Jesus wept. We're trying to help you, you obstinate cunt.
Or were, anyway. I've had my fill of your insecure overcompensation. Keep posting your keen observations on the failings of other men. I'm sure we'll all be duly impressed by the unspoken implication of how obviously superior you are.
My Mom's not cheap, she just has a soft spot for insecure douchebros like you've portrayed yourself as here.
And don't say "with all due respect" when you clearly don't respect the individual to whom you're speaking. It's disingenuous and makes you look like a pussy. Did I sugarcoat my delivery above when I called you a faggot?
But I digress. You may not believe me but I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. As @Typo-MAGAshiv and @Vermillion-Rx noted, your OP reeked of bravado, like you were telling us how much better you are than other men around you as a way of covering for your insecurity. Whether or not that was your intent, that was how it read from the outside, which is why you got so much pushback.
Sure, it's painfully cliche to say you don't build yourself up by tearing other men down. It's also true. Don't tell us about some anonymous loser inventing a reason to disqualify himself from the game before even stepping up to the plate. No one cares. Tell us what you're doing to be better than you were yesterday.
Everything else is window dressing.

I've further thoughts but those will have to wait as I'm on my way out the door.
@Victor what the FUCK
have some moar vcards, you filthy, degenerate weeb!
(Thank you @woodsmoke for that delightful turn of phrase)
Yeah, that's bullshit. My Mom is about 5'5", my Dad 6'ish. They had 5 sons and I'm the only one of 'em doesn't top 6'. Most of my brothers are taller than our Dad.
My sister is the outlier, being 5'2" on her best day.
Granted, genetics does play a role. We're largely strong German and Scandinavian stock here, so everyone tends to be taller than the averages, including the women.
Here's the important bit for you, @oowiw: despite being a 5'8" manlet living in the Land of Goddamned Giants, since I got in shape, developed the confidence that naturally results from doing so and learned to get out of my own stupid way I do reasonably well with women when I actually apply myself. I've even dated a couple taller than me.
Currently feeling things out with a girl who's maybe an inch shorter than I am. If she puts on any kind of modest heels that reverses. She still makes moon eyes at me even when she's technically taller because who I am and how I behave doesn't change with her shoes.
Not being tall absolutely creates a headwind with women (and professionally), you ain't wrong about that. As @lurkerhasarisen can arrest, however, it's only insurmountable if you let it be.

In your case, it just so happens to be both, faggot.
Generally speaking, any time someone says something to the effect of "humans have never been/done X like they do today," you can be pretty well certain the individual saying it is completely and utterly full of shit.
Sure, we build different sets and props. Cast fresh actors. Dye the curtains and upholstery a different color. Maybe even change up the emphasis on the recitation of a given line.
Window dressing, nothing more. The fundamentals of who we are and how we behave may as well be set in stone as far as history is concerned.
Today it's smartphones. 100 years ago it was opium and alcohol. I don't know what the vice du jour was 1,000 years ago but I'm certain, if one were to look into the historical records of the time, one would find any number of ways in which people, particularly young people, chased the metaphorical dragon.
All this has happened before and will happen again. Anyone who says differently is selling something. And/or speaking from a position of profound ignorance.

I remember several years ago when I was still fairly new to RP ideas, I read something to the effect of "women can come up with any number of reasons, both legitimate and bullshit, to reject you. Don't save her the effort by inventing one for her."
I'd never thought of that before. Seeing it clearly expressed like that helped me out going forward.
Dudes having approach anxiety doesn't necessarily mean they're weak. Far more often it simply means they're inexperienced. We all have to learn to walk before we can run.
