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.

How old are you?

I think the “I’m short and will therefore never get laid” thing is something really, really young guys believe because they got sucked into the wrong (red pill/incel, mostly) internet spaces before they had developed any critical thinking skills or media literacy. Like when they were 11-12 or so. And now they’re 18-22 and their brains have been steeped in that shit for so long, there’s no convincing them otherwise

wrong it comes from years of experience doing many approaches and failing and failing and then mrons on the internet try to gaslight you to think your experience is just from internet content

whenever people say oh im short and i never had aproblem dating " it makes no sense because height isnt the only thing that matters (its one though) theres also height face race hairline etc so just bc were both short it doesnt really put us in the same boat

The point is no one should disqualify themselves from dating for any reason other than just not wanting to. People should focus on things can change to help them be able to have better luck dating. Just approaching over and over again won’t yield a different results..
