My boyfriend is 5'5", that's half an inch shorter than me. I'll admit, I love that I am in a relationship with someone who is always eye level with me, rather than having to crane my neck up every time I look at my BF. For that reason, being attracted to someone of a similar height was very beneficial. This has never been a turn off. However, he has plenty of tall friends as well as slightly taller ones. (And by tall, I am talking about the tall and lanky AND the tall and built .... and tall and very wide. Some very large people.)

My BF is TIRED of short jokes. For that I feel bad for him. However, he obviously has friends, and cracks plenty of tall jokes against them as well. Although he has to deal with teasing, he is never rejected.

I have friends of all statures. Good friends are good friends, there is no fat friends or thin friends or short friends ... just good or bad friends. You don't have to be ATTRACTED to your friends, so I happily associate with anyone, even if it's a face only a mother could love. Yeah, it's weird to be dwarfed, but I am sure there are other reasons other than your height effecting friendship. Others here are correct, you seem to be making inappropriate assumptions.
