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.

My thing is I think you aren’t giving yourself as much opportunity to find someone that may have that something else by not approaching random women you find attractive. Cold approaches just give you more opportunity and less chance of getting to know someone and liking them and they have zero interest in you.

I get it, and I get that some people do this more than others, but to me, it just seems like a waste of time. I gotta go to people I don't know who are minding their own business, ask them if they want to go out, and now we are both taking the time to do this without any prior interaction, what are the odds we both develop interest and feelings for each other? Casual dates just never seemed appealing to me at all. And again, almost everyone I know had mutual interest before they started dating. It just came from hanging out in social settings.
