The #1 Looksmax men aren't taking advantage of...
The Importance of Your Looks
Before you even approach a girl the outcome of the interaction is largely predetermined. Assuming they’re single and Sexually Available(a concept I’ll talk about in a future article) they’ll know whether they’re willing to hook-up with you before you say one word.
A study by James Hwang and Lucas Cadalzo was done in 2016 in which they monitored the speed-dating results of dozens of candidates. Despite women saying the attractiveness of men was not very important the results of the speed dating event said other wise.

Attractiveness was not only the most important factor but actually by far the the most important factor. The attractiveness score of a man had a correlation co-efficient with a positive response to the interaction of 0.795. The R² value being 63%. Meaning the attractiveness of a man is on average responsible for 63% of the variance in how an interaction will go(assuming both parties are single and sexually available). Basically, looks are very important.

Women largely understate the role of attractiveness in surveys
The 3 Pillars of Your Looks
Whether girls think you’re attractive or not will come down to 3 attributes.
Facial Aesthetics
Height
Physique
When you approach a girl, before the first words come out of your mouth, you're judged on these 3 traits. Seemingly the most unchangeable of which is your height.
You can grow a beard for you face, lose fat and put on muscle for your body, but there’s no gym for your height.
There is one thing that hasn’t quite hit the meta for men in the dating game yet though. Height boosting shoes. Shoes like Airforce 1s(1.2” of lift) have become popular over the last few years, partially for this reason, but overall, the vast majority of men aren’t utilizing this aspect of style to it’s maximum potential yet(I still see a large percentage of men walking around in converses).
Every Inch Makes a Difference
You may be thinking - what kind of difference can taller shoes actually make?
The Answer - A LOT.

Above is a chart that looks at what percentage of women will reject a man at each height based on his height.
Notable Jumps
5’4” - 10% will accept a man of this stature
5’6” - 25%
5’8” - 52%
5’10” - 88%
6’ - 98%
As you can see if your below 6’ every additional inch of height can make an enormous difference in the amount of successful interactions you’ll have with women. Here’s a chart showing the multipliers for your success by gaining an addition 2 inches at each height.

Just to make it clear depending on your height you may literally double the amount of women who are attracted you overnight just by ordering unnoticeable everyday regular shoes with more lift to them.
I’m Sold. Which Ones Should I Get?
The height of the shoes you should get.
In my opinion, the height of the shoes you get will depend on the tier of height you’re in and the situation you’re in.
Height Tiers:
Tall - 6ft+
Not Tall - <6ft
Situations:
Sexually Competitive - Clubs, Bars, Parties, Speed Dating Events, Tinder
Sexually Uncompetitive - Grocery Store, Class, The Office, Coffee Shop
The difference between a sexually competitive and uncompetitive environment is simple. If the primary objective of the majority of people in the environment is to meet people for sexual/romantic purposes, it is sexually competitive. If the primary objective of the majority of people in the environment is anything else, financial gain, getting groceries, learning about math, etc. it is sexually uncompetitive.
In sexually competitive environments the rules change. Everyone is doing their best to look their best so you need to stand out more to succeed sexually. This means in sexually competitive environments I’m going to recommend taller shoes.
If you’re already tall you don’t need any extra height but it may be helpful so I recommend regular shoes that just have some height to them in uncompetitive environments, around 1”-1.5”. In competitive environments, I still recommend upping the anti as the goal is to stand out, so push it to 2”-2.5”.
If you aren’t tall the extra height will make a significant difference even in uncompetitive environments so I recommend 1.5”-2” of lift . In competitive environments, I recommend anything from 2.5”-3”.
1”-2” of height difference when someone takes their shoes off is seen as super normal and won’t draw any attention even to the sober eye. 3” plus certainly can, shoes that tall are also not very comfortable, and so I recommend keeping shoes of that height to sexually competitive environments only. Competitive environments are so competitive I do think the advantage of the extra inch is worth having.
Specific Shoe Recommendations
There’s 3 different shoe options a guy needs.
Casual
Formal
Boots
My recommendations for each…
Casual

Nike Air Force 1 - 1.2”

Nike Air Max 95 - 1.5”

Addidas ZX 22 Boost - 1.6”
Formal

Allen Edmonds Park Avenue Cap-Toe Oxford - 1.1”

Chamaripa Black Leather Derby Shoes - 2”

GUIDOMAGGI Edmonton - 2.4”-3.1”
Boots

Timberland Earth Keepers - 1.5”

Thursday Boots Captain - 1.5”

Dr. Martens Jadon Boot Smooth Leather Platforms - 1.8”
Height Boosting Insoles
As you could probably tell above there aren’t really any good options for casual shoes/boots in the 2”-3” inch range that still look like stylish wearable options. For this reason, I recommend adding a height-boosting insole to the shoes already on the taller end.
My friend owns these and he says they work great for occasions such as bars and house parties which are the situations you’ll likely wear them.

Upon measuring after sinking into them you get approximately 0.75” of additional height from the 2.5cm(1”) model linked, on top of whatever shoe you place them ins natural height.

Conclusion
Height plays a large factor in dating, yet men rarely take it into account when deciding which shoes to purchase. There are plenty of stylish, comfortable options that also give you an extra inch that you may as well get. Depending on your height, if acted upon, the information in this article could potentially double your current dating life so, I’d highly recommend taking advantage of the lowest-hanging fruit in the dating game right now.
Women get push-up bras you might as well wear tall shoes.
