Point is that I'm closer to 5'8 than 5'9, so just slightly taller than you, zero tattoos (physically fit though).

5'8" is not a problem. 5'5" is.

If I remember correctly, HankMoody is not physically fit, not facially attractive, and on the older side. That's not a good profile for online apps.

You shouldn't be messaging with these women for an hour. I'd say my total time investment per girl from opener to meet is 10-15 minutes. I also do most of it at the gym between sets.

I am physically fit and facially attractive. I'm only 36 and I look young. High level of game, confidence, and charisma. Good career and style.

The short thing isn't really an obstacle when I'm out and about.

Sort of the entire point of my post -- I've found online dating apps to be a waste of time.

Are you facially attractive or just slightly above average? If you are truly attractive facially and are 36 you should be doing fine. I know a 36 year old guy in Chicago that slays milfs and 18-22 year old girls just from Tinder and Bumble. Doesn't even take them out, just invites them over. The caveat is that he's 6'5", but I still think he's do OK at 5'5" with short girls.

Definitely pulling cause he's 6'5. If he was 5'5 I'd wager he'd have very few matches if any at all. Some girls, especially in the states, have a huge height "fetish". Works well for your friend.

This debate always turns into those who kill it online and those who do poorly. It makes sense those who grew up with not ideal genetics have always turned to game to punch above their weight in terms of pure SMV.

Naturally when they go online and find out their success is a fraction of what they can do in real life they assume other guys have it just as bad. Fact is if you look like Tom Brady you can have the shittiest text game and girls will jump all over you. In both real life AND online. The difference now is you can now multiply the amount of targets.

Back before Tinder, you'd go out and get one 1-2 solid targets after a night out. $100 poorer and nasty hangover. Nowadays, you can chat with 15 targets and run the exact same text game with better results.

Yes i have met plenty of girls who get hit on in real life and have plenty of suitors lined up, but they need their side fun fling. Discretion is huge in Asia. Top Tier talent exists but they are there to hunt for top tier talent. So if you aren't getting eyeballed in real life, chances are you're gonna get bad results online.

In real life they may be surrounded by betas at work. And think about it, if you get cold approached by a stranger at a coffee shop vs checking his online social media via Tinder, I'd wager a top tier girl would be comfortable enough with the later option.

Now if you belong to the 80% of guys who aren't meant for online game, you'd be wise to stop spinning your wheels and delete your app. But fact is, online game is here to stay, espeically those in Gen Z who've grown up with the internet their whole life.

If you want access to young hotties, you gotta step up your online game or be left out. Anyways some helpful tips:

1. Age (If you are 30+ LIE and put 27/28 if you can pull it off. Very few top tier girls will date more then a few years older then yourself besides a few niche girls).

2. Pick a good photo. If your lacking in that department pick a photo that showcases your lifestyle. Don't be a dweeb and put some generic photo, that only works if you have good genetics.

3. If you are under 6', don't put your height. Don't mention it and have your photos look above average height.

4. Don't go on dates with girls over 29. They are harder to put out and more experienced in giving out shit tests. I set my age range to under 25 only.

5. Get them off Tinder ASAP, get their line / whatsapp / number and go from there.

6. Ask for a video chat prior to meeting them or ask for a full body selfie. You may have to initiate first. This way you can weed out the SIFs.

7. For god sakes don't get oneitis on any of these online hoes. The more options you got the better your results will be.

8. Don't go on dates with 5's. They have the worst attitude cause they've been pumped and dumped so many times so their shields are up. At around 6.5+ I notice a softening of attitudes.

9. Finally, its a numbers game. You NEED to have a copy and paste template and formula to get them to hang out. Many girls won't play along, just drop them. I have almost 1000 LINE accounts on my phone.

A good date conversion rate would be 20% of those contacts, with bang rate above 50% on first date.

[HankMoody]

I hate to tell you guys this, but there is definitely a form of disqualification for short guys. I'd be lying if I told you that a 5'5 guy can run around and slay nothing but dimes with ease, as long as your game is strong enough and your pictures on Tinder are solid.

