Lonely New Year’s Eve

As far as I know, it’s not superficial – it’s hardwired by evolution. The reason being that a man’s size matters when it comes to protecting his partner and their offspring from physical threats. Those men who did that had offspring that survived – those who couldn’t did not.

But even though height is one of the main things women are drawn to, that doesn’t mean you should give up if you are short. I am speaking as a tall guy who is terrible with women and have met several short guys I was deeply jealous of because of the women they were with.

What you should do is:

a) Develop other attractive traits to compensate for your height. That could be a strong work ethic, good social skills, physical strength, self-defence skills, or really any skills that are useful and in demand. Tech skills, science skills, language skills, teaching, cooking, art – whatever you can become accomplished at.

b) Maximize your mate value by choosing the right mating market. If you are short, it would probably be unwise to try your luck in the Netherlands or Serbia, two of the countries in the world where people are, on average, tallest. The competition from other men would be ruthless, and the women themselves would be tall, making you seem even shorter by comparison. Whereas if you move to a place where people are generally shorter, e.g. South America or East Asia, you would probably do a lot better with women. This way of looking at it, i.e. mating markets of supply and demand is really useful with regards to other traits too, by the way. Use it to go places where your mate value is highest, and the women you like the most are likely to be found.

Good luck
