I've read that he was anywhere from 5'5-5'7 which might have been average for his time, but certainly short for today.
I'd say at around 28. My priorities shifted to quality of personal life along with long term finacial and career goals.

You actually just proved his point. He is 5'7, most every country you posted, even the nordic ones had average heights for women between 5'4 and 5'6. 70% of women, if you used "shorter than him" as a gauge, would still be "dateable". Since he also dates women taller than him, his "pool" is over 70%.
I've seen the impact this has at the school level. Shorter teens are very aware of the hostility society has on men who don't grow to average or above average height. I see lots of depression, threatening self-harm and anxiety. Let's not even get to the bullying. I even see teachers and school workers insulting and ridiculing short boys all of the time.
The most horrible thing is nothing can be done about it. Nothing. Social media only amplifies this.
