It's pointless trying
I am so done with dating. I am a pretty good looking guy, dress well, fit, and work a high paying job. A big physical downside is I'm 5'7. But overall, I have been very confident in being proactive meeting new people, flirting, and asking women out.
It's a lot of rejection and being led on, and when I do go on dates, it never ends up leading to anything and it feels like I'm just used for free coffee or drinks. I've been seeing this one girl who I've been casually hooking up with, but I'm not even that attracted to her.
This is all such a shit show - just know that you can be short and make up for it with confidence and all that other BS, but you're still scavenging for crumbs at the end of the day, and all the higher quality women aren't even looking your way.
