Here's some perspective that might help guys who feel like they're struggling due to their height.
One common habit I've noticed is people tend to take their biggest insecurity and make it their whole world. I'm 6'1" and I'm losing my hair. Being bald will probably make me look worse, and hey, that sucks, but I'll get over it; there are bigger problems to have in the world. But I went to some balding forums and saw people talking about how balding made them absolutely undesirable, ruined their lives and led them to severe depression. That's how much these things can get to you, and you have my sympathy.
It's funny to think that a bald tall guy could meet a short guy with hair, and their thoughts would go like this:
Short guy: "I'd be so successful at dating, if only I had his height"
Bald guy: "I'd be so successful at dating, if only I had a full head of hair like him"
The truth is, both of them will continue to struggle, because they both focus on their weaknesses rather than playing to their strengths.
You bring so much to the table you don't even realize because you're fixated on this one issue. There are girls who love short guys. You'll say statistics show short guys struggle more. So do bald guys. So do shy guys. So do overweight guys, skinny guys, guys with acne, guys with depression… most of us have something that hurts our chances. It's all about shifting our perspective to focusing on what's helping our chances.
