I'm sorry but it sounds like you interact with the WRONG men so you only know how THEY are. You attract what you emit. You're a negative person. Guys don't like that and a lot of guys pick up on your weaknesses and will act like they're 9 yrs old. Start conducting yourself in a positive, confident manner. The problem here is that you expect or want too much. You have too many expectations set and you will only date the "perfect guy". Well, we all have someone perfect for us individually and most of the time they are never what we preconceived in our minds. If I waited for the guy who met every criteria on my list of "wants" I'd still be single. Unfortunately sometimes you have to overlook certain things physically. When men aren't banging down your door, you have to stop being so picky. I'm not saying you should be desperate and go out with just anyone but if you persist that the guy MUST be minimum 6 feet tall and the only guys around are 5'8" or 5'5" then you might be passing up a really great guy. Sometimes you sound pretty shallow, to be honest. You don't like it when guys won't look at you or approach you but you're doing the very same thing.

Men are very visual creatures and they are going to notice the most attractive women first while overlooking the more average looking girls...but there has to be something we can do to pop out more if our looks are not our strongest advantage...
Ugh, I'll bite.

You can stand out by not being whiny, full of self-pity and saturated with self-condescension towards those you are not attracted to.

That help?

But... since you want a 'genuine' response, here's mine: If you want men to 'think outside the box' and consider 'average' women such as yourself then it's fair play for YOU to 'think outside the box' as well... and you know damn well what I am saying.
think outside the box and consider what??

My standards are not ridiculous. I prefer a guy who is 5'9+. I don't do short men. I dated one in the past and will never go that route again.

Meant to write self-condescension, but I was too focused on the water that was on the outside of my cold can of Red Bull, hence why I wrote it like that.

True story.

So... You will never date short men - and that's okay. But men not wanting to date you for purely aesthetical reasons is not okay?
