39m, 5’-10”, 250 lbs. My ex destroyed my confidence. What can I improve?

I wish it were that simple. It’s hard to meet single women at this age and I didn’t do too well on the dating apps either. Ran out of women in my age bracket, 30 to 42, that I was interested in within a month. Most women either turned me down immediately or never replied (especially the most attractive ones), I think maybe due to height requirements. For some reason every woman wants a 6 ft guy. I even saw a 4’-11” bitch with a profile that said “Must be 6’-0” to ride.”

On a tangent, what the fuck is up with 5’ nothing bitches wanting 6 feet of man? I mean damn it, she could wear 8”+ heels with me or even more if I’m wearing dress shoes with a heel. Damn Karens. I mean shit, I can understand preferences, but that just seems so arbitrary and ridiculous.

Anyway, of the ones that did reply they were roughly 7 to 8 on my scale, which is ok with a decent personality imo. I got 12 matches across 3 dating apps (Tinder, bumble, and POF), had 7 dates, 6 women were either significantly more emotionally f’d up than I am or catfished the fuck out of their pictures. Dated 1 for a few dates, but didn’t hit it off. Now I’m here, alone, thinking about hitting on single moms at target and my daughter’s softball park.
