   You are wrong, it is not your stature that puts women off, but the obvious lack of confidence that being below average height for a man instills in you. Confidence is the primary factor in sexiness, and if you dismiss your own awareness of being 5′ 6" by being funny, charming, kind and attentive, women will too. In fact you may even be able to make your confidence more obvious because women will say, "Wow, that guy isn’t tall yet he doesn’t let it bother him at all!" There are scores of successful shorter men: Napoleon, the poet Alexander Pope, who was 4′ 6", and the English novelist Martin Amis (also 5′ 6") was famously successful with women as a younger man. So don’t blame your height – blame the way you think about your height.

   Don’t do it. Just be yourself and enjoy it. Women are picky as hell, so even if you were taller, they would find something. A good woman wouldn’t care how tall you are anyway.

   There is someone out there for everyone, if you are confident and accept yourself the way that you are. If you walk around hating yourself and being ashamed of your height you are not going to be attracting anyone. Change your attitude and be happy with yourself. I see plenty of "short" guys happily married…so don’t be so hard on yourself.

   don’t get a leg lengthening surgery just to attract women. one day that special someone will come. and it’s not true about short guys being at the bottom of the list. it mostly depends on your personality.

   The whole confidence thing Bad L explained is right on the money. Anyways, 5′ 6" is so not short! I am 4’9"..learn to be happy with yourself, there are plenty of good things about being short. You just got to find them and your other better qualities.

   First, yes there is surgery out there (I believe it was pioneered in Russia). I don’t believe it is performed cosmetically though, but who knows these days. It’s probably advanced since I first learned of it during a visit to a children’s hospital, but back then (about 18 years ago), it involved cutting bones, "installing" an expander that needed to be adjusted periodically, and basically taking advantange of the healing process to lengthen the bones. BTW, was not looking into this for myself but for a child.

   With that said, I’m 5’6" and never had any problems with women beyond the usual stuff guys go through. On the other hand, I never even thought about my height. Maybe the issue is self-confidence. If you believe height is an issue, it will be. Then again, I don’t ever recall dating anyone taller than me But there are plenty of nice women shorter than 5’6" if that’s an issue. Don’t let your height define you…. 5’6" is not short… I know, because I’m not short.
