Many said they feared being &#8220;forever alone&#8221; because women just didn&#8217;t seem interested &#8211; and usually because of their stature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While they were often given advice by their taller friends to just &#8220;be confident&#8221;, research suggests that&#8217;s just not always the truth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/93wpva\/short-man-syndrome-dating\">Via VICE: <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>A\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/home.uchicago.edu\/~hortacsu\/onlinedating.pdf\">2006 study<\/a>\u00a0on online dating found that a man who is 5&#8217;6&#8221; needs an additional $175,000 to be as desirable as a man who is approximately 6&#8242; tall and only makes $62,500 a year.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do guys on the shorter end of the scale score better with women?
