>>12623994>the issue is that being 5'6 makes you unappealing to the vast majority of women, meaning you have to be much better in other categories (charisma, income, whatever) to have as much of a chance as a taller guyDon't know man, not really my experience. It depends on your social ecology as well. I will say that yes, in highly organized, quasi-cooperative structures like an office, corporate ladder, investment/law/whatever financial, it's very likely I would be at a strong disadvantage. Fortunately I'm asocial bordering on outright antisocial, so I would never be able to play ball in that sort of environment anyway. Outside, in the real(er) world, I'll just share an observation I've had. It is a strange burden for me to realize that most of the control is in my hands, and it always was. I can control whether women show interest almost with the flip of a mental switch. I'm not sure how it works or why, perhaps I'm attractive, perhaps it's subtle body language and intonation or some other aspect of communication I normally suppress or provide the inverse cues, but if I decide I want attention I will get attention. If I decide I do not want attention, I will not get attention. I have gone for 8 months not talking to a single person, no unsolicited contact, no one saying anything to me on the street, in the store, anywhere. I can wake up one day and decide "today they will talk to me", and many people will initate conversation and start trying to connect, get closer, and so on. Shorter women, taller women, whatever. Which of course I play along with, then pull away and reject because I'm just fucked up.
My 2c. Like I said, maybe I'm attractive, I don't know. I never thought about height before internet BS, and I still don't. Probably if short men are inculcated with these notions, for whatever reason, they become true.
