I wish I could believe that, but that hasn't been my experience, nor that of others. I would gladly lose weight and hit the gym hard if I believed that (and I have done in the past, only for all + any health/fitness improvements to make no difference.)

I'm in the UK, average is around 5'10" here. I am in bottom 2.5% of male population height-wise.

Tom Cruise is considered to be rather good looking + confident is he not? He's a good example of the factors which can counteract short height. Note he's a couple inches taller than me also :-)
