Women don’t want to date someone their own height if a taller man is available. I spent my entire life being ignored by women.
I’m 6’2”, so I guess that manly chick from Game of Thrones is out…
I’ve had more than a few relationships where my girl was taller than me - no problem. They loved me for who I am.
But then I do know women who would never consider me because of my height. Their problem. Not mine.
Women that judge men by their height are in same class as men who judge women by the size of their boobs.
Know couple where he is about 5’5 and she is about 6’2”......and happily married.....
I am short of stature myself and never had a problem—but there were some “tricks” I learned over the years.
You want to be “perceived” as tall even when you are not.
How is that possible?
The trick is that all people do not actually see what is in front of them—they have mental images which often do not match “reality”.
Short guys can “appear” tall if they are viewed as leaders or “big shots”. The trick has always been to arrange situations where you were the leader and others (the tall guys) followed you.
If you are not in those situations then you appear “short” again....
It’s as primal and species-preservative as men being drawn to attractive young women.
But you’ve still upwards of half the pool to start with.
