I see two main strategies for short dudes.

1. Find an even shorter chick I mean seriously women get down like to 5' 0" it's ridiculous.

2. Date an 6'6" or higher Amazon of a woman. They are used to being the tall one anyway and maybe it will be fun always being at boob height.

Become rich, problem solved.

Nah like look at all the tech worker weirdos who got a ton of money but are still too broken to have relationships-- they end up obsessed with women sponging on them while loving Chad "Alimony" Thundercock every night they're stuck in the office.

I'm 5' 7" and the women I've dated have all been my height plus or minus an inch or two. You're not doomed if you're short, except that you might have to work a little harder at the other stuff depending on who you're going after (hygiene, being a cool dude, etc.)

Actually it was an important moment in my life when I overheard the girl at our college who wore a cape saying "I love power metal" and I was like, poo poo, that's it, no more power metal.

The Smiths are the best nice guy music to grow up loving because once you listen to them and are kind-of disgusted by how whiny they are you know that you've grown up.

I love The Smiths, but Morrissey is only tolerable when you realize (or imagine) his whining is a big inside joke. Nobody can be THAT pathetic, right?

Also, I listen to all kinds of weird poo poo, and my wife is indifferent or dislikes a lot of it. It turns out that liking the same music isn't the bedrock of solid relationships.

Yeah, media preferences are like the stupidest thing that people think makes them compatible. But it's a surprisingly common attitude. "We both like Dr Who, we're meant to be!!!!*"

Weezer's "Pinkerton" was the perfect album for high school sad sack-nice guys who can't get laid. Rivers Cuomo wrote most of the songs while high on painkillers!

Tracks included:
- Whining about getting hurt by girls
- Japanese culture
- Lesbians???

Or funny, or charming, or weird, or any other reason as long as the short guy has bigger fish to fry than being self concious about his height. Some women will still really really care about height but seriously, as a towering giant, I wouldn't want such shallowness to suckle on my penis anyway so why should short people care.

I'm surrounded by friends who are short but also very charming and funny and they get laid all the drat time. Makes a brother feel inadequate about his stable relationship.

Many incel guys dont view life as a learning experience. Who is good at flirting at first? Nobody. First time you try to hunt for pussy youre probably gonna send a dick pic or say 'hey wanna gently caress' while looking all cramped up from anxiety to some random girl.

Then the incels never make the connection to think "Hmmm, this didnt work, how can I narrow my technique down from 'nothing' and 'send dick pic' and develop something a little more personal and charming in between those two things?"

Instead its all about sexual marketplace or whatever.

The fact that they so commonly speak specifically about the "market value" of a person's sex appeal makes me think they are libertarians in which case they are terrible people who don't deserve sex anyway.

Its sad, and weird. Because as soon as one of those guys actually get to have sex, all these stupid rules about chad thundercock just ceases to mean anything. But that is also stupid, because our society should NOT place such value on losing virginity. Masculinity is waaaay to strictly defined about these things and then you get weirdo incels as a by product of that and nobody is happy.
