I dropped out of the dating pool somewhere after turning 30, turned to meditation and stoicism, did lots of sports and hobbies to not think about it. It took some time to learn how to handle loneliness proper, but I got there through discipline and a daily routine.
Best thing I did, I do whatever I want when I want and I don't bother with things I can't achieve, I've never been happier.
May not be for everyone, but the alternative isn't so bad to me.
I was in this state of mind for some years, it didn't do a thing. Then, some months back, I started to get some attention. I chalk it up to people lowering their standards rather than me getting better at anything, I don't think I've changed in the last five years.
I was never in your situation so I won’t speak from personal experience
I am friends with many people who are short and/or ugly, yet they get laid a lot Personally i would advise you to put excuses to the side and work on everything that you can work on One of my closest friends if 5 ft 6, he has been in many relationships/has been with many beautiful girls (note that im also european, and the average person here is taller than the average person in America) But if you really want to then just work on your status, chances are that’ll bring girls/make it easier with girls due to the fact that girls are attracted to high value men

I'm 35, never had any success.
I dropped out of the dating pool somewhere after turning 30, turned to meditation and stoicism, did lots of sports and hobbies to not think about it. It took some time to learn how to handle loneliness proper, but I got there through discipline and a daily routine.
