How to compensate for shortness

[anonymous12345]

Height is as known extremely important. A man who is taller has as foundation dominance, and therefore has a different playing field than others. A friend of mine is, and he can for instance afford to use heart emojis and be very sweet, because he is taller. That’s my understanding.

I’m relatively short, 170 cm/5’7”, so I can’t be too friendly in communication, and don't have game with girls my height (which is most girls). If you’re equally tall as the girl, I believe one is categorised as a friend, and romantically treated accordingly, meaning rejected.

Feel free to spill your brilliance on how to compensate for shortness.

There's no specific prescription for shorter guys...all I can say is don't try to play up the whole machismo tough guy angle and definitely don't make the mistake of try to get overly muscular and big, you'll just end up looking like a clown.

I think the best thing is to play up your rizz/swagger and not-give-a-fvck attitude. Being centered, unreactive, confident. Also...it's probably a necessity to be somewhat wealthy if you want to land 8+ women, at that height. But if you're in Sweden, maybe not, from what I know American women care more about height than almost all other women.

I base all this off a friend of mine who is Asian and about 5'7 but he slays because he has the above qualities I mentioned.

If a guy is 5'7" and in Sweden (a taller country), that's going be very difficult.

How realistic is relocation to Southeast Asia?

Money and muscles can help compensate to some degree. @FlexpertHamilton did mention what can happen to Western shorter guys who get muscular.

I think you're approaching this topic with a self-limiting belief.

Height definitely matters, but it's one of those things where it's not such a big deal unless you make it a big deal. For example, Zac Efron is 5'8". Do you think women care? No...he's wealthy, famous, attractive, and in great shape. Do some of those things.

It also generally helps to pursue women shorter than you. Looks like the average height of a woman in Sweden is about 5'5"-5'6", so it shouldn't be as difficult as you might think.

Gotta start thinking in width. Get broad shoulders.

Here's why I (taller guy) am jealous of shorter dudes: you will be able to generate more force with certain important compound exercises in the gym. For example you will be able to get bigger biceps in a shorter amount of time. It also won't take as long for you to get rid of that skinny look( if that's the case). Tall guys can be ripped and strong but still look skinny unless they're really consistent om getting wider.

Other than that, everything what been said above in different posts. Personalty comes a long way. If needed double down on your swagger. Be unfazed and I'd even say make it a challenge.

Every man regardless of his _fill in deficiency_ should have the same goals: to make money, be mentally sound, look as fresh as possible, and to live his best life at all time. Height doesn't matter .

I think the main thing with being shorter is to not let it bother you (easier said than done, I'm sure). If it is something you are insecure about or trying to compensate for, that's how you're going to come off. And will make the girl wonder if it's something she should hold against you. As they say, make the girl come up with her own excuses to reject you, don't provide them yourself.

I think one thing that tall guys have going for them aside from dominance, is being tall gives them a better look, and helps them keep the weight off. Clothes look better on them, and it's a classic male look.

If a guy is 5'7" and in Sweden (a taller country), that's going be very difficult.

While we're in that part of the world, on Saturday Night Live last night, they said Norway is the country with the largest average bra size. What is up with that, I wonder? And how do I move there (just kidding lol)?

Leave the Internet and have a interesting life outside of it.

Still here in The Philippines, I go back to the states February.


I took a morning walk this morning. I usually dress like a hippie when Im taking these walks. Instead, I decided to change it up with my Fedora Hat attire and I get some indicators of interests and stares from a few cute young women….Now I just gotta learn how to initiate a friendly conversation.

Be handsome.

My longest LTR was with a girl my height.

Hi Traveller,
Well first of all,get rid of your beanie,then be happy with a short Lady,no shortage of those in the Philippines....One of my best plates is Malaysian/Chinese,only four foot eight in her socks but she goes like a Shvit house door in a Hurricane...Haven't seen her in six months,would pop around,but Nookie is very much on a barter system,and only Mad Dogs would go out and toil in our Summer Heat.

By not worrying about it, dum dum

You stop worrying about it, that's how.

If you can't grow taller, grow wider. Get nice and fat!!

Social media and dating apps have blown this nonsense out of all proportion

In reality you will be able to win a lot of women arround with charisma and humour

Women primarily bond with men emotionally, although its the physical attraction that will usually get a guys foot in the door

But even then just dress very well , have a good haircut and beard it will usually be enough to get a window of opportunity

I'm not much taller than you and have never really had a serious problem some chicks will instantly disqualify you but to be honest thats good
