That's just reality. Dude could find some nice 4'11" girl to settle down with someday if he plays his cards right, srs.
Go for the short meh looking one's is like rule number 1 for me lol. Of course, what else do you think I'd do?

Wingmen can get feelers out there for you.

I mean, I'm a "boomer". If I go to a bar or nightclub, I'm not seeing people my age there. Maybe a hole-in-the-wall bar, but they are usually washed up, already drunk before they even enter the door, and at the edge of suicide/depression.

I meet more people this way than on apps.
The issue with hobby groups is its become unacceptable to be too forward with women in those settings. You have to indirectly over time wait for someone you happen to have some chemistry with show up and you can ask them out. If you get rejected it can be awkward especially if you do it with multiple women.

At bars there's more of a direct license to just go for it and you can play a volume game.

You should try a bar with a dj and small dance floor. Makes striking up a convo easier.

The dress is fine. I'm not winning best dressed but it's fine enough.

Man, just speaking to you as non-typical rollerball as I can be, you need to ask yourself if you really are doing all that you can. Because, with zero offense intended, to me you 100% are not.
if youre going to not believe me, what was the point of asking

What are you talking about, you asked and I gave the answer. its fine. I'm not dressing to the nines but I'm not bumming it either. its fine.

Totally fine to say I need to do more and really drip out. But it sounded like you dismissed my answer.

If he's legitimately 5'3" and only average looking beyond that, he needs to stay in his lane and go for really short, homely looking women IRL. He should probably be willing to consider accepting single mothers too, especially if he's in his 30's.

That's just reality. All he's doing by trying to find dates on apps at his height is needlessly torturing himself.

That was 7 years ago. The apps have changed and women have gotten even crazier since then.

7 years ago I was doing better with less. The conditions just got way worse even in this time

I have upped my game in every conceivable way. Times have just changed.

Realistically I may just be priced out of this market.

5'3 is a killer for sure, but then you add on average at best face, ethnic african looking, its just ridiculously awful odds out there.

My only rule is no fat chicks.

For sex I would bang any non fat chick.

For an actual relationship, no single moms, fat chicks, or white women.

Having a good job also makes you more appealing for women.

You have an Ivy league degree but you're not working? How is that going to look to a potential mate?

Plus you're 32 and no single moms? You're basically wiping out most single women over 30 and you can't be picky at your state. I mean this is starting to sound like you're trolling lol.

I'm not trolling. This is all hypothetical because I cant even get to step one which is matching with someone on a dating app. Let alone all the things you're talking about.

If I cant even get to step 1, none of the other stuff even matters

You're right, womanmores is another legitimate angle he could take. I've seen my share of couples where some 4/10 chick who is 6'1" is with a manlet.

Whatever works!

Put some grey pants on and get your bulge looking good and hold a puppy while you get a pic. Works every time

True, but girls who are drunk, horny, and dancing might be a good bet for you. And they're usually more open to being approached on a dance floor.

yeah, hop on youtube and pick up some basics from your boy LORD HEC



obviously you don't actually do these moves, look too tryhard, but learning the moves themselves allows you to develop a little bit of skill and then you just tone down all of the movements

Nope, I like dancing but I'm not good.

And the hurdle is even getting to a dance in the first place. They dont say yes if I ask

Dance floors are usually flooded with tyrones. I just cant stand out out there.

I think someone just chilling more relaxed that I can actually talk to might be better. Especially if we're sitting down so no height mogging can happen

womanmore is to women what manlet is to men. They're self conscious about seeming less feminine, and some guys will ignore women for being too tall. It's usually the tiniest women looking for the tallest men with the exception of Hispanics.
