Fortunately, I don't really care anymore. Being quick witted and laid back helps for sure. But it goes both ways. Hell, I know certain women who hate tall men, finds them creepy she said, everyone has different opinions/tastes on literally everything.

People actually make fun of your height at 5'9"? I was the same height as you from 17 up to last year (I'm 20 now) and I was never called short once during that time frame.
EDIT: changed the thread title to something more appropriate.
