People in this thread are saying "just be confident" and "just have confidence". It's really not that simple, especially when appearance does matter and there is something that might be affecting the OP's confidence like height. That is something that can affect your confidence.

I'm 5'7 and I've done okay, but I'd be lying if I said that the factor of height doesn't come into my mind now and again.

Also, there have been a number of studies that have shown that dating sites are all but a waste of time if you aren't a certain height if you're male.

Well honestly, I think it really comes down to what you're looking for. If you're just in it for a hook-up then yeah, you're going to deal with a lot of superficial women. If it makes you feel better, women go through the same struggle.

I've heard this on another forum. That women for hookups only want to f*** the most attractive men regardless of their qualities as a person. So they look for the "tall, dark, handsome" bs that women always say. And disregard everyone else for the most part. While for guys, they get the best they can get with for hook-ups. A lot have sex with unattractive women just because that's their only options for hook-up sex.

I'm 5'8'' and my ex made a crack about how she wished I was taller about two weeks before she dumped me. She sucked.
