I can't compete in a college environment.

Most girls in college are already dating somebody that's likely not even in college and has a good 5-10 years on her. I'm well aware that some girls have sugar daddy arrangements with some older guys.

So you have guys that are around 25-30 that are competing for the same pool of girls. Usually these guys are already educated, making a decent living and have their life in order. They are miles ahead of your average college student.

Even for girls who aren't looking to date older guys, they have a nearly endless amount of goodlooking, tall guys of any ethnicity or subculture of their preference. There's nothing really distinguishing one student from the other except for either looks or some form of status from playing a possible sport.

Practically every girl either has a boyfriend with a couple backups or is just sleeping around right now, and a girl is going to be choosy with who she sleeps around with.

Because of all of that, I simply can't compete. Too many guys are all competing for the same pool of girls. I'm basically left playing with my balls as a 19 year old guy that's 5'5" and younger than most people in his classes. What the phuck am I supposed to do?

Don't focus on that OP, just don't.

Get good grades, go to the gym, make good connections, maybe get a part time job if you don't have one yet related to your field, and then as you constantly self improve you'll find a lady friend soon enough.

Okay but like I told you, I'm not a Chad to be stealing other people's girls.

Normally I don't jump on the misc manlet train, but 5'5" is legit unattractive to a lot of women.

That's proper manlet status.

I had more attention in college at 19 than I do now at 23. I don't think im going to make it. Hopefully all of this talk of early 20's being the most difficult time of your life is correct.

Make sure that you do well in school so that you can graduate and get a good job. Don't worry about girls that much until you figure out what you want to do with your life. You need to get the right job for you and in the right city. That might mean leaving people behind.

College girls are for fun.

Honestly man it's been feeling like jail for a while now. Three years so far in this prison, doing nothing but studying, eating and going to the gym. One year to go until I graduate, and then do graduate school, which is another three years of prison.

Whoever said that college is the best time of your life was lying.

Seriously. I would be lying if I said I don't think about it often. Early 20's is painful. Grade school was a breeze, had lots of friends, and getting ghosted by women wasn't really an issue.

Early 20's is an emotional death sentence if you are not a Chad. Hopefully my life turns around in the coming years.

I started at a major University when I was 17. I started lifting when I was 16 so I wasn't your average 17 y/o skinny *******. I easily passed for 18, 19, or even 20 if I needed to (not that I look old - people just don't question it). Got plenty of poon.

This is the most important time of your life to develop your social game. Especially being small, I was on a similar boat and made the mistake of avoiding development and being addicted to games. The more disadvantages you have in life, the more you gotta work for it just to even get to a standard level of value. **** is rough, but if you don't start now you will be stuck in your mid-20s with the exact same problems, they don't go away.

Find something unique about yourself that you can present or allows you to shine in social environments otherwise you will be a ghost that no one notices/cares about. Life is harsh.

My advice - make friends first. Don't think about smashing until you have a small circle of 2-4 friends. That's all it takes (or even one close friend) to have a good time in college. Sit next to the cute girl in class, don't skip a seat (I did this and regretted it). Join clubs. Just get out there.

We're all gonna make it brah

So then be in the top 10% of guys. Improve yourself. If you aren't in the top 10% then stfu and stop complaining. The "girls" you describe are not girls at large. No guy is hitting on an ugly whale and girls of that calibre most certainly are NOT all in relationships with several guys as backup. Just like every other miscer you want to sleep with the hottest sloots around. Well, if you want to do that, you need to be in the top league yourself.

Dating is harder for guys. But if you work on yourself enough, such that you become top tier, you'll do just fine. Can confirm.

I had a great time in college. My wife said it was like jail for her. People have different experiences so if you're feeling low just remember other people have walked in your steps before and they did fine. Hell, your family chain has been growing for 200,000 years. Whatever flaws you find in yourself, I'm certain one of your forbearers met with that problem and they made it. Every last one of them got laid. You will make it as well. Keep your eye on the prize and get your degree, and do what you have to do to make it to your next step which sounds like graduate school.

Don't stress about college girls. You'll probably find a girl when you're not even trying. That's often how it works.

Damn, 5'5 is just full blown manlet status.

Bros who are 5'8 and up and whine about this chit are usually just ugly *******s. At 5'5, you'll definitely have a tough time.

You better drop your standards and start personality-maxing, boyo, or you're going to be in for one miserable ride.

There's only so much you can do about that man. If you're shorter than average male height then you will just never be in the top 10% of guys, that's a fact. Even if you have a better body, better face and better wallet than any other guy.

That's okay because I'm not even aiming for the top 10% of girls anyhow. I'm saying even girls that aren't of that calibre have no problems getting dates or hooking up with guys far above their league.

Yeah, the 5'8" guys that are complaining are usually ugly.

No joke, I was walking in a direction where a group of girls happened to be sitting, and they were all looking at me until I got to an angle where they figured out my height, and then one of them blurted out, "Nevermind." It's bullchit brah. I can't even imagine how different life would be if I were just average.

I see college brahs that are ugly and by no means Chads with cute gf's all the time. Your best bet is to make girl friends so them or their friends can get to know you on a more personal level and you will have a much better chance. Looks/height aren't the cure to everything. I'm good looking, I get told it all the time, and I'm still FA when it comes to relationships and not just smashing

I see this too, all the phucking time. Even manlets (less than 5'5"). I have no idea what the phuck they are doing.
