No: It's too late. This might have been addressed with hormone therapy when you were younger but this is moot now. Being a short man is a social liability overall but it is overshadowed by your muscular development and physical fitness, which is entirely under your control. Many guys will prefer a shorter guy as a friend, and it is easier to be wise without folks being jealous. Good luck.
