Should short guys even bother putting their height on online dating profiles? It just seems like a lose-lose situation.
Not doing it would be the male equivalent of fat girl angles
Yes
But make sure you are awesome and confident
Don't make it a big deal just a fact of life like : I have green eyes. I have black hair. I am short. K!
Why short people should be on online dating sites?
It's like a cow going to a butcher on her own.

Ya'll are just letting the "fuckin 6' at the very least meme" get ya.

What do guys see as short? I'm 5.3 and the last guy I liked was about 5.6 or 5.7 (I mean, I didn't measure him so I'm not sure), height really doesn't matter anyway.

I'm a short girl who wouldn't mind dating a short guy, but I'd like to know a guy's height before I met up with him.

There are two ways of looking at this:
1. You're wasting everyone's time if you end up meeting women who simply won't be in a relationship with a short person.
2. A woman who would ordinarily not meet someone short might meet you, discover you're an awesome person, and want to have a relationship with you.
So basically you're going to face a lot more in-person rejection and be wasting more time, but the potential to meet more people means you may have a higher chance of getting in a relationship.
So it would seem that if you have the time and rejection doesn't bother you, not letting people know you're short would be the better choice.
However, there's an opportunity cost involved here. I prefer to give woman a lot of information about me up front so that she can evaluate what I know to be potential "dealbreakers" and decide if it's something she's willing to accept. I want to focus on people I think have a lot of potential, not spread my focus out over a bunch of people who I don't think have much potential.
Short and confident vs short and self conscious..... Hmmm....
If just lying to girls and never meeting them takes your fancy, then go ahead and omit it.

I mean, this is what everyone says. but it sure seems to me like a lot of girls filter me ou based on my height.
On top of that, there's also the assumption that you're 'exaggerating' your height by two inches, so if I don't say that I'm 5'7 then girls assume I'm 5'3.

It's probably something else.

Well I've tested this. My response rate goes up by 80% when I increase the height on my profile by 5 inches.
Further, when I change the height on my profile I've noticed that women that I've never even seen before start showing up in my feed, whereas when I list my actual height I start to get repeats fairly quickly.

How do you know it's your height and not something else? Unless they literally tell you "you're too short", you can't assume anything, and you're a retard if you do

Stop living in the fantasy world, when girls say "if you're under 6'0 swipe left" they want to be fucked by the tallest guys. They don't care about confidence.
