Don’t feel you measure up when it comes to leggy ladies? It’s just a matter of sizing up the competition.
Overcome your own prejudice. If you feel that being short is something to be ashamed of, women will pick up on that – and low self-esteem is a bigger turnoff than anything else.
When you meet a woman, make no references to height – yours or hers. Tall women find cracks about their size just as irritating as you find comments about yours.
Go for the really tall gals. They’re used to dating men that are shorter than them, so they may be more receptive to your advances than a woman who is only tall in relation to you.
Look prosperous when you’re on the prowl. It’s no secret that wealth tends to trump height, so invest in the successful man’s uniform: a well-cut suit, good shoes, and a status watch.
When approaching a woman, be friendly, not forward. Assume you have to overcome her resistance to dating a shorter man by showing her what a smart, funny, generous person you are before you ask her for her phone number.
If things don’t work out with the statuesque gals, set your sights a little lower. There are plenty of shorter women out there who’d love to look up to a guy like you.
Fact:
With an average height of 5-foot-10, American men are the shortest men in the industrialized world. Dutch men are the tallest, with the average man measuring 6-foot-1.
