as a short man myself I agree that simply changing location or target audience can get you a partner.

However it's not about how you see yourself and how confident you are so much, people will subconsciously judge you anyway and have more affinity to taller people than you. Nothing you can do about that. Just accept some people will like you and most won't.

No way dude. If most people dislike you there's something else wrong, probably the way you act.

As a 5'3 guy who is socially active I have a few nuances to add. It's not that people or even women won't like you. Women, even tall women will like you. They may even think you're cute or attractive. However, they will likely not be interested in dating you. Women tend to have an ability to see a man as valuable even if he's not "dateable."

Not at the start. Most women are not attracted to manlets. Women enjoy dressing up and wearing heels. The last thing a woman wants is to tower over the manlet in photographs.

One can't change genetics, but focusing on other things, like improving one's net worth, will make him more atteactive.
