I'm 5'7, will it be hard to get a girlfriend

I know there's a lot of factors and it depends on the person, but it feels like being short makes it 100× more harder to get into a relationship. It's like the girl has already made up her mind before she gets to know you.

As a girl most of us don’t really care about height because height doesn’t determine somones personality. It’s something you can’t control . Yes some girls have preferences but most of us won’t really care much as long as you’re not treating her badly.

Just look at the "hear me out cake" trend when girls do it: height is clearly NOT the primary factor lol. 5'7 is a lovely height, and so long as your personality is equally lovely, you'll be fine.

height doesnt make any difference in the real world. you may see that online it is made a big deal of by people who in my view bring absolute zero to the table but it is quite the contrary. as long as you are competent, strong, dependable and have yourself in order you will be fine. go and smash your goals for the moment and it will all fall into place

If you're using dating apps, you'll have a hard time.

Otherwise women aren't quite as shallow as the internet makes them out to be. And neither are men.

However, to say that height doesn't matter whatsoever is idealistic / trite nonsense. It does matter, just not as much as you might think.

Doesn’t matter depending on your girl I’d say most of my friends like tall guys but they wouldn’t be mortified is someone short chatted them up

those who use height as a yardstick for measuring a relationship or potential relationship only bring shallowness to the table; competence is the key here for both parties.

if you're looking for women who primarily value height, they aren't going to value you as a person anyway
