Ever heard of the Napoleon complex? Even if you have not, it may apply to you if you are a less-than-tall man. Not being tall is right up there with being bald for most men when it comes to being insecure with the ladies.

"Relax, there are many practical ways to look taller and boost your self confidence. While men can not change their height, they can employ strategies to appear taller." advises Ashok, an expert on East Indian Dating.

Clothes make the man

• Wearing darker colors creates a taller appearance
• Avoid sharp contrasts in your shirts and pants
• Do not wear horizontal or checkered prints
• Do wear vertical or striped prints
• Use shoulder pads under suit coats
• Thicker soled shoes can increase your height by an inch or two
• Make sure your clothes are not baggy, especially at the waist
• Match your pants, belt and shoes to give a taller look
• Pant legs should not have cuffs

Mind your posture

• Stand up straight
• Throw your shoulders out with your chest up
• Never slouch when you sit

"The old saying that dynamite comes in small packages holds true today. Ever see a gorgeous woman on the arm of a short guy like you? He probably has something you are missing and it is not money. He is confident and has not defined himself by his height. Give some thought to your good qualities that have nothing to do with height." advises Sheila, an expert on Indian dating do's and don'ts.

Certainly you should give the pointers listed above a try but why not think outside the box? Have you considered exploring dating within a culture that has an average height for women at 5 feet? Oh these hot shorter women do exist and are abundant in Asian cultures.
