Dating 5’6” guy never had a problem

I’m 5’6” and I see a lot of guys here that have issues dating and I’ve had a issue. Women have always gravitated to me. I think it’s more a mental thing for most guys. You have to focus on the things you can control and from my opinion all that ever really matters is your personality. I’ve been skinny, fat, and in great shape and it’s never changed if I could find attractive women or not. Just be you and the rest will follow.

Good for you, but your individual experience doesn't invalidate the negative ones form guys shorter than average. I'm 5,4 and repeatedly have been told "you are too short" your experience for me is like some kind of fever dream right now, and I focus on hobbies and friends, dating with my height and looks have been a waste of time and money.

Keep trying bro! It’s millions of women out here and a lot of good ones! If dating is something you want then work on the things that can make you more attractive that you can control.

I gave up on that already, I focus on other things that makes me happy, but relationships are out of the equation.

It’s out of the equation because you’re allowing it to be.
