Austin Dunham sets dating profile to 5'6, says "height doesn't matter"
What he doesn't mention is that he sets his height down to 5'6 on an existing dating profile. Never mind that he is not what women would consider to be average in looks.
This "experiment" wouldn't be hooey if he created a brand new profile, set it to 5'6 and then started swiping.
I'm in college and dating is okay, but I've read how tough it is for us guys when we get into the "real world". You always hear a lot of people say that "yeah, but if you're rich, you'll be okay". Or they will point out celebrities and say, "see X CELEBRITY gets all of the ladies and respect".
Now, I am not trying to attract gold diggers, so my goal is NOT to get money TO attract women in droves. I'm more curious about how this work. I can't imagine an old balding guy who is foaming at the mouth holding the latest iPhone having a woman say. "OMG, that guy over there has an iPhone 10, I'm totally going to dump that guy and get with that old balding guy over there".
Is it more about going fancy places and going on vacations? Wouldn't that look like you're trying to "compensate".
Even though I'm in college, in my social circle, I'm considered the "wealthiest" because of the gig work I do on the side (I do SEO and word press design). I don't broadcast this though. I wear regular clothes and drive an average car, but so do many of the athletes on campus and they swim in female attention.
You mean to tell me if I wear a suit and tie everywhere or dress in expensive clothes, I'll get way more female attention that I do now?
Shorter Referees More Likely To Penalize Taller Soccer Players

Black women angry at Hinge say changing race gives better options
I don't know where to begin on this. This is no shade at Black Women, but we all know the reality of the dating hierarchy. This complaint to me falls on deaf ears. Of course if you change your race you will get more options. If I changed my height to 6'4, yes, I'll attract super models, women in high earning professions and the whole nine.
"You're Not Tall Are You?". 5'8 Humphrey Bogart, 1946 Movie
Line from the 1946 Movie, "The Big Sleep". Humphrey Bogart was 5'8 and notorious for wearing lifts and platforms in movies as he played leading roles often.
Study reports that women who perceive themselves to be very attractive (either through self-assessment, or via feedback from men in real life or online) have a stronger preference for taller men.
Graham Stephan and Bobby Lee reflect on dating taller women
Two 5'4 guys discussing why they always end up dating taller women. I had no idea that Graham Stephan was 5'4. I knew he was short, but I always figured he was around 5'6, 5'7 or so.
