I am not clued in!! I am 5'6 barely with a disability, I invented shortness!!!
if they are deleting you it could be due to the height thing but it also could be the message you are sending, you gotta figure these women get tons of messages, most of them are lame and ask crap like so how big are your boobs or whats your favorite position!! also ahhh hi how are ya doesnt seem to be catchy either, you gotta get them hooked into ya, say something like Oh I am sure ya get hundreds of emails a day from guys telling you about how they are divorcing their 6th wife or finally being able to get a full time job etc etc
its original, its catchy and it lures them in. It has nothing to do with how tall you are, your self defeating attitude is your worst enemy
