Less than 5% of Americans are 6'2 or taller. 6' is NOT average.

This is from 2008, so it's not up to date current, but the point still stands. I don't know how people conflate 6' with average. On just about every website, people swear being under 6' isn't normal and makes you some kind of pariah. 60% of men are under 5'10 which means that average height is beneath that - 5'9

If you woke up 6' tomorrow, how would you benefit the most?

Would it be packs of women chasing you down to sleep with you? I doubt it because many of my friends who are 6'+ get zero play. So how you would your life change in a way that you wouldn't have to work as hard to achieve something as you do now because you believe your height is holding you back?

With me it would be not having to put up with being accused of "little man syndrome", so purely psychological. I think I'd also feel more confident.

I found this interesting...

This video explains some reason why taller men make fun of shorter men.  It can be insecurity or possibly envy.  That is what the video addresses.  NOTE: This does not mean ALL taller men do this.  In fact, it can happen both ways because shorter men can do this as well.  Let me know what you think.

Does it hurt more to be just below the norm, or way below it?

I was reading something and found it interesting. It said that a man who is 5'4 is more likely to accept his height than a man who is 5'8 because the shorter man is further away from the most acceptable height. So in other words, a man who is close to being a desired height of 6', just being short of it, is harder to take then being far away from it. Thoughts?

Methuselah Gene

Some shorter people possess a rare genetic mutation, known as the "Methuselah gene," that seems to extend their life spans. This defect affects the way their cells use the hormone insulinlike growth factor 1. IGF1 plays a key role in childhood growth—and, more controversially, is touted by athletes and anti-aging proponents as a miracle cure that can help bulk up muscle, inhibit programmed cell death, and reduce body fat.

Your Partner's Height May Be Able To Predict The Success Of Your Relat

"By analyzing data from 7,850 married women, researchers from Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea found that the greater the height difference in a heterosexual couple, the happier the wife was.

But why? Well, evolution probably has something to do with it."

"Women evolved to prefer tall men because they were perceived to be stronger, and naturally they are happy when they have what they like," writes Sohn."

"Mommy" complex

I put this in studies because I feel it is better suited here than dating. So what is "mommy complex"? A few of us were talking over the weekend about these women who will date short men, shorter than themselves, and want to treat them like their child. Almost like you look up to me view deal. It is a strange thing to think about but these women are out there. Have you ever met one? I work with one and it is straight creeper. Her current boyfriend loves it though.

"Short? You Just Might Live Longer"

"Get ready to finally embrace your short stature, Skee-Lo!

We've long known that short people live longer than the taller among us. Past studies have examined the relationship between height and lifespan of populations around the world, suggesting that shorter people generally live longer lives, while taller people are more likely to have certain illnesses and develop various types of cancer.

Now, thanks to new research published in the journal PLOS ONE, researchers have finally discovered the secret behind shorter people's longevity: It's in their genes."

New Study Reveals Interesting Link Between Men's Height And Divorce

The link is money, time, and jobs. That is about it. Short men are more likely to have average jobs so they are home more and have more time to spend with their kids and wives. 

It is even said that taller men make more and have higher salary jobs on average so this means less time at home.

Lack of self esteem in women linked to "needing" taller/bigger men

I read this the other day that women who lack self esteem and confidence and more likely to date only taller or more buff men. Why? Well it continued to read that women who feel fat enjoy being with someone who makes them feel small, women who feel their aren't as worthy feel more worth in the arms of a bigger/taller man. Anyone ever hear something like this?
