Umm, Tom Cruise is 5'7 and so are many famous and successful men. My best friend is 5'8 and just got married and has never been lacking in meeting women. He's kind, plays the piano and loves to laugh.

I'm not a woman, but I think it comes down to the person you are. Be a good, funny, engaging, thoughtful, respectful man who loves himself and loves others and women will respond to that. If you were broken up with because your height was an issue, then that person wasn't the right person for you and that's ok, because there are plenty of women in th world and there are plenty who will love you for you. You just don't want to become one of those angry short guys who try to over-compensate in all the bad ways.

The other things you could do, is keep working on your mind and body. Go to the gym and build up the muscles a bit--don't need to be a steroid case, but get a hot body going. And learn as much as you can, learn a foreign language and impress women with that or meet women from that country. Travel around the world and meet a variety of women--keep an open mind about who you date.

The one thing women will pick up that will be a turn off, will not be your height, but how you feel about it. If you hate yourself or your body and have a negative self-image and project that, the women will be turned off. Women are attracted to confidence, not arrogance, but confidence. Believe in yourself--you're not a freak because you're shorter. You've got lots going for you and focus on all the great stuff about yourself.

Do this exercise: get a piece of paper and write down all the things you do well and all the things you really like about yourself. Then in another column make a list of all the things you want to improve yourself that you can do something about (like you said, you can't change your height, so this can't go in this column). Maybe ask your friends and family for their feedback on what they like about you and add that to the list. That's all you've got going for you right now and I bet that list is long. The other list is stuff you can set as goals for yourself to achieve.

Above all else, love yourself.
