Post subject:  Does height matter?
Hey im new to the forum (this is not an introduction just a brief background to why im here etc) and new to "the game" just started reading Style's book the game and after reading close to half of it in a day i was inspired to look further into forums and any other useful material. i know that pretty much as long as you have game your going to be alright with women and any other social interactions. I know that mystery is like 6"5 and hes known as one of the best PUA. My question is im like 6'7 - 6'8 and this only heightens the approach anxiety i have as i feel like i wont be a 'match' in their eyes being so tall. I read the newbie mission sticky and will give that a go whenever i get a chance, i only really stumbled upon most of this stuff over the last few days and havent really had an opportunity yet. I am by no means lanky which i see as a good thing? I have been with 3 women and kiss-closed around 15-20 so im not too inexperienced with women however a larger portion of these were when i was in high school, so slightly shorter and also when interaction was necessary or at least i interacted with women a lot more. My question is being so tall, is this an issue and are there any techniques to approaching that should be altered or just any general advice people would have for someone of my stature. Also im 19 and at uni so i feel that would be a great place to approach women however i feel that maby it is different in my situation being only 19 and game of this style wont work as well as just being the jock or leader.

Thanks a lot, even a small piece of feedback like that helps get it into my head that my height doesnt matter and it helps :)

I'm 6'4" and never really had problems with being too tall when it comes to pickup. I'd recommend sitting down with women if possible, so the height thing isn't an issue. Also, when kissing them, have them stand on stairs or a curb or ledge, and then you stand lower so it makes up for the height difference.

One thing I started doing recently is saying to women straight away "Wow, you're tall!" Especially if they are really short. You can use that as your opener. Try it sometime. I'm sure you're like me and you get people telling you that all the time, so it's funny when you beat them to the punch and tell them that first. You can even keep going with it, "So, I hear that women only like short guys. Is that true?"

Thanks that really helps, i always get wow your so tall although coincidentally i have tonnes of tall mates just out of luck so that does help to 'blend' in a way. I love the opener and the follow up really gives me something to start up with aswell. Could that be modified in anyway say at a party if a mate introduces me to a girl he allready knows and then like still in the meet and greet stage you could put that in i.e you both say hi shake hands etc then say something along those lines/ if you have any examples thatd be great, i was thinking like its nice to meet someone so tall, saying it to a shorter girl or something? Also in terms of the idea with the stairs or ledge how can you make that happen naturally or is there a way you can cause it to happen or bring it up in a funny way?

I've not really developed that tall thing into a sophisticated routine, it was just a random opener I used recently. Just brainstorming right now with some more material: You can get her name, then tell her wow, you are really tall. Is it true girls only like short guys? She'll then tell you that you ARE really tall. Then you can tell her you are much taller in heels. Ask her if she would be opposed to standing on stilts if the two of you end up dating. Then maybe tell her to speak up, the air is really thin up here. Look up some other tall/short jokes online and use those too. But don't belabor it.

Just look for opportunities to place yourself in areas where you can sit, or wait until you are on stairs or whatever to kiss her. Usually I go for the kiss after we leave wherever we went on our date and I'll walk the girl around and then go for the k-close. It's pretty easy to find a curb, ledge, or staircase to place her on and then kiss her. Btw, they REALLy like it when you do that. Girls love tall guys.

Thanks a bunch man this has really helped, im gonna test a few openers at the new years eve party im gonna be going to and before that just trying the newbie mission thats posted on here and see how it goes. Being really tall i can see it becoming part of a routine i may use cause its obviously going to play a huge part in the first impression someone gets of me.

I came onto the thread expecting the opposite problem (feeling to short). As a 5'8er I don't have much experience from your end. Good luck anyway.

P.S I have friends across the spectrum, the 4 that probably get laid the most are 5'5 5'7 6'2 6'5 so I can't spot any specific pattern.

Yer i've seen a few of my mates who are 6'6, 6'7 pick up girls and i always think maybe its not a big deal, i am taller than my friends only by a small amount and yet i still wonder how they do it. Im definitely going to try and put my awareness towards my height aside and just talk to women and see what happens.

I do have 2 questions about a party i was at last week this is a little off topic but anyway.

The first girl i was talking to and it was going pretty well, not going to go to in depth but we had something in common and she was like high five, yay for us or whatever. This was in a group of 3 and she was facing me, blah blah. Would this be taken as an IOI as she initiated contact? also looking back at it she kept finding me all night etc and kept glancing at me (feel like an idiot) But yer basically would that be an IOI?

The second one is i was with a few mates at this party and we had been there for around an hour, 2 girls arrived, who my mate knew and i was standing off having a conversation with different people, anyway my mate who has winged me a bunch of times, has a very forward approach when he does wing for me, for example he may just say hes gonna leave us to hook up or whatever and a lot of the time it does work. This is not actually a technique hes just like that, we have never talked about winging each other or anything. Anyway back to the point being the way he is, this girl asked who i was and he turns to me standing a few feet away taps me on the shoulder and introduces us. The thing is her simply saying like whos that? or something would be enough for my mate to bring me over, its not like she was hell intrigued and asked him to introduce us, would this still be an IOI?

However it is the first one im more interested in knowing about

GiantAus, both of those are ioi's mainly because if you think it might be an ioi, then it might as well be an ioi. Remember green means go, yellow means go, and red means go cautiously.

Radar01, some of those same suggestions work for short guys. Try to sit with them instead of stand. Try to find stairs and YOU stand on the upper stair and let them stand lower. As far as the jokes and stuff, I wouldn't necessarily try to draw attention to the fact that you are shorter than them.

I think i understand what your getting at, basically i should always be game on? Even by taking it as an IOI, with 3 being the minimum it doesn't matter all that much because you still have time for other IOI's to arrise before you take the chance.

LOL! I'm gonna have to use the "air is thin up here" line....ESPECIALLY because HB6 is such a quiet speaker....
