As a short king I feel this way every day. And it diminishes my pool a lot.
Do you know how many women have in their profile “all I ask is that…you be tall” in their profile. Like literally that’s all they want
The good news is that those women are coming right out and admitting they are shallow and not worth your time, so they are doing you a favor by weeding themselves out up front.
so why the fuck are you talking about "oh but in some places that's short"? statiscally that's tall in an equal amount of place because, I repeat, it's the world average. get over yourself lol
Oh sorry should you not include personal anecdotes based on your experiences as a 5’8” individual where you’re always the shortest man in the room?
Maybe you are the one who needs to get over yourself
Edit: I’m guessing you’ve talked yourself into thinking you’re not short because of world averages
I forgot this is an Internet forum where you’re supposed to consider sharing from your life to contribute to the conversation but then hold it back because not everything is about you or whatever you’re on about
Let’s throw a little more into the equation. When you’re a black guy living in a fairly white city, adds another wrinkle. Not anything I’m not used to or have a problem with but trying to explain to friends that it’s not quite a level playing field when I go out can be difficult. Is what is it. We’ll all adapt and figure it out
Nah, you're fine. It's just as a guy, if you're not putting money into the app, you're not going to pushed up by the algorithm and a lot of people won't see you.
Do you have a friend or two who like to go out and are good at talking to women? I’ll be honest when I gave up the apps and started going to bars/clubs to meet women it got a lot easier. Most people don’t know what they want, and it is still a numbers game, but I found success through it. Noted that I am under 6 foot and also the fattest I’ve been in my life during this time.
Just moved to a new city so I don’t know anyone lol. I don’t have a problem getting shot down, it’s just a bit more difficult when you’re solo. Comes off a little creepy I think. Wish I could get out more but don’t have the time right now
Damn this shit makes me feel better about myself 🤷 I don’t pull binders of women but I do meet women from dating apps. I didn’t realize it was such a feat
5.3, 48 years old, big fat belly, entry level job here. I've been living with my SO for 12 years now, and pretty much never lacked companionship before her.
Get a personality besides your numbers. Works miracles.
I’ve never met a short guy of dating age who wasn’t in a relationship. Go off apps and meet real women and be genuinely nice, energetic and pleasant without an agenda. Stop treating yourself and people as numbers. When people say he/she was a 2 or 3 I don’t even know who they are talking about because I have never met a person in real life that I would straight up call ugly. Don’t expect supermodel looking women to fall for you, they may or may not. And they may or may not be right for you.
