Alright Jow Forums let’s talk about dating and height. I’m genuinely confused as to why women judge soley on height when it comes to dating.
>be me >be a medfag (specifically orthopedic surgeon, I know ironic) >i’m 5’2 >Meet fairly attractive resident >she’s 5’5ish >Banter at work >Take her out for coffee >Take her out to dinner >After dinner, she says to my face, “I really enjoyed our time together but to be frank, I don’t really date short guys and I don’t make exceptions” >try to keep a straight face and just say “it is what it is”
I’ve noticed this since I was younger, guys around my height get the short end of the stick in the dating world and I feel I’m going to grow old alone. It’s getting pretty depressing going home to an empty house only to be greeted by my dog.
I honestly don’t know what to do anymore bros, I feel like I’ve done everything the “right-way” in terms of education, work, etc. But I feel like height (something genetic) is a limiting factor for me. Countless times I’ve been told to my face I’m too short, it hurts everytime.
Why is there so much value in society regerding height? What do I do Jow Forums?
You're a little man, it sucks but hey, it is was it is.
Julian Cooper
You’re too nice. When they drop that in you come back with relief because she’s too heavy, not smart enough, hair too thin etc.
I’m 5’7” and I feel it sometimes too but I do ok
James Wright
It is a limiting factor and it must fucking suck. So sorry, friend. Your only hope is even shorter girls, or girls with weird fetish's. Alternatively try looking towards asia or like mexico, theyre usually shorter
Christopher Campbell
I was thinking that if I was someone who cared about relationships I'd try to move to where my height was favorable to the average male height.
Brandon Howard
I'm 6'6" and I still can't get a date.
Michael Howard
Not much taller, and yeah being a manlet sucks in some ways. Sad truth is you will probably have to wait for a desperate roastie in her 30s who cant get anything else any more. Either that or import a bride I guess
Adam Hill
Its alright, I stopped growing around 17. Honestly surprised cause my younger brother is about 6’0.
But ya its pretty depressing after a while, its like little by little it hurts more and more as the years go buy. I haven’t really had a serious relationship because I’ve been so focused on my career (currently 36), but I feel like my dating prospects are limited.
>I honestly am afraid of growing old alone. >My brother is married and has 4 kids
Benjamin Peterson
Orthopedic surgeons can buy some nice escorts.
Find some little spinner for your wife.
Blake Thomas
Even then I feel i’m too short even by asian standards. Its pretty disheartening
Hunter Ross
Every day i thank god for being 6 feet
Colton Perez
>proceed to get divorce raped
Ive noticed alot of aussies are fairly tall.
Leo Barnes
>I'm 5'2"
PpfffffffttttHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA H AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
Bitch I was 5'2"in fucking fifth grade. You aren't a man. You aren't even a boy! You're a child. Just kill yourself and be done with it.
Serious question, would you intend to have kids if you did get married? I understand that no one wants to be alone, but do you consider procreating to potentially be damning your (male) children to similar troubles?
Xavier Walker
>When they drop that in you come back with relief because she’s too heavy, not smart enough, hair too thin etc. Why play up to their stereotypes about short men being bitter and angry etc.? Take it politely with a smile, then she's the one who is left to go home and feel like a bad person.
OP I am 5'5" and it's absolute hell. I saw a girl who couldn't be any older than 10 or 11 a few days ago and she was taller than me. Shit like that just makes you not want to get out of bed in the morning. At 5'2" the fact that you are still out there trying says a lot about your strength of character. Your height would break a lot of guys, but you're still going. Admirable to say the least
Owen Brown
I feel bad for you bud. Heightism can be brutal
But also understand that when you catch feelings, nothing really matters
I'm 5'6". My wife is 5'8". We've been together 13 years. She also preferred a taller guy before she met me. But then she fell in love and after that, nothing really matters
Nathaniel Harris
get an eastern Euro wife, some Ukrainian or Russian 5'7 lady will suck you like a vacuum cleaner in exchange for being a doctors wife, sign up for a tour where you go and meet them in person and just wear super expensive watch+shoes+clothes etc
Jonathan Morgan
You should have said "I wish you told me earlier you were a shallow bitch, I could have saved $100 on the dinner."
Nicholas Miller
Find a shorter girl or just look for a woman who cares more about other things than height. The truth is being short as a guy is a big problem, but it is not impossible to find a partner. Swallow your pride and keep trying.
