I'm short AF and I've definitely heard that from women but I also dated several women who were taller than me, one of whom by almost a foot. People have preferences and that's just how it is. If someone isn't attracted to you there's not a lot to be done about it but move on and try someone else. It's usually not a judgement on you as a person, there's just no attraction there and as much as we would all like to pretend that doesn't matter, it usually does. I don't date women I'm not attracted to either so it goes both ways.
