Game for shorter folks like me?

[Anonymous]

Started reading your posts recently and there seems to be a lot of useful information in them so I thought I would just put this question out there...

Is it possible for shorter folks like myself( I am a man just under 5') to have game? At times it seems like an impossibility.

I am a reasonably attractive guy and I am always looking for ways to improve myself but, having this shortcoming (no pun intended) makes for an uphill battle when meeting women. Just wondering what your thoughts are.

Thanks,

Shorty

Hey getshorty,

Height is a definite advantage. Anyone that says otherwise is lying. That being said, years ago, when I was still new to the bar scene, I used to go out with a buddy of mine who definitely had a lot of game. He was a lot shorter (a little over five feet) than me. As well he was less in shape and less attractive than I was (may sound conceded, but it's true and helps get my point across). And if we decided to pursue the same girl, he'd always win! Back then I was utterly confused at why this was. But the difference was he dressed extremely well, carried himself confidently, and exuded sexiness. That was my first introduction to "having game".

Looking back it's easy to see now what was going on. So to answer your question: Yes, short guys can have game too!

I'd recommend doing things that make you seem taller. Boots and good haircut can help you "add" inches. As well as certain types of clothing, such as pin-striped suits.

Try it out,

I consider myself the lower end of average, at 5'8. It is a little frustrating when you see articles and studies saying "Tall guys more attractive". I was out with a couple of female friends a few months ago and one made a comment about how shes only attracted to tall guys, I was thinking "you are like 4'9, whats tall?".

When I was finishing up a methods class, one of the assignments was to go on dating websites and write about what people want. At that time, *most* of the women said something along the lines of 6'0+ or GTFO. But that's only like 15% of the population, surely someone resorting to a dating website shouldn't be so picky.

Fortunately, while it is a slight advantage to tall guys, its just a superficial thing. I would recommend wearing boots. Born has some pretty nice chelsea boots that I have been wearing for a few years and get tons of complements from. They give me an inch. If you really want to cheat, put some of those lifts in there, you could probably add about another inch there. I would probably just go with the boots though, you don't want some hot chick laying in bed looking down in your boots to see something in there.

More importantly, what has really made a huge difference for me, go to the gym and get jacked. Girls say they want a tall dude, but they can get just as much security from a shorter jacked dude. I see a lot of dopey looking tall guys around town and I think, "you are one of the lucky 15% that gets to be tall and you are just throwing it away".

So yeah, tall guys may have a slight initial advantage, but they could still be losers. They hard work and dedication from the gym go way way farther than simply being 6'0 tall. I get a lot more attention now that I work out.

Lastly, if you do hit the gym, tall dudes can't get jacked quite like short dudes. It harder for them, so they don't get all the advantages in life.
