Any hope for short guys?

Hi, are there any hopes of romance for short guys? I've come to
realize that in the pick and choose game, the short guy is the least
likely to be picked by either the girl or their parents, no matter
what his personality is or how good a person he is. Besides jumping
down the golden gate and hope that the next life is taller, are there
any hints or suggestions? anything I can do to improve the
probability? Any success stories? FYI, I am no seduction expert, I am
25, my dating skill is merely entry level college, ie, I get hurt too
easily and it takes me a long time to recover. I am certainly not bad
looking, just short. :-( I am doing pretty good careerwise (ie, not a
millionear but makes a fairly decent living). I am somewhat quiet,
though I am trying very hard to change that.

I would like to believe that there is a person is out there for
everyone, but it just seems less and less likely that I will ever find
anyone like that.... I've gone through some semi relationships and it
just seems hopelessly depressing.

Anyway, thanks for reading and have a good day.

They key is to stop caring about your height, treat it as
an after thought.. joke about it,

***look people in the eye when you talk (at ALL times)***

and throw on a little bit of a guilt trip if they give any
indication of a height bias without sounding the least bit
bitter... if you want to make a physical difference I suggest
body building or some form of martial arts. The idea is
to give you a tougher image.

That's about all you can do.

Some Guy Writes:

<--------Your only real hope is to find that rare, exceptional woman who
will overlook your lack of height and keep her long-term. Women hold
short men in contempt for the most part. Many of the beliefs they have
about short men are downright disturbing. They see short men as
literally less MANLY than tall men. Even more disturbing is how short
men take this emotional beating. Rather than point out how STUPID it is
for women to judge men on the basis of height, they let women get away
with this by continuing to respect their oppressors, often under the
false hope that having a "positive attitude" (denial is postiive now it
seems) will win the women over.

I used to have sympathy for short men until I realized if they are not
going to fight for their own causes, there's not much that will change.
I'm 6'2" so I benefit from this stupidity, but that doesn't make it any
more valid.

No, there is no hope at all. Just ask Jimmy Cagney, Edward G. Robinson,
Napoleon, Danny DeVito, Ian Holm, Michael J. Fox, et cetera, et cetera!

Height will not affect how well you end up doing if you have skill in
conversation, capturing and leading a woman's imagination. Just being happy,
relaxed and experimenting with different aspects of seducing women will
help, but developing the skillset that allows you to make choices is a must.

Gee, I'm 6'2" and I went through the same feeling - except not about my
height. It was my ability to attract and keep a good woman, without her
finding me wanting in some important aspect and leaving me. I got over it. I
got married, then happily divorced. Now I am seeing women in a whole new
light. Heck, even my ex likes me!

The perfect male partner for the tango is only 1 inch taller than his
female partner. Learn to tango.

Of cource there is hope.

I will be honest, a lot of women prefer a taller man, but really, if you
have a good personality and she is attracted to you and likes you...she
won't go look elsewhere just because you are shorter than her.

I know a girl, she is beautiful, could get just about any man and right now
she is with someone who is goodlooking, but short. At first I was surprised.
When I've talked to her in the past about men she always stresses that she
likes tall men. So, it just goes to show that when it comes right down to
it, you won't be ditched over height alone.
If you have bad luck with women try looking within yourself instead of
blaming it on your height.

Just a thought!
