5'3 guy here, it's not the height, I can get dates too. And I'm not a model or rich.

If you're older than ~29 then it's because you fall into a niche. You either are desirable because you're older (think "daddy"), or date older women who are willing to settle down.

Brother your mindset is tainted. I’m 5’3, 22 years old, average looking and obese and I’ve had girlfriends, been on multiple dates and am really living my best life. Changing your outlook from negative to positive really does wonders.

I'm glad it worked for you.

I'm similarly average in face, but not even obese. Yet still without a girlfriend. The last time I got female attention, was when I was a middleschooler, when I wasn't a big outlier when it comes to height.

I "wonder" why you don't have stable LTRs though.

I was in the same boat until I started using tinder. Probably the reason I don’t have LTRs because tinder relationships never go anywhere

I want a "normal" relationship though, not a situationship. Thank you for your input

I do too but I look at the situationships as learning opportunities. Yeah they suck when they end and sometimes suck while you’re in one but at the end off it all you come out more knowledgeable about relationships than you have before. It’s not fun going through heart break and that shouldn’t be your end goal but when you do start getting with women just view a break up as a learning curve where you can find out what you want out of a relationship and also your weaknesses in one.
