How being just 5cm taller Changed My Dating Life

How being just 5cm taller Changed My Dating Life

 

Let me start with the obvious:
I’m not short.
I’m “average.”

You know... the kind of height where:

  • You’re never in the back row of a photo

  • Girls look over your shoulder at their taller friend

  • And if you say “I’m 5’9”,” they go “...are you sure?”

Let’s be real. No one writes “5'9”” in their dating profile unless they want to be ghosted mid-swipe.

I didn’t want to lie.
I didn’t want to get surgery.
And I definitely didn’t want to wear some clunky platform shoes like I’m auditioning for Dancing on Ice.

So I tried something subtle.
HeightSole™.

Day 1: The Silent Boost

First time wearing them? I stood up and literally said “no f***ing way” out loud.

It wasn’t just taller — it was posture, it was presence, it was finally looking eye-to-eye with the guys who always got served first at the bar.

And no one noticed.
Which is exactly the point.

Day 3: The Lifted Life Begins

I met some friends for drinks.
One of them (5’11", smug jawline, gym bro) actually looked slightly confused when I greeted him.

👀 “You look… good, bro. Like, taller?”

Me: “Been drinking more water.” 💅

Later that night, a girl at the bar turned around and gave me one of those “you’re hot but I won’t say it yet” smiles.

Usually, that smile goes to someone 2 inches above me.
This time, I was in the game.

Week 2: Tinder Gets... Interesting

I updated my Hinge height to 5’11”. Sue me.
I’m not here to catfish — I’m here to compete.

Suddenly:

  • Matches doubled

  • No more “lol how tall are you though”

  • One girl literally DMed:

    “Love tall energy. Let’s get a drink.”

Tall.
Energy.

I wasn’t even lying. I felt taller — and not just in my shoes.

Week 4: “Something’s Different About You”

This was the real kicker.

A girl I’d matched with a month earlier (pre-HeightSole) finally agreed to meet up.
She walked in, gave me a once-over, smiled, and said:

“You look better in person. Taller, too.”

Me:

“Maybe it’s the confidence.” 😏

She laughed.
I laughed.
The bartender brought me the bill without asking who was paying (which has never happened before).

The Takeaway? It's Not About Being 6’4”

It’s about showing up like you belong.
Feeling taller means:

  • You speak up more

  • You carry yourself differently

  • People treat you better without knowing why

This isn’t a magic trick.
It’s just playing the game with a better character skin.

And the craziest part?
It’s only 5cm.

TL;DR?

HeightSole didn’t just make me taller.
It made me feel more like the guy I always thought I was.

And if a 5cm insole can give you that edge —
quietly, comfortably, invisibly — why not take it?

Try HeightSole™.
Not for her. Not for them.
For the slightly-taller, slightly-better version of you waiting to show up.
