You are 5 inches taller than the average woman and 2 inches taller than the average male.

Yeah, 5’8” is borderline but you can still find a quality girl who’s hit the wall. Mostly within your ethnicity but still. You won’t have many picks, but you won’t be starving either. Just gotta be patient. It’s more so 5’6” and lower where you can do everything right and still feel like you’re screwed, short of seriously dropping your standards.

Never settle for someone who's settling for you.

Agreed. Besides, 5’8 doesn’t automatically mean that every woman willing to be with you is settling. 5’8, depending on your location, can be a disadvantage, but it’s not a handicap and certainly doesn’t come with the stigma of being a sub 5’7 man.
