I have no idea how this is even up for debate. 6'2 > 5'8. You can make up for that in different ways, but you're still at a disadvantage to start.

I just want to look like Eric Decker is that so much to ask!

It's just funny when people act like the preference doesn't exist. I understand the idea of focusing on things you have control over and improving self confidence but it's important in all aspects of life to understand how people perceive you. Which ties back to the same thing I told Placido. Acting like things don't exist is fine in theory but acknowledging and understanding they do is a key first step.

Down dwell on it obviously.

And be confident is silly advice too because the opposite (don't be confident) is never good advice. So it's a given.

Will there be a europe meet up next year? Need to start planning if so. Definetely going if it is relatively close. (Suecia)

Any thoughts on asking out a girl from the gym? Crossfit specifically. I guess just wait until after (when we both are dead tired) and ask her to get a drink?

Never asked out a girl from gym (creepy?) before but she's hot and seems to flirt with me.

I said no such thing. There's more to physical attraction than height.

LOL. Nobody said finding a girl that is attracted to you is difficult. What we're saying is you must meet a threshold of yes/no. Walking up to a girl that is not attracted to you and never will be is not going to end well. You can't "own" being too ugly/awkward/whatever. If a girl isn't interested, she isn't interested. If she's on the fence, you can definitely sway her by not being an idiot.

lol

i assume you know this, but i would obviously ask her to get the drink on a different night than straight from the gym when your asking her. so i dont know why the underlined would matter.

man this thread has been pretty cringe-worthy the last couple of weeks. everything from talking about luciddream to the 19th "does being tall matter" conversation. where did the situational advice and fun stories go? sheesh.

Nice.

Looking forward to the best virginity TR since Gus banged that chubby chick a couple years back.

Is it standard to meet a nice young lady off of tinder then have her come over to get in the hot tub and then watch a movie and never get past hand to hand combat?

No

I mean it's not standard to meet a virgin in general or off tinder. Only virgin I've been with is who I lost my virginity to. Only other time was Russian co-worker that was documented itt and only progressed as much as it did because 4 days a week I was next to her for 6hrs.


Which funny anecdote about her: Ive had her on my snapchat this whole time lol. For anyone unaware I was her first everything although she cut her hair and TB was back in the picture around the month she wanted me to take her virginity so I didn't do that. She had never seen an R rated movie anything and was decently attractive. She married the next guy she talked to and immediately had sex without condoms and has a kid otw. She only posts snaps of her baking really fancy stuff. May be the one pure wife material on the planet tbh . Wonder what she thinks about me now

This is just blatantly false. Initial attraction is definitely helpful, but there can be plenty of situations where the girl can become attracted to you the more time you spend or if you demonstrate certain things that aren't readily known by her.

You've never been not interested in a girl originally and then later on you are? Or vice versa?


You could just also be underestimating how big the on the fence gap is between yes and no is.

Gus,

I recommend reading some studies on how strong first impressions are. Can they be overcome in some cases? Of course, but I don't think it's as common as you suggest.

100% serious response: No

The decision making process starts with:

1) Would I?
2) Wouldn't I?

If 1, proceed. Then find out they're level of crazy later

This is why dating doesn't often progress past a few dates. Both parties are somewhat interested initially and then it fades. There's rarely such a thing as "getting to know somebody slowly" in the modern ADD smartphone era where there is endless supply of testosterone approaching women. Girls know very quickly whether they are interested in you.

In some circumstances yes but she would still have to meet my initial attraction standards. If I wasn't attracted to her I would never go out with her even if she was perfect personality wise.

FYP

you are absolutely correct.

simply put, being shorter just means your game has to be a bit sharper, smoother and more on point in general.

6ft guy will have an easier time than someone 5'5.


okay, change of discussion is Tinder 2015 as good as it was a couple years ago?

For me it is. Im not sure about other guys, ive been averaging 200 matches a month but I usually delete it every month and restart so i can start fresh and get new matches. Ironically it wasn't that good for me a couple years ago, its only this year i started to get real results from tinder. That might be because ive got better pics idk.

There's certainly more volume on Tinder now, but that means it's become a basic online account that nearly everybody has. You're single? You have Tinder. You're a human being? You likely have a social media account of some sort.

More attention seeking and validation than ever before. I match with girls and rarely message them so lol me.

which type of pics have you guys had the most success with? solo or pics of you out and about with friends?
