LittlePrince Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Try internet dating and look for women that don't have a height requirement. Women who date online aren't less picky but even more so and their height requirements become completely blown out of proportion. Link to post Share on other sites
oaks Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It seemes as though tthat this is a problem that will be very difficult if not impossible to overcome. If you believe that it will be impossible then you'll probably be right. Lots of people get over adversity in life, and in dating, but usually because they believe that they can overcome something that is (or seems to be) a difficulty and are prepared to work on it. Start with the attitude of "I can" and go from there. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 If Woman A (or Man A for that matter) is willing to overlook certain physical flaws if a guy presents a great personality, and Woman B is not, then Woman A is less shallow than Woman B. It's as simple as that. Not rocket science really... Except that a lot of women - including myself - don't see short as a physical flaw 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer203 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I am 5'6" (or so... haha) I have been married to a 9/10 model looking woman, very hot... she had about 1 1/2" on me. Before my marriage and after my marriage, dated and met plenty of women both taller and shorter than me. It comes down to confidence. Even know meeting people, if I feel off - I don't even bother approaching women, if I feel confident that night I certainly do. Anyway, work on confidence first, boost your best attributes, dress well, get in shape, put on a bit of muscle and hit the gym, read, make music, do art, play sports, hike, do anything that makes you special, you need to have a purpose and passion life... if you have all of these things you should be able to knock down some of those barriers you have set up. Good luck and don't give up. Link to post Share on other sites

IndianBabu Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The 'woe is me' attitude is probably off-putting for many women. While no one denies that looks and physical features do play a role in attraction, I do feel personality also plays a sizeable factor. No one is going to approach the sulking guy sitting in the corner brooding about his lack of Brad Pitt-esque features. But if you're out there, mixing it up, shaking your tail feather, your chances of meeting fun, attractive women just went up exponentially. So put on a dress, and shake that thang. -IndianBabu Link to post Share on other sites

Author Sun Devil Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) I do put myself out there. When I have free time between classes, I will go up to a girl I dont know and start talking with her. If she does not mention anything about a boyfriend and we connect, then I will ask her out, but so far, they do not follow through, even if they say yes. On average, I ask out at least 1 girl per weekday Edited September 20, 2012 by Sun Devil Link to post Share on other sites
El Brujo Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Oh come on now. I don't get all sobby and suicidal just because I'm a giant and women only want to STARE at me but nothing else. The way I handle the problem is to work on myself more. Then if they're not interested, well then that's their bad luck, not mine. Knowing that, you midget dudes shouldn't give up and say the hell with it... find out what makes Danny deVito such a likeable guy, and copy it. But in any case, stop grizzling about your predicament and feeling sorry for yourself... this "short guys are undesirable" crap is starting to sound like a broken record. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Author Sun Devil Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 I am currently improving myself. For the past few months, I have been taking martial arts and been lifting weights, which is resulting in an increase in muscle. I am seeing that some posters are saying that it will be very difficult if not impossible to get a girl. Hopefully, they are wrong, otherwise, I may have no choice but to simply force a woman to be my girlfriend. However, this is unlikely since a fair number of posters are saying that it is not so bad for short guys. Link to post Share on other sites

Why is everyone afraid to be alone?. Don't you have good friends dude?. Women aren't the be all and end all of life, they're a very miniscule fraction of it. Link to post Share on other sites

Titanwolf Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I think it's called the human condition. In the sense that you have a good family, you have good friends but you also NEED a partner for life?. I don't think so. I'm not talking about complete solitude here, I'm taking about all but one. No partner. If you're telling me it's the human condition that's responsible for that feeling, I'm glad I don't suffer from that condition. Link to post Share on other sites
