It is what it is. If your friend is a 6'4" version of yourself you are going to get demolished on getting attention from strangers just based on looks.

That's bullshit. And you know it. I have had the 8 female from the bar from a 9.5 male more times than I can remember... and I am a blinding 5'6" tall sorta man -- who does not wear lifters. It's all about who you are and your gravity. Make them orbit you and not you orbiting them. Make a scene that the women want.

And, btw, I enjoy tall women. And they don't seem to have a problem with that... naturally.

What is bullshit about what I wrote? I didn't say you can't out pull a 6'4" guy. I said if there's a 6'4" version of yourself he's getting more attention based on looks. In the TS case he's at dinner with his buddy for business stuff not trying to pick up girls and the girl just naturally goes to him buddy and hits on him. His buddy wasn't even try to game girls or create some "gravity pull" as you put.

They will approach a short guy who looks like MJ Fox or Tom Cruise before a tall lanky case. Obviously women are attracted to height but with most girls Face trumps height from my decades life experience. Meaning, if you have a handsome face and dress well then it will stand out more to most women than a taller everyman. Oddly I have found the shorter and often dumpier anglosphere women seem to care more about height than the girls in the taller Nordic and Germanic European nations.

[Bazzwaldo]

My observation is that shorter men have better game than taller to average it out
Take for instance a John Belushi type personality (5'6"), he compensated for lack of height with charisma and humour
Most of my shorter mates have a cracking sense of humour or work out or study harder. It all seems to work out
I'm 6' bald, 105Kg and I look like a fucking heathen and I get the same amount of attention as when I was 78Kg with flowing curly hair....fuck all....when I don't use game

[StrikeBack]

I'm on the shorter side (170cm) and approached quite regularly by women in Australia. Unfortunately, nearly all of them are fat and/or much older. It's a serious enough issue that when I go out, I have to tell my friend / wingman to keep an eye out and warn me when kaijus approach so I don't get blindsided and cornered. I get told by many people, that I look very approachable, but I'm not entirely sure why kaijus are attracted to me, as there are always taller, better looking guys around.

However, on a few rare occasions, I've been approached by petite feminine foreign women. Ended up dating two of them.

[Lucario]

I'm on the shorter(5'5) side and been approached 4-5 times in my entire life, like the chick has come up to me and said " hi " or " what did you do on the weekend ? " .

All have been from tourists. I live in Melbourne Australia.

[Green-On-GO]

After being in the US seeing tall obsession in action mostly from men.

Listening to yanks go on about how tall they are "I 'm 6.6" while trying to cut in on the chicks we were with..It was fucking laughable..no game just size.
Myself and the 6 Melbourne boys I was with never gave ground, a firm "Fuck off cunt" is what these blokes copped.

In my opinion It's Yank game where they have everything from school/college tied up in body size.
Which means athlete or success.I noticed blokes my size not even in the game.Crying over their beers.
After going to Europe alot and here in OZ it's totally different to us...

No chick in Oz is going to score a would be million dollar athlete in Uni while yank chicks can ..Fuck ,their college American football alone is fucking huge.I had no idea..The players are on TV and famous..So I believe this is where size comes into it..I haven't seen this even in Rugby states..

I watched guys over 6.5 just stand there expecting other blokes to give ground..you come into a Aussie pub like that no matter how big and some bloke will do you..It could of been a fame game thing I don't know.

The bouncers however I saw around AZ, LV and SF were not massive ...I would not fuck with them they looked like they earned their shit.

I got approached alot in 14 days in the US..At the start when I was by myself.no talking...which I put down to my vibe,style then after I made some yank mates due to my accent then due to pre selection, mini fame game almost.I got eye fucked to hell and back but did the approach myself....so much fun America

[Vainikka]

im tall and sometimes girls ask how tall i am, but nothing like "nice beard" or somecompliment like that.

[jjtheprince]

I'm 5'9" and pretty decent looking, but I'm not approached too often at all.

I'm in the Midwest though, the land of giants lol. When I'm in a coastal city I'll be approached more often. I've found that women do shy away from freakishly tall dudes on the coasts, but eat them up here in the Midwest. I know of a guy here who's 6'10" not very good looking, beer gut, and extremely beta, but he will get a lot of approaches.

[Artist]

I'm 5'9 and i'm approached quite regularily, often by decent looking girls. I don't attribute that to height since i know many taller guys who score much less.

[BambiNotForLong]

Do you mean just girls talking to you in general or actively trying to game you?

If so I'm short 5'6, average face probably 5 or 6.

