If you haven't ever asked yourself how much more women you could attract into your life if you were just a little bit taller... this might not be the place for you. None of the things I'm about to say haven't already been said somewhere before, so I take 0 credit. I'm 5'5. I've been told by plenty of women that I'm not tall enough, or I'm too short, etc... literally, overtly, words coming from their mouth, body language, ques, everything. However, I've come to learn over the years, that it really doesn't matter as much as people (women especially) may make you think it is. I've been sexually active since I was 15, and I haven't grown much since then. I guess I was lucky to have started so early, because I was exposed to the fact that it didn't matter that I was short; women would still share their intimacy. It wasn't until later in my life that being short became some sort of obstacle. It was actually pretty interesting that it didn't matter throughout my teenage years and even into my mid twenties, and all of a sudden in my later 20s it kind of did. The key was that it didn't matter TO ME until it all of a sudden just DID. The place where it seemed to be quite important was in the realm of online dating, where women can filter men based on their height, and yet we have no filter for waist size, weight, or any of the other physical attributes we might find attractive. I was... floating for years in the blue pill matrix, and yet somehow, deep down I had characteristics that allowed me to attract women, despite me being only 5'5. I never knew about the red pill, studied game, read dating or inter-sexual relationship books, etc... until late into my 28th year on the amazing fucking planet (I say that with completely genuine awe and reverence; gratitude is one of the reasons I was doing ok with women). I wasn't a player per say, I had LTRs and flings and one night stands. I wasn't sleeping with the hottest chicks around, but they were still attractive and desirable, and I still got play more often than a lot of men that I knew growing up, and still to this day, many of whom were in the ideal 5'10 to 6'2 club. It is your energy, your mental state, your physical fitness, your diet, your vocabulary, your actions, your passions, your finances, your intelligence... everything except your height that makes you attractive. The best thing about being short, was the inherent necessity to just be the best version of myself because all anyone could ever say about me was.. you're short. That's literally it. THAT is your game. Abundance mentality; there are BILLIONS of women in the world... THAT is your game. When I first saw things from a red pill perspective, it almost seems that I was worse off, because I genuinely thought for some amount of time, that because I was short, women would never be truly attracted to me. That I would never be "alpha", and that I would always be stuck a league beneath where I truly deserved to be, simply because I was short. The one thing that was outside of my control, and yet had such a massive impact on female attraction... I saw being tall(er) as a huge advantage (and it is, but it is not everything). Being of a 5'10+ height is like the equivalent of having every woman know you have ten million dollars right off the bat. How the fuck was I supposed to compete... Yet... I was able to compete BEFORE I tasted the red pill. It took me a while to snap out of whatever idiotic stupor I was in before I realized that I was getting play before RP awareness, so why would that change? It was because MY own evaluation of MYSELF had changed. You need to be incredibly self confident as a short man, and THAT is your game. Everything that makes you fucking awesome IS your game. Learn how to fight, lift heavy fucking weights, learn to play music or sing, develop talents, and passions for things that you TRULY love to do and are worth while. These things will give you more confidence. Unfortunately... unless you plan on become a pro... I would advise against video games as a hobby as it does not translate particularly well with women, although there are exceptions here too. Yea... taller guys can get away with staring at screens for fucking hours. Short men must utilize every second they can to the best of their ability, and for rest and relaxation, because... after all we are competing with men that have 10 million dollars in their pockets at all times (tall boys). The thing that I was unhappy about myself with the most was out for everyone to see... Might as well own that shit. The shit test for us will almost always be the short man shit test in some form or another, and there will be more shit tests than normal because we are short. Learning how to use this to your advantage IS your game. You've gotta KNOW you are the shit. Not believe it. KNOW it. And if you don't know it yet... then make yourself so fucking great, that you recognize it and believe it until you KNOW it. I was lucky that I had an early start, I learned how to play guitar and sing, I was a straight A student in school, I played sports, I partied hard, and I was already getting laid midway through high school. If it wasn't for me starting early, it would probably have been much more difficult to find my way back into the... "zone" for lack of a better term (there is probably already a term for this somewhere) after discovering TRP. Make all of the rejections you've ever had count, and LEARN from them. Short man game is not different from game... there are just more shit tests. This is a barrier or a distinction you've created for yourself. Being "alpha" is a mindset that quality men exist within, regardless of how tall they are. However, I can see how difficult it might be to overcome the barriers and YEARS of conditioning from your peers, society and women, that you're just too short... Get over it. You can't change your height. But you can change yourself. The best way is to literally follow the advice that has been presented to you all over the manosphere (this is literally the first time I've ever typed that word) and become someone who you KNOW is the shit.
