Is there a stigma against Short men?

I am 5'6 and now that I'm older I am getting more dates, but when I was in school college and HS I never got propositioned for dates. I think my height has a lot to do with it. I was always friend-zoned because of that. I see a lot of girls who would never date a guy who is my height simply because I am short. No other reason. Nothing I can work on to change.

I've been height-shamed a number of times and probably overlooked and let go because of my height. Online dating is even worse. I've been bullied about my height (telling the truth ya know that quality they say is so important) and laughed at for even messaging women who were taller than me. I can match the qualities this girl is looking for 100% but she wants a guy who is 6 feet or taller? Is that realistic? That actually cuts out most of the men on the planet.

I'd like to discuss the topic about short men and dating, not particularly my experiences. I was just highlighting them so as you can see what we short men have to put up with :)

I'm 5'8". I'da dated you in high school for sure... As long as we didn't discuss politics. ;) All the 6' guys were dating girls 2"6" tall.

When you're nose to nose your toe's is in it and when toe to toe your nose is in it.

I actually was never really bothered by it until the online dating stuff, but that tends to be my best arena. Since I don't go clubbing.

Women have extremely unrealistic standards with online dating, so I wouldn't go by that.

I have a friend who is 5'7, and consistently dates attractive women. He is admittedly very good looking facially though.
