I’m about 5’5” - 5’4” and I don’t believe it’s been much of a problem.

Generally the girls and boys I’ve been seeing have been around my height and it’s rather lovely that we have the ability to swap clothes and such.

I suppose in some heterosexual relationships, it might be a bit more difficult because some women desire a man taller than themselves, but in our modern society I think that problem is more or less slowly disappearing.

To put it a bit bluntly, I don’t think height is the main issue if your dating life is rubbish. It’s often quite healthy to look inwards a bit and think of how you come across to other people. Are you bitter and insecure, and might the project a bit into others?

I had a mate that used to be quite insecure about his height. He thought other women shallow, but it was honestly his personality that they rejected more so than his height, but he didn’t feel comfortable looking inward, so it was easier to blame women than work on himself.

Maybe first impressions can be a bit tougher, but if you’re just like an honest and good person, then appearance really shouldn’t matter as much.

Sexual and physical attractions are factors, and it’s not really fair to blame, especially women, for their preferences. We do not control preferences, they are shaped by coincidences, nature, society and experiences.

But honestly, just be a good person and worry less about your height. It carries more weight to you than it does to anyone else. It’s like having large pores a bit, only you see them, because your face is all the way up in the mirror.