Josiah Collins
I kinda have that planned out if I hit 50 and am still single desu. Probably go out on one of my hunting/fishing and just not come back. I’d probably will my money to my parents and my local church
Everyone wants kids user.
You get used to the emotional pain. Just gets tougher as you get older
lmao just stop being a manlet, like nigga go eat some wheaties
Samuel King
height is a more recent thing. women want their spouse now to reflect themselves. if they have a short poor ugly guy with no drive they feel it represents them and they msot certainly dont want their friends thinking bad things about them
and thats all its come down to. people say height preference is because of wanting stronger partner to protect family but the world average is 5'7 and msot people are average height. infact, being tall is a genetic disadvantage (ignoring back problems etc) because women are unable to birth larger babies naturally due to their increased size from tall partners
the good thing about the world is that a select few short women simply want a dude that is taller than them. im 5'9 and msot women ive been with have been 5 foot so its not like you are entirely out of the genetic pool
besides women who value height so much end up being divorced because they base modern life on a superstitional benefit, which they would apply to other unrealistic aspects of their life
and if it helps, i saw a dude about 5 foot 4 today (in his 40s maybe) with a really hot older lady who was my height.
trust me the height thing fucking sucks. i had a 6 foot chick straight up walk away from me on a tinder date and called me a manlet but i knew if shes that retarded her life probably sucks anyways. my 6 foot 3 brother had a chick walk away from their date because he had too much of a baby face. the modern woman has just become full of herself and the rare ones that dont follow this path are worth the temporary loneliness
Jordan Edwards
Don't be a faggot and say that "being 5'2" would break guys
What awful attitude is that? There are guys without arms and legs who are still living a full life
Accept that you'll never be chad if you're 5'2". But also accept that you can have a massively fun, full life, and that you will still get pussy, just not as much as you would if you were 6'2"
The worst thing about manlets is how they feel sorry for themselves.
Camden Sanchez
You need to get on the 6”+ tall bitches that basically always date shorter men than them The really tall people don’t get dates either
Jacob Collins
I honestly didn’t think she would be like that. She seemed sweet but I guess the eternal Roastie strikes again.
I’ve tried dating shorter, but a general excuse of theirs is, “I want to wear heels” etc
Carson Cruz
She was just a dumb bitch. If your pheromones would have been attractive to her olfactory senses you would be in business almost instantly. Study more on this and be confident.
Isaac Morris
Dude, don't waste any time on women build online business.
i don't think it's more recent. It's about attraction.
I've heard the ideal mark (on average) is for a man to be 6 inches taller than his partner
Juan Nelson
your shit stain character tells me you have a very hard time socializing which could make your life absolute hell.
Ian Sanders
Fortunately for me, My family keeps growing until mid to late 20's. I'm 22 5'113/4" and still growing. only downside is I might get white hair very early
Dylan Murphy
Ok... that is a hot midget.
Very true. But again you gotta look at the perspective of actually having to live at that height all your life.
Some paraplegics are tall. Sorry if I’m rambling, I’m kinda drunk and emotional (gotta love not being on call on a Thursday)
Hudson Scott
HOW IS THIS RELATED TO POLITICS TAKE IT TO Jow Forums OR /soc/ YOU ABSOLUTE FAGGOT
Jacob Lopez
Don't worry all my family are full of 5'0 and lower men who are all married for more than 10 years (the biggest behing gramp with 50 years mariage) and they have 2-4 kids each and are very successful. Some girls don't give a shit honestly.
Jason Campbell
I just got my first white hair. I kind of like having jet black hair with some strands of grey
Dylan Walker
ohh, dude, sorry women are worse than men with that shit best go out and find a hobbit lady yourself i would give ya a pint and punch ya to make you feel better but you got mates for that
I know a short guy and his wife is 10/10. 3 kids, nice house, peaceful demeanor.
Relax.
Evan Smith
Social pressure is the reason they won't date shirt guys. I'm short, and women flirt all the time but they don't want to carry me around in a stroller on dates. I get it and I'm rationalizing my lack vertical genetics but it is what it is.
Brody White
You failed the shit test brother... >Yeah I don't date taller girls either and there's no exception ;) let's just be friends.. If you keep your chin up and roll with the punches (high confidence your chances are increased tenfold...)

