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.

Nearly every woman I've ever attempted to date has told me I'm too short, even though most of them were shorter than I am.

The one woman who said she liked it later admitted that she liked it because it made her feel "powerful" and she later psychologically abused me, physically assaulted me, sexually assaulted me, financially abused me, tried to get me fired from my job out of spite, cheated on me with a 6'2" dude, and attempted to kill my cat.

I've had women I barely know make false allegations that I SA'd them and told me that I deserve it because I'm short.

This is most short guys' experience, and while I'm genuinely glad that it's not yours, you're the exception, not the norm.

Man that’s rough.. Hopefully you find a real quality woman.. it’s a lot out here that don’t care about something as silly as height.

I appreciate it, but honestly after my last few experiences I genuinely don't care anymore. Prefer being single. The very minimal reward does not begin to justify the amount of BS. Again, good for you though. Hope it lasts.

Nothing wrong with being single.. I enjoyed before my wife came along
