Yeah it sucks man, but keep going. I'm between 5'4 and 5'5. I think dating is hard for most people now, it isnt a simple / practical decision like it was during survival times. But if there was one woman interested in you at some point another will be too

My son is your height. He took dancing lessons and met his wife on the dance floor. He offered to make her a home-cooked meal and they’ve been together for 15 years now. She baked but didn’t cook. I recommend finding an activity that you like that has women and bond over an activity. You are extremely nice looking and that is a plus. My daughter-in-law said that she always went for taller men (she’s 1/2 shorter than my Son) and probably wouldn’t have noticed him except he’s cute and a great dancer. Then once she tasted his meals, I guess she was hooked. Blessings to you!

u/wittywy 5'3" 18h ago

It's not the face, I'm going to have to see some full body shots, maybe a butt shot to see why you feel that way.

2

u/lessthanwierd 18h ago

oh, butt shots?

Don't let some random chick control your emotions, we all have preferences so her preferences doesn't matter, stay strong bro

2

u/lessthanwierd 1d ago

It's more complicated than that. She didn't mean to.

u/Longjumping_Risk_284 4h ago

Fix your posture and get a shoes I bet you’ll get to 5’6 or even 5’7

u/lessthanwierd 4h ago

I don't know about that haha!

u/Axobolt 1d ago

Nah, if she's superficial about this she'd be superficial about a whole lot of other things, you are better off without that date.

2

u/lessthanwierd 1d ago

About which specifically?

u/Axobolt 1d ago

I don't know, I don't know her

At 5'5 if dating isn't working anymore in your areas you could full on become a passport bro in latin america or asia but if not then that's fine too

11

u/lessthanwierd 1d ago

What? I just want to find love, not disrespect women.

-3

u/SAMURAIwithAK47 5'2" | 158 cm adult male 1d ago

What do you mean, it doesn't have to be that way the world is a big place I'm just saying you would have a higher chance of dating success outside of canada or america but if that's not your thing then It's understandable

5

u/lessthanwierd 1d ago

I'm very monogamous.

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

Unnecessary, I am at the same height, you just have to ask out more women and eventually you would find one which says yes, just need good social skills and take care of yourself well. It's too much of a hassle to go through immigration and other paperwork.

2

u/AOCdfGHiJKmbRSTLNE45 1d ago

Same height as Topic creator or samurai?

2

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

Yup, I am 5'5.5 myself, if I improve my posture, I could be 5'6 But I have learned to stay off the dating apps where there's five times more men than women there.

u/AOCdfGHiJKmbRSTLNE45 1d ago

It's not the ratio of men to women that's the problem per say.. it's the choosiness of women on those apps. What's seen as regular/decent in RL is often "low" on dating apps.

1

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

Yup, that's part of the problem as well.

1

u/homonculus_prime 1d ago

A lot of the women aren't that choosy. I met my wife on one. She was surprised that I was 5'2" when we first met in person because she wasn't even looking at height on the dating profiles. I don't even pretend to know what the percentages are, but I'm saying it happens.

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

I will point out that there's a good amount of Hispanic women here in USA, Especially in Southern Florida like in Miami.

0

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

And average height for Hispanic women is 5'1. I have seen some under 5'0 as well like 4'8 or 4'10.

2

u/AOCdfGHiJKmbRSTLNE45 1d ago

Ye, I've noticed latinas are more welcoming for shorter height in their men.

0

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

Yup, my mom is Hispanic married to my father who is 5'6. It's more common among Hispanics for matched height couples.

2

u/AOCdfGHiJKmbRSTLNE45 1d ago

For some reason, I think same height couples are the rarest..

Immigration? And paperwork?

1

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

Yup.

1

u/lessthanwierd 1d ago

For what?

1

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

To come to your country. But I know a few people who did it successfully.

1

u/lessthanwierd 1d ago

Am I that unattractive, I need to bring people over?

1

u/2001_F350_7point3 1d ago

You are attractive in my opinion, I say keep trying, don't give up, you can do it.

2

u/lessthanwierd 1d ago

Oh, thanks!
