TRUTH: If you have female friends then your height IS the problem
post #1

This may be very uncomfortable for some, but I want to reiterate a point made by a conversation that I came across on another social platform.

If you are able to have and maintain friendships with women, then your personality cannot be the problem, no matter how much detractors would like you to be believe. You've seen these detractors. They say things like "get outside and touch grass", or "get therapy".

What is the difference between a friendship and a romantic relationship? Yes, you guessed it, physical attraction and intimacy. 

If you're not able to land relationships, then your height (or looks) have to be the problem. After all, who would want to be around someone that they don't find interesting, beneficial or at the very least entertaining enough to continue interacting with.

Don't let people gaslight you into thinking your personality is repulsive because if you have friends, clearly your character isn't the issue.

Explained beautifully. It's why I don't have female "friends" that I am actively attracted to. No self-respecting man should a maintain a friendship with a woman that they expect "more than a friendship" from IMHO.

Key point here. Well-said. 

If there I'm interested in someone and they don't reciprocate, I don't waste time trying to become their friend. 

If a friendship develops into a romantic relationship somewhere down the line organically, that's another story.

This is not wrong, particularly if you were described as being "perfect, but just not tall enough".
