"Some girls care about height.'

Technically speaking, 70-80% of girls is considered "some."

[TheAngray]

I love when women talk about short guys because they are actually talking about 5'6 or 5'8 guys.
The really short guys who are 5'1, 5'2, 5'3 or 5'4 don't even exist in their eyes.

Beautiful woman tells short guys to have confidence. Beautiful woman has confident tall guy flirt with her, tells friends he was sexy. Beautiful woman has confident short guy hit on her. Tells friends it was creepy; then they share harassment stories.

Unfortunately, it dosent matter what Courtney says or believes, society has dictated that short guys are inferior to taller guys.

[JustGotALife]

Some girls care about heights (99.9%), some girls don't (0.1%)

[spadeyou]

Women: Don't lie about your height. Gimme a sec as I take photos of myself that hide features I'm insecure about and will use filters to fix the

[jeffdavis]

Women: men shouldn't be unattracted to us just bc we might be fat, and just accept us for us.
Women: No way would I ever want to be with a shorter guy!

[spainnamja]

5'3" and never gave a fuck about it. You're all kings, guys. Edit: I'm actually 5'4 (163cm)

I think you way undersold it by saying “some” girls. The truth is the far majority of women will not date a man shorter than they are. It’s very challenging to have the confidence you recommend when women not only will not give you the time of day but often express anger if you approach them. They take it as an insult that someone short would even dare to think they could find them attractive. I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings or make them feel less than so it’s very hard to ask someone out when knowing there is a good chance my doing so is going to have that affect on them.

Y'all in the comments being 5'7" guys saying "it's not that bad" make me laugh. You're still taller than the average American woman (5'4") by quite a bit. Try being 5'2" like me and then we can talk about the struggle. Personally, I have no trouble building up confidence (I'm about average in terms of intelligence, I'm short but not terrible looking, I have a secure job and love what I do, I have a loving family smd great friends, I have 2 college degrees, I'm very in touch with my emotions, I'm a musician/ creator/ teacher, and I'll try just about anything with an open mind), but when I go on multiple dating apps and get literally only 1 like/ match in 5 months after sending dozens of likes and trying to strike up some conversation only to be ignored, it's quite discouraging. I do my best to be personable while staying true to myself, but to no avail. And I will not lie about my height... I'm a very transparent person and don't think it's respectful to mislead someone. While height doesn't matter to me (tall, short, average, they're all cool with me!), it seems like it matters to so many people, even if they dance around it or deny it verbally. Is there any hope for me as a 5'2" man? Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have a fully functioning body and brain, and I remind myself how lucky I am for this daily, but sometimes I feel like it's unfair that I was born with this short stature. I'm tired of being lonely, and I want to find a lover and best friend that I can share a mature and deep bond with, grow and learn with, enjoy adventures with, and be a hopeless romantic for. I have so much love to give, but I feel like I never get much of a fighting chance. Ah well... I guess I'll keep trying. I just needed to get this all off my chest. What are your thoughts folks? Please be kind. I can take constructive criticism as long as it's *constructive*. 😎

The truth is, we all want what we don't have. I'm a 6'4 bald man. For a while, I would have killed to have a full head of hair. Heck, I would have been fine being 5'7 or 5'8 if that meant having a full head of hair. Until I was about 23, being bald bothered me. Thankfully, I have moved past that. What I'm trying to say is, God made everyone different for a reason. Accept who you are and start living.

Thanks Courtney for another great video!

[HollywoodActorRyanGosling]

Height doesn't really matter so much if you've met someone in person first. But on dating apps, where people are more superficial & picky because of all the options they have and how impersonal it is, it definitely does. I'm 6' 2", and I've still had girls say they're looking for guys 6' 3" and taller. Which at that point, I'm not sure whether they're looking for a boyfriend or recruiting for the NBA.

[Mr.White-]

I'm never felt short until the first time I used a dating app over the summer. I'm an extrovert, grew up without social media and have zero issues meeting women....when there's no pandemic. Do women realize that out of the 160 million men in the USA, that 14% are 6 feet? Every Tinder profile...."you must be 6 ft or taller" or "tall men only". It seems women on dating apps have some crazy sucks.

[Impulse]

I'm 5 foot 6, but when I was dating, girls always thought i was taller. So its definitely how you take care of yourself and how confident you come across :)

[rkvang]

Short Girls be 5 ft tall be wanting guys that are 5’8+ 😭😭😭

[seansmith]

There are people with Dwarfism. If they can live and be happy with themself you can.And if a girl judges you by your height, don't waste your time that just says all you need to know about her

[johnbaker]

Only a small percentage of women are interested in short men. The way I deal with it is I don't make the first move. If a woman first shows interest in me, then I know she is one of the very few women who are in that small percentage; and it saves a lot of time and resources. One thing that is annoying to me is the fact that even unusually short women prefer tall men.

[LEVIAHAN]

I`m 6`1 and I still struggle with women. Just remember, some women will almost ALWAYS find a fault in you no mater what criteria you fulfill.

Thank you for addressing this topic, Courtney. As a 5'5 man, this topic has hurt me for the past 30 years with constant rejection from women specifically for my height even though I may be in some cases six inches taller than some. Height never bothered men to this day at 45 years old but honestly, after being single for 30 years I'm just tired of my qualities of a man are judged solely for my height without one woman even knowing anything else about me. A study from Psychology Today says 97 percent of American women will reject short men for absolutely no logical reason what so ever. I work out, take care of my body, I have no kids (obviously), and secured and stable life for myself with my art business. That being said though, My only preference is absolutely any woman that is not obsessively overweight and has no kids because it doesn't fit my lifestyle. I can't be too picky being that over 30 years I've been interested in women who are tall, short, women in the "little people" community, women missing a front tooth, even a woman that lost both her arms.. the common denominator of all of these women is they have an extreme bias against short men (most of the rejections I get is "sorry but I don't do the short guy thing"). I get criticized heavily because I won't date single moms or morbidly obese women, however, I think those are practical reasons and not superficial. Being a short man plus bald I'm I wrong for having those two things as a dealbreaker? After all, I want to be the best gentleman to a woman, spoil her, love her, and make her my priority as much as I want to be her priority. I never once been a priority for a woman and would love to know what that feels like plus treat her like the only woman in the world and I know you just can't do that or be treated the same if she has kids. Everybody that vouched for me to their single friends says I'm a good guy, creative, funny, goal-driven, plus wants a travel companion after 20 years in the U.S. Army. It's always the same thing with the replies "he's too short, do you have any taller friends". I'm happy to see people that show their support for shorter men these days because in my day the 19802=90s being short was a dating life death sentence.

Growing up wrestling I've got a pretty good handful of short king friends. These guys put up some of the highest numbers I've heard of. Seems like attitude and how you carry yourself counts for a lot more than actual height.
