Does height matter much to girls at 16?

I'm 16, 17 in 4 months, and I'm 5'4. I know you don't stop growing until you're 21, and I'm just hoping I can become at least 5'9 (my dad's height) before my growth plates fuse. I started sixth form in September and I've noticed 90% of the males there are taller than me. I'm usually taller or the same size as girls though. I've become really self-conscious about it. I went to the doctors about it and they told me to get a good estimation of your final height, you average your parents and add 3 inches. My mam is 5'7 and my dad is 5'9 so I'm estimated to be around 5'11 for my final height. They've referred me to the hospital and I have an appointment there on 20th February. I'm assuming to see if my growth plates are still open etc. Just hoping I hit a growth spurt as nobody in my family, who's a male, is below 5'9.

My question then, does height mean a lot to girls who are the same age as me (16/17)? I've been told I'm not ugly by a lot of people. Would you date someone who was nice to you but was small but still growing?

Doesnt matter aslong as you are taller than them

IMO if you have the personality like confidence that will make you stand out from someone who is 6'2 but lacking personality

So basically, "it does matter".

Yes of course it would matter.

height calculator says you should be around 5ft 10.5

at almost 17 you're pretty much done i'm afraid. Quite rare to see someone have a late growth spurt at that age. I think Justin Beiber gained about 2 inches at around 16 ...but like I said ...it's pretty rare.

Realistically if you are being optimistic, I would say 5ft 6 max will be your biggest potential ...but again that is being fairly optimistic. You have to prepare yourself to accept the fact that 5ft 4 may indeed be your final height.

unfortunately a guy who is 5ft 4 will generally struggle with dating. It's a shallow world ..and most women do discriminate on height.

ofcourse, there's always going to be a few women who will date a shorter guy, but they are pretty rare.

when you are 18+ you may want to consider leg lengthening surgery. It is an extreme procedure and you will endure lots of physical pain ....however it will make you a few inches taller. Make sure you research it thoroughly though as it's not something to be taken lightly

Again, going into anonymous. Why don't you show yourself you LARPing cringemaster?

I bet you're that one 6'2 guy that has no arms kek.

And i'll admit it, i'm the king of manlets (5'10), but i'm most likely stronger than you.
