I tried many dating site over the years and the one thing that stood out is if you're under 6 feet tall don't even bother creating an account.

Sorry, you're lying to yourself if you think your height is the issue.

  If I put 6 feet tall on the dating site wit all the same info there was a dramatic increase in interest. Disappointing but no surprise. I'm fine with my height but it seems dating sites are not the place for normal people.

  That's within the margin of error of 6ft.

It really makes me feel sad you've had this experience I hope you change your mind. I am a fellow short man so I have experienced rejection because of height among other lame reasons. I'm not conventionally good looking either. But this type of mentality is negative and detrimental to your success as well as the success of other men in the same position. Your looks absolutely matter and to say otherwise is disingenuous. But to say you shouldn't try at all because of height is ridiculous. I found my wife through a dating App after having used dating apps off and on for a few years. I also tried conventional dating in person. Did I receive less attention than my more attractive Male peers? Yes absolutely, but I accept it and instead focus my efforts on the variables in my control. Physical fitness, attitude, and having life goals I work towards everyday. I can't beat most guys in looks or charm so I focused on persistence more than anything else. I recognize that can sound nebulous, but it really works over the long run. I hope I don't come off as condescending these types of comments just really strike a nerve with me. I wish you success in your personal life if you haven't found it already.

  Thanks for the comments but I'm good I've never had a problem with my height except on dating sites. It seems the women who use the sites also ignore anyone below 6 feet. I actually tested that and it was sad to see the results. It's that magic "6 foot" number it seems women want. I'm not talking 5 feet or 5'6" even 5'11 3/4 seems to be too short. I guess dating sites are irrational it's like shopping for perfection not reality.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm over 6'1" and I still shouldn't have bothered creating an account.
