I’m a 5’8 man and get criticized by my height by women 5’4 and under. Women that are 4’10 to 5’4 tell me im not tall enough even though I’m much taller than them. They even say “youre only 5’8, thats really not much. Im looking for tall guys, they have good height, sorry.” They tell me that they’re looking for more masculine looking tall men and tell me that I’ll have a hard time finding a woman due to my height. I asked them if being a guy that isn’t tall is really a bad thing and they said it is.

Anyone who is shallow enough to dismiss a person based on height isn’t worth your time. It would be the equivalent of a man saying he only dates 18 year olds.
5’8” isn’t really that short honestly. Did this actually happen? It seems really harsh.
People be mean
I’m 5’4 woman, and my partner is a 5’8 man. He may not be tall but he’s not that short either. I know some shorter woman though who want 6’0+ guy though, they’re usually want their future kids taller for those that want kids. It’s insecurities, don’t ask woman about your height being bad that’ll just make you less confident in something you can’t change. You probably need to not focus on other aspects of yourself for attraction, ignore the ones that are looking for something else.
As a woman that is 4’9 and my bf who is 5’6, I wouldn’t trade him for anything. It wouldn’t even bother me if he was 5 feet, to me it’s his heart. There are women out there who share similar mindset! Please don’t let these couple of women you’ve met, impact how you think about most petite women. My friends are also petite like me and do not care if a man is below 6 feet! Best of luck fellow redditors!
Edit: In addition, my bf isn’t muscular, he’s average weight! As long as he’s healthy and happy is all I care about.