Levi Evans
What can you do about it? Who cares?
Do the best you can with everything you can control, the same as you would if you were 5'10 or 6'11. Make money, work hard, be fit, be healthy, be fun, be witty, be mentally strong, be smart, be kind but not a pussy, flirt the right way and don't be a passive aggressive loser.
Be yourself.
But make sure yourself is as awesome as you can possibly be.
Parker Gutierrez
>social dynamics and its effects on culture >not political
I had a relative whose hair turned snow white by 18. But at least i don't have to worry about baldness.
Q. does Baldness run in your family? if so WHICH SIDE? It may determine if you go bald
Connor Perry
>Everyone wants kids user. Then what are your thoughts on the issue I mentioned? There's nothing functionally wrong with you, but do you consider it selfish to potentially curse future male children with the same inherent social disadvantage? What if they aren't as intelligent as you? Then they're short and won't have the economic/prestige advantage that you can at least enjoy as a doctor.
Jason Fisher
Then look for another girl, literally not every girl will care about height, especially if you are what you claim to be, a medical doctor.
Lincoln Cruz
Funny enough I have a shitton of hobbies.
>cooking >leather work/cobbling (I’m too cheap to buy a pair of Viberg boots, so I decided to try and learn to make shoes in my free time) >hunting/fishing
William Torres
Can't imagine it, my wife is 5,10 and I'm 6,2. She also has said she wouldn't date shorter. RIP.
Asher Watson
Women will always find a flaw about you that you can't fix, so they can manipulate you into doing even more for them.
Once you understand that game you can change the rules.
Charles Jones
this >t. my wife is taller than I am
Hunter Bennett
>Take her out to dinner
Things that never happened.
Jackson James
That's pretty fucked up that she would get coffee and dinner from you then tell you it's not going to work out you dodged a bullet with that bitch
Jonathan Lopez
Anything below 6 feet is short
Get game faggot
Luis Hill
Krillin ended up getting the best waifu
Austin Hernandez
>short end of the stick
Nice.
Xavier Brown
>be me >5 foot 4 Mabey key > big dick tho and funny > good at sports confident
Lol life is funny i also did two years in jail. I also play tennis in the morning with a doctor tommorow lol
Women use men they're not attracted to for free shit all the time. Of all the parts of the story that's real it's probably that.
Josiah Carter
its definitely more recent. everyone in general are mroe insecure than they used to be. i find it rare to see short men tall women couples in young people but genx and above i see it on a daily basis.
this goes both ways in terms of insecurity. women want their trophy boyfriends so their friends respect them, and men need constant companionship which comes off as feminine ratehr than the old days of simply not giving a fuck and as a result being rewarded for it
Leo Robinson
Honestly, how?
Camden Wright
Uh just date someone shorter or the same height as you. Settle.
Ryder Nelson
Well that’s why I gave myself that cutoff at 50
Jonathan Hernandez
5’5” at 25, have a gf of 3 years, she’s 5’1”. Can be hard, but there are ones out there.
Elijah Jackson
>tf2 reaction image why is it the lanklets are always beta onions boys?
You kill yourself user. You are fucked, your partner will be fucked and so will your plagued offspring.
Dont be selfish, just carry your burden to the grave... and as soon as possible.
Dominic Gonzalez
Oh that's a good idea. Just get a wheel chair and tell all the girls you meet you got paralyzed resucing a litter of puppies from traffic or something. If you're always sitting down they'll never know you're short. Then maybe after a long while tell them the dr has some new experimental procedure that might fix you. Then voila you can walk again, but maybe by that time she'll already be in love with you.
Benjamin Diaz
>never been told by a 5’0 asian woman that it wouldn’t work, because “you’re kinda short and I don’t want shitt kids”
One of the genuine times I almost lost it emotionally after going home. I’ve never felt that sad. It hurt
Liam Collins
>i’m 5’2 It never even began brother. I suggest you abandon dating completely at this point you'll only hurt yourself, go your own way and if you get lucky take the chance, but don't actively look for a mate
Robert Gray
Random question. Does balding run on your mothers side?
You have fairly good facial genetics though so that carries you even if you're short. If you're below average looking and short, society has no place for you and women in particular won't even look at you.
