Of course it does. Google how executives tend to be 6'1", the taller presidential candidate almost always wins, and how 6'5" guys are lusted after by women.
5"10" is average for white males in the US.
6'2" is at the 95th percentile.
5'7" is probably like 15th percentile or something.
Regardless, work on yourself. Make your body hard, wallet thick, and game tight. That's all you can do son.
The average height of the top 100 marathoners in the world is under 5'7".

Your height will only be an issue if you let it be an issue, or make it an issue (like a self fulfilling prophecy). You need to let it go of stuff you can't change. Just be confident in yourself and you'll do just fine.
Thanks
5' 4 1/2 here
Married a pretty girl, have a good paying job, great kids.
Keep pushing that boulder up the hill, you may never be bigly enough to be President, but short guys can have a great life.

This is true for the most part but you will still find girls attracted to short guys. Maybe not short and scrawny but i know many short husky guys with attractive partners.
Im 5'10 so height has never been an issue but id still love to be 6'1 or so. Face, money, physique, and personality all matter way more anyways at least
Some girls like short guys. Many people feel more comfortable with shorter men. It is what you make it.
Besides you are only an inch or so below average. Would you really want to be a 6-5 guy? They have their problems as well!
I am 5'7" too. I don't bother with trying to find a date.
While it's true that some women will still find you overall attractive if you're 5'7", it's a fact that women much prefer a guy to be tall. That is to say, you might find mutual attraction, but you're kidding yourself if you don't believe she'd swap you out for a tall version of yourself if he existed. That a taller guy is more attractive than a shorter guy (all other things being equal) is about as universal a principal of attraction as that a person with clear skin is more attractive than a person with acne. Remember that sperm banks don't accept sperm of guys who are under 6'0", and that if you use online dating then at 5'7" you will be filtered out of every search.
I was once 5-7 on my way to 6-2, didn't hurt me any.

For running, it only limits you in the distances of 100m-400m.
For life in general, it doesn't ever limit you, as in make it impossible to get any type of job or achieve any type of status or respect, but you'll be playing Life on Difficulty Mode: Hard, so to speak.

Literally the first two hits on a Google search of sperm bank and size requirements prove you wrong. Next time, make sure they know you want to make a deposit and not a withdrawal.
Not any different than any other physical characteristics.
Have good teeth, good hair, stay fit, wear flattering clothes, smell nice, be a good person, and you will be fine and girls will never be an issue.
He's 5'8".

5 flacid, 7 tumescent isn't bad at all-- and flacid doesn't matter unless you're trying to show off to Penn St fans in the shower.
Pics would help on the 7 though: thick? nicely shaped?
Being short stinks!...most hot dames like the tall, dark & handsome kind. Short cats usually don't do that well in major team sports either, unless you can run a 4.2 40 or can dunk a basketball. In my high school days, myself and most other short runts went out for the wrestling & XC teams. Historically, most short cats are suited for comedian acting careers in films, theatre, nightclubs, etc...everybody loves a short funny guy 😅. The only short guy that didn’t go the comedian route, and is the envy of most women is Tom Cruise 😎.

Only problem with that statement is that Hollywood goes to great lengths to make him appear normal height in his movies. If women saw how short he is in real life, they would have a different impression of him.
Of course women prefer tall men but they will give a shorter man a chance if he can check off some of their boxes. Women like confidence but the shorter man can't have a Napoleon complex. If you're short then you shouldn't be scrawny otherwise that's two strikes against you. Hit the gym, invest in a solid wardrobe, be fun and confident, don't be a tightwad, and stop hating on people. You'll get laid more and won't be posting about illegal immigrants, Kenyans who join the WCAP, and trust fund babies. Seriously, people who don't get laid are a most spiteful ilk.
No.
Unless you want to be a rower, basketball player, or something like that. Then yes.
