can a 5' 6 guy still be attractive?

The global amount of people preferring the company of flies over people would probably be statistically the same as the amount of women preferring to bang men who are below 5"7 over those who are that size or taller I guess.

Are you sure they are not more?

i was once "taken a shining to" by a rather insistent blowfly on november 18th 1996, and it proceeded to harass me for quite some time before i got on a train which eluded it's advances. when i alighted the train a few stops later, i was walking down the street, and guess what? i was harassed by the same fly! i recognized it immediately and i ducked into a tavern and phoned the police and told them i was being stalked by a blow fly, and as i was giving the description of the fly to the police so they could get right onto the case and get a car out to the area, i was told that the description of the fly was unnecessary, and so i told them i could come in and help them create a photofit drawing so they could release it to the papers to warn others to be on the lookout for this fly.

it is better to be stalked by a girl than a fly, because the police are not helpful with fly problems.

Yes. Height is really one of the least important things when it comes to attractiveness- I know there's people that would disagree, but height is generally something of a tertiary concern. If you're worried about whether or not you're attractive you have more important factors to think about.

Yeah, even some family members like my uncle and a far nephew seem to strangely prefer talking to flies over people.

It's surprising how common this phenomenom is.

Flies don't point out stuff like--are you really sure she was referring to your height?

Your height doesn't sound like a turn-off to me, but can I be honest? Your statement about "wanting to find a beautiful girl" most certainly is. I understand you want to feel attracted to someone you date, but does she really have to be "beautiful" before you can do that?" What about average looking with a great smile? What about sweet looking with a great sense of humor? That simple statement sounds like all you care about is her outside, when long run what she looks like will be one of the least important factors in creating a solid relationship. Do you even want a solid relationship, or is having an attractive ornament on your arm all you care about?

Just food for thought.

One of my college friends talked about a classmate who appeared (fully clothed) on a magazine cover.
He pointed out she was well endowed and attractive--she would only date rich guys--and complained that everyone she dated was a jerk.

Suppose you do hook up with an attractive girl with a busy social life, now what? Are you prepared to go the weddings of all her friends? More importantly, can you deal with the cost of maintaining a beautiful image--top drawer clothes, cosmetics, and jewelry aren't cheap. Not to mention the cost of going to social events--girls can't wear the same dress. Or are you looking for someone who wants to retire from the social scene and become a stay at home mom living in a suburb with an excellent school system--which means a good job with and commute for you. Maybe you want to be the one taking care of the kids 24x7 while she travels around the country earning a living?

I've had two major crushes. The first one was 5'6", the current one probably isn't much taller. (I'm 5'4", at least they're easier to hug!)

Yes. I am a 5'6 guy and I'm extremely attractive

j/k, however I don't think I'm bad looking. I have started to see advantages in being short. It's useful in certain sports, i.e. distance running, and low-weight-category weightlifting. The gold winner of the mens 55kg (or is it 48kg? The lowest mens category, anyway.) category in the 2012 Olympics was 4'11 and he lifted 3 times his own weight above his head.
Also small people tend to live longer, can hide in smaller spaces, have a better time on aeroplanes and buses, tend to injure themselves less when they fall over, etc etc.

yeah why not?

A lot of women want a man that is at least their height or taller. You're 5 ft 6 which really isn't terribly short. There are plenty of women who are at least 2 inches shorter. Is your height going to be a turn off for some women? Yes it will. But for other woman, 5 ft 6 is acceptable and not a deal breaker.


If you find that you can't get a girlfriend, it is not just your height. Maybe you are doing something wrong.

I am 5'7" and have been married for 15 years, so yes, your height is not going to be a big problem. I work with 2 guys shorter than I am (never thought that would happen) and both of them are married, but neither is an Aspie, though. I have been turned down for numerous reasons, but my height was never given as one of them.

Yes all you really need are average looks and a decent personality and you're set, with the latter being the far more important quality to just about everyone.

Sure. But not to all women.

Absolutely.
