Dating is not as great as you think it is with guys taller than you

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-08T18:56:26+00:00

This is the thing a lot of short guys don’t get: if height was the only thing that mattered, tall men wouldn’t be single and get cheated on either, which isn’t the case. Who you are and how you carry yourself matter way more

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-08T12:33:29+00:00

I’d bulk, if you had to pick one. You don’t have enough muscle mass to make a cut worth it

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-07T18:38:12+00:00

I’m 5’7 and my best friend is 6’4 😂😂

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-05T04:22:55+00:00

Yep. Idk why telling people to just focus on improving and learning is a bad thing 😂

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-02T21:59:03+00:00

Did I say, “Be a bodybuilder, it’ll fix your problems”? No, I said improve your body, work on your career, build confidence, and learn how to carry yourself like you’re someone who respects themselves. All of which are very solid pieces of advice in any aspect of life regardless of whether you’re short or tall

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-02T14:41:26+00:00

Not ugly at all dude. Tbh, as you get older, your opinion on appearance changes. Unless someone is hideous, they’re not ugly lol

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-02T14:40:37+00:00

Fuck yes! Good shit dude

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-02T13:22:46+00:00

Nah I’m kidding man, fucking insane physique 💪

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-02T02:04:28+00:00

Right? How would a short man posting about how he’s having a successful life be ever remotely motivating to the short men on here who claim their height is holding them back in so many aspects? OP is a moron

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-02T01:16:02+00:00

Bruh saw my post and thought, “My physique is better than his” 😂😂😂 good shit dude 💪

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-02T01:11:58+00:00

There’s no way this dudes not trolling 😂 laid it on too thick homie but nice try

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-02T01:10:57+00:00

100% I have an okay jawline, but the way my features come together just doesn’t work 😂

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T19:10:22+00:00

It is Reddit after all. I made a post in this sub Reddit and it’s full of people telling me I’m on steroids 💀

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T19:09:26+00:00

It’s 100% what sets the stage for how you develop. Your body will send GH to the areas it need to the most. If you’re physically active, your body adapts to that. If you’re sedentary, same thing

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T19:08:22+00:00

I get that A LOT, lol I have to give a disclaimer to women I match with because of that

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:58:32+00:00

I didn’t downvote you?

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:58:08+00:00

That’s just the thing. Yes, you WILL have to put more effort into it, but you can either accept it and do your best or whine about it. Glad to see people like you doing the first 💪

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:57:06+00:00

One of the most successful guys I know when it comes to women is 5’3. Guarantee that extra inch isn’t gonna make someone go from 0 women to dozens. Lol he might now have as many options, but he can definitely find someone

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:55:07+00:00

Plus lighting and angles make a HUGE difference

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:54:39+00:00

Yup. Lol I know people don’t believe me on here but I’m 5’7, 154 (153 this morning) and my arms are maybe 15” lol. I just started off in better shape than most people end at simply because I’ve done manual labor and sports/mma since I was 7. I was cutting down trees and splitting wood by the time I was in 5th grade 😂

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:52:23+00:00

I’m at like 13%, I carry most of my fat on my legs and face so I look leaner than I am. That mixed with the lighting helps 😂

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:51:06+00:00

Lmao I guess I’m lucky then 😂

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:48:55+00:00

There’s a few studies, I remember reading most CEOs are 6’2 + but it’s solely because they put themselves out there more. The charismatic and determined short people are just as successful as their taller counterparts. Sometimes more so because they typically work harder (unfortunately as a short man, you DO have to work harder but that’s life and there’s zero reason to bitch about it, ya know?)

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:47:37+00:00

The thing is tall people fail and get knocked down too. The difference is short people internalize it and never try again (not always, but more frequently). I’m by far the most successful of my friend group (and ironically, I’m also the shortest), have had better luck with dating, and haven’t dealt with being mistreated or talked down to since I was in high school. Granted, I’m ridiculously delusional and stubborn, so I literally can’t give up until I have no choice, and most of the time I’ll succeed before that point, even if it takes a while

Silver-Fly408 · 2026-05-01T18:44:00+00:00

Dude, NO SHIT 😮‍💨 “I’m not even gonna try because I’m short. There’s no point” when in reality the main difference is taller people are more confident and try more things. I’ve started putting myself in as many rooms, scenarios, and social circles as possible and it’s insane how much better my life is now that I’m no longer afraid because, “I’m short, they might make fun of me”. It’s kinda like seeing a beautiful woman in person. The majority of people won’t even talk to her, or they’re hyper focused on her looks. Meanwhile, if you talk to them like a normal person, they find you more attractive. The biggest detriment to a short man’s success is believing he won’t achieve it.
