I think you’re missing the point. No one is saying that shorter men will never be desirable to any woman. What this study suggests is that being short is a disadvantage, so short people either need to have some other traits that compensate or they won’t find a partner. In the study, they used salary to measure this (it’s ok to be short as long as you earn 270k). So yes, it’s great you know some short guys who are exemplary enough to overcome to stigma of being short. But there are plenty of unremarkable short people who are struggle.
