My brother is 5'8 (he's 38yr old). His wife is the same height as him. His height never bothered him as we are all on the short side on my mon's side of the family. I have an uncle that's 5'6 and my grandfather was the same. Our mother is 4'10.
5'8 is a good height. Don't let if bother you. If you have confidence people will notice that before they notice your height.
To men height defines our masculinity just as a women's hair often defines many females feminity. Being a short man is like being a women who's balding and can't grow long hair
Height is everything. Without it, you can never truly universially win the respect of your fellow man and many women will treat you like you're subhuman. It is what it is. But it's not something to just be shrugged off like some females are suggesting. If a women couldn't grow long hair, she wouldn't just shrug it off.
Many women have a romantic interest in tall guys. I have found that I'm one of the few that actually prefer shorter guys but that doesn't mean that no one will hang out with you or even that you won't ever find a woman that won't care.
Many successful musicians/actors are around your range of height so I think you're an okay height. That is actually average or close to it. People don't generally even pay attention to their height because they focus on their art.
If you have something else to offer (whether it is music poetry or technological prowess...whatever you're good at) the right woman won't care and will focus on what she has in common with you. If you're talking about something other than dating though, you have even less to worry about.
I still consider myself a kid also JacksonBradu (Although the world sucks now compared to the 80s and earlier)
Nothing @ all wrong with it either
Same here. I am pushing 50 but don't think I've mentally changed that much since I was in my mid-20s. I'm definitely not all adult and serious. More responsible, sure. But I kind of feel like I stopped "aging" mentally when I hit 30. Hope this never changes.

Are you for real? Dude, it's not your height holding you back. You need to get some professional help. Your world view is really out of whack.
I don't think women treat these dudes like they are subhuman;
Cee Lo Green/Lil Wayne...5'6"
Ton Cruise...5'7"
Ryan Seacrest...5'8"
Hugh Hefner...5'9"
Conner McGregor, the best pound for pound fighter in the world of MMA, is 5'9". I guarantee you that any guy who doesn't show him respect will regret it.
You really need to get a grip. You are not ready to face the world if this is such a problem for you.
Start going to a gym, working on your food choices, get a GOOD haircut and GOOD wardrobe and keep it clean and neat, make sure you look like you CARE about your appearance every day, develop some skills and accomplishments that give you some self worth.
Boost your own confidence and/or bank account and you'll have a bevy of women to choose from LOL.
It's HILARIOUS that you say women can't give you INPUT since it's WOMEN you're complaining about attracting.
-- he was conceited and I believe it's because women did pursue him, rather than the other way around. He felt he didn't have to try. The shorter men had better personalities, were better dancers, treated me better, and the ones who dressed nicely and took care of their appearance were always more attractive to me. It also depended on their self-confidence, as long as it didn't extend into arrogance.
When I turned 18, I knew I was an adult but I still had a difficult time accepting it because I didn't feel like an adult because of my short stature. A few years later I still don't. I have a baby face. Im short. I go out in public with my father and he still towers over me just as he did when I was in junior high
I'm 5'8/5'9. Could be worse but can't help but feel inadequate when standing near or next to men taller than me (most men)
When I was a kid, I pictured myself being 6'2 and as tall as or taller than most men. Fast forward to actual adulthood and there are high schoolers who are taller than me
Seek professional guidance, it is not your height that is holding you back.
