I'm 6'0 ft. 190lb so I don't have trouble in this department but I have several short friends who kill it here in Atlanta and when I was in undergrad. One of my boys Is very dark skinned(His nickname is Black), slender, good looking (no homo), dresses sharp, has major confidence and swag so he does just fine & doesnt let his height even be a reason for not pulling dimes...matter a fact I've never heard him complain about his height and I've known him for over 10 years. I think it's about your attitude more than anything and not showing weakness just because of your height.

If I was short I would never wear sole-inserts to make me taller (Especially of the 3.5 inch variey...lol). What's going to happen the morning after If you end up hitting It? I guess If your out for the one-night bang It might be cool but I say let your confidence and your game do the talking.

This is my first post in the "Girls" section, so hi!
I'm 5 7 and used to have a big problem with my height, I just didn't feel dominant and felt that taller chicks wouldn't be interested. It's just a limiting belief, one that ended the first time I laid a 5 11 blonde bombshell. Since then, my attitude has completely changed. I've banged a couple of models, and I'm currently dating two women, both of which are an inch or two taller than me.

Mind over matter my friend.

On that note, good posture and ultra expressive, open body language works wonders. I've also tried platform shoes (zebra skinned with fish in the heel! Talk about peacocking haha) You really notice a difference. Realistically, most women have high heels at night, you're just balancing things out. But even without this compensation, I get more quality and quantity than ALL of my taller friends.

Agree. I'm 5'4 and never had any problems because of it.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I have some thoughts in this area, since I've spent a bit of effort observing/studying it lately.

It seems like height for us is a little like titty size for chicks.

Big Tits: I'd the say the equivalent of some juicy, big tits on a girl is being over 6 feet for us. It definitely helps your cause, all other things being equal.

Medium Tits: This is where most chicks and most of us land (5'8"-5'11"). It won't hurt you, but it's probably not going to help you all that much either.

Small Tits/Flat chested-ness: This is where it become a liability. A girl with a flat chest better have some other shit going in the looks department. If you're 5'7" and below, you're starting to flirt with this territory.

Having said all that (and at the risk of belaboring the metaphor), I've seen plenty of big, nasty tits and plenty of nice, small ones. And, many of us have seen these girls with big tits and no ass whatsoever. You need to capitalize on what you got and package it right. I don't agree with wearing stilts (especially anything over an inch or two) in your shoes which is, frankly, as transparent as a girl wearing a push-up bra. Maximize the height you have, but not by making yourself looking artificial.

I'm 6'3 230, so I've never had to deal with height issues. But if I was shorter, I would just deal with women my height and shorter. Actually, id only deal with women that were shorter than me cause thats what I mostly deal with now.

I rarely meet women that are just taller than me. But when I do, I'm rarely attracted to them. I don't even see why shorter guys would want a woman that is taller than them. That shit looks odd anyway. Why would you want some woman towering over you?

I have a homeboy that's probably 5'5 at the most and the way he compensates for his height is by being extra fly. He keeps a nice car and wears a lot of nice clothes and jewerly and shit.

But there's more than enough short women for you to get with.

Most of women I've been with were taller than me.

You sound like you have some insecurities if you really care what others might think about you. Truth to be told, nobody really gives a shit - everyone else has a lot of other things to worry about besides your height difference. And even if they do care, why would I pay any attention?

There are a lot of reasons. For example, to have sex with them.

[Moma]

All those rappers, TI, Lil Wayne, 2pac, the Clipse are as short as fcuk and they get girls all day. Just up your swag.
I can only speak from what I see from others because I am not in the 5 foot department. But from what I heard, it's not a limiting factor..

[DirkDiggler]

You're worried about your height? Cmon bro. If they say anything about your height just say "well your too tall, so it's definately not going to work between us" or some shit like that, I'm just goin off the top of my head. Just neg her back. Height has a small, tiny factor in wheeling girls. And if she's so hung up on your height, NEXT. As soon as they see a weakness game over. Whether it be height, weight, looks, style, fucken shoe size. I feel the more I don't give a fuck what they say about their judgement of me the better I do. If they don't like you for one thing another will like you for it. Inner game first bro. Or you could just put some high heels on and that cute lil skirt I know you have on and parade around likTe you have a puss if you want.

