Did not read the other responses. OP, if you have a high income and are ready to settle down, find a professional matchmaker.

I know plenty of short men who are happily married. I'd look at your behavior toward women, not your height.

He's not going to develop a long term dating relationship with someone.

So what, a mail order bride? Just, yikes dude.

I mean my brother's married to someone from another country but they met in college.

"mail order bride" is just online dating... just further away.

I know a few men who got wives in Asia or South America. They were various combinations of 5'5", hearing impaired, balding in their twenties, or recovering from a terrible divorce. If you are white or black, then you should find decent prospects locally. If you are South-Asian, East-Asian, or some other minority then you need to be aware how this affects your dating pool.

You will have better marriage prospects in some other countries. But you must spend significant time there, on extended vacations or job transfers. International marriage sites will just attract scammers.

Your dating value will increase over time. Meanwhile, spoof your cellphone location to downtown D.C. to see how this location affects your Tinder matches. Get boots or elevator shoes to add 2-3" and lie online. I disike Matchmakers, but you can easily afford It's Just Lunch and similar things.

Yes, other people don't understand. If you say you are rich, then you are a liar or insecure braggart. You need to learn game and online dating to make a good online profile and convey things indirectly. Try speed dating and other singles events to improve your dating skills.

Unless you are Morman or evangelical Christian, single women in their 20s and 30s aren’t going to church functions regularly

The priest interns at the Episcopal church that I attend tend to be mid-20s and very hot. Most are engaged by the time their internships are over.

So much for the incel movement on DCUM that insists women are all and only gold diggers.

OP is too lazy even to drive to the nearest large city in the US for scheduled dates. Come on! I dated intercontinentally to my now exH. It's very expensive to date internationally, you have to take multiple trips, pay for women's visas, avia fare. Many girls would just play around and it won't result in anything serious. My ex was in investment banking, and he screened candidates for a wife on his business trips when single, with hotels and avia fare paid by his job. I cannot tell that a man who travels to date is a very stable choice for the family for any woman. He cheated on a business trip and was entangled in a long term workplace affair causing divorce after 16 years marriage. We were together for 18 years, and it wasn't me, that hot foreign wife, who broke the family.

I don't see OP being able to pull it off, it takes a totally different adventurous personality, very high income and sexual attractiveness

You need to somehow make it obvious without being obnoxious that you make that much money.

As my cousin used to tell her short younger brother, “don’t worry, you’ll look tall while you are standing on your wallet”

What do you do? How much do you earn? Have you paid off your debt and if so how much do you have saved?

OP here I work in tech, made 450k last year with 1.1M in assets including home equity. No debt other than my mortgage.

No way that American women aren't interested in you unless you are an a-hole. There are plenty of short women in America. There is something about you that this isn't working for you.

I agree with this. One of my childhood friends is 5’5”, good job (though he never owned a home until he got married but he lived in nyc) and always had dates and several steady girlfriends in his 20s, they ranged in height from 5’0” to maybe 5’7”. He got married around age 30 to a nice, attractive woman who is maybe 5’2”

Yeah yeah sure we do okay in life just by having a good head on our shoulders. I personally got pretty jacked so that I could at least offer wide shoulders (control the things you can). What a lot of shorter realize is it's just easier when you're 6'2". Hell the height requirements on sperm bank donations tell you all you need to know. Look I was broke in college and the one near me only paid for 6ft...one of the hardest rejections of my life.

Yes, same here (women 5’7-5’8, men 5’5-5’8). All men are well off, they hand taller kids as a minor benefit. Sons usually take looks from moms

“Sons usually take look from moms” is such BS
