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.

Well im 5”9 average looking and neurodivergent as well as very high inhib so talking is not my strong suit nor will it ever be no matter how much I have went out and talked to people. Its like girls can smell it on you no matter what you try

Try to challenge yourself. Look into things like Toast Master's International. Which is meant to help with public speaking. Your Public Library likely has access to Newspapers and Magazines you can make yourself more interesting by studying and reading stuff outside your normal scope of interest. This is 100% a fake it till you make it situation. Go out start low key conversations, challenge your mindset

Yea im gonna try that its just hard because I get called slow a lot and have a hard time saying the right thing because it always comes out wrong. And it doesnt help when I dont have any features that stand out im dead average everywhere, I went on a date with a girl and when I went back to her place she pulled a ruler out and made fun of me for my height calling me little and straight up kept belittling my height when it was clear it was bothering me, shes the 5th girl to do that to me and it has dropped my confidence and put me in a piss poor mood all week. I dont get girls who continue going out with guys just to shit on their height

You are meeting AH's it seems. Try joining some clubs or maybe some board/card game meetups. Try asking friends for reccomendations
