OK, moving away from comedy ^^^^ back to the real world, I found some ethnic subcultures to be more friendly to the vertically-challenged.
The ultimate one is Judaism. My ex-wife was Jewish and so were several ex-g/fs. All preferred brains over brawn. In synagogue I'd sometimes see wives towering over husbands -- not a common sight in America. My ex was around two inches taller than me, by the way.
Also, you have Hispanics and third you have Asians to a degree. I also found that black women who have a thing for white men will cast aside height preferences just to get with a white guy (crass as that sounds).
Finally, if you're short and a really nice-looking woman you're with ever says to you "I prefer smaller guys!" take her at her word. I didn't and lived to regret it. I ended things thinking she'd eventually dump me for someone much bigger since she was a cheerleader. Instead she found someone even shorter. Live and learn.
Good points. Male attraction is such convoluted process. Sure - most women experience an instant visceral attraction towards height and good looks, but then it dissipates quickly in their minds. In any kind of different encounter and especially if she is looking for a LTR those things do not matter that much to women.
I've heard the same by women who said: "I like short men."
My cousin is a 5'6 Alpha and you should see the way he completely dominates (benevolently) his entire family and also any other unruly kids coming for visit. He was also quite popular with women, because he is very witty.
Another time I also realized that women PERCEIVE height differently when they are attracted to men. An example - a beautiful female friend of mine (dated her twin-sister, but that is beside the point) once said that she met a great man, a pilot, tall and good-looking. When I finally met the guy he was 5'8-5'9 and one of her previous boyfriends was 6'3, so I thought that his height would go towards the latter one's. But no - to her 5'8 was tall, because he was tall in her mind.
