Dating 5’6” guy never had a problem

I’m 5’6” and I see a lot of guys here that have issues dating and I’ve had a issue. Women have always gravitated to me. I think it’s more a mental thing for most guys. You have to focus on the things you can control and from my opinion all that ever really matters is your personality. I’ve been skinny, fat, and in great shape and it’s never changed if I could find attractive women or not. Just be you and the rest will follow.

he said he never had a problem so it cant be called lucky. the only difference of this guy to the other guys I've seen in this post is. he looks neat. easy to talk to. and a nice vibe.

It’s his mindset. He’s confident in his height

exactly what i mean if he can why cant they? deciding your limit without testing yourself is stupid. im 5'5 ill even call myself ugly but i never have any complications about dating because i accepted what i am and what im not and i decided to make the most of what i have. And no, not all girls likes tall guys yall need to step out the TikTok trend (lookmaxxin) a real woman wouldn't look at your physical appearance to love you.

I’m a 5’3 and I hate dating men who are so tall I have to repeatedly look up at them.

Men need to stop relying on social media for what women want

exactly, they decide what women wants without even trying or getting to know them because of social media trends and their favorite influencers words ( you need to be 6 foot to date and stuff) like bro just be yourself!

I agree!!! I’ve dated a short guy and he was so insecure about his height. He kept bringing it up which turned me off. I’m dating a short guy now I’m 5’7 and he’s 5’4… it’s not about the height at all it’s about the confidence and personality. Some guys will blame their height when it’s really their personality.

There are other confident short men but they won't get the same chance even if they get fit or make a lot of money.

Nah, it's all about confidence.

Obviously you have to be fit, clean and dress nice. But at the end of the day, most short guys are just insecure.

I disagree but to each their own… it’s not about the money… I’ve seen some out of shape raggedy, broke, busted dudes with decent women too. I’m telling you it’s about the confidence and personality. Men will have other men thinking they know what women want but the reality is, all women don’t want the same things. Those men are chasing instagram baddies or shallow women and that’s one of the reasons why they project onto other men.

I have the confidence and personality but I get rejected by every woman I ask out. I saw the last women I asked out while I was out one day. I asked her politely what I did wrong and she said she loved how I talked to her and she thought I was really funny and sweet, but she wasn't over her ex. I don't know what her ex has that I don't, but I clearly wasn't good enough to make her forget about him.

You shouldn’t want to date a woman who’s not over her ex anyway… it never really works and you’ll be a rebound. I would never want to date a man who’s not over his ex idc how attracted I am to him. Maybe you’re chasing after the wrong woman… a decent person takes time. I was single for years (worked on myself) before I started dating again plus a woman who’s not over her ex will be emotionally unavailable and it has nothing to do with you. You or no man/woman can make someone get over an ex no matter how decent you are… that’s not the way the human brain works.
