How do I get over being short?

I was watching one of Dr. K's latest videos on how to break porn addiction. There is a part about halfway through where he walks about the human body is designed around sex - how much dopamine rewarding your brain does during sexual activity or even the illusion of sexual activity like masturbation - and he relates this to "social status". We care about social status because it may impact the probability that we are able to "procreate". He ended the section by saying that a solution to reducing that urge for masturbation and to increase your perceived social status was to increase your confidence and self-esteem and work towards something you are proud of.

Now, I may forget to include relevant details here but I do not understand what else I can do. For context, I am 25 years old, graduated from a U.S. Top 25 ranked university, got a Master's degree in a lucrative field that pays really high salaries coming out of college. I have been involved in multiple sports, have a black belt, and have run many marathons. I was social in school and have a close group of friends in my adult life. I monitor my diet and manage my calories, I go to the gym 5x a week doing strength training and cardio. I volunteer in several organizations on the weekend and even go to church every once in a while with my mother.

But at the end of the day, when Dr.K talks about increasing your self esteem, I still have that voice in my head that says I am undesirable because I am short. It doesn't matter what I can do in my external life to increase my confidence or work towards something I am proud of. It doesn't change the fact that in high school, I would have girls laugh in my face when I asked them out. It doesn't change the fact that in college, women will ask whether I am gay simply because I am short and engage in kind conversation with them. It doesn't change the fact that in every single video I watch where women discuss traits they want in their partner, the FIRST trait that is always mentioned is "tall". They want a tall, compassionate, handsome man. Always tall. Always something beyond my control.

It doesn't matter whether I am an olympic level athlete, the most intelligent person at my job, or get a PhD. I will always be seen as undesirable because of my height. Therefore, how do I get over being short when everything around me seems to reinforce the belief that I should view myself with low self-esteem because of my height?