The reality is that us short guys can do well for ourselves, but it takes more effort.

In some sense, being short has been a benefit because it's made me up my fitness, style, and game. I can hold my own anywhere, with anyone. I've been told countless times "I don't think of you as short." Part of that is because I have a "larger than life" personality, which I had to develop.

On the other hand, you have to be realistic.

Some women simply aren't attracted to short guys, no matter how charismatic, rich, fit, or awesome you are. When you're 5'5, competing for the same girl with a dude who is 6'3 and looks like he plays tight end for the Dallas Cowboys is a challenge. Anyone who tells you differently is selling something. Women are physically attracted to tall, physically fit men. Just like us men are attracted to slim, feminine women. It is what it is.

All that aside, I've never let height hold me back. However, I have found investing tons of time into swiping apps does not give me a good return on my investment. For me, that time is better spent reading game or going out and talking to women in person. They're usually past the "height thing" within the first minute or two of our conversation.

Your results may vary.

[HankMoody]

Also, to any short guy n00bs reading this post, don't get discouraged. Just understand that:

- Swiping apps put you at a disadvantage, so don't invest too much time in them. I've met some decent girls from swiping apps, but I'd say it's a relatively large time sink compared to the benefit. In the real estate world, we call that ROI - return on investment. The ROI is low. This is not me moping, it's just reality. Swipe apps are based on initial physical attraction.
- Women, in person, will overlook the "short thing" if your fitness and game is on point. Develop a "large" personality. In my mind, I'm 6'4.
- Some women are dead set on having a boyfriend who is 6'2, owns a big dog, and has tattoos. Oh well. You're also allowed to be picky.
- Short girls and tall girls are the most picky about height. Girls who are 5'3 - 5'6 don't really seem to care one way or another. And yes, I prefer shorter girls, who happen to prefer taller guys.
- Life isn't fair. This girl blew me off before we met in real life, just like I don't swipe right on fat girls. It is what it is. Rejection makes you stronger. At this point, it's her loss, not mine.

My practical advice...

- Wear boots when you go out. Every inch counts in the initial approach. Once you've banged, wear whatever the fuck you want to. My preferred shoe is a Sperry docksider (which gives you zero additional height, but it's comfortable and stylish).
- When you workout, focus on a wide grip chest to neck bench press, military press, pullups, and lats. Makes you look big, even if you can only put up 135. Just having a V body shape works.
- Talk loudly, laugh loudly, tell stories, use hand gestures, stand contrapposto, make eye contact, and wear your shirts open. Hold yourself out like you have a 10 inch cock. Don't get emotional, and laugh off other men who make short jokes.
- Don't shave your chest and grow a beard. Alternatively, go straight Jeremy Piven and wear nothing but white dress shirts with Windsor knot ties. Whatever you do, avoid looking like Frodo Baggins.

Agreed that it should be more like 10-15 mins no way an hour of my time for some chick I haven't met.

Hank, also I think you're harshing too much on online vs spending similar amount of time chatting up a girl at a bar that goes nowhere. Esp since you didn't have to get dressed and go out.

In 2018 we have to be intelligent enough to concede defeat.

In my experience, online dating had its golden years from 1998 to around 2013....pretending we have any power whatsoever.

The top 1% of men on dating apps (jacked, young, pictured with a surfboard) are having some success, and even then it's no picnic for them either.

This is simply not true. If you have high SMV offline you have it online if not moreso due to ability to curate your own photos & communicate an interesting lifestyle. It's a limiting belief to think you have less power than they do.

I'm not jacked, I'm almost a decade older than Hank, and by merely filtering through girl's online profiles I've been able to bang models and plenty of hot college chicks 19-22, grad school chicks, etc. I am above-average height but so are millions of guys.

