So I'm barely 5'7" man, so am I undesirable by default?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm barely even 5'7" tall and a man, why is it so hard for me? I should've been born a woman, it sucks. What's the point of being attracted to really beautiful girls if the majority of women prefer a man taller than them? I tried confiding in my parents, but all they do is laugh at me, but at the same time they say they understand me and I can tell them anything. I don't get it. It's not fair, I wish I didn't care because I have it so hard.

Also, my life has never gone the way I wanted it to. I'm 25, can't drive (now), and live at home with parents and no job. I really mean it, I will take any job in a split-second, but even getting there is tough if you only ride the bus or lift service. God just wants me to be miserable all day, he cursed me with an attraction to really beautiful girls. In fact, attraction is quite high up there on my qualities for a partner.

No matter if I do get a job, or go to the gym, are the majority of girls still going to be unattractive to me? Oh well, the bible said we won't be married or reproducing in heaven. If I chose what my heaven looked like, I'll be my ideal height, and I will have a partner who was more attractive compared to a good amount of others and their partners.

I'm 5 foot 4.75. I don't find myself undesirable. I'm a shrimp compared to you.

Why can't you learn to drive? You should at least try.

It look me a long time to learn to drive.

Yeah, I decided I am going to learn but we haven't got a timeline sorted out yet.

And forget about your height. 5 foot 7 is not really short.

I didn't think most females where over 5' 7", not all of them care how tall you are or even if they typically find tallness more attractive it wouldn't be an absolute requirement. I mean how tall is it you think most people are?

One thing that took me a while to grasp was the fact that I didn't need to attract women (many) I was attracted to.
I needed to attract a woman (one), who I was also attracted to. (and be compatible with)

It largely didn't matter if the vast majority found me unattractive.

Attractiveness is selective at best.

Eventually I found someone who I am very attracted to and who is very attracted to me.
I feel as if "society" would say she is completely out of my league but in her eyes I am attractive.

So no, you are not "Undesirable By Default", You just need to find the few that appreciate you for who you are, and your looks.

Lindy Remigino was just 5' 6" and 138 lbs when he won the 100m dash in the Olympics! He and his wife have five kids.

5'7 is average.

I bet that the non-driving, living with parent (for westerns) and no job are bigger turn off.

It's really not that unusual for an under 25 person to be living with parents still in the Western world.

Income is a big factor--I changed my income from average to above average on my dating profile and it made a big difference in the interest I get from the ladies. I factored in my income from tax free municipal bonds to push my income over the threshold.

I am 5'7 3/4

Does that make me similar height catergory to the OP?

It depends on your posture. If you stand up straight, you look taller. If you slouch, you look shorter.
