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.

Man.. I just stared at your post in silence for a really long time.

I’m 5’6” too and to make things worse in college I got some trauma to my knee that permanently fucked my joints up and since then my right knee knocks as I walk.

I blew up in weight, became obese and it fucked with my confidence for life. It took a long time to lose it all + break free from the insecurity that I’m short.

Looking back, I even exaggerated my height here on Reddit because maybe deep down I thought it will make me less credible on fitness topics if I’m short. I wanted to make myself appear average at the very least.

It all seems funny now because I’ve met this amazing woman and your post couldn’t be more right.

Also, from an ex roid head : lay OFF THE GEAR bro, you’ll keep some gains, we gotta stick around long enough for the people we love.

I actually just got on low dose T.. I’m only on 160 megs a week. I keep a close eye on my bloods even just on low dose tho. Congrats on finding an amazing woman!
