What you guys need to hear. Looks aren't THAT important....
I don't always agree with this guy, but truer words have never been spoken when it applies to men, and these "looks" should also include height.
There are portions of this video where he goes off on tangents which the video could have done without, but overall the message could not be any clearer and on point.
Being short is not a death sentence. Non-select men just have to up their value in other areas and looks while are certainly a positive for us guys, it matters less and less, especially ~30 and beyond.
Plus, Daniel puts himself down for being short (he’s 5’6″) — particularly compared to Rob, who’s 6’1″.
“He has the perfect height to seduce girls, I’m the total opposite,” he said, laughing. “He might be charming and cute, wild and sexy .. I do not have this kind of status, just look at pictures in the press. When we’re put side by side, I look a little silly or I make faces whereas Rob always looks like a ladies’ man. Therefore it doesn’t help me when it comes to the ladies.”
I see that delusional level of people here genuinely amazes me, calling Prince and Bruno Mars "sex symbols".
Now we have 2 short (not even as short as Prince / Bruno Mars) extremely successful actors telling us that THEY ARE NOT SEX SYMBOLS AND THE REASON BEING IS THEIR HEIGHTS.
Of course a lot of people are gonna give tons of excuses acting that they know better than these 2 actors above who clearly have been let down by their heights. That should probably tell you something.
Your answer is in your question. Stop comparing yourself to others and build your own brand. There's only one you, and even living in Europe, 5'10 is just under average in the tallest countries, spot on average in most and above average in places like Spain and Italy.
Good morning all! My name is Andy. I am the VP of Mergers and Acquisition at my east coast based firm. I was promoted six times at my company and manage a staff of thirty five people. I have a JD and a Bachelor of Science in Business. I am one of 5 executives at my company and am one of if not the shortest!
I am happy that a place where confident and successful short men can collaborate and share experiences and tips! This is a nice and necessary space in contrast to some of the negative leaning sites on the web. We do exist! Special shoutout to whoever created this space and the people on this board!
Forming an in-person community of Short Men 5'5"ish and below
Anybody else ever feel that urge to reach out to another "shorty" when you see them? I live on Long Island in the Town of Brookhaven. Let's link up. I'm not looking for a date...lol....let's just get that out of the way. Friends. Hangout partners. Activity partners. If you are a proud member of the LGBQT community....it's all good....you are cordially invited as well. Leave a comment and Inbox me.
Or come up with a name for this category? This site is supposed to be for successful short men. Posts which feature constant whining or a "we just can't get ahead" mindset hurt this site's brand in my opinion. There are enough sites where short men who aren't woke or figured out life yet, whine and complain like little kids.

One guy asked for a refund 3 times by e-mail. This is the response he got."get a life you loser."
Those products guaranteed to make u grow 3-6 inches after using within 3 months. All u have to do is apply it on ur back and neck and behind legs area. Also use a towel to do 5 min stretching daily. They ask u to have a government doctor sign a form and proof u didn't grow if u want a refund. By the time u spend money on a government doctor to sign u'll pay more than the product itself.
They ask u to use it for 60 days at least, since that's the time u won't be able to do a chargeback on ur credit card. Most products come from canada a few from the US. The substance is like oil and random stuff probably that u can get in the house.
We made their BMW's payment for 4 months by buying those products.Keep buying them and u'll give them retirement. I wonder if they 'll ever go to jail? will they keep having success and earn a good income like that?
In the US i guess if ur a good scammer u can get rich quick. retire in 5 years is possible.
was there any defining moment where you realized you are short?
for me it was this commercial, I remember I had the TV on but I wasn't watching it but I thought I heard the Bridesmaids mocking short guys, at the same time I could not imagine a major network would air a commercial like that, so I googled to try and find the commercial and I found it and sure enough my ears did not decieve me and a major corporation (Yoplait, General Mills) on a major network aired a commercial basically saying a short guy is not really a human, and it was acceptable for a female to mock him
Do women like short men who are older? Is there any hope there?
Hi All,
I just discovered this forum recently. I am 31 years old, and about 2 to 3 years ago i just discovered that women are not interested in dating short men. This somehow explained a big mistery that had always gone through my mind: the reason why i have always been single and have never had a girlfriend. I have gone through very tough times when we talk about dating. In university, i have taken lots of winds; all guys were dating (even thr short ones but slightly taller than me). Up to that point i could have never imagined that the height was something to blame. I was putting a lot of effort to date but was always unsuccessful. Theresult was quite catastrophic, as i ended up doing my first time with an escort girl. I wish i could have offered myself a better experience. But that day i remember i was hesitating a lot; i was 21. i said to myself at some point it has to happen, and was hoping to get more confidence after that; i did get confidence after that. Moreover i worked with a psychologue; eventually i started seeing some girls, but realised that this was not lasting long; never more than one month. At some point i dated a girl for actually 4 months but as we got really close to each other emotionally, she said to me that she didn't see me as a boyfriend. I multiplied short term dating (below one month) until the age of around 29, when i then started suspecting my height as a possible issue. by searching on the web i then confirmed that this is the main reason why i have never had a girlfriend; i have never had a girl saying to me that she loves me; even some of the girls i was seeing, i notice that they were only confortable meeting me in the house; we never went out in public together, etc. The truth is that this is a killer on the mental strength. I don't know how to handle this; every other attempt ends with a negative outcome. The reason why i was dating some girls at some point is because i had a nice car. Now i have gone back to uni to do another degree and i am confident that in 2 to 3 years after my degree i will be making around $300K per year. I am an intelligent guy and am studying at the best school in the world for what i do. But then it will be strange to have girls around you if you know they are there for money? My question is when you know that without this money girls are not interested in you, how can you handle that, for someone who wants to build a family and have kids?
