I’m not here to say that being tall doesn’t give you an advantage or that height has no effect on dating, that’s obviously just false. But if you have everything else in order, is it really so over that all women will reject you just because of your height?

For some context, I’m 19 and currently in university. Among my friends, plenty of the guys who are average height or shorter have girlfriends. One of them is 5’3”, which a lot of people would claim is “game over” height, but despite that he has a girlfriend.

That’s why I’m curious how much of what I see reflects reality versus selection bias. What have your experiences been? Has your height significantly affected your dating life, and if so, how?

Thx for taking your time to comment in advance 🙏

For my ladies here, what traits do you want to see in a guy for you to seriously commit to a long term relationship with them that could lead to marriage/a family?

I just feel like I’m not having a lot of success with that at the moment.

Also, if it’s necessary, I could describe myself and my traits in the comments below.

Thanks in advance for any advice 🙂‍↕️

So, I’m a 19 year old dude, and I’m having love troubles.

I’m in university rn and I don’t really have any difficulties getting dates as gorls are usually pretty receptive if I ask for their number. But every time I decide to make a girl my gf and we date for a while, I quickly find out that they either aren’t looking for anything serious, or just straight up haven’t really thought much about the future at all.

And that’s kinda a huge non-negotiable for me.
I’ve always been the type of person who dates with intention. I’m not really interested in dating just for fun, casually messing around, or being in relationships that don’t really have any direction. I know for a fact that in the future I want marriage, I want kids, I want to build a family, and I care a lot about finding someone who wants those same things.

The problem is that most girls around my age seem way more uncertain about all of that. A lot of them are more in the “just seeing what happens” phase, and while I totally get that, I don’t really wanna spend months or years investing into a relationship where there was never really any long-term purpose behind it.

I’ve tried asking out older women too (23–27ish) because I thought they’d be more serious and more future-oriented, but they all turn me down cuz I’m too young. One of them literally called me a baby 😭

So for all my older women out there, when did you actually start taking dating seriously? Like when did relationships stop being just “fun” and start becoming something where you were actively thinking about marriage, family, kids, long term compatibility, etc? 🤔

Thx in advance for any and all responses/advice 😁
