Is being a short man that much of a difficulty in dating

If you don’t agree with me, go to any public area with lots of foot traffic and just look around you. Height is not the issue.

Bet that it's social skills much of the time. People with no money and people with anger issues tend to know it. Even people with personality issues often have a clue about that. People with poor social skills? They just keep on thinking they are the life of the party against all evidence to the contrary, and blaze forward offending everyone around them with no awareness of it. They are awful to be around and clueless.

Yeah, but what kind of woman are you going to attract if she'll overlook anything for money?

Well on this thread anyway, all she need overlook is a height of 5'6" instead of 6'.

Both are super attractive, charming, fun, and very athletic. One is a doctor who went Harvard med, and one is a big fed lawyer (as am I, that's where we met). Neither had any trouble finding attractive women to date/marry. No issues for them.

What is Big Fed? Does it pay more, because I’m guessing that he makes good money is always the answer for short men. Yes you make good money too, but would have discounted this guy if he was a nonprofit lawyer.

What? No, I would not have. Would have been just as attracted if he worked for a nonprofit. I make my own money.

Big Fed refers to fed legal jobs that are highly respected, hard to get, and often pay more. For example SEC ... some DOJ components ... that kind of thing.

Big Fed is not a thing.

It really was for me and my friends when I was in my 20s/30s. All the guys we dated were 6 feet plus or just about that height. It's definitely a thing.

You miss the point. I’m not saying there aren’t some women or even groups of women that have height as a requirement or even some kind of social status thing (seriously, you and your girlfriends intentionally screened for height and talked about it?!).

My point is that doesn’t prevent shorter men from finding partners. Just like physical appearance, weight, attractiveness, etc are all factors in matchmaking, so is height. If you are a 5’5” with a good personality, healthy body, good hygiene, and a half-way decent sense of humor you will do just fine.

If that same guy only wants to date 5’10” 20 year olds, that’s a HIM problem.

My younger sister had this friend who was tall and good looking, had a girlfriend and a job, but went down the red pill stuff, started talking about Alpha males and masculinity all the time. Lost his girlfriend. Was rude to his female boss, lost his job. Was rude to his friends, lost his friends.

You can be tall and handsome but that red pill stuff ruins you.

I personally wouldn't date one, but I see short guys with women, so there must be some that find them attractive.

I generally put the cutoff at 6'1. I've confused too many guys at 5'10 for being 6' and vice-versa. 6'1 is when a guy is in the clearly tall camp so that's what I stick to when dating.

There are not enough tall guys for this to be an issue. Even if height was the only thing g women considered( so ugly, fat, poor, old, mentally ill poor guys before anyone else), what percentage of guys are 6 feet? If that same top percentage of women took all those guys, there will be enough decent girls for the decent guys who are short or average height.

When I was dating, I’d never considered height unless he was under 5’6. I didn’t think of extra height as a bonus, but 5’6 was a floor for me because I’m 5’6. I was still pretty superficial and preferred to date guys who were ripped.

Its just not height but below 5'.7" average height in men and 5'.2" in women, it can be difficult unless looks or income are exceptional.

Dating a short man would feel like dating a child. I don't want someone I have to look down on and hold their hand for them to be able to cross the street.

It’s not the red pill stuff. It’s that he was/is an @55hole.

I don't care about short mens opinions.
