OP, no one here will give you a straight answer...because most posters on CD aren't short men. The truth is it is a significant handicap in regards to dating to be a short guy. Many women are willing to look past most flaws except height and to a lesser extent ethnicity. Are there outliers? Of course. The question you have to ask yourself is how much are you willing to do to be the rare outlier that is successful in dating and relationships.
A lot of people have dating handicaps. They can range from actual handicaps, to being the wrong height, having physical deformities etc etc.
You get over it and move on, and if you can't find anyone who wants to be with you then you remain single.

I agree. But the question I think most (not excluding myself) deal with is when to throw in the towel. Trying to socialize romantically takes a lot out of you and if you realize no one wants to be with you because of certain flaws, you start having to decide whether this will always be the case or whether it's best to call it quits. And somewhere in between we all probably will complain about it

I can definitely agree with that. I tried for many years to improve myself and become what I thought was a good partner...but was constantly rejected for physical things I had no control over. I became so disgusted with the whole process that I just threw in the towel altogether.
I am seeing someone now, but it's only a matter of time until I have to tell him about my medical disorders and until he sees my scars up close. Then, he'll suddenly become really busy and fade away, just like all the other ones. It's almost a cliche in my life at this point...but if this doesn't work out for my, my towel is officially thrown in and I plan on devoting all of my time to grad school and traveling.

Has anyone ever seen ShortDoctor and AStalkingButler in the same room at the same time?
