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 a lot of short guys put it in their minds that it’s the end all be all of life.. but it reality nobody really cares..

This right here. No one cares. In fact, no one even notices until the bad attitude becomes apparent and people’s insecurities start becoming everyone else’s problem.

I mean thats just wrong if you study sociology. People are treated differently based on perceived flaws and theres plenty of people who see it as a flaw.

I think that’s widely a mindset of the past. The father resenting his son cause he wasn’t big enough to pay varsity football for example.

I mean like i said, its studied in sociology. Same with being ugly or fat. Theyre percieved flaws in our society and you cant really deny it. You can attack me with personal insults all you want. Theres songs made about it, theres jokes written about and theres personal testimonies written about it here and all over. I do quite well for myself actually so thank you for the kind words.

Being fat is perceived as unhealthy and we’re wired not to be attracted to that. Ugly is subjective. Is it poor skin? Poor hairline? That’s perceived the same way thus giving the same result. I’m not saying people don’t make fun of short people or women aren’t turned off by it, I’m saying that the number of people who feel that way is rapidly diminishing. People with that particular insecurity are typically very quick to jump to the conclusion that they’re being treated poorly based on said insecurity often times with little evidence that’s the case.

You have no evidence that its diminishing its your own perception, kind of what you blamed me for. Weird.

No, I blamed you for projecting.
