I have two male cousins who are shorter than me (5’7” to my 5’10”), and they are both successful. One is an electrician who has built a house for himself, his wife and his four children. His wife is good-looking too. He was also a secondary school dropout, but then he decided to go back to college at the age of 30, graduated with a first class honours degree, and has a decent job. My other short and successful cousin is an accountant and he and his partner own a lovely four bedroom house in a lovely neighbourhood an hour outside of London. His partner is also a nice woman and they are both fun to hang out with. Being short can suck if you’re man, but it doesn’t have to suck if you’re willing to work smarter. But some short men and boys are not told this, or are not given proper guidance.

I think the point (which is evidenced by statistics albeit collected in an online environment) is that, if you're short, you need to be extra-masculine and extra-successful to be considered attractive to women. And in an online environment your masculine bearing is hard to communicate - before people were forced to communicate online a short guy could make up for it by being extra masculine in his demeanor.

Your other comment in this thread resonates with me in that, because I am short, I have had to develop a masculine bearing, and it may have also contributed to my financial success (although it probably matters less because I am a gay man). I have a friend, a gay guy who is 5'3", triple-black-belt, very masculine, and would be considered extra hot by most gay men (well, that was before middle age set in).

I think a lot of these online fem-boys are pussies because they are lazy, but even if they could become more manly they would still have a hard time communicating it on an online environment. Maybe that's why they give up? They could at least muscle up, that's easy to see in pictures.

Well done to you and your friend. I wouldn’t mind dating a shorter guy. Then again, I don’t think gay men care about height as much as straight women do. And yes, a lot of femboys wouldn’t be femboys if they spent more time socialising offline, but I can understand that it is hard for people with social anxiety.
