Women look for the ability to climb the social hierarchy in men: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7pyPl-q_-0 Height is a predictor of success, and women correctly pick that up: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2709415/

When lacking height, you need to compensate by boosting other markers, that women latch on. Things like managerial position, luxurious housing, car, dressing etc.

Throwaway for obvious reasons, but for me the compensation was (and still is to some extent) having a very large penis.

How do women know beforehand you have a very large penis?

They don't, and after nearly 14 years of relationship & marriage & kids, I don't think women really care. But it gives confidence, and confidence makes you attractive.
