they do not like me the same way because I'm shorter than them. Why do women feel they need a taller man and are they just shallow because of it?

I'm not as short as you are but close enough. And the bad news is that you are screwed. Women, when asked in public, will lie and say that height is only one aspect of a man and that personality is far more important. The truth is that height is probably the single most important physical factor and will always, with the exception of money, kill any positive internal aspects. If you think I am kidding take some time and browse through the classifieds by women looking for men. Make a note of those who specifically list a height requirement, and you won't make it, compared to those who don't. The ratio is pretty depressing. Or check out the online sites and do a fake profile as if you were a woman. One of the factors that you MUST fill in are the ranges for acceptable height.
Remember, these sites work by comparing data bases. And if someone has excluded a characteristic, be it height or age or religion or race, then no one who matches any of those characteristics will be shown. And I 100% guarantee you that at 5'4" you are not going to be shown much.
Sorry for the depressing post but this is how it is. Any solutions? Yes, there are. Visit a country where the average height of people is less than the US. That would include Latin America and Asia. There are millions of people on this planet who will see you for who you are as a person. Don't waste your time on those whose image of a perfect man comes from a Walt Disney cartoon of some guy on a horse, tall, dark and handsome, saving the princess. You can do far better.

I've seen some couples where the man's shorter than the woman and these couples work out fine. I guess if you want taller women to like you, then you need to show them what you are capable of to make them feel secure. Women, at the end of the day, wish to have men who can provide them a sense of security.
Instead of saying that women need a taller man because they are shallow people, I could pose you the very same question too....are you attracted to taller women because you are shallow too?

Not all woman are the same. May I tell you a short story? I was asked to my Senior prom by a guy who was at best the same height as me 5' 3. It didn't bother me at all, however I assumed it bothered him. So I made every attempt at looking shorter than him. I wore a longer dress that covered my feet, flat shoes, I even found myself bending my knees in our pictures in attempt to look shorter. You know what? It pissed him off! Here I thought I was being considerate. He was self confident with his height. After I realized this (or I should say he told me so) everything was fine. We dated for a long time. You are what you are. If your comfortable let it show. Now having said this, some woman are just attracted to taller men. People can't help being attracted to certain types of people. It doesn't always mean they are being shallow. Maybe your are giving off the impression that you wish you were taller and are uncomfortable around taller girls. After I realized my date was OK with being a little shorter around me, I thought he was ten feet tall and bullet proof. Good things often come in "shorter" packages!!!!!!!! Stand Tall man, your as good as anyone else, if the girls can't see it, it's their loss! Oh, yeah, I married my date!

It's not all women, just personal preference. Maybe you should start looking for shorter women. I am 5' 3". It's not much shorter than you but it's a start. So go looking, us shorty's are out there. Try looking down instead of up and see what you find. Good luck with that.

I am afraid my little munchkin man that yes......most women are not liking the "shorty mac". And I say this not because we are ALL so shallow in stereotype, and we need 6'7 to be attracted... but because women have an innate need to feel that daddy will protect her. And a ...short short man, doesn't make a woman feel safe.
Women look for daddy. It's natural. Just like guys look for mommy.

Yes some may be shallow, some are, some people are just attracted to different things, so if the women u like don't like you cause ur short, then they aren't right for u.

The famous French Painter (Toulouse Lautrec) once said "Good things come in small packages"!! So don't worry about your height, just be yourself as personality and brain will win the girls' hearts!! Many tall girls like short guys, the same apply to tall guys, they like really tiny & short gals. The law of average applies! However girls your height like taller guys!! C'est la vie!!!

So you have a fettish, no big deal, everyone has one. maybe some women feel a need to have a taller man because their hight makes them insecure. not all women are like that, keep looking around.

Well I'm 5'3 and I would be happy with any guy taller than me because then it kind of makes it feel like they can protect me because they're bigger. But if I really liked the guy and he made me laugh (which isn't hard at all), then it wouldn't matter. But I'm short anyway so, once again, it doesn't matter.

because men are usually taller than women, and it's kinda weird that a girl is taller than a guy when they walk together. I personally think a guy should be one head taller than the girl at least.
