Tom,

I used to worry about being short.  Then I stopped worrying about it. 
Since then I have had far too many women wanting to marry me.  All
heights and backgrounds.  All attractive.  All intelligent.  Remember-
it's just the stupid ones who care about your height.  

Attitude makes a big difference.  Intelligent, attractive women want a
man who is witty, kind, intelligent and sure of himself.  (It's a good
thing I didn't discover this in high school, or I would have been a real
womanizer!  And probably would have been shot by some girl's father:P)
