Why is being weaker than other men life defining? Isn't up to the guy who feels this way to take charge of his own life? Does he need to be physically stronger than other men to be an Engineer or Scientist? How about an Economist? It is absurd to suggest that the OP "should feel a certain way". Sounds like you are all dwelling on it too much.
Why do you agree that taller people are smarter on average? What evidence do you have to supply for this assertion other than confirmation bias?
Can't this same reasoning be used to suggest that men are smarter than women?
So then are you saying it is a FAIR stereotype that all Asians are supposedly "smart"? Assuming that Asians are shorter than average using your logic, then the range of Asians who are smart would be short based on Western Standards.
So all of those in the 5'6+ range SHOULD be smarter on average because that would be the taller end of the spectrum of those populations.
Assuming 5'6-5'7 was the average in those countries, those 5'8+ should be the top shelf producers, critical thinkers and the most intelligent, equivalent to guys 6'+ over here. My dad does not believe in the Anne Case paper, though maybe that is because of confirmation bias?
How do you feel about those studies that show taller people are smarter than shorter people on average? Do you believe it to be true or is it just another form of height bashing?