Sorority girls aren't looking for jacked 22-yr olds online, they see them every day at the gym/on campus. They want to meet older men with life experience, at least half of them anyway. For the price of 2 drinks and maybe an appetizer you can get ~60% of girls who are interested online to come out and meet IRL.

edit -- someone said you can't meet very hot girls from online. Nothing could be more wrong.

They're surrounded by dudes all day, but:
1) Most guys are very afraid of super-hot girls, esp if the girls are tall. Ask any really hot girl you know and she'll tell you how few guys have the cojones to actually start a conversation with her. The 5'4" fit guy with game will usually choose the 5'6" target over the 5'11" one.

2) They don't want boys, they want MEN. They've been dating 'older' their entire life. I've lost count of the number of 8/9s who have told me they won't date anyone under 27-30, sometimes 35+ or more. I was shocked too but after 5 years of online [and real life] gaming it's much more the norm than not. Add in older man and Daddy fantasies and you can do extremely well at over 40 - I've been saved in their phones as 'Silver Fox,' 'Handsomest Man' and I am not anywhere near Clooney/Pitt.
Plus, they all have crushes on at least one older professor.

3) They don't want to fuck up their social circle. Hot girls at college actually have a fraught existence, dating-wise, if they don't want to be seen as sluts. [someone will write an amazing book or PhD thesis about this someday].

If some guy pumps and dumps them on campus they're now used goods. They don't want to date guys who are friends as we all know, they can't/won't date guys their friends have dated usually, co-workers are afraid to date anymore, and some of them actually take their studies quite seriously and don't even go to bars to meet random Chads.

4) They wouldn't be online if they didn't want to meet random 'strangers,' it's the same to them as meeting randoms in a bar. Online is safer, more efficient for them like us, and they can strike up a convo with an older guy without their friends/outside world knowing about it. If they want a professional from law, finance, medicine, etc they can find that too. And when they go to a bar to get drunk with 3-5 girlfriends they might not want to talk to any strange guys! Behavior now is not the same as 20-25 years ago when that was the whole point.

Day/night game will never go away, but today's college girls have been weaned on online dating. It should always be another tool in your arsenal. And it's easy to get good at.

Ok so lets back up for a second.

1. What site(s) are you using to bang lots of hot 19-22 year olds?

2. Are you using your real age or close to it?

3. What city are you located(If you don't want to give the location just give an approximate metro population size)

[Lermontov]

I have a 30 y.o. buddy who's 5'6 and also a lawyer. He's an amateur bodybuilder with a well-proportioned physique and a small waist. He has more sex than he can handle. He has frequent hook ups through social circle, night game and tinder. He appears very confident with a large personality but he remains a bit insecure about his height, making at least one remark about how tall and lucky I am every time we meet.

We tend to focus too much on what we don't have and what we could have been if...

[DonnyGately]

This is what I mean by self-limiting beliefs....

1) What sites/apps are college girls on?

2) I'm more than double their age, how do you think that works?

3) I bounce btw major population centers for work. Lots of girls around, same as most guys here who live within ~25-50 miles of a big city or a large state campus like Michigan, UNC, Penn State, et al. Or takes business trips there.

Why do you think the hot sorority girl is on an online dating website/app in the first place? She gets all the extra validation she wants from FB/IG/SC. 'The customer don't walk on the lot unless she wants to buy something.'

As others have pointed out here, the norm of older man/younger girl has been portrayed as 'weird' by aging ugly feminists. But their desire has not changed one iota and has even increased with the taboo. I'm happily exploiting that market inefficiency via online; and offline to a lesser extent.

[HankMoody]

So then after posting this thread, I met a pretty awesome girl off Bumble tonight.

Funny how this shit works.

I actually violated my own game rules and texted her after leaving her place:

"yo beautiful. had a good time tonight. want to see you again tomorrow."
"You are beautiful! I'd love to see you again."
"cool. gym tomorrow and then steak."
""

So, I don't know.

How can you give practical advice on short guys if all of your posts are you complaining about your height?

The bolded part is totally ridiculous, it is overcompensating and women and by the way everyone smell that.

