Tall guys don't know how difficult game can be being short.
Short guys feel offended, specially if the short-guy-example is taller than them. Both cases use some exceptional examples (my friend who's 5-feet tall is dating a 6' feet model…).
I'm just a little taller than you so I can give you some perspective.
There's a graph (can't find it right now) but it shows the obvious; Height matters. If you're 6', you're attractive to girls ranging from 4' to 7'. If you're 5'5, obviously the range decrease exponentially. To make things worse, a short girl will prefer (very) tall dudes to compensate for her "genetic disadvantage". Having a taller mate means taller offspring and of course, she can "brag" to her friends.
Using some exceptions does not count (rich, famous, etc).
Luckily for men, looks is not the only factor to attract the opposite sex. Unfortunately you have to do a lot of work to compensate for it. My advice? Be the best you can be and go to where you're most valued.
If you live in Beverly Hills, it doesn't matter if you have a good job, decent looks, etc. There's a huge sample of guys who has all of that and much more (including height). It is possible to find a perfect girl willing to date you but realistically, your chances are slim. Same if you're in a nightclub in Netherlands. You can have game, money, etc. But when that perfect girl see you dancing around the tallest men in the world, you'll look like you're 1-feet shorter (maybe look like a dwarf), decreasing your chances.
The point of this forum is to improve yourself. My advice? As in economics, it's all a matter of supply and demand.
Be the best as you can possibly be, mentally and physically.
-Hit the gym. Target is to have the physique of a fitness model, not a gym-rat. You're going to look even shorter if you bulk too much. Do some MMA classes to improve your stamina and gain even more confidence. And you never know when that knowledge will come handy.
-Dress properly. Girls judge you by the looks. Dress to impress.
-Shoes insole? I don't use them but 1-inch might give you an edge. My opinion is that girls can spot it easily and you'll look insecure about your height. Maybe short guys could create a thread with experiences.
-Have game. It'll increase your chances 100-fold to bang girls.
-Have money. Rich is a relative term. You need enough money to rent your own apartment and pay for a girl's entertainment (drinks, condoms, lubricants, etc). Don't expect to get laid inviting a model to hang with you do drink water in a park.
-Have a social circle. When you approach a girl randomly on the street, she already knows you fancy her. She will start analyzing you (judging you) and will create a instant barrier. If she's on your social circle, that shield is a little down (unless you act like a creep). It will be much easier to game her.
-Be different.
Another important and difficult point is location. As I mentioned, your chances are slimmer being in Beverly Hills than in let's say, Ukraine. If you live in US, spend some time in Colombia. Girls are nice (I've been there). At 5'6 you'll be average height but way above average in the other factors. I could write pages about it but it's out of the scope of this thread and you'll find plenty of information in this forum.