People in my family, including my mum, have been making fun of me because i have never presented a girl to my parents; i have never had the opportunity to bring a girl home. My mum has been pushing me hard to get into a relationship and to have a kid, but when i tell her that my height happens to be a problem she doesn't believe me. I am only child. My aunties are making fun of me, and often i feel alone; i have no one to discuss this problem with. It's very difficult to be in that situation.
Note that i have verified this assumption many times and it turns out to be true that if you are a man under a certain height it's a NO GO, no matter what other skills you have. Some times i was even so close to finally land a girlfriend; so much close, but despite everything the girl still hesitated so long and ended up not giving me a chance. A lot of girls told me that it is true; a lot of girls have turned me quickly down as well in bars and clubs, saying that i am same height as them and i am not tall enough for them. I always feel like the last one in my group of friends; all have or have had relationships but i am the most mysterious one, whom people have never seen presenting a girl to friends or family. The least we can say is that this is very tough. And it is more frustrating if your parents do not understand you.
I would like to hear from short men who are maybe more than 35 or 40 years old, about their experience? How do things changes when people get older? How do women perceive short men at that age? I heard that being single at 35-40 years old, rich, and no kids make men high value on the market, no matter whether they are short. is this true?
Prior research investigating the mate preferences of women and their parents reveals two important findings with regard to physical attractiveness. First, daughters more strongly value mate characteristics connoting genetic quality (such as physical attractiveness) than their parents. Second, both daughters and their parents report valuing characteristics other than physical attractiveness most strongly (e.g., ambition/industriousness, friendliness/kindness). However, the prior research relies solely on self-report to assess daughters’ and parents’ preferences. We assessed mate preferences among 61 daughter-mother pairs using an experimental design varying target men’s physical attractiveness and trait profiles. We tested four hypotheses investigating whether a minimum level of physical attractiveness was a necessity to both women and their mothers and whether physical attractiveness was a more important determinant of dating desirability than trait profiles. These hypotheses were supported. Women and their mothers were strongly influenced by the physical attractiveness of the target men and preferred the attractive and moderately attractive targets. Men with the most desirable personality profiles were rated more favorably than their counterparts only when they were at least moderately attractive. Unattractive men were never rated as more desirable partners for daughters, even when they possessed the most desirable trait profiles. We conclude that a minimum level of physical attractiveness is a necessity for both women and their mothers and that when women and their parents state that other traits are more important than physical attractiveness, they assume potential mates meet a minimally acceptable standard of physical attractiveness.
We evaluated five competing hypotheses about what predicts romantic interest. Through a half‐block quasi‐experimental design, a large sample of young adults (i.e. responders; n = 335) viewed videos of opposite‐sex persons (i.e. targets) talking about themselves, and responders rated the targets' traits and their romantic interest in the target. We tested whether similarity, dissimilarity or overall trait levels on mate value, physical attractiveness, life history strategy and the Big Five personality factors predicted romantic interest at zero acquaintance and whether sex acted as a moderator. We tested the responders' individual perception of the targets' traits, in addition to the targets' own self‐reported trait levels and a consensus rating of the targets made by the responders. We used polynomial regression with response surface analysis within multilevel modelling to test support for each of the hypotheses. Results suggest a large sex difference in trait perception; when women rated men, they agreed in their perception more often than when men rated women. However, as a predictor of romantic interest, there were no sex differences. Only the responders' perception of the targets' physical attractiveness predicted romantic interest; specifically, responders' who rated the targets' physical attractiveness as higher than themselves reported more romantic interest.
So, according to research and science, the "massive role" personality and confidence play in attracting women is... no role at all.
Can we get some new articles and a site update please?
I'm looking around and some of the content here is over 1,000 days old. We are lucky that people are posting in the forum here keeping this community alive.
In my opinion, this site needs a major update, responsive design and new, regularly posted content.
This place has so much potential and lots of great functionality, but much of this site is very dated!
If you could change anything... EXCEPT YOUR HEIGHT ¿What would it be?
It could be related to your body (example. Getting in better shape or more muscular) or maybe something not related to your body (example. becoming more confident)
Any of you notice women over 30 are "more open" to dating shorter guys
Started dating a woman who is 36 and she said before two years ago she never dated any man under 5'11. She happens to be a single mom of two who is illegally renting an attic in long island new york. Not that it matters but it seems like I attract women over 30 like white on rice.