My advice is. If you dont give a damn about your height, nobody will give a damn about it too.

I would say definitely that chicks I get from online are not so cute, considerable amount of them are just mental.

[torridon747]

Online dating is looks maxing till you can get a hook. If you can't cut that then you're either not trying hard enough or are ugly as shit and no angle will help you. If you're reading this, chances are you're not the latter.

[Mumbojumbo]

In many countries in SEA girls use Online Dating sites as their Instagram/ Facebook 'ersatz' validation tool. They do want to chat online and get an invite but never have plans to meet anyone really.

The trouble is that it makes you invest less in online conversations and push for a meeting right away which leads to broken conversation threads which in turn lead to even less girls coming out on a date. It's a bit of a catch-22.

[TigerMandingo]

Fuck online. I'm 6'3 and very toned and that hasn't helped me a bit. "you need better pictures bro!!" Nah, from now on, I'm doing strictly daygame. I'm with you, Hank.

Edit: Rocha I love you man but take it easy on our brother Hank. The shallow nature of American bitches knows no bounds. They really will dismiss a guy over height and it can be very demoralizing at times.

I think our online dating lexicon is a bit different. Hank started a thread and he's using Bumble. Are you talking about SA?


My experience is that age filters won't even get you on the radar of younger girls from what I have seen on most of the 'traditional' apps. I've done the tests myself as have other thats why i'm asking what specific site are you using and what age do you set? I have no problem getting matches but I won't match with younger girls if I don't set my age to around 30 or younger. If I set it higher they won't match....in fact they won't even see it. This has nothing to do with limiting beliefs....I match with women based on what age I put down. This is why i am curious if you are close to 45 how you are even matching with younger girls on a consistent basis without shaving off 15 years on your profile unless you are using a different app or are in a metro that is different than what i have seen for matching.

I'll do an experiment right now;

*OkCupid in a metro area of 5+ million people.
*Girls who have logged on today ages 18-22

Profile set 40 = 14 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 38 = 15 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 30 = 70 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 29 = 80 girls show up on my profile

*OkCupid in a metro area of 5+ million people.
*Girls who have logged on today ages 22-25
Profile set 40 = 34 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 38 = 41 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 30 = 261 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 29 = 296 girls show up on my profile

[Player_1337]

Even if you implement alcohol and tight logistics, the worst part of online dating is the often failed first meeting/'drink date to nowhere' phenomenon.
You never know if they're just looking for attention and/or are serial 'first daters'. Most of the time these chicks disappear (especially if you didn't bang on the first meet).

This is why I absolutely always meet a new girl (especially online prospects) somewhere within walking distance of my place. Optimal efficiency.
Even better- have them come straight to my pad. Ends in bangs 95%+ of the time.

No one uses Okcupid anymore, again everyone has migrated to Bumble / Tinder / swipe apps. Why would a hotties use OKC where she would get flooded with messages rather then the guys shes interested in. Only girls left on OKC are the bottom of the barrel.

Yes. One thing I do when I look for an apartment is immediately check if there's a bar within 5-10 minutes walking distance. This is key to online game and keeps time sink to absolute minimum.

Most people are still meeting in traditional ways (social circle, work, or on a drunken social outing). Internet dating is an awkward contrivance that is not suited to developing a substantive relationship (or even a MLTR) because the "first date" often requires a snap judgement to be made, and most girls have too much choice in the arena to wait for something to develop if they don't feel it right off the bat. Sometimes you'll meet a chick who is DTF - or a rare situation where you are just her exact physical type (and she's a few points below you in SMV) that she ends up chasing you.

For the most part, dates-to-nowhere are common, even if you have your logistics set.

- Talk loudly, laugh loudly, tell stories, use hand gestures, stand contrapposto, make eye contact, and wear your shirts open. Hold yourself out like you have a 10 inch cock. Don't get emotional, and laugh off other men who make short jokes.
- Don't shave your chest and grow a beard. Alternatively, go straight Jeremy Piven and wear nothing but white dress shirts with Windsor knot ties. Whatever you do, avoid looking like Frodo Baggins.

