Please be polite about preferences.

Yeah, it gets old fast seeing stuff like that.

Online dating can work, but you do have to have a thick skin about it as a short guy. You're gonna see a lot of profiles that, at best, espouse preferences for tall guys and at worst straight up insult short ones, while likely never seeing anyone say anything more positive than that they don't care about your height. You're also gonna get asked your height and immediately ghosted a lot, too, if you stick around long enough.

But you being 5'4" also won't make it impossible to get dates and for those dates to go well, either. It's a handicap and the frequency with which you will encounter negativity for being short can easily hurt your self-esteem, but if you can let it roll off you there's no reason it can't supplement IRL dating.

As always, it's just numbers game, but I completely understand getting tired of having your smallness criticized.
