My wife is 5 feet tall. She doesn't like it when I call her a midget, but you can't escape the truth.
No, but you CAN do olympic levels of mental gymnastics to deny it! 5' suddenly becomes average height if you cope hard enough
Easier to pick up for

Is genetic predisposition really weird though?
It'd be like saying it's weird how many guys like wider hips, well formed asses, or boobs. Or how many women like tall men, buff guys, or strong facial features.
It's literally hardwired into us as animals to be attracted to attributes that correlate to improved natural selection & survival odds from millions of years of evolution (And in some cases caused interesting feedback loops for natural selection that have nothing to do with actual survive ability or genetic health).
We don't think about these things it's "just the way it is", you don't necessarily know why you are attracted to something, it's part of how you as a flesh and blood animal works.
Some of us like the shorts, even if we're average.
Regression to the mean
The top of her head is always the best angle.
I have the opposite effect being 6'5" and realizing that no matter what, 90% of people will always see me from my worst angle with a double chin
Also, you have the benefit/detriment of intimidating people just by existing.
Also the burden of being consistently asked by strangers to grab things from a top shelf
It's true. I think especially for those of us who are moderately tall. I'm 6'2", and it's very unnerving when someone is significantly taller than me. I'm just not used to it.
Definitely sounds like a benefit.
Doesn’t matter. There are no good angles in bed.
None that let you see their face, anyway.
There are when you're over a foot taller than your partner.
Come to the Netherlands, you'll be average
Hey, at least you can tell us short people how the weather is.
(I say as a 5'11" dude)