I've been approached numerous times by chicks but I've never been gamed as in wanted my number etc. Maybe once but she was drunk as hell.

[Roardog]

I'm 5'5" and I get approached fairly regularly. Normally it happens while waiting in line at the bar, a girl will start talking to me.
Like the other day the bar girl served a guy before me who had arrived after me and I made a face and the girl behind him said to me "yeah, you were clearly here before him, he cut in front of me too" and then we had a little chat.
Or while ordering a drink at the bar, this girl comes up and says "whats the worst beer here, I want to get it for my friend", we had a chat and then she invited me to join her and her friends.

I also do a bit of wedding and event MC'ing and that normally gets me a couple of approaches as well.

[Lime]

I'm 5'7 and got approached quite a lot. Even sometimes with that I look like some famous moviestar.

[Guitarman]

I'm 5' 8" which is 2" below the UK average height and yes, I have been chased by taller women, dated some the same height as me and a couple taller.

But then my ace in the hole which is I play mean lead guitar in a popular cover song bar band attracted them to me.

get a niche!

[azulsombra]

It all depends on location.

In some places girls almost never approach guys, typically where the guys are the thirstiest.

In the states girls approach tall guys and/or good looking confident guys of any normal height. I've winged with guys of all races and heights from 5"5 to 6"5. The 5"5 dude had to work a bit harder and I never saw him get approached but he still pulled some hot latinas, cause his style and energy were on point. A shorter attractive guy with charisma can kill it.

The dudes in the 5"9 and up range(myself included) would get approached regularly. But no matter what, approaching > than being approached. When you approach you do the choosing on your terms, higher risk but higher reward as well.

[germanico]

Silly rabbit, girls dont approach.

[Prof. Ligate]

I'm 6'7. Get approached 1-2 times most nights at clubs/ bars without being good looking facially. When I was down to single digit bodyfat I would say it was more like 2-4 times. Need to go on a cut again...

Being approached is overrated anyway. You'll have a better time pulling girls from clubs/bars getting good IOIs and making the approaches yourself. Fortune favours the bold

[The_CEO]

Not tall.
Have gotten approached. Not often.
Mostly IOI's.

[booshala]

Multiple people have said this, but obviously being tall is a huge advantage that plays on the hindbrain of many women. The two guys I know that get approached the most are 6'4" and 6'5" and they tend to get hit up by petite girls, almost as if these chicks think my friends' height can balance out the next generation.

And as others have surmised, shorter guys have to work harder. I had a friend (pudgy 5'7" Asian dude) who would always insist on going to clubs early because he'd be the first on the dance floor and all kinds of girls would come up to him to dance after cutting moves by himself. They couldn't help be drawn because he was so good and having a lot of fun. Guy lived a wild life with lots of women, RIP.

As for me, I'm 5'10" and the only girls that consistently approach me are fat Latinas.

[RexImperator]

I'm 6' 1"+ and has done me no good. I wouldn't dwell on height.

This has always been my bone of contention, so to speak. As a short guy, I like short girls. Like 5'0, to maybe 5'2 at the most. I don't feel like being shorter than the chicks I date. So I date tiny chicks.

Those girls tend to, generally, be self conscious about dating a short guy. I've actually had to work harder to land shorter girls.

Girls in the 5'4 - 5'8 range, no problem. Some of them are actually self conscious about being "too tall."

Girls trying to game.

I've had girls randomly start getting with me, for sure, but never "Hi, you're cute, we should go out sometime."

Every time I go out with my "big bro" who is like 6'5, a girl will approach him and try and get digits.

[The_CEO]

On the street - day game - I don't think it matters, at least not for me.

Where I see the difference is the results my friends get online.

[MuyTallguy]

I'm 6'9" and white so pretty much everywhere I go people stare. The problem sometimes is sussing out actual IOIs vs. just looking at the giant. When I travel in Latin America, it's a huge advantage but elsewhere not so much. Funny thing re online is a lot of women put their cutoff at like 6'6". I do have a standard reply when I see that which usually works.

[seabridge]

I'm 5'7, and i'm rarely approached by girls, but i do get eye contact a lot when i'm out and about.
I recently broke up with my ex, who was taller than me and a 8. So height have never been a problem for me, but i usually go after shorter girls.

I noticed from friends and guys i know, the short guys gets laid a lot more and have more game than taller people. My big brother and his friend, both around my height, and both have around 100 notches in their 20s. Anyone got any theories about this, or do us short guys just put in more effort to get laid?

EDIT: I did get approached A LOT, when i was in SEA
