Re: Short Men, Overweight Women Face Lower Pay

How can you so firmly believe that heightism will never change? You still are on this site, right? We all know on here that height doesn't mean anything, so if we are able to push demand toward society to turn things around in the media, that can be a help. Also btw I have friends so tall I make fun of for being tall...they bust on my height and I joke back, it's what friends do. But to have a reinforced belief so deeply ingrained into some people's minds beyond the point of basic joking back and forth, when it changes one's life into something less meaningful than another's, is when there is a problem.

Like I mentioned in an earlier reply to this post, some of the world's most successful cultures, not to mention most people in this world, are below average American height. (Half the population in the US is, by definition, below average. The rest of the world is generally shorter, as well). This, to me, sounds like we have the numbers in our favor if we are able to do something about it.

That article says the study they conducted was inconclusive. It also said there are counter-examples, and that studies also show shorter men live longer on average.

Re: Short Men, Overweight Women Face Lower Pay

Weight is within someone's control but not height. Weight is more likely to display a person's inner habits, whereas height has no connection.

Actually a funny thing is, shorter guys are often more intelligent and successful than their taller counterparts. Think of some of the most successful cultures of people in the world such as Asians, Indians, Italians, and Jews. They are among the shortest...more intellectually-inclined, and the most successful. Also, think David and Goliath.

Also, while taller people might like to try to use their height as an advantage through physical "dominance", first of all, taller height does not automatically imply physically stronger, more fit, or healthier. Actually, being shorter may lead to longer lifespan, slower required metabolism, and lower food budget. Not to mention that compared to all other medium to large mammals, and all other animals on a weight/size basis, humans are at the bottom in terms of muscle strength, speed, and direct physical danger. What makes humans special is our brains. So does height or size matter at all when compared to intellect and ability? No, not one bit.
