gay because of conversations we’ve had including if a friend came out to them to be sure they knew our house would always be a safe place and he has a gay cousin so he knows it’s not an issue with extended family either. Of course he could just not be out to us.

My 5'6" son is only 15, but he has already had more girlfriends than his 2 older brothers. And, at this stage in life, he is the least good-looking of the bunch. I have no doubt that he will find love.

Height is only one trait. If he is good in every other category, I’m sure he will be fine.

While there are unattractive short men, you can also be tall and unattractive. My friend is married to a guy who is 5’6”. He is good looking, smart, fit and extremely competent. You would never even notice his height.

Im 6’1. When I was on the dating market women didn’t flock because of my height. You need more than height. Intelligence, ability to listen (women talk a lot), etc come first in my opinion. A 5’6 man who is smart, attentive to women with their stories etc will do much better than a boring 6’1 guy.

Lol. women possess higher levels of language protein in their brains. Research shows that most women speak on average 20,000 words per day, approximately 13,000 more than the average male.

I’m a man shorter than your son and didn’t have my first kiss until my early 20’s. I had low confidence in my teenage/college years but in hindsight there were definitely women interested in me.

1. What ethnicity/race is he?

2. What ethnicity/race of women does he have a preference for?

3. What’s his career prospects / earning potential?

5’6 won’t stop you but things he should do to maximize his earning potential:

- have an elite / status maximizing job / education / networks etc

- open his preferences to East Asian, south East Asian, south Asian, middle eastern, Latina women

- focus on hitting the gym

Studies show, the physical trait that is most linked to female sexual satisfaction is shoulder to waist ratio - the classic upside down triangle build

5’6 guys of high status, means, in shape, with facial symmetry have no issues in the dating market even in their 20s with attractive women of a similar age

At 6’3/6’4 border, there def is an inflection point where it changes and you can get away with a lot of stuff

6’1 still is sometimes common enough in certain settings whereas 2-3” more and suddenly it’s exponentially more rare

Girls only care about this in HS. Once he gets out in the real world, many women will see past the height and look for a kind, smart, thoughtful man.

If he were 5' 2" it would be another story.

Yeah, I mean 5'6 is acceptable. That I will accept. But if you're 5'5, you have no business here. You're basically not a human.

I would think girls would care less in high school when boys are still growing.

No, you just described a bunch of short guys who have women because they have money. If they were average wealth, they’d be alone. Fact.
