I am 165 cm tall, and I can confirm what was said.
In the broader social landscape, the general social image, you are seen as a "small man." You don't fit the idealized version of a man, which, depending on the country (I'm in Italy), usually starts around 175 cm and above.
Socially speaking, you're often perceived more like a child, yes, that’s the reality.
Now, narrowing it down to a more personal level, your family, friends, acquaintances, and people in your city, they’ve likely had the chance to appreciate you for your other qualities. Some may still view you as a "child," but others will value you beyond just your height.
That said, yes, the original point stands.
Just remember one important thing, if you’re feeling depressed about women, know this, when someone truly wants you, your height won’t matter, they’ll want you for who you are.
However, one reality remains, in a large, random sample of men, the average woman won’t choose you. She'll choose someone else.
My advice? Find your niche, dear little man. You need to shine where you have the best chance, not in the general population.
It might sound like just coping, but unfortunately, it's the truth. Life is a competition, so compete where your odds are better.