I have never in my life had a woman I was approaching/dating said anything about my height. Only dudes asked/commented about it.
Women are much less concerned about your height than you could think by reading their online ads.

[lottery]

Man im 5'6 too but that height stuff never really bothered me..but i had many chicks that fucked me and said that i was short and bla bla..but funny enough i only met one guy in my life that gets more women than me and thats my cousin...i dont think girls are too concerned about height..remember that most girls are either your height or shorter than you.

[bigbootyluvr]

add some muscle. wear some slick cowboy boots with a 2 inch raise. I'm 6' but my cowboy boots make me look 6'3. Plus when the ho's see the gators enter the room they know shit just got real

[Mrs. Chocolate]

IMO you are not confident enough about yourself and this is killing your game.

I have. I've tried these: http://tinyurl.com/2faepkf

They add about 3.5 inches (this is including my shoes sole).

Really dude? You embedded your amazon affiliate link? Lame...

[machiavelli]

One girl I dated was 5'10 (6'1 with heels) and for some reason she couldn't keep her hands off me, even though she would make comments here and there about me being shorter (I'm 5'9). Honestly don't think height is an issue, unless you make it obvious that it bothers you, which can end up throwing off your game.

Maybe because there's something extremely sexy about long legs? I especially like it because it's not the 'social' norm

PS. Not sure if this is true or not...but I hear there are some exercises out there that can grow your height by few inches, something to do with your 'spine'..again I'm not 100% positive if it's even real or safe but something worth looking into if you really want that extra few inches (after you consult with a doctor of course!).

[deebow]

I feel all of the short fellas with confidence (Ms.Chocolate, you couldn't be more correct). I'm 5'7" and I had one of my best nights here in Minneapolis last night (that's another story, but it was a thing of beauty). The fact is, game won't get you every one that you want. But if executed correctly, I believe that you will achieve a very high level of satisfaction and that height is a non factor, unless you are like 4 foot.

Also, like some on this thread have eluded to, it sure wouldn't hurt to develop a bit of a physique. You probably don't want to go body builder style but if they can see that you have some decent muscle and and a low body fat%, it can only help (I think that if a woman can look at you when you are fully clothed and tell that you have a good physique that that is the type of look you'd probably want). If basic theory says that women choose men based on the likely hood of survival/protection/provision, then a skinny or fat short dude doesn't exactly project that image. Give yourself something to work with (game - of which confidence is a big part of - being about 70% of your arsenal, look is I'd say about 30%). There will always be women of whom will just not be attracted to you. That's life for everyone on this thread. But, I don't think that short guys are at a disadvantage. I've never seen it that way and I haven't had any problems. I think that if game is tight enough, your height won't even be an afterthought.

[el mechanico]

Im 5,6 and the only problem I have is online shit..I could lie about it but I really dont give a fuck! when im out with my friends running game I kill even though im usually the shortest..
also for some reason I dont think 5,6 is short and nobody ever called me short when i lived in connecticut but since i have moved to florida people make sure that you know that..Im not down with tall girls anyway even though ive plowed many...

[Screwston]

I'm 5'8 and never had a problem. I've had a few girls my height and an inch or 2 taller.

damn 5'6. ur def climbing an uphill battle.

if a guy is under 5'8 he is gonna be facing some steep odds in landing a nice chick long term.

im on the verge of being too short (5'9-5'10) the most important thing is a guy has to be taller than the grl so it usually doesnt cause me alot of trouble.

to be honest im not even sure working out is gonna help alot. ur gonna just have to come to terms with only getting mostly short girls. i wouldnt give up trying to game taller chicks because you never know. ive seen hot chicks with fat guys, ugly guys, short guys, you name it. soo its possible.

keep trying but at the same time be realistic and dont let it bother you.

Awe, come on, I think you're making it sound too hard to get laid by a hottie if you're short. I've seen mad shorties with hotties. Even kids that were not only short, but annoying as shit and I'm thinking, "How is it even possible this kid has a chick, even if he was 6'5." One of my best friends slays pussy, taller than him, better looking, you name it, and he's 5'6". I remember a year after highschool, this kid had a party at his place. He was banging a girl who was a 5 (He banged 5's and he banged 9's, he didn't descriminate) and he made her sneak in and out of the window while the party was going on to bang her, because he didn't want everyone to see he was banging a 5. That sucks he was banging a 5, but that little manuver almost makes her a 7 in my book. haha

I'm with InternationalPlayboy here, why? Because I am 5'6 and Asian, I have shitted on fools who were taller and better looking than me.. it's all in the mind and mindset my friend...If your in L.A., PM me and I would be more than happy to run with you a night or two... ;-)

[The_Wonder]

As a short guy is it better to come across as dominant? Women only "think" they want tall guys because they "seem" dominant, if you can be dominant in a different way it shouldn't matter should it?

