There are some men who will always get dates in spite of their height. Tom Cruise is just 5’7” and has married two beautiful women who were both taller than him. Al Pacino is the same height and he has never had problems with either success or women, either. But when it comes to the average guy on the street who doesn’t have star power behind him, will he get the same number and quality of dates that a taller guy would? Unfortunately, the answer is no.
If you ask most women if they would date a short man, they will tell you that at the very least they want a man who is taller than them, and preferably several inches taller than them. So if you are pursuing a woman who is a little on the taller side, you may have a hurdle that you just can’t overcome.
Of course, there are always instances of women dating men who are shorter. After all, Nicole Kidman did marry Tom Cruise, but he has other factors that overpower his lack of height – fame, money, success, good looks! If you don’t have any (or all) of those going for you, then you will need to come up with another plan.
One of the ways of overcoming height issues that a lot of men are using these days is something called Lift Kits. These are interchangeable neoprene insoles that go right into your existing shoes. You can wear them with dress or casual shoes, or even your athletic shoes. They are comfortable and can help with back and knee problems, but more importantly, they will make you anywhere from one inch to two inches taller. No one can see that you are wearing them, but you will find that you can instantly command the respect you have been missing all of these years.
