5'8 isn't exactly dwarf height even for a guy. It's taller than the average woman, average for women is about 5'4 I think.
Confidence will get you far regardless of what you look like. My Dad was never the best looking in the room (5'8, skinny, not fashionable, and balding even when he was young) but he always had the most women flocking to him, and it's because he had that charisma that people just took note when he entered the situation.
I used to have hang-ups about my appearance, but then I went to university. If you ever want a reality check about how UN-shallow people really are, head to the nearest university campus. Average-looking people, dating everywhere, getting laid everywhere. Real people are not that shallow, the media really overplays how shallow we are.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
