Hi , Im standing tall at 164cm , and at 80kg ( meaty )
no issue in "ëngaging" conversation , what i mean by that is the opposite sex are responsive to me face to face. i can make friends with the opposite sex quite easily.
first you need to be confident in yourself , do not sulk.
about ghosting in dating app... well that's dating app world for you.
coz they have nothing to loose , and the selection is a lot and purely by picture. ( are you telling me you only swipe girls who are as tall as you or shorter ) again, confidence.
don't make it as a "curse" please.
about girls not looking/looking down at shorter guys , no such thing.
there are people who are born different ( dwarfism ), if you think you are having a hard time , wouldn't it be worse for them??.
it is all about your attitude and confidence.
as for appearance , just try to be neat, and have a bit of nice class/character.
i can see you are quite negative in this. may be you are vibing negative vibe. that is no good. be a person who gives off positive vibe , girls attracted to that sh*t. cheerful and fun
focus on your plus points not negative , try to control what you can . and let the things that cannot be controlled as they are.
cheerz mate.
