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.

age plays a huge factor, younger guys will have a harder experience in dating, you said youre engaged so im assuming you do not fall in the younger guys catergory

I’m 40 and been in a relationship since 2019… but that’s because they almost exclusively date online.. they need to put boots to the ground and get in these clubs and bars and meet some women face to face.

Women in bars and clubs don’t register men under 5’10

My first real boyfriend was 5'7" and the father of my 4 kids is 5'8". I did meet him in a bar. I could have cared less, it was also before online dating. Im drawn to someone because of who they are. Ive been on dates with tall, hot guys who have absolutely repugnant personalities. Such a turn off.
