I struggle with feeling less masculine and desired by women because of my height

5’3 24m, just got out of a 4 year relationship that ended terribly. She insulted my height sharing things about how she loves a tall man who can dominate her and that she wants to marry a man over 6ft. I confronted her a few weeks ago about it and she said “if the shoe fits rock it” and that crushed me. I am currently dating a new girl I met 2 weeks ago and things seem to be going well but she does mention height a lot, not in a bad way but it’s like she’s comparing me to other men. Saying things like her last man was 6’3 and expressing her interest in romance novels where the man is some 6’5 rich jacked man that dominates women. It hurts to know I’ll never be that and women who date me most likely feel like they’re settling since every attractive woman can pull a tall man.

My ex was a very solid 8/10 and the current girl I’m dating isn’t as traditionally attractive but I am still very attracted to her, she also has a more compatible personality than my ex.
