So straight up, I (m/21) am 5’4, 5’5 on a good day. I’m also a virgin who’s never held hands with a girl, never mind gone on a date or had a girlfriend. The two are unquestionably connected – I’ve watched girls walk right past me to go flirt with the 6’ tall dudes instead, even though I’m exactly their type in every other way. And don’t get me started on dating apps, I may as well be invisible on there and even then I see “if you’re under 6’ swipe left” all the damn time.
I know all the tricks for looking taller, I don’t like boots and I refuse to use lifts. I just want to know why nobody wants to admit that if you’re not taller than 5’10, you may as well give up trying to date.
