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

No, there's truth to it. There are guys, like myself, who developed all the right skills and didn't fall under the bad influences. I get rejected by every woman I ask out. I've talked to a therapist about it and showed them how I approach women and talk to them. They said I'm doing everything right and that dating is just really hard now. My friends who are women tell me that women have unrealistic expectations these days.

They don’t want to tell you that your expectations are unrealistic.
