I've spent countless hours in the gym over the passed decade, and have a decent body. I'm not a body builder or a model, but I definitely separate myself from the usual randos.

But at 5'7-5'8, it seems like no matter how good my body looks, or how nice my hair looks, or whatever else, girls act like I'm not even in the room when there's dudes that are only a few inches taller than me. It doesn't matter if the other dude looks like a slob who's never moved a weight in his life or eats pizza and beer every day, they will congregate to him if he's taller than me, every time.

I've worked on everything I can from approaching, to actual conversation, escalating, nothing seems like it matters. All they see is a manlet just because I'm a few inches shorter than average. I'm close to just throwing away my gym membership and not giving a shit anymore. Are there any short guys like me who find success?
