I want to know. If a guy is short and under 6ft can he compensate for the lack of height by building a lot of muscle? Or will he always be unfuckable to you no matter how much he improves his physique?

I just want to know if i should waste my time or not.

under 6' is not short. Some expectations of normal or average on here are weird. Had a profile take a pop at me for not being tall enough, her profile said "must be taller than me" she was 5'7". What she meant was 6'4" minimum. Yeah good look with that! Also, just say....

Sort of true. But this is a very competitive place where you have to look amazing otherwise you really won’t get far. Height matters a ton to women, but it’d be interesting to know if a muscular body can overcompensate for being short.

I’m average looking and have a belly. I do just fine. It’s not always about looks.

I would not waste your time , not because you’re unfuckable but I wouldn’t waste time changing my body for other people, do it for you, or stick with the sofa and Big Macs

I'm 5'10" and OK I'm strong but not necessarily muscular but I have a great personality and it's that that most women prefer and like somebody else said do it for you not for a woman that doesn't exist yet

I'm 5'10 and athletic.

I once knew a woman who said although I'm handsome and have a great body, she'd never date me as I'm below 6 foot....

...I said that was fine as I don't date women who weigh more than 11 stone. She didn't like that one bit.

If I go by the unwritten demographics of this place then I'm "short and under 6ft"...and lacking in 'compensatory' muscle.

I would hope that I'm doing ok from a 'fuckability' perspective.

Don't give up.

Under 6-ft isn't necessary short.

I think confidence is a massive turn on a man, so maybe work on that instead of building muscle. And remember, the brain is the most powerful muscle

There are quite a few women who fancy:

Tom Cruise

Jack Black

Bruno Mars

Kevin Hart

Usher

James McAvoy

Zac Efron

etc.

So, you might want to re-evaluate your assumptions here.

don't bother matey.

people with the short hang-up will use it against you no matter what.

train hard and get muscular - you're a try hard, be the smartest man in the room - you can't protect her , be a ferocious fighter - angry little man, be successful in business and make a ton of money - napoleon syndrome, etc etc

dosen't even matter Why people can think like this, but some just do.

if you want to have a muscular body because it'll make You happy then do the work and earn the reward of feeling good.

lean into who you are and be the best at being you. x

There is no need to "compensate" for lack of height or anything else... Always be you, then it guarantees you will always find your people! Anyone that isn't interested in you because of these things, just aren't for you and matter not.

As soon as you think that you need to ´compensate’ to get laid, you are setting yourself to fail anyway.

Wanting to build some muscles is not a bad idea in itself, what is bad is believing that you need to compensate something you don’t have in order to be able to meet people on here.

The person asking the question is shorter than the average British male so short is appropriate! Or I could say I’m not into guys shorter than the average British male.

There's lots of women who only go for taller guys OP, you're right there but there's also a shit ton that dont care either way. Rather than try change the mind of a woman into taller guys by hitting the gym I'd rather just disregard them and concentrate on those that aren't only into tall guys.

I've found overall though that yes, your chances and the way you're perceived will improve dramatically if you build a Muscular physique. There's a reason stripper etc are all jacked with abs.

That being said I really wouldn't just hit the gym purely for aesthetic reasons and to please others. To build a decent physique (unless you're generically gifted) takes a great deal of dedication and commitment, if you're not doing it for your own enjoyment then that would be a sad existence

It sounds like you have a few specific members you’re interested in but have a height preference for the prospective meets.

Ultimately, you may come to see it as the waste of time you’re wondering it may be, as height may be non-negotiable and the change in physique will never guarantee desired outcome.

If you want to change your physique, only change because it’s something you want, not because of a notion that it will give you an advantage for meets on here.

5ft10 is the average height so they’d be average in the grand scheme of things but TO ME under 6ft is short since I’m 5ft11 just like a guy if 5ft7 is probably tall to someone 4ft11. I only really see guys as tall if they’re taller than me.

I understand the 'to me' bit, no need to shout it. Hence why i referenced average height standards.

What started this nonsense off was you said, in response to the OP referencing under 6ft guys,that you werent into short guys. Ergo, it appeared you were suggesting under 6ft is short.

We all get now that what you meant was TO YOU under 6ft is short
