Girls would you be will to date a 5'3" male?

I've been struggling to get dates for numerous years. And currently on a large rejection streak. Wondering if the lack of dates would be due to my short stature.

Little bit about me Im 25 yrs old 5'3" 125lbs. I'm a distance runner and avid hiker.

Female friend at work asked if girls that I've met ever bring up my height, or if my short stature affects me at all. I answered her, and quite honestly, girls usually bring up my height in some sort of way. If they dont, their friends usually do. Which brings me to believe my height (or lack of) is the main reason for instant rejections?

height wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me

Depends if you are just as wide. Infuriates me. 6,000 deaths per yr from obesity and maybe 3 from anorexia. And who gets all the bad press? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or7U3Q7GkpU

Guess not throwing money at supermarkets fails to make the world go round.

Im pretty sure the death rate for anorexia is much higher than 3 a year plus obesity isnt a serious mental illness, im pretty sure 1 in 10 girls develop an ED but I could be wrong im just making an assumption from personal experience
I'm 5'1.
I always date guys taller than me but don't have a favourite height.
I'm more interested in personality than looks or height.
I'd probably get to know you first and turn you down if there was something in your personality or history that put me off.
Like being into bnp politics, drugs or hardcore porn.
Sorry but no. I’m 5’7, i could only date guys my height or taller.
Don't worry I am sure you will find a short girl out there

Obesity is never considered an ED nor an illness. Just look at men's figures before we discovered sugar... and these were fighting men! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=agincourt+battle&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi30M_lvfHiAhXySRUIHSVWAMgQ_AUIESgC&biw=1280&bih=868&dpr=1#imgrc=XmEygsxyOuCbcM:&spf=1560807707737

Thats because obesity itself isnt an ED, if someone is obese they can have an ED but just being obese doesnt make them have one
No

How long do you wait before asking if they watch hardcore porn?

It means they consume too much sugar... and don't exercise enough. My son takes me jogging 3 times a week. Hurts like hell but the belt I wore 10 yrs ago now fits again.

Thats great, but like I said obesity is not an eating disorder

It is as just as much a malaise as anorexia and causes far more many deaths. Thousands more! Hurts like hell to jog 20 mins 3 times a week but the benefits. I can move and walk again all the week. Stop complaining and just do it!

You'll probably get more luck with shorter girls. You're well below the average for a guy but that doesn't mean you won't find anyone.

I'm 5'3 as well and I've had a fair number of dates, all have been shorter or around the same height as me. Yeah you'll be rejected for your height but you've just got to deal with it.
Urm, first date obviously. :rolleyes:

the chat up lines may be 10/10 but your vision clearly isn't 20/20 because that question wasn't aimed at you hehe
Free country love, get on board with it

It's good that you kids still fall for that freedom trope, you'll grow out of it with age and senility
