I’m a short man, standing only at 5’6. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m insecure about it. I feel like it’s looked down upon to be a short man. Women generally want a tall man. I can’t provide that. Any advice on how to be more confident?
I’m small and always preferred small men. I don’t need to be overpowered.

I recommend affirmations for your insecurities.
Say them in the mirror with confidence,
It sounds silly at first but they really helped me with my self esteem.
Also, some women are really into shorter guys.
My sister is and she’s 6’1" herself.
I dated a guy that was three inches shorter than me and a man that was maybe my same height.
Not all of us just want a tall guy, that’s just the stereotype.

Yeah I’m considered short as well @TheCanuk.
I know what you mean but I had my share of girlfriends when I was younger.
Height isn’t everything.

Being short,average or tall based on current data is an ever moving thing . We’ve gradually got taller and taller . I think the best way to judge such things is how you compared to other people height wise when you reached adulthood .

I say don’t care too much about it. If you’re tall enough to open a door your possibilities are endless.

I love a small feller. My husband was only 5’ 3". I’m 5’ 2". We fit together perfectly. 5’ 6" is tall compared to some men. You really shouldn’t feel insecure about anything because someone out there is waiting to love you just the way you are. The trick is getting out there to find her and being your genuine self so she can see who you really are.

I’m 5’11.5" . My wife was 5’1"
I’m 5’10", and I used to be insecure about my height because I towered over so many women. I wouldn’t wear heels or anything until I started working as a financial analyst and gained some confidence. Then, I rocked those heels!
My husband is my height, but if I wasn’t married, I wouldn’t mind dating a shorter man. Height means nothing to me. It’s all about personality.

I’m 5ft 6 as well. It matters not!
I have slept with some hot women. My brother is 5ft 5 and he has a model wife who is very tall.
Not all women want a tall man, and if you find a woman who is concerned about height then tell her that the male children will all be taller than the mother. It is a genetic quirk, the father’s height doesn’t matter, the mother’s does.
Attraction is a matter of preference, and there is nothing you can do about someone else’s preference.
Acceptance of yourself is more important, then you become more attractive automatically.
If you feel belittled by other men, then learn jiu jitsu which is the right martial art to learn for small people.

I do an experiment from time to time, my boots have 4 inch platforms on them, making me 6’2’’. The only thing it changes being that tall are my own insecurities.
No one treated me differently, I didn’t suddenly have people flocking to me, fawning over my height.
The thing that really won out over the height, was confidence. When I’m able to be confident in myself, that’s when people are more attracted to me.
I had to come to terms of being satisfied with the quality of my body, not the size.
If you want think of it this way: you’re quicker, probably more agile, can use people’s prejudices against them by showing worth over “being tall” through outsmarting the “stupid giants” (ex used to call people this, she was about 5 foot even). Body requires less resources, so that’s extra money you save.
There are benefits to being shorter, just got to be open to seeing them.
Wishing you well!
