Workout! And hard, since you are shorter you will be able to look more Brolic faster. To be honest some girls don't like shorter guys so maybe try short girls first.

Stop thinking about it. The problem exist because you think its a problem.

What do you mean overcome? There's nothing to overcome. You just don't make a big deal about it. My roommate is 5'6" and girls love him. I think Neil Strauss is around your height too. If you don't want to date a girl taker taller than you, then go after shorter girls. There are plenty of them.

Work on your posture, stand back against the wall to practice standing straight and tall.
Consider footwear that boosts your height. Good boots, or trainers that are or are knockoffs of Adidas Boost
Use these couple of things to make the most with what you've got, then... get on with your life. Height is probably at a maximum, 10% of what girls care about. It's undoubetdly something they evaluate. However it is not in the same stratosphere in importance level as things like self esteem, lack of fear escalating, ability to connect emotionally, etc. Thats shit that really matters. A short guy with those qualities will get girls. A tall model without them will not.

I'll second the boots, particularly motorcycle boots or cowboy boots, which give men an excuse to wear 2" heels. Plus, as another asian, they make great conversation items, since asians rarely wear that style of boot.

err...let's just say we care as much as you care about weight.

It doesn't matter to the right girls. I'm 5'7 and dated a girl who was 6'3 and the girl after her was 5'10. If you're cool, girls don't really care.

Stop looking at it as something that you need to overcome. Otherwise, you will always be chasing a carrot on a stick. If you keep following this mentality, you will always feel that you are not good enough, not matter what successes or achievements you've created.
That feeling of inferiority is what's unattractive, not your height in itself. And sure, some girls might not date you for your height. But that's fine; there will ALWAYS be some girls who aren't attracted to you for whatever reason. That's just life in general. Not everyone is meant to be friends with each other.
I really don't wish to look up to women and feel small and weak to other men.
Your height isn't causing this. It's the way you view height.

Sure, that's what happening physically. But feeling that you look up to women and feeling that you're smaller/weaker than other men is not about your height. There will always be a reason we use to put ourselves down, whether it's our height or money or looks or dick size or whatever. And then we have contests over who is the bigger victim.
Height matters much less than you think it does. You may not understand it now, but height is ultimately a very unimportant trait when compared to your personality, your sense of humor, your confidence, your ambitions, etc.
Sure, if a girl is only judging you by looks, then height will be a factor. But that's not how dating works; women don't judge solely on appearance. Unless it's something like Tinder where they literally can't get to know your personality and they can only judge through your looks. Even then, looks will only get you so far. There are PLENTY of good-looking chodes who don't get laid. A bad-looking dude with an attractive personality will get laid more than a good-looking dude with a chode personality.
Unless you fundamentally change your current paradigm, you'll always look for a reason to shit on yourself. If it's not your height, then it's because you're not making enough money. Once you make enough money, you'll think that your face isn't handsome enough. Once you get plastic surgery, you'll think that your dick is too small. Yes, I'm exaggerating, but my point still stands.
So it's not that you need to get over your height. You need to get over the idea that there's something you need to get over.

But that's not how "real" attraction works. I'm gonna be perfectly blunt with you. It seems that you're looking for validation, not to actually date or get laid. Good luck with that. There's been a lot of good advice given to this thread. Whether you take it or leave it is your choice.

I am 5'6", you dumb bitch. It clearly shows that you don't know what you're talking about.
there, there. i put 5'4 deliberately [we all know here you are 5'6 , you've been crying all over the board for 2 days!]
this is just to show that you adding 2" on your height and pretending that you are 5'8 in fact IS a big deal.
look how mad it makes you. now imagine those women coming to meet you when you've set their expectations. not cool.
[–]DevastatinglyFemale 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
well...you are as tall as their girlfriends before they put heels on, trust me, they'll know.
stick to your smart ways [lying and demanding hot white models, taller than you] and don't forget to update us!

i would avoid the word 'troll' if i was you.
[–]DevastatinglyFemale -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
...or taller!
[–]DevastatinglyFemale -3 points-2 points-1 points 11 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link
I am 5'6", Asian and only do white girls.
why? you are not in a position to set these kind of limitations. include petite asian girls, too, include any girl that would make you feel good/tall. this means they'd have to be really short. and there is plenty of them!

and P.S. it's not about what you think YOU deserve. tall hot young white women have prefereces too. not to mention - options. everyone wants them.
[–]DevastatinglyFemale -2 points-1 points0 points 11 years ago* (9 children) | Copy Link
let's be realistic here:
i'm saying this simply because your pool of women is smaller bacuse of your height, so it's in your best interest not to limit it any further. you can't afford to be too choosy. no one really can! ...except slim beautiful women and tall handsome rich men. those are just facts. read satistics. or just use your own example.
also statistically people date mostly withing their own race, so you saying that you 'only do white women' actually means 'i date only a few white women [*edit: models!] who have a preference for shorter asian men' - very rare!
meanwhile you're excluding a whole population of asian women who by default want to date asian men?! c'mon now.

ok, you don't have to change your preferences! i thought you wanted a different result - more women responding to you.
stick to your 'lying about height' i guess...
some statistics here http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/race-attraction-2009-2014/
[–]DevastatinglyFemale 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
this is a public forum so it's not really a personalized advice, don't worry.
to resume: every man wants a hot young white woman [a model] models choose between a very few men. their number is so low, that sometimes you'll have same man dating a few of those hotties!
it's just human nature + math. and math doesn't lie. you know it too.
[–]DevastatinglyFemale 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
why - because it's only logical that [ white] models prefer 5'4 asian dudes like you? alrighty then...

At this point you're objectifying women which is really not cool.
