Hi,

I posted here awhile ago, but I'm back now. I guess I'm looking for some reassurance that I can be desirable, even though I'm really lacking in height. I've never been in a relationship and am in my last year of college. I would feel more hopeful if it wasn't likely because of something that is immutable. This one immutable characteristic of myself, my height. It is a bit frustrating that it's the most important in women's eyes, but it is what it is. I suppose you can't control what you find undesirable. I don't really have any physical preferences myself in who I'm looking for, I'm open to dating people of all different body types and backgrounds as long as they are my age, but my height just gets in the way of that. I wish height wasn't one of the main physical traits women look for in a man but it is. I just wish I wasn't shamed for my body type, like I am made to feel as less of a man. Every girl I've talked to has asked me my height.

It just is frustrating that this one characteristic defines all of my attractiveness. How is a short guy such as myself supposed to compete with a tall attractive type that is considered universally appealing?

I would like to know if it is possible for me to ever get into a relationship, and if so how can I get there.
