I know quite a few that are under 5 foot 2. Can you search based on height on those online dating sites?
StanleyStutters Member Aug 30, Jul 6, 1, 0 0 Massachusetts. I'm slightly taller than your friend, 5'5", and it has been a slight problem with online dating, but nothing insurmountable. I have had some women not interested due to my height, but I just brush it off and move on. What kind of messages is your friend sending? I do not look like a model and I have way better results than what you're describing and I list my height honestly. Maybe he's just coming across badly in his messages.

Try it destroying irl dating potential? Dec 6, 85, 75 1, I'm a decent height, but I have many female friends and they totally disqualify short dudes on dating sites. Have him try singles meetups instead. Jul 7, 14, 0 0. Move to south america. Get at those fine latin chicks. Guys are short there.
He will be a god. Though, 5 feet is damn short even for there.

If he's as good looking as you say, he'll be fine. Height isn't a deal breaker for every woman in the world. May 16, 41, 6 I know some good looking confident 5'4 dudes and they don't seem to have setbacks vs a regular average person.

Two Words Member Aug 30, May 8, 17, 0 As a guy, being short, black or Asian kind of kills online dating options. Apr 15, 4, 0 0 Barcelona. Oct 19, 32, 0 0 Los Angeles, CA. I could imagine the large numbers getting him down. Instead of feeling unlucky, it probably feels discriminatory. It is, just like men discriminate against obese or unattractive women when online dating. Gordon Shumway Banned Aug 30, Ezalc Member Aug 30, Jun 29, 16, 0 0. NoFaceNico Banned Aug 30, Sep 8, 3, 0 0.

In regards to tinder yeah I got quite taken back by a bunch of females saying on their profiles don't bother swiping right if you're under this size.
I'm far from alone in this swiping behaviour. When he took height off his profile, he got more replies, but he showed me three conversations in which he had hit it off wonderfully Tall guy asks a bunch of women if they'd date a guy shorter. Now, you may say the rejections were because of my looks, that could be true, but as I approached girls closer to my height, my success rate went way up. You would think it would be obvious that if you included shorter males and Beta males in your suitor selection, your odds would increase of finding a mate. You can post your own profile, but you cannot post anyone else's without moderator's permission. Voyer—a psychology and behavioural science professor at London School of Economics — says the allure of height boils down to evolution.

I figure everyone discriminates against unattractive people on dating sites, not just men. Future Member Aug 30, Aug 5, 9, 1, Online dating means specifying criteria. Things get more brutally honest and superficial. If he's white, consider that an advantage at least in the superficial world. Average male height in the US is I think 5'9" Generally anything under the average where you are is short to an extent I'm 5'7" so yay I'm short.

Yeah, it's a hindrance, but potentially so are a lot of other things. While, generally speaking, males tend to be more superficial in date selection, females seem to be superficial only when it comes to height, and not much else relative to men. Every smart person emphasizes the traits that others prefer. Wear shoes with a heel, avoid clothes that make you look shorter like pleated pants. You might even want to consider buying lifts to put in your shoes when you go out.
However, only add about an inch or less, especially if you plan on taking them off around a girl or even friends. Being short is a dating disadvantage, but everyone has dating obstacles, even tall guys. This means do everything else right physically. Dress fashionably, keep your hair by using anti-baldness medication, etc. David has another article about how important muscularity is for attraction. In fact, it may be the most important physical factor for attracting a woman. A recent study even affirms how important being muscular is for short guys.
Short guys often hear shit about their height from women. They want to see how you react.
Are these tests a huge pain? Yes, but all guys get them. Women use them to weed out the losers. Above all, you need amused mastery in every situation. Here is more on amused mastery. Do you think they get rejected for dates? Short men dating need to realize that they must raise their value or project it better. Find a way to earn more money, become a manager or owner of a company, get insanely fit, learn to play an instrument well, etc. Tallness is a value. Most dating sites list heights. And, women typically have, at least in theory, height standards.
So, short dudes have two bad options.
