A study from way back in 1980 showed that only 0.001% of the couples they looked at had a taller female. Other studies prove that this is due to the woman's choice, rather than the man's. Women also have more sex with taller men when they're in relationships and they're more likely to cheat on shorter guys.

And then feminists think we're shallow for wanting a skinny girl...hypocritical much?

The hourglass figure is actually the preferred body shape, though I get what you're saying.

Yes, that's true.

[–]yummyluckycharms 4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

So...once again - science proves gender differences in mate selection, and not only that, that's its women who are the strongest proponents of gender bias.

Also, I love the fact the study points out that women get crankier over time - regardless of the health or success of the relationship. Another nail in the marriage coffin.

Briffault's First Law at it again.

[–]Aaod 5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Kind of makes sense given how women initiate the vast majority of divorces in straight couples and lesbians have a much higher divorce rate compared to gay men. Keeping the woman happy in the relationship seems to be the key factor.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

So the takeaway from this is to avoid tall women? Or better yet, avoid marriage altogether.

Oh lord. Its one of those. Good luck with that life plan mate. You're gonna need it.

People at that age don't regret their lack of marriage. They do regret their lack of friends. Friends are better, and lead to long life.

So women are literally such monkey brains that they automatically, subconsciously disrespect a shorter man?

[–]654sdgfsdf5645654645 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

But they're so incredible at thinking in abstractions, I'm so shocked they are slaves to their basal instincts. It's almost like empowering women brings us backward because they refuse to or can't evolve.

It's almost like we biologically unconsciously support the weaker sex, and then blame the stronger sex for literally everything that has ever gone wrong since the dawn of time.

Don't you understand, you're supposed to see them as equals, even though they don't see you as one. Sure, they see themselves as better, even though they're less capable and get more support, but that's not the point. The point is equality at all times except now.

[–]DevilishRogue 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It's almost like empowering women brings us backward because they refuse to or can't evolve.

It's men that ensure they never need to by protecting women from the consequences of their decision. And it's not even men's fault because it is hard wired into our DNA due to the massively different propensity the two sexes have for producing offspring. Civilisation has rendered the drive to sacrifice men for women unnecessary but the innate instinct doesn't just go away over a couple of millennia. Awareness raising can only help but this isn't something that is ever going to diminish in us as a species even if it is legislated away from our day to day lives.

Society dies when men aren't working and women have rights, every single time.

[–]wynterpetals -2 points-1 points0 points 9 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link

I think it could also be a case of 'short man syndrome.' Some short men tend to be kind of nasty. And tall men disrespect short men too.

Tall people in general are respected more and do better in their field.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 9 years ago* (13 children) | Copy Link

Hint: the short man syndrome comes AFTER the general disrespect for one's lack of height, not before. It's a symptom of the problem, not the cause.

After years of taller boys getting favourable treatment, they tend to develop self confidence to a much higher level than their shorter peers, which leads to financial and dating success as adults more often, so it becomes a kind of self fulfilling prophecy.

[–]654sdgfsdf5645654645 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

No, don't you understand, being shorter simply has a genetic component that makes them "nasty."

It's not women saying one thing and doing another. It's not blatant disrespect in a "progressive" society that pretends to be above this sort of thing. It's not nasty comments and exclusion from some of the most important parts of being human. It's not "equality" being seen for what it really is.

By blaming the "victim" we don't have to examine the situation and can leave the status quo, which benefits us immensely.

[–]DevilishRogue 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I see what you did there.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link

Taller people are more intelligent as well.

[–]654sdgfsdf5645654645 2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link

False.

The most intelligent races of people are among the shortest (se asians, ashkenazi jews).

That highly quoted study (on reddit) involved studying children, and found that the older (taller) children were better able to process information.

http://personal.lse.ac.uk/kanazawa/pdfs/ajp2009.pdf

(2009) Satoshi Kanazawa and Diane Reyniers deduce that men have higher intelligence than women through 4 mechanisms:

(1) assortative mating of intelligent men and beautiful women
(2) assortative mating of tall men and beautiful women (3) an extrinsic correlation
between height and intelligence produced by Mechanisms 1 and 2
(4) a higher-thanexpected offspring sex ratio (more sons) among tall (and hence intelligent) parents.

They correlate higher IQs highly with physical attractiveness, female height, and earnings while correlating it weakly with male height, Asian ancestry and education and further display a high correlation for lower IQ with African ancestry, Native American ancestry, unattractiveness, short stature, and age.

They further show that females of the White race at the same height as White men are marginally less intelligent while showing that Asian females, Native American females, and Black females are more intelligent than men of their respective races at the same heights.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link

It's a class thing more than a height thing directly.

Rich kids grow up with less stress and more access to nutritious food than their poor counterparts. Those two things lead to increased height (the nutrition in particular) and increased IQ. Taller people get paid more, plus people from wealthy families get paid more. Then their own children get easier access to nutritious food and live less stressful lives than their poorer counterparts and the cycle repeats.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 9 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

You do know that intelligence is polygenic (75-85%) and height is as well (70-90%), right?

The nutritional level needed to meet maximum development according to Spinoza was a mere 1850 calories a day for males and a mere 1550 for women. The average amount consumed in the USA (for example)is wildly in excess of this.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Calories are not the be all and end all of nutrition.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

And? People in the US still get far more than they need on average. I don't see any big IQ gains, especially when the wealthiest don't eat more or differently than the poorest.

In fact, the poor eat more - that's why there are such huge obesity problems among them. It's incredibly illogical and silly to suppose that their low IQ and height is due to their diets when the West is rife with calorie and nutrient-dense diets and so few go without.

[–]TheSummerain 1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

As a 6'6 man women have always liked the fact that I am taller than them.

Never thought it had am actual correlation to my wife's happiness.

Well I leaned something today!

guess my girlfriend will be happy as hell if we get married... she's quite short, I'm quite tall! lol
