When I think of some of the most worthy men I've ever known, lots of them are actually of middling height, or even on the shorter side. Their height suits them, but being "tall" intellectually, emotionally, socially, etc. is much more important! They are confident, know themselves and what they want, kind to others, etc. Also, play up your other physical features, maybe strong shoulders, great hair, piercing eyes, enticing smile. Also, I am about 5'1 and there are some real benefits to a "shorter" man - but again, height is not a dealbreaker, so someone much taller and/or bigger than me is welcome if he has what I'm looking for on the inside.

You have all wrong, way wrong. Women have 5 years on guy in maturity, before we even start look at girls. You could be 10 feet tall and still act like a 12 year jackass.
Women look for me that are tall in the brain. Someone they can talk too, have good coversation with, understand them and their point of view, able to give them good soild advise when they are stuck.
Let see you grow into that.

5 ft 6?! That shouldn't be a problem in the slightest! I'm 4 ft 11 and yes it's different for a girl, but imagine all the girls my height who want to find a guy your height. As long as you carry yourself confidently and are proud of your height, nothing else is important. You're a nice height, some guys can be too tall - honestly, don't fret, you'll be fine.

But it's not that important - for me, as long as a guy is taller than me (I'm 5'5) I don't really care how tall he is. Though once I was dating someone a little too tall (I couldn't hear what he was saying all the way up there lol) - other than that it doesn't matter. All my girlfriends think the same way.