[Sexus]

I am not a tall man nor am I a short man. I am an average weight/height man with above average intellect. I played sports when I was growing up (thanks, dad!) and excelled at them until I gave it all up for more intellectual pursuits in the sciences and philosophies. And then I went into the military. I still play sports, just for fun. But if someone wants to challenge me, I'm there and will kick the challenger's ass no problem. No matter who or what sex they are. Women love big muscled men on sight. That is a fact. How could they not? Men ascribe to that too, after a fashion. But add a little wit and whatnot to the day or night, and it does not matter one iota in the end game. Your flag-pole does the deed, not you.

[Filbert]

I am 5'6", worse yet very myopic (-8.5). I don't use inserts and I wear my thick glasses (never worn contacts). Also, I am skinny but with an average beer belly (which looks weird) due to a little bier abuse.
In my case, I play a 'nerdy guy' game. The way i see it, nowadays, many chicks dig nerdy guys.
You just have to be a 'true' nerd, not someone wearing plano glasses and pretending to be one.

So I guess the key is to have a really weird and nerdy vibe. ))
Many chicks' fantasy is to bone a nerd or a geek, just for experience.
Maybe not long-term, but who needs them long-term?

[The_e_man]

Glad this thread was bumped. As someone 5'6, I went through both extremes of the spectrum and have now found a happy medium.
I used to be ridiculously self-conscious about my height. I ordered height increasing shoes that looked absolutely ridiculous. They looked like clown shoes and they really hurt my feet. They were cheap quality (despite being expensive) and just an overall nightmare. The tallest pair I owned gave me about 4 inches of height and made me walk like a baby deer learning to walk.

Once my game improved and I was approaching more, I started taking home girls that were taller than me. That was an absolutely fantastic confidence bump that I really needed.
Then, I got into RSD and the whole self-acceptance / inner game mantra. Switched my height shoes out for Tom's, which as most of you probably know, are flat-soled shoes that have no heel or lift whatsoever. I preached the whole "height doesn't matter - its all a limiting belief in your head" mantra for a really long time.

Now, I am in between the two extremes. I am fully cognizant of the fact that height IS an attractive quality to MOST women. MOST women prefer a guy taller than them, even when wearing their heels. MOST girls will feel a little insecure about dating a guy shorter than them. MOST girls would prefer a guy to be 6' as opposed to 5'6".
But if you have an attractive face; nice body; good style; or tight game, then you can COMPENSATE for this "deficiency." Some girls will think a guy shorter than them is an absolute deal breaker that they cannot overlook. That's okay, she's entitled to that opinion because I personally find a girl to be overweight a deal breaker that I can't overlook; and I'm entitled to that opinion as well.
Some girls don't really get bothered by height at all or could care less how tall you are. But its safe to say that most will naturally prefer a taller guy.

So now I wear dress shoes that aren't designed to boost height. But I will look at the heel when shopping and pick the pair with the slightly larger heel. Sometimes, I will insert 0.5' inserts inside my shoe when night gaming. I don't do this out of self-confidence issues, I do this because it will give me an edge, like it or not.

Ya I'm in your boat, about the same height (or shorter)!

I usually have banged girls my height or a little taller. My current novia is the exception, she is very tiny and petite. Usually tiny/petite girls seem to want the really tall guys! Nature tends towards an equilibrium. So you can def bang some much taller girls! Just be aggressive. Being short, and young looking for me, makes me non-threatening. I was always able to get away with a lot more forwardness and touching right off the bat, where a taller jacked dude might have been too scary to do that.

It's a numbers game. You can do very well for yourself. Our short genes still survive and thrive through determination and humor. I try to be a little Al Pacino-esque in my game, there's a good example of good short-guy game.

All guys who are short need to start putting work in the gym.
