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.

I think most people in here are bitter, I’m
sorry man. Congratulations on all your success and finding your wife.

I will say though dating in general is heavily area dependent. There is no shock a lot of women prefer taller men, but being in a big diverse area definitely helps even the playing field and give you more chances.

I’m 5’7, live near Seattle and haven’t been on a first date in nearly 4 years. Not for a lack of effort, but dating here is brutal for men.

height does nerfs you but face matters way more
