Advantages of Your Height

[zekko]

Saw this video the other day. Since height is such a frequent topic on here, I thought I'd share it. Find your height and hear what advantages you have. For instance, the taller you are, the lower your expected lifespan. I had heard some say this was a myth, but it makes sense to me as presented here: The taller you are, the more cells you have, the more likely some mutate, etc. Anyway, maybe it will make some feel better about your height, whatever it is.

For EVERY guy who blames his incel-dom on his height, the truth is, his height has nothing to do with it.

What has something to do with it?

Most everything else.

So if a guy is 5’2” and struggles to get dates, you’re going to claim his height has nothing to do with it?

how likely it is for a guy to be 5’2’’ ?

from what everyone agrees on is that height has a normal distribution, which means that 68% of the height sits within 1 standard deviation from the mean, 95% within 2 and 99.7% within 3 standard deviations

in the USA the average height for a male is 5’10’’ and a standard deviation of 3’’

so at 5’2’’ you are in the bottom 0.15% of height

Yeah, if that is the case then you are f8cked but most of the guys complaining about height are maybe average in height

You just can’t come up with crazy examples to prove a point

looking through these height stats I kinda realized that even the social media focus “ he needs to be 6’ “ is actually not something that exaggerated. Basically it means to be slightly above average and usually comes from girls whom are slightly above average themselves

Or maybe that woman is a little shallow . I happen to be the average 5’10. Never had any problems with women. But then I am also a 8-9 in looks . But honestly, I can’t take credit for that. My parents were both very good looking. I just got lucky.

I'm 5'8" and use to clean up on OLD when I used it regularly. Probably a 6 in looks but my build and being in elite shape definitely pushed me up some especially for women who placed a high importance on that aspect.

But even during times I wasn't in the best shape, I still did well for myself. Personally I think women just have a single bucket for "in shape/muscular" and as long as you are in it, being elite versus just muscular with some extra body fat doesn't move the needle much.

I think I've got a naturally chubby face, so have to get to "elite" to get the face card.

If you have to go that extreme, I think you're proving my point.

You're looking at less that 0.1% of men who are under 5'2. Of course if you're hunchback, that'll affect your dating.

But for "normal" shortness like a guy who's 5'6, it's not his height.
