You need to somehow make it obvious without being obnoxious that you make that much money.

As my cousin used to tell her short younger brother, “don’t worry, you’ll look tall while you are standing on your wallet”

What do you do? How much do you earn? Have you paid off your debt and if so how much do you have saved?

Yeah, but what kind of gold digger does your advice attract, ycch!

I would not because you really run the risk that they are insincere to get to the US, or to land someone rich (compared to the men where they live(. You don’t want that doubt.

I strongly suggest you
1) do hobbies or volunteering related to sincere interests (sports, photography, politics, children, travel, the environment, Habitat for Humanity, etc). That will organically help you meet women that you have things in common with. Once they get to know you, the importance of height will fade quickly.

2) Tell all if your nice female friends that you are ready for a serious relationship. They undoubtedly have friends who seek a good, stable man. Go on blind dates, perhaps one will pay off.

I would try these outlets before looking overseas (where there is the whole financial risk/wrinkle).

You are going to need to make a connection in something other than looks OP, like hobbies or your personality.

My dh is 5'6"; he would cook me excellent dinners while we were dating and was the only guy I dated who liked to cook. We met through friends. But, we didn't meet in the DC area.

There are plenty of women in the US to date, you don't have to go "abroad" if you don't want to. You may want to start trying to date in more rural areas surrounding the DC region.

Date a little older, 5 9 guy dating a 10 but she was a few years older so it worked out

God, yes, look abroad. Get the hell away from this parasite.

Maybe go to a matchmaker first?

If you are a gentleman, beautiful Latinas will not care about your height.

If he was a gentleman he would be able to attract any woman.

Oh please. Stop with this lie.

No one is able to attract "any" woman or man.

Some women will not date a man who is 5'5". They will fall in love with one if he happened to be in their lives for some other reason. But some don't go out there looking to date a short man.

Once you are put of college/ grad school, dating is rough if you are a short man. Not impossible, but tough. People have superficial height and size requirements that are not easily overcome if you did not meet them under platonic circumstances with their guards down.

With work from home and all this virtual stuff, dating is a real challenge.

I know plenty of short men who are happily married. I'd look at your behavior toward women, not your height.

OP, you need to get off dating sites and start engaging in activities YOU actually value and enjoy and meet people that way. Shared interests and values will overcome your height issue. Which, by the way, is an issue in your own mind only, as far as you know, because no one has told you it's the problem, have they?

Dating sites are shallow and based on looks first and foremost. And OP, you yourself are being -- I"m saying this to help you, not to slam you -- hypocritical. You don't want your appearance (height) to be all that women notice about you, yet you mention "attraction" (code: looks though you're OK with "not a model"...!) as your criterion. It is in fact the ONLY thing you mention, just "attraction." Don't be shallow and you wont' attract shallow people. Do things that you really care about -- a sport, a volunteer gig, participate in whatever arts you like, etc. etc. Do it for its own sake and meet someone who shares that interest. Guess what? Interesting people become...more attractive, and not just in their not-quite-a-model looks.

All the women who want to be married and have children and you can't find ONE?

If your goal is a happy marriage instead of an economic alliance with a desperate woman, figure out what it is about your personality that is a turn-off for women. Do you have issues with being rigid- slightly compulsive with cleanliness or a lot of strongly held personal convictions? Women are attracted to amiable men. I sincerely doubt it is your height.

I'd guess it's rhe amount of hours you have to work to make a 1% income at 30.

Interested in a divorced mom of 2 kids?
