[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got back from London and wanted to share my observations:

I went to many events - opera, museums, work stuff etc and I didn’t see a single family (or couple) where the guy was under 5’9 unless it was an immigrant couple.

The height penalty is acute and can be overcome through money or status but I think the honest thing you can tell short sons is in 2024, below avg height must be compensated with excellent career/money prospects

What’s the height penalty?   Men under 5’9” find love, build a family, go through life like everyone else.  Tall men are not any smarter than short men, not more personable or don’t always have a better personality.

[b]Jeff Bezos is 5’7”, Mark Zuckerberg is 5’7”, Bill Gates is 5’9”, Warren Buffet 5’10”,  Super billionaire Jack Ma is 4’11” to name just a few.

People will not let their height get in their way if they are ambitious and driven.   Men who go to college to become an entrepreneur or engineer or doctor or teacher or tradesmen are not judged by their height but by their competence in their field and their honesty and likability.

Who goes to museums and stares at people to gauge their height and not to see the exhibits.

I think you made pp’s and other posters’ points with those examples
