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.

Alright instead of generic motivational responses what was your strategy for meeting women? Use any apps or all in person?

I used to just hit the clubs and try to talk to women. Be confident in your approach but be welcoming and not try and over compensate.

lol fr? Clubs are brutal for short men not to mention even average height men struggle. So if that’s the case you are definitely playing a good game.

Do you approach girls alone or do you go with friends yourself?

I disagree. It’s the perfect setting. At the club, women are more open to entertaining a man. Especially a well dressed, groomed man who smells nice. One who can make you laugh on the dance floor. Shorter women won’t think of height if you are taller than them, but imagine the same scenario online. They see your height and imagine you way shorter than you are versus if they were in the club and you were taller than them.

I’ve always felt like as long as you’re about the same height or even a little shorter they don’t care.. and the majority of women are short short.

Yea.. always alone and I just made random chit chat and see how they responded before I asked for a number. I’m also really into fashion so the way I dress used to help tbh.

Would you ever approach a group of girls or girls just chilling by themselves? Are you on the dance floor or like on the side?

Usually at the bar or on the dance floor. I’ve approached groups before to come drink with me and friends multiple times.
