How is the height pill not real?

Every experience I've had with women has lead me to believe that height is indeed a crucial requirement for a man to get a partner.

For starters, my female friends in high school eventually ended up with my tall or average height male friends, leaving me as the only single person in the group. As further proof, my tall friend and I didn't meet many beauty standards and we both suffered from autism, yet he's the one who gets the girl. I don't think it was a coincidence. Even after graduating, the few friends I've had had large height gaps as well.

I've heard plenty of times how personality and "game" matter more than height, but this is either said by taller guys or women who are dating taller guys. I might win a personality, but I think women will prefer someone who has a personality and is taller than me.

I feel like a lot of the words of encouragement us short men receive are just pats on the back and empty platitudes, like calling us "short kings" as if it wasn't something you'd call a child.

At this point we must accept that being short as a man is a death sentence in the dating world.
