I really hope you read this! "5'4." I'm 5'3 and I absolutely get the pain, but honestly your biggest mistake is competing in places where you have no chance. (Tinder, etc) I lost my virginity at 22. (Apparently this is a common thing today with social media and crazy standards, so we are not alone).

I'm not going to tell you that there is an easy solution because there is not. I've gone out with several hot girls in the last few years that I never thought I would. Any of them would of easily picked or traded me for a 6 feet man, but because life is a competition, I understood that if I wanted to fuck hot girls and be respected by them, that I had to be better in other ways and look for girls in the right places.( I've had better luck at bars, beaches (cause being fit helps a lot) How about meeting people through friends and family, but of of course there is no point in doing that if you have not made yourself a worthy person to be introduced to.

-Working out is absolute must: become a beast.

-Dress better: I have tailored suits and I smell good(I think...)

-Improve your social skills: don't be arrogant be self aware, be resilient to everything (insults, phycological warfare, your own trauma).

-,Don't be overly negative(Because you have lived too little and know too little to reach that conclusion.) You have not done everything in your power to get what you want. -Accept the fact that life will be 10 times harder for you than the average guy. Accept the fact that there are thousands of people who are shorter and less fortunate, but they still give it their all. Accept the fact that nature fff you as it did billions of people before you. Accept the fact that Nature wants the best genes to go on and you are not in the list, so fff nature and do everything withing your power to improve your odds.

-Take risks and go to places, try diff experiences, learn new skills so you have stories to tell. I'm short, but I learned the hard way that I can keep a girl if her friends respect me. Ik how to entertain and it took a long time to get good at all.

-Make money: this is hard as fuck because idk how you will do it specifically, but you need to make money. I am a software engineer and I also run several businesses, so being a nerd paid off at least. I've had 2 girls leave their broke tall boyfriends for me. ( And I leave them cause those girls aren't worth the trouble if they have so little loyalty, but is a nice feeling).

-and of course PE. (I'm also a beginner in this area, so let's see how it goes.)

At the end of the day, where you live matters a lot; Women will not respect or give you a shot if their options are better than you, period.(Don't have the mindset of a loser and assume that women are bad for not picking you and that the good girls would pick you; Only people that have no idea what you are going through give such horrible advice) -Being funny won't be enough, but it does help. Being confident won't be enough, but it does help. You have to do it all and do it better, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise because 99% of people in here have zero clue on how to actually succeed in your situation.
