Yes. I rarely see guys shorter than me walking around. The place I actually do see other manlets is at the gym.

No, that’s how women see you. Men overall don’t give each other even 1/4 of the chit in that regard.

I'd say being bald and short didn't phase him in the least...he had a hell of a lot going FOR him, and he made the most of it- of what he could control. Find and use your talents/skillsets boyos. If you always focus on your "shortcomings" then you won't radiate self-confidence IRL where it counts more, for most.


Why do you let these tall guys keep calling you manlets and trying to make you feel inferior? How do you do in the real world??
Believe it or not, most of us shorter guys know the misc isn’t the real world so we generally aren’t phased by the trolling.

The reality is personality, face, and style are the most important attributes when attracting women. Being tall is certainly an advantage, but it’s not the be all end all. Having a good physique is also an advantage, maybe to a lesser degree than height but still. Having nice thick hair is an advantage, having nice teeth is an advantage, having nice eyes, having money, etc.

There are many factors that go into attractiveness. The truth is most girls are going to pick a good looking shorter guy over an average looking or ugly tall guy. All things being relatively equal, the taller guy is going to have an advantage in most cases, unless the girl just simply vibes better with the shorter guy. For example James Dean was 5’7, James Cagney was 5’5, Al Pacino was 5’6 peak etc. Whether these shorter guys were celebrities or not they would have zero problem getting women, and the vast majority of women would prefer them over the vast majority of tall guys. The reasons being they carried themself with confidence, were good looking, had style, and had appealing personalities.

I always say at the gym I’m pretty much average height. I see a lot of guys shorter than 5’7 at the gym.

I can understand some TALL women thinking that way. But short and average-size good-looking, intelligent, confident and non-superficial women would still be attracted to you or similar men. Everyone usually just makes the most of what they have while trying to achieve their goals. And btw, 5'7" is not bad at all. Most intelligent women wouldn't diss a man based on this.
Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.

Yes, it's very short.

You actually have that kind of backwards. Most manlet hate you get is from average and shorter women. So majority of sloots. If you happen to run into a unicorn that doesn’t care about your height too much, she’s almost always 5’7+ herself. That’s not to say that there are plenty of women that don’t care about your height, it’s just that of those that do not are taller themselves. Or at least that has always been the case in my personal experiences. I’m 5’9 with good physique and the conditions of trying to date someone is downright inhumane. I’m a funny kunt IRL but that and the whole personality or intelligence cope does not matter at all because you will never get a chance to display it because the “chemistry” (I.e. 100% looks) is not there in the first place.

This.

maybe older girls (by older I mean 30-35+) may not care as much but most young ones (18-25) do care a lot nowadays

Sounds similar to my original OG message- genuine confidence plays a large role!!

I’m 5’7.5 in good shape and I have had zero issues with women. Or any issue I have had with women it wasn’t due to my height. Granted I would say I’m “good looking” by most standards and I say that as humbly as possible. No female has ever even commented on my height.

I really believe if you look good and carry yourself well, you won’t have many problems. I’m sure there are plenty of women that would write me off due to my height, and I wouldn’t even know that was the reason why. But there are plenty of women who either don’t care about my height or are overlooking it due to other attributes that are my strong points.

You being 5’9 is not the reason you are having trouble dating, there must be some other factors whether that be external or internal.

If sexual chemistry and compatibility is THE determining factor in successful first impressions, then yes, 5'9" shouldn't be an issue with most women.

Yes because when women say that you are too short to your face, they are obviously lying. It must be something else!

It's shorter than the average and will be noticable. So yes,it is manlet terriority but I wouldn't say you're in the deep end. Still taller than a large number of women who irl want their guy to be taller than them. He doesn't have to be a manmore.

Despite what misc says anything 5'9 through 5'11 is not a manlet. You won' stand out as short or tall. You're in the range of average. 6'2 and above and you start to get "he's tall".

One of the most charming guys I ever met that had no problems with women was 5'8.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.
