5'7". I'm short. Like many short guys, I've been shot down by women. I've actually been told "you're perfect, but I need to be with someone I can feel comfortable wearing heels around". Twice. So the question is, does it get better?
Well, dating itself gets better over 30. I tend to think after 40 is the best time to date, as a man. In that regard, the height thing doesn't matter as much. Part of it is that you don't take it personally as you get older and become comfortable with who you are. People have the right to like who they like. There are all sorts of physical traits that I wouldn't find desirable in a person I was dating, and that's fine. Likewise, it's fine when women feel the same way about height.
Once you're over 40 it seems that the dating script gets somewhat flipped. I now find myself the one people are buying drinks for. I'm now more chased than than the one doing the chasing. There's more than enough options for me today to make me not worried in the least about those who don't find me attractive.
Part of it is confidence, I suppose. If you've made it this far, there isn't much that can put a dent in that. I know my assets. I'm a charming bastard on a date. I'm a damn good lover. These sorts of things give me the swagger that people pick up on. I'm happy with my life, and that shows as well.
End of the day, stop giving a damn about what other people might think of you. Work on finding your own bit of happiness in this world, and everything else will follow. Life gets better.
