That's the biggest problem for most men who end up in the friendzone.
If you are doing all of that stuff, the biggest factor is perceived social status. If women think you are one of the top guys in whatever community or environment you are in with them, they are going to be all over you regardless of your looks or height or anything else.
If you are considered popular and well-liked and all of the cool guys and high status people regularly socialize with you and like you, that is huge. If a girl is somewhere like a bar, and some guy walks in and she sees everyone else approaching him and greeting him by name and smiling and laughing at his jokes and drinking shots with him and having a good time with him, she is definitely going to notice and want to be a part of that with him.
And the good news is that improving your perceived social status is much easier to do than significantly improving your height or looks.
Height and looks for women are kind of like tits or ass for men.
Generally, all else being equal, having them is better than not. And a small subset of the population will basically fetishize it and specifically go for the extremes. But for most people it isn't going to be a dealbreaker. Girls preferring taller guys doesn't mean average 5'10" guys are out of luck, in the same way that guys preferring bigger tits means girls with B or C cups are out of luck.
This all assumes you are a White guy. If you are some weird pajeet or chink living in a western country and trying to get with White girls, your race is going to be a major disadvantage.
