exactly, what people in high school don't realise is that they inhabit an extremely small bubble. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean that short guys don't have gf's.

Don't waste your time feeling down just because you don't have a gf. Do well at school and get into university. You'll have more freedom in university anyway and school dating is just drama central.

In the mean time, get a hobby outside of school, youpl meet new people (some of which will be girls) as you shouldn't limit yourself to the people in your school.

I was thinking more along the lines of a group hobby like a club (possibly a sports club or even volunteering) as the gym is more of an individual pursuit, most people just want to do their workout and leave without the aim of making friends.

As someone who is 6'4, I can tell you that practically every girl has a fetish for height though I'm sure they look past it
I'm sorry to break it you but I've only ever seen a couple of short guy who managed to get a taller girlfriend (two girlfriends succsessively as a matter of fact and they were both drop dead gorgeous). This guy was half-Danish rich,highly charismatic and socially adept, confident, very intelligent and academically inclined (though he was never seen doing any hard work) and extremely hedonistic. He was also in pretty good shape too. In other words, he was the life of the party (and a bit of a tw*t). These two girls were around 5'11 or something and had perfect bodies. He used to be a chubby, mousy little insecure nerd in primary school and I confess I used to enjoy taking the p*ss out of him.

Second one was German and was an amateur aesthetic bodybuilder. He was hobbit sized, height wise, but he shagged all the best looking girls in the school and was earned himself a 'loveable f*ckboy' reputation. He was also charismatic and socially adept, confident, ruthlessly intelligent (I honestly think he was a closet psychopath) and like the other guy, managed to get good grades without being seen working hard on anything but his physique.Unlike the other guy, his family wasn't especially well off (he had a f*cktonne of siblings) but he hid it well. We used to be friends but his ego couldn't handle my height and the fact that I didn't lick his *rse and he used his social influence to smear my name which meant I was an outcast for the last 3/4 months of year 11 :biggrin:

These two m*dgets were larger than life characters (who both happened to have northern European heriatage funnily enough) with a wide social circle and plenty going for them. I gave you these examples to show how much a short person needs to compensate for their height in order to gain success with high quality women. You'll have to work very hard, focus on self-imporvement all while maintaining the facade that it comes naturally and even then, you aren't guarunteed to be succesful. If you're less ambitious, just find some average looking short person and get with them
Not all girls date tall guys .. I’m 5’3 n my boyfriend is 5’6 not that much taller then me..

I'm shorter than you with a taller girlfriend. Height will be a deal breaker for a lot of girls but you will find someone who won't see your height as an issue.

No we don’t

/end thread

I suspect that you want to hear an answer that thinks you may have a chance, however. By all means get buff but if she isn’t attracted to short guys there isn’t a great deal you can do. Just be a friend to her, make her laugh etc
