Height is a factor just like anything else. If you are tall, handsome with money but are extremely awkward and can’t hold a conversation you will not be very successful with women. However if you are short, ugly and broke being extremely confident and funny will at most get you mid tier women. It’s not about focusing on one trait it’s about the whole package. It’s the same dumb mentality that gym bros have when they train upper body and nothing else and end up looking like freakshows.
I am 6 foot and am perfectly fine with my height. No one thinks I am short and I am tall enough for pretty much all women. I still understand that if I was 6’2 it would only raise my value more than what it already is. Yet I also understand that I have other attractive traits that make up for it. People that check all the boxes (intelligent, attractive, confident) are rare in real life.
