OP, I'm doing a second reply to provide a bit more information and encouragement.

1) women are terrible at estimating height, etc.

2) a lot of what women say is just bullshit posturing. Pay more attention to what they do.

Relevant links that illustrate this (be sure to read the comments sections):

Women's preference for height is much discussed on this site, and in the manosphere generally. Most of the time, the discussion TOTALLY misses the mark.

Any my opinion is often not deemed valid, because of I'm 6'3. Others will say 'you're lucky' because lots of women will smash just because you are tall (true). But think about it for a while - nobody would ever say to a woman, 'You're lucky that you have huge tits - because lots of men will smash you just because you have huge tits'.

That would be an outrageous thing to say in polite society, at a dinner table for example. But that is exactly what is being said when others say that tall men 'are lucky'. What is being said is that a man is 'lucky' if he can gain the approval of a shallow retarded woman. (because women who are 'height whores' are basically retarded).

The convo about women's demands for height never really get to the heart of the issue - the fact is that its not really about height - its about this;

Our societies / culture / civilisations have become entirely Gynocentric - men have fallen. We now expect men to live in the female gaze. We expect men to organise their lives (and bodies) for the pleasure of women. This is the issue, not height. I go to the gym and I see hundreds of men diligently working out to build muscle to gain the approval of women. Buying cars on finance that they think will impress women. Men on tanning beds, with teeth whitening.

Caring about what women thing of us is like cutting off your own dick.

The solution is to not live your life for the female gaze.

luck

It's not luck.

Don't sell yourself short. Own the shit you can't change and max out everything in your control.

If some hoe shit tests you about it, tell her you'll be the right size when she's on her knees.

I know plenty of shorter guys that do really well with women.

Height can be a problem if you want it to be. The biggest issues are usually self made. If you don't care, neither will women.

HEIGHTISM: THE ONE ISM FEMINISM IGNORES

Is height really important?

Where are the feminists’ outrage on heightism? Why aren’t the streets clogged by thousands of women wearing pussy hats demanding the end to this form discrimination? Why is it that feminist have absolutely no issue with demonstrating for equal pay, or against sexism or racism? But heightism? Not a word. HOW STRANGE THAT WOMEN, WHO ACTUALLY HAVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THIS FORM OF DISCRIMINATION, REMAIN SILENT ON IT AND DO NOTHING TO STOP IT, AND SOME ARE ACTUALLY VOCAL PROPONENTS OF IT.

Proof of this is easily found. All one needs to do is visit any online dating site and read women’s personal ads. Height requirements of men are listed openly and proudly so. No attempt to hide this discrimination what so ever. But if a man were to state his size preference of a woman’s breasts, hips or weight in his ad, it would be pulled from the site, immediately. This man would be lectured by women telling him that women of all sizes, shapes and colors are beautiful. How strange that women don’t apply that to men of all sizes, shapes and colors? A double standard without out a second thought. Why doesn’t a man who is 5’2” get the same respect from women as a man 6’2”? This from the sex that demands equal treatment at every opportunity.

Any woman who mocks, insults or demeans a man based upon his height, is as much responsible for imposing oppressive norms of toxic masculinity onto men as a man who does the same to other men. If toxic masculinity exists, it is imposed by society and society means people of all genders, not just men. This toxic oppressive gender norm is controlled 100% by women, for women have established the height standards for society, not men. BTW. Why isn’t this behavior by women considered bullying? Wouldn’t female bullying be defined as Toxic Femininity? Women are just fine with this mistreatment of men and their lack of words and actions show how hypercritical and shallow they are.

Edited February 10, 2022 Comments from another men. Heightism won’t stop until it affects women. No one is at fault for their own height, so stop the toxic femininity concerning height. An absolute requirement when it comes to height is the definition of stupid. Not only does it greatly reduce your dating pool, but it is an indicator of how shallow you are, where you are more concerned with optics than focusing on a relationship. Women are so quick to dismiss a guy when he's not as tall as she'd like, but not wanting a commitment doesn't seem to be a deal breaker if he is tall.

Updated 8/1/2022 Woman comment. Hint: if you are a short man who is not wanted by women, look elsewhere for your failure.

Yes. Blame the victim.
