Walaahi. The dating market is fucked in the west. No woman will even swipe for a short guy. Short guys get no play on dating apps, it's even worse in real life.
it depends how short.
shorter than 5"7, yeah you are khalaas.
but at 5'7, 5'8, 5'9, you can still get play but you have to overcompensate(be successful, be fit etc), you have to be more appealing individually to get as much play than a taller person who is average.
