yes some photos will help. And I don't think height really matters for a male model, does it?

5'8 male is unheard of? There are shorter guys who used to do the D&G show, Oliver Cheshire is 5'9 and Sam Lawson is 5'10

i think they must be very ectomorphic and like 5% body fat though

Pictures can be really helpful, so you may want to upload some.

Models usually lie about height adding an inch or so, either female or male. I think mainly a distinct look is what the client looks for, height may be a factor for runway work but so are good skin, proper measurements, taking care of yourself, etc. for a working model. You can always do commercial work (which pays more).

I'm no expert but I think you have a good look, but you do need to work on your body a bit, models are required to be in perfect shape. Build up your confidence and try a local modelling agency next.
