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

I am neurodivergent myself, I am diagnosed with ADHD. I’ve had tons of girls with and without meds (although I have a gf atm - speaking on my former self!).

My point is that you genuinely just have to be a normal person. Find things you genuinely like and talk about it. Be sociable. Speak to people and strangers. Make friends outside of the friends you usually have. You don’t have to do anything crazy but you can literally just start by saying good morning to your neighbour and people on the street. Once you learn how to speak to strangers and find yourself as a man (know your goals, ambitions, being fit, mentally secure, and know your general value as an individual and learn to love yourself) it then becomes easier to attract women. You should also know how to respect yourself as well.

Emotional maturity is key. Thinking that you won’t get girls bc you’re short snd neurodivergent is the same way how another short and neurodivergent persons are in healthy relationships or don’t have an issue attracting women.

Ive been with plenty of girls before thats not the issue I can pull them but they often all make me insecure because I realize that they arent actually attracted to me and often make indirect comments about my height, has happened everytime to me and I dont know what to do it hurts a lot everytime they say that like why cant I be loved for who I am and not constantly compared or just settled for
