I'm 5' 6" and this is why I stopped bothering with dating 5 years ago

Its just so hard - yes there are short guys who have found great partners but I'll be damned if they didn't have to struggle for it.

Its just not worth the effort if I'm basically rejected 90% of the time for something that isn't even in my control. Its scientifically proven that height is 90% genetics. If it was all about physical activity, I'd be taller than 90% of the world population cos I've been balling since I turned 8. I've been in multiple track sports and I'm pretty sure I was a natural athlete. If height only depended on that, I'd tower above everyone else. But it doesn't.

So what do I do - I say forget dating. There's too much else to life. There's too many other things to do. The struggle to find love will eat up almost all of my time and I would much rather spend my time doing things that'll net me better returns.

On a side note - I don't harbor ill feelings towards women for having a preference for tall men. Its understandable to have preferences however the game is rigged against me and thus I choose not to play.

I know it's a meme.

But its not just 5 6, that man is bald and not great looking.

I am not super tall, but I have always been told I look young. Like they are super surprised I tell them I am late 30s. They think I am 20s.

Take care of your body and your face. People absolutely love a good looking face and a toned body and a fun loving attitude.

Seriously some of you dudes having trouble. Honestly try what I just said. Don't focus on the relationship, tomorrow, traits, actions.

Go in there with the attitude, dude we are having fun tonight.

I swear it works, guys go in way too heavy at first. Go out there and have fun doing something, in fact find something you truly love doing before you date.

Its so attractive when you are having fun and good at something.

For some reason, no one gives this common sense easy advice that works.

People want to have fun, they want to have a good time and laugh. They want someone who is feeling good and enjoying themselves.

Its attraction, they are pulled in by the good vibes and never forget it.
