For all people shorter than tall (>6′ ?) people, cheer up. There are many benefits of being short.
From the article ([https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/01/opinion/height-short.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/01/opinion/height-short.html))
“We vote for tall candidates assuming that they are better leaders and often choose tall people as partners with no definitive data that they make better spouses. ”
“When you mate with shorter people, you’re potentially saving the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations. Lowering the height minimum for prospective partners on your dating profile is a step toward a greener planet.”
“Nancy Blaker, a Netherlands-based researcher who at one time studied social status, said that short men, counter to prevailing stereotypes, may “compensate” for being short by developing positive attributes. “It’s not about being aggressive and mean,” she said; “short men behave in smart strategic ways and that can also mean being prosocial.”

If you don’t find a mate, you won’t reproduce and when you do mate and produce a short child, the environmental impacts will be less. Wouldn’t you agree that is something to celebrate amid the constant doom and gloom? LOL
