Obviously. It’s just frustrating that being short is a dealbreaker for so many women. Even women who are significantly shorter than 5’5.5" will often refuse to consider a guy of that height.
So, a short guy will never even get to the stage where “she likes you” is even a consideration, because the height filter rules them out of contention. Personality, fitness, sense of humour, etc. are all irrelevant because your parents happened to be short.
It’s one critical factor that, because it’s a number is easy to use as a filter.
I don’t know about “most of the men in the world” being 5’5". It may be an average if you count a lot of developing countries with poor nutrition. But, among developed countries it’s a lot more than that. Even Japan, which is known for smaller people, has 172 cm (5’7.5") as the average.

I seriously did not know this was an issue until I saw it being talked about on online forums.

Yes, and there have been “plenty” of short NBA players too. That doesn’t change the fact that height is a massive advantage.

That’s nice, but you’re pretending it’s not a real problem when it is a real problem.

Yes, and there are a few NBA players who are under 5’5", but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a huge advantage to being tall.

So… become gay? But, gay men are just as bad.
if you think being short is hard, try being ugly.
I do feel for the folks working against both.
At least with ugliness, it’s easy to understand the problem.
gee thanks
That’s not true. It’s just one factor. Most of the men in the world are 5’5" poor dudes. It’s not money or height.

The average person lives in a developing country with poor nutrition.
And?