How can you give practical advice on short guys if all of your posts are you complaining about your height?

The bolded part is totally ridiculous, it is overcompensating and women and by the way everyone smell that.

My advice is. If you dont give a damn about your height, nobody will give a damn about it too.

I've never complained about being short.

Like I've said countless times, it is what it is.

Is it a SMV disadvantage? Yes.

Will it completely inhibit your ability to meet hot women? Absolutely not.

These are my observations, and what's helped me get ahead of it.

See, and this is the thing. Short is one of the few things you can't really fix. If you're fat, you can lose weight. If you're skinny you can gain weight. If you're poor, you can pretend to be rich or make more money. But your height is immediately glaring and something you can only compensate for by a few inches (i.e., wear boots, inserts, etc.). Now it's practically "required" on online dating sites.

I'm saying this from experience. Some women definitely do disqualify men based on height. I wish I could tell everyone different, that women won't disqualify you over height if your game is solid enough, but it's not the truth.

It's not a complaint, it's not a rant, it's just a reality.

What can we do? Acknowledge it, accept it, and adapt.

We can either be forced to accept the confines of our genetics, or excel in other areas.

I choose the latter.

My experience is that age filters won't even get you on the radar of younger girls from what I have seen on most of the 'traditional' apps. I've done the tests myself as have other thats why i'm asking what specific site are you using and what age do you set? I have no problem getting matches but I won't match with younger girls if I don't set my age to around 30 or younger. If I set it higher they won't match....in fact they won't even see it. This has nothing to do with limiting beliefs....I match with women based on what age I put down. This is why i am curious if you are close to 45 how you are even matching with younger girls on a consistent basis without shaving off 15 years on your profile unless you are using a different app or are in a metro that is different than what i have seen for matching.

I'll do an experiment right now;

*OkCupid in a metro area of 5+ million people.
*Girls who have logged on today ages 18-22

Profile set 40 = 14 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 38 = 15 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 30 = 70 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 29 = 80 girls show up on my profile

*OkCupid in a metro area of 5+ million people.
*Girls who have logged on today ages 22-25
Profile set 40 = 34 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 38 = 41 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 30 = 261 girls show up on my profile
Profile set 29 = 296 girls show up on my profile

Online dating heavily favors physically attractive people.

In other news, water is wet.

If you want better results with online dating then here are a handful of tips:

- Get better pics
- Work on text game
- Lie about your height

This is what I mean by self-limiting beliefs....

1) What sites/apps are college girls on?

2) I'm more than double their age, how do you think that works?

3) I bounce btw major population centers for work. Lots of girls around, same as most guys here who live within ~25-50 miles of a big city or a large state campus like Michigan, UNC, Penn State, et al. Or takes business trips there.

Why do you think the hot sorority girl is on an online dating website/app in the first place? She gets all the extra validation she wants from FB/IG/SC. 'The customer don't walk on the lot unless she wants to buy something.'

As others have pointed out here, the norm of older man/younger girl has been portrayed as 'weird' by aging ugly feminists. But their desire has not changed one iota and has even increased with the taboo. I'm happily exploiting that market inefficiency via online; and offline to a lesser extent.

No one uses Okcupid anymore, again everyone has migrated to Bumble / Tinder / swipe apps. Why would a hotties use OKC where she would get flooded with messages rather then the guys shes interested in. Only girls left on OKC are the bottom of the barrel.

The results I've seen are the same across Bumble and Tinder. I used OkCupid because I can provide statistical evidence on how many matches will be dropped based on age because it has an advanced search. When i changed my Tinder age to 30 the girls under 25 go through the roof but not if my age in upper 30s.

I agree with you OkCupid is shit compared to what it was 7 years ago.

So then after posting this thread, I met a pretty awesome girl off Bumble tonight.

Is she taller than you?
