How can a Muslim stay positive after facing height-related rejection in marriage proposals?

Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters. I'm a 173 cm (5'8") brother and I've faced rejection a few times when looking for a wife, solely because of my height. It's starting to get to me, honestly my confidence has taken a hit, and I'm worrying whether I'll ever find a compatible spouse. From an Islamic angle, how do I deal with this without feeling bitter or losing hope? Any reminders from the Quran or Hadith would mean a lot. Also, if any married guys out there have been through this, please share your experiences.

Quran says: 'Perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you' (2:216). These rejections might be protection. Have sabr, brother.

Ya akhi, remember the hadith: Allah does not look at your appearance, but your heart. The right woman will see your taqwa, not your height.

Man, I hear you. Got told 'too short' so many times. Then I married a sister taller than me. Now we joke about it. Keep your chin up.

Bro, height is just one trait among thousands. Some sisters care, others don't. Keep your deen strong and your heart clean. Allah's plan is perfect.
