Girls want Aragorn. A real woman want Samwise 🥰

...and too many settle for guys that are a cross between Gollum and a Ringwraith.

I prefer men who are taller than me, and I don't feel I should be apologizing for my preference, but being short is far less unattractive than being miserable and cynical.
So smile, sweetie :wink:

Proves the point, girls don't like short guys. If I was short I wouldn't smile

WTF are you going on about?!?
I'm not giving anyone false hopes. Re-read my post, I specifically said that they stand a chance of meeting someone IF THEY CAN COMPENSATE FOR THEIR HEIGHT! Furthermore, I said IF NOT, THEN THEY SHOUD LOWER THEIR EXPECTATIONS. And I never said they would be players or anything like that. Seriously, what part of that do you not understand? Am I not speaking in English?!?
Look, either quote me correctly or ignore my posts completely; DO NOT PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH!!!
EDIT:- I'm still waiting for you to post some constructive advice for all these short guys lol.
Exactly, this is just one way.
EDIT_2:- Just to clarify, at NO POINT am I saying that being short is an attractive or desirable feature... but what I AM saying is being short doesn't have to completely define someone; in much the same way being black, Asian, of a certain age etc. doesn't completely define someone either. There are many aspects that make someone who / what they are. And if they have other qualities, then together they may override the shortness.
It's a bit like owning a dog... I don't think anyone (in their right mind, at least) actually enjoys picking up after their pet has done it's business, but it's something responsible dog owners will do, because the other perks / benefits of owning a dog (e.g. companionship, friendship etc.) make it a chore worth doing.

They can't "compensate", girls just don't like short guys. You give them false hopes and they will have resentment. There is no solution to shortness. They should accept it

I often witness groups of girls who laugh at short guys and say offensive jokes. Imagine their chance of dating, it's zero. It must be depressing for short guys, I would be. If you're short you can forget about girls

Probably been said, but that's the thing about evolution.

Bernie Eccleston compensates.

The reality is you spent your Friday night on TSR. I hope you have some luck with the opposite sex in the near future.

Why not the same sex?

Dating has nothing to do with your height. girls want their guy to be taller than them, and naturally girls are shorter than guys, so for every short guy, there's plenty even shorter girls for him.
I'm 5.8 or 5.9 not even sure cuz I couldn't care less, and I never had this problem.
If you're looking clean, smell good, have inviting smile, easy to talk to, great personality, charming, work out etc, then height is nothing.
Yes ofcourse there's tall chicks who don't want shorter dudes, but still that doesn't mean anything.
I don't want a girl to be taller than me also, it's not that I don't like it, it's because they don't like that.
And I am fine with that. You're making it sound like there's just 1 shape and size, which is baloney.

EDIT: if anything being a tall girl sucks more than being a short guy, trust on this.

Ecclestone was rich lol. That's giving false hopes, they will not be billionaires, it's not realistic. You have more chance of dying today than being the new Ecclestone. And being used for money doesn't give the same feelings as being truly desired by girls.

I disagree, girls just don't like short guys. Not just the ones shorter than them. If that was true, as girls are usually short, this point wouldn't even exist and you wouldn't read even here on TSR so many posts by short guys who don't get girls. For example this guy is mocked everywhere, even in shops the (short) female cashiers make fun of him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvdSUbV5pjc

It's taken you over a week to come up with this brilliant answer?!? Seriously bruv, change the record.

Well I've already given you Prince as an example, also despite Jeremy Clarkson and James May both towering over Richard Hammond, it was Richard who the girls seemed to like.

I haven't red any posts except this one. And be realistic, there isn't enough tall guys for every girl, that alone proves my point.

I haven't seen in real life any kind of situations like in that video.
And I can bet you if you put side by side, tall unattractive guy who smells like sht, bad breath, no hygiene etc, Over a solid dude who is short - short one will pull more chicks.

I believe it's the matter of confidence, If I am short, and that gets in my head, I already lost a battle, because now I am not only short but I am not confident about my self. And confidence speaks values.

And well that video you showed me just proves my point, dude has no confidence whatsoever and he's already mad at girls who didn't even tell him anything about being short.

I strongly disagree with you on this, I have good friend of mine who is hella short but he's so goddamn well spoken and has so much charisma, he is crushing tall guys confidence and pulling chicks left and right.

Blatantly saying "girls don't like short guys" is just plain mad. And makes the girls look like they are nothing but a slab of meat without any brains cells or morals.

So short guys can compensate.

Sunak wasn't a billionaire.
He married one.
Depends on the girl every girl considers different height short like for me anything below 5’4 is short so not all short guys are doomed

Honestly, at this point I just want a guy who treats me well. Height be damned. 😭

How short is short? And guys make offensive jokes about girls quite often, whether the girls are short, tall, fat or thin. Why does this make short guys in particular doomed?
Personally, I consider guys who think that their height is their main asset hilarious.

See, this is wrong, because shorter guys are actually quite endearing in my opinion- and I'm a girl. No neck-craning. Like TBH I'm okay with 5'5, and I'm 5'6.
Incel men who tell women what we like are a bit iffy, though.

Ah, but you are completely wrong about him.

Apparently, he's this irresistible sex-god, who women adore
