Rustin,
I have plenty of short friends who do quite well with women (and have zero formal training in seduction, mind you). I've actually dated women who are taller than me by a couple inches. If you really think it's that big of a deal, you can buy some large-heeled boots and it will give you another couple inches or more.
Taller men may only seem stronger because we conflate height with weight and strength. Second, being “looked up to,” quite literally, may at some subconscious level lead taller men to feel that they have superior qualities. Third, and most importantly from a scientific perspective, we simply don’t have the experimental cause-and-effect data to back up the idea that social attitudes and not the caveman explanation are behind any particular set of mating advantages being conferred to taller men.
The "tall man = power" equation may simply be part of the male-female power differential. Men are taller because of hormonal influences. This then becomes translated into social attitudes. We’re all conditioned by media images to prefer men and women with a certain kind of appearance. As proponents of a bio-social gender approach to male height vs. attractiveness would argue, the two sets of influences are most definitely intertwined.
I'm 5'10 (being generous to myself, here

) and it's never hurt me one bit. A certain buddy of mine is actually 5'7, but you know what? He's charismatic, fun to be around, dresses sexy and dominantly leads women. The guy always has some new arm candy every time I see him.
Being short only matters because you think it does. The height thing is all in your head. Don't let it limit you!
