If you are stupid short than of course it's a problem
but this narrative that dudes being less than 6ft in the dating realm is that much of a disadvantage is a crock of shit. If you are 5'8(for instance) you are only not appealing to a very small demographic of women and that's also the reality of the situation. Girls don't like tall guys, they like guys taller than themselves.
Well math tells me that it also works the other way in areas that the avg height is taller. We all must remember that certain people bring the average way down. If you take Mexicans out of the mix, California is actually a pretty tall state. I would say 5’8 is right at that line where you are losing options...if women want men taller than them, then 36% you lose on. Take the Mexican factor out and that is closer to 40%. That’s not a small number.
