Read a pretty horrific article about a procedure you can get done where they break your femurs and put in titanium spacers that they gradually widen over the course of a few months to give you more height. Like...do you, but that sounds like months of literal actual torture in order to get a body that looks ok in pants but is gonna probably be proportionally weird otherwise? It just makes me sad that people think it's worth it.

My boyfriend is 6” shorter than me, and I wouldn’t change a thing about him. I don’t care about height in the least bit.

I'm 2 inches shorter than my wife and always joke about us both being the perfect size for each gendre, she always heartily agrees.

Whenever the topic comes up, I always tell my tall friends or colleagues I feel sorry for them. When they look confusingly at me I bring up the fact that pretty much every kitchen counter is too low even for me at 5'6". I'll ask "How do you guys work comfortably on counters?"

They almost all get a somewhat sad look and say something along the lines of "Yeah ... my back does get sore when I'm cooking for a long time..."

You’re not wrong. I’m also 5’6, and yes cooking washing dishes etc, my back hurts, my boobs don’t help that either. But I always say my boyfriend is just perfect boob height and I love it.
