Just being 5'5" throws me completely out of the dating market. Women want a 6 foot tall guy. It doesn't matter that I have a Ph.D, a very decent income, or that I'm extremely chivalrous in relationships. They're all chasing some unattainable guy that I'm never going to be. So, I ended up just removing myself from the dating world and do my own thing. People like me are essentially invisible to most women. I used to complain about this, but now I just take it with a grain of salt and keep building up my life to be the best it can be for me. I realize I'll never share it with anyone because that's just the way the world works these days.
