it's not a matter of having many women interested in him but instead the fact that not a single one he is attracted to finds him attractive because he lacks the inherent physical characteristics required to compete in the modern dating market.

One can go on with their lives, be rejected by a woman and then just move on from that sting, not caring what the mass of people think, only focusing on themselves, people they get along with and working toward the next pursuit.

When you say "not a single one he is attracted to finds him attractive". NO. That is strictly your own personal experience. Being shorter does not mean no one is attracted to you, nor does it mean that no one you're attracted to won't be attracted to you. That is defeatist. Is it hard? Yes. Are you putting time into pursuing and not putting all of your eggs in one basket? Probably not. Do you have a narrow threshold of what you find attractive? I bet.

the problem is that it does not matter what a man thinks of himself-what matters is what others think of him so in the case of dating it's only what the women he is attracted to think about him that is important. a man who is very comfortable with himself, has high self esteem and confidence will still have no success unless he passes the looks test. meanwhile, a tall, good looking man can be self loathing yet have a plethora of women after him.

i agree that 6'5 is pretty tall but i would take it over my 5'6 in a second and never look back. i have lost count of the # of average at best looking but very tall guys i see that have attractive partners due to their extreme height. in my experience, asian & black women seem especially prone to value a mans height over all else.

But what if the man in question doesn't care what others think of him and doesn't care to have "a bunch" of women after him? Did you think about that? That's the difference.

it is pretty much certain that living even a week as a tall man would result in an astounding difference in how i was treated by both men & women as i can't think of anything which would improve my own quality of life as much as being taller &/or more physically attractive.

That's because there are plenty of short men who are comfortable with themselves. What I did say though is that if there were some "magic pill" that could make me taller, 6'5 is not the height that I would pick.

Re: King Richez asks why it's okay to make fun of short men.

I enjoy that they can't wrap their heads around the fact that there are real social penalties for poking fun of women or making statements that enforce gender norms. Many celebrities have been blacklisted for this. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be a celebrity. Look at that man who recently made that speech at a graduation about how his wife is a homemaker. There was so much angry commentary in legacy and new media.
