Don't become self conscious. Don't worry about it. For me, as a girl who is 5'11, it would be difficult but that comes from my own insecurities about being seen as masculine because of my height. It has nothing to do with you. There are many girls who are under 5'8 and think of 5'8 being tall.
Also girls don't prefer anything. Specific people do. I mean, I'm attracted to men who can speak about nerdy stuff with me! Some girls hate that. We're not a universal blob with the same opinions on what is attractive and what is not. It's totally different from person to person.
While 5'8" is good for some, I prefer guys who are taller than that. My reason why is that I like guys who are taller than me; me wearing high heels or flats. I'm 5'7". 6' is NOT a necessity.
Ultimately, don't worry about being 5'8". I'm 5'7", that would be an awkward height for me, but there are plenty of girls who hit under the range where it would feel awkward. Besides, wouldn't you feel even more self-conscious if your girlfriend was taller than you?
You're fine. Trust me.
This is what I tell the girls who post on this site worried about their boob size.
Some girls will be fine with your height at 5'8". Some girls will find you too short. Some girls won't care.
Ignore the ones that won't care. Why do you need to be attractive to 'every' woman? That's chasing something that will never happen. Focus on the ones who don't mind or like your height.
I believe 5'7 is the average. so it is slightly above average but then it also depends on who you surround yourself with. in some places and circles 5'8 may be tall while in others it is short

Of course it's not necessary to be 6 foot. Don't be so hard on yourself, especially for something you totally can't change. It's not even THAT short. I'm 5'10" and have to deal with the fact that I can NEVER wear heels :P everyone's got something.
It really depends on the girl.
Like I'm 5"7, and earlier I was alright with guys a little taller than me, but now I like guys who are around 5"10 or something. It's a matter of preference, and that can change with age as well.
If you are 5 foot 8 your a goddamned manlet. Unless you have handsome face you will struggle in dating.
yeah but its ok you can get these things called lift kits https://www.myliftkits.com/
Sure, some girls demand 6' height in a partner, but a lot of girls just want a guy to be taller than them. Most girls are under 5'8' so you'll be fine.
I'm 5'6, and as I said on another question, I consider anyone who's taller than me tall. So you're good.
Im 5'6 and my boyfriend is 5'8. It doesn't bother me, even though I'd be taller than him in heels. I wouldn't change him.
No, my dad is 1.75 m tall (im singaporean ok! We use the metric system!) Im 1.65 m tall And i m taller or the same height as a good deal of my male teachers
It's the average height. Assuming you don't have a slight build it's not really a problem.
It all depends on the girl height and her preference. It seems some are fine with your height, but most want taller
Only an inch short.
The average height for a male is 5'9.
Its not noticeable.
yeh depends on the girl. as for me, anything above 5'3" is fineee! :P
I see 5'8 is a little on the shorter side, but I think it's alright for girls
im 5'6 and everytime I go out girls always wear stilettos and heels and make me look even more shorter.
Can't do anything about it just compensate with something else
It probably depends on where you live. I know guys your height who do fine though.
I am 5'7" and not single, do the math.
I'm 5'3, so to me you're fine
I'm 5'9 so no I don think so
Nope. 5'8 is fine
I'm 5'5 and have no problem attracting women.
