How can I make a girl feel safe when I'm smaller than most other guys?

I've always thought my height was responsible for many girls not being attracted to me. I try to not let it get to me and tell myself that it's just in my head and I should just gain more confidence. I still want to gain more confidence, but too often I get reminded that most girls want a physically dominant guy. For example, my roommate is a really tall, fit guy. Girls freakin' melt when they're around him. They even tell him all the time how they like how big he is and how he can toss them around with no problem. It's because they feel safe and feminine around him, and I understand how girls like that sense of security (girls have told me it makes them feel feminine). But being 25 and 5'5" (slight medium build) I feel like girls dismiss me because I don't have that masculine, protective vibe; especially if I'm standing next to my 6'3" roommate.

I could work out more, but I don't think that would really make much of a difference, I still have a small frame and look small. And I'm not the type of guy who has Napoleon's syndrome, I don't act overly tough, nor do I intend to.

Do most girls only feel safe with a tall, physically dominating guy? (I don't mean overly muscly guys, just much bigger compared to the girl)? I feel like girls don't see me as masculine because I'm smaller than 95% of other guys.

I like shorter guys actually (guess why?!), I actually prefer them to taller men- and there are tons of guys who have been listed as sex symbols who are not tall i.e. Tom Cruise (back before he went nuts), Gael Garcia Bernal- this guy is 5'4 or something and girls LOVE him, he's been o the sexiest men lists for agesssss and he's tiny, Michael J Fox and so on- I don't think your build sounds bad either, you should just STOP comparign yourself to your roomie, because although some girls like bigger taller guys, I'm sure there are girls that like you too, but maybe you've been so preoccupied and insecure that you didn't notice...I have a similar problem, because one of my friends is this preppy fashionable skinny girl and I'm short and round, I sometimes feel a little inferior, but I've gotten over that by realising that diferent guys liek different things, and girls are pretty much the same- so focus on how you put yourself across, if you seem like someone whos comfortable in your own skin, girls WILL like you, whereas if you appear to be really insecure, they won't...I don't have a specific type, but what always gets me is a guy whos obviously cool and happy with himself, so for me height has NOTHING to do with masculinity, masculinity is about your presence and how you carry yourself- its the same way as it works for women. i.e. beign 'feminine' or sexy isn't necessarily about being the most typically attractive girl in the room, it can simply be about being the most confident and likeable and the one whose most happy with who she is-having high self esteem can get you a LONG way xxxx

Oh jeeze, don't worry about it!
Hight is pretty much no concern for any girl if they love you...and if it is, then they're an ass and don't deserve you :{
I'm 5'8, and my boyfriend is on my neck right now xD I really don't care though, and I'm pretty sure others would agree...

I'm 6'2/6'3 but super skinny so I don't even have that going for me.
It's a very hard "trait" to nail.
