So maybe you should quit judging men on their heights so much.
LOL a guy who's 5'4 would be tall enough for her

I'm 5'6, sometimes 5'7 lol. I don't mind my height, but sometimes I get discriminated on in dating because of it.

Doesn't bother me too much. It's ultimately there loss after all.

No surgery is completely safe. Every time you go under anesthesia you could die, every time you are cut open you could get an infection.

But there actually is surgery to make you taller. They break your legs and install mechanisms that you crank each day, pulling the bones a little farther apart at the break each time, forcing the bones to grow more to close the gap. I think they can add up to 5 inches.

It is awesome being tall, but not worth expensive, excruciating, life-threatening surgery.

Oh, we're all a bunch of liars. All us ladies claiming to be 6+ are actually delusional midgets.

And the range is really skewed only to the female height spectrum. Average male height in the U.S. is, what, 5'9? 5'10? So half male population is over that which makes 20% pretty accurate.
