Honestly short guys can still date, and in fact if a girl had the audacity to make your height a big deal then she probably shallow af, someone who genuinely likes you will look past those things and sometimes even ignore their preferences because they like you!

My gf didn’t feel comfortable at first dating a guy that was younger (we’re only 3 years apart) because she preferred guys that were older. Eventually tho she was able to look past the age gap because she likes who I am as a person. On top of that I’m not even fit, I’m basically slender man

Same for short dudes, the right girl will be able to look past that stuff and just like you for you.
