I'm short as fuck myself. Whatever. I couldn't tell you my exact height but I'm definitely under 5'6. The thing is that's a bar you can set arbitrarily according to your own insecurity. Is it a disadvantage? Yeah, maybe. But so what? You have the option of staying at home and whining or trying to do something. It's obviously not impossible.

Stop calling it a defect, and stop pinning your failures on your height. The problem here is that you've done a bunch of approaches (stop counting them by the way) and you've got numbers but it's gotten you nowhere. That impasse happens to practically everyone at some point. Main reason - standard cold approach awkward chat number close is bullshit. So try something different. And that doesn't just mean run off to a social circle and try to finger Wendy from accounting at the office party. It means start thinking for yourself, reassess what you actually want and adjust your behaviour to be in accordance with that
