This very interesting articles uncovers some truths many would never have assumed existed. Apparently 5ft6 is one of the most right swiped heights on Tinder. Take a look at this chart from this SUN article:

TALL TALE 

Dating app reveals most right-swiped heights for men and women – and it’s good news for short people

I have known men who have not found love until their late 30s and early 40s. Don't give up, especially if you think your height is one of the principal barriers to dating. Just continue to get out there, join different social groups, professional groups and activities that are of interest to you where you will get to meet others.

Just also be sure to review a lot of the advice given on this forum and many of the articles. Bypass the used up women who are looking for someone to rescue them (love, financially, stepdad life) and be just as choosy as you experience women being when they passed you up.

Hallo everyone, I just registerd here after some depression and searching for someone can understand me and may help because its mostly not worth ask opinion of person not in our shoes. 

in summery I am now 29, never was in relationship, 160 cm, i am very satisfied with my personality now, confidence, career path succ, acceptance of myself, ... etc

as everyone similer i feel lonely and obviously everyone needs someone to love and be loved, make adventures together, when i was younger i didnt care as now about it, so lately i get into circle of trying, recieving negative replies, get deppressed then recover and go again to meet friends and do things other than work, be fine and trying and again depressed ... etc

i obviously do not have the luck to meet a nice girl who i will like for what she is and vice versa, this currently affecting my social life and my feeling for going out and being social and loving life in general. 

because of everything before, i am really stuck between 2 options:
1- keep this cycle and hopefully i meet a girl and wont be lonely. 
2- get my thoughts to get used to live my life not wanting any relation. 

both options has pros and cons, as first one will let me maybe find someone so i will not be lonely when i am old (i mean older than now and will maybe experience a relationship thing). but everything is maybe and will experience much depression in cycles.
second option if succeeded to train mind, will be better on other sides, focusing on improving myself in many things other than dating and relationships side. but i will be always maybe alone. 

hopefully to receive opinion from similer cases around 160cm :D 
 

Whenever I see articles about older women discussing dating such as on sites like XOJane or DatingOverThirty on Reddit you'll see a bunch of women discussing how much of a hardship dating is and how they struggle to find a quality man. A lot of them men passing them up for younger women. These women consider themselves high quality.

The interesting thing is that you'll never see anyone talk about how it must be because of their personality, or calling them entitled. You never see some woman named Bianca saying how she is 78 years old and is able to attract men because she is confident.

Nope, it's because Men are shallow 

"Relationships are an investment. Women get the short end of the stick in most cases. Men will use us to prove their worth socially… It is only fair we get to do the same because society looks at women with short, unattractive men as being foolish, gold diggers, etc. Why should I take a social blow for a short man when they rarely take social blows being with an ugly woman? They want to judge us on dating sites by photos of our faces and bodies to decide if we're "worthy" of their attention. Well how tall are you? Are you worthy of my attention back? Why are men the only people who get to make ego-based decisions? I have an ego as well."
