How to overcome mental blocks
post #1

As short men, it is imperative that all other aspects of our attractiveness are maximized for us to have a chance. After realizing this, I have started to step up my fitness, style, hair, and complexion game. But there is still a lingering thought in the back of my head that's telling me, "Even if you put in all the work in the world, you will still not compare to a man who is 6 feet or taller, so you should pretty much just give up" I realize that this is somewhat irrational, but at the same time it isn't. Does anyone else suffer from this kind of thinking?

I think the key element is learning not to give a damn about the 6 foot and up crowd. Not to sound cliche, but those women who want men that tall are going to want men that tall no matter what you do. If you are serious about getting that particular woman though, then you will have to do what you've already been doing which is step your game up on every level and make her feel those same emotions that guys in the 6 foot range make her feel without overdoing it.

Either way, we are kind of "compensating", but you don't want to do this in a pathetic, puppy dog way that may come off as despeate. In the end, she may still blow you off (no pun intended). 

My game is tight, and I have women telling that they only date tall guys all of the time, but I let it rock, because I have a bunch of female friends with short ass baby fathers lol. 

It depends on what you are looking for too. Are you looking for casual flings or a serious relationship with someone? Believe me, taller guys are dealing with mental blocks too. What about the bald guys and dudes with small wangs? Many of us shorter guys may not have those other problems.

Good advice. The key really is to "do you." I also hate that there is a stigma against "compensating."

All of this to just say she only dates tall men. She never "stopped" dating short men (or dated them at all).

Mental health activist shares why she will never date a short man

Because there aren't tons of tall men who do the same thing right?

The hate and then later virtue signaling is tiring.

Some Asian guys have an incel mentality due to trauma. Support them

There are a few YouTube channels run by Asian Men that I felt some type of way about, like resentment because of their helpless incel mentality. Some of these "Uncle Wongs" spend a significant amount of time belittling other Asian men and engage in unnecessary self-deprecation. One such YouTube personality, "Chinese Historian" would do this enough that I'd cringe when listening to otherwise valuable content.

But then I looked into his history. The experience of multiple divorces as a child, abuse, and lots of bullying due to his background. Add height to this and you can understand This should not be an excuse, but needless to say, I get it.

We should do a better job of looking out for one another and support those of us who struggle with mental health is my point.