Jonathan Gray
Fat chicks my dude, and I’m 6’3” and attractive. Still bang qts, but it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. Take the burgerpill
I'm 6'2" and was born with a congenital heart defect. Recently I went to the hospital with atrilfibulation and tachycardia with a heartbeat of 250. Now every single day I have an episode where my heart races and I can barely breathe. I had to quit my job and am being supported by my parents until I hopefully get disability.
Do you think there's a woman who will give a shit about me? Nope. At least I'm still alive and have all my body parts. >It could always be worse.
Ryan Scott
> I just converted your height,I feel sorry for you.
But life could be worse,you are a doctor.There are probably woman who have no problem with that.I would say just be very open about it you might have more sucess.
The alternative could be marrying a non US citizen that is impressed by you being an American Doctor.I would be careful because of Golddigger whose tho.
Blake Carter
I have short man syndrome too... when I play hockey i always fight lol... look at my jawline ... face is almost as important as height... my chick is 5 3 ... we same height ... I’ve fucked tall blondes... also I’m an illegal taxi driver with a filthy criminal record kek
OP has it worse than you, who the fuck cares if your heart races a bit every day and you're 6'2'', you are delusional
Jackson Murphy
Is this kid serious? All women are naturally submissive and size implies power and dominance. If you were a straight woman, would you really date a little wimp?
Biological imperative to procreate with the fittest of the species
Adrian Barnes
Get tough. Don't go overboard, because small frame can carry only so much muscle before it starts to look like an obvious cope, but it does help to some extent. Plus physical toughness helps a lot with mental toughness and you simply stop worrying that much, which translates into more success in other areas of life. It's a multi-faceted positive feedback loop.
Hunter Murphy
Everyone has already said how. Be awesome. Your height will matter to some girls and won't to others. Same as your weight, eye color, teeth, footwear, hair color and style, ears and any other stupid bullshit a girl decides that matters when you first meet or flirt with her. The same chick could reject you in one instance due to random nonsense where she would have otherwise been all over you. Stop caring about that shit.
Just be yourself, but make sure you're awesome. Keep rolling the dice and do what you can to come-up yahtzee at a higher rate than random.
I've fucked a degenerate number of hot girls and am now married to an amazing hot girl who is 5'8, a couple inches taller than me. It isn't rocket science, especially if you have money.
Dominic Rogers
You’re gf looks somalian/ethiopian. She cute
Jacob Roberts
Pro-tip: only people under 30 call other people "kid"
Tyler Scott
>leaf >all that No surprises here
Robert Jackson
Also I good idea might be to where something like boots that make you slightly taller like an inch or so not too obvious but will help a small amount
Parker Miller
>women >knowing what they want
Evan Morales
This. Bro you have $$$ or will can't you just go find an azn or spic grill? They're usually pretty short. Get a pre-nup though, y'know for shits and giggles.
dude, you're doing better than most of the tall guys i know. I'm 6'2" and i can't even get a date. One negative flaw can't hold you back forever, and eventually you'll find someone who either doesn't care or likes that. I, however, regardless of the god-given gift of height, will likely be alone due to me being a manic-depressive socially retarded waste of space. You'll get more chances my guy. You have a fantastic career, and regardless of height, you've already contributed more to this world than i ever will. Do rest easy knowing you're better than at least some of the tall dudes
No words imply power and dominance, the pen is mightier than the sword. Plus Krillin can whoop any big nig that steps to him
Xavier Clark
Just get a nurse and kill her if she leaves you. You have the skills to do it
Austin Sanders
>Fat chicks my dude, This. It's a tough pill to swallow, but barring some rare exceptions, these are the only women who will give you a chance as a short guy.
Even thin ugly girls can be picky because they get guys chasing them just for their bodies. Your only option is to go for the girls who don't get any male attention (fat girls).
Daniel Morales
>5'2"
Start looking for midgets to date. I don't understand why a guy would want a taller woman. I like girls at least 8 inches shorter than me.
Leo Powell
this is a bad sign when your relationship progresses over the years
like a really bad sign
Elijah Bell
When your the king of Manlets like me you use your blue eyes and smile/ intelligence to own all social interactions ... rarely ever am i embarrassed or bullied... and I’ve been a midget forever... and blacks respect me because I let them know my power level ... truthfully I was attacked in jail once by two blacks who were pissed over a polical arguement... I moved off that range next day... fuck em
