ORIGINAL: RedMagic1 I do get rejected by a lot of women, and sometimes it is because I am too short. I am 5'7" tall, average-to-fit build, and I recently made a move on a woman who is 6'0" and jacked. She hasn't said no, and I think she isn't quite sure what to do, but wishes I were at least 5'10". I am currently commissioned to write a review of a book in the field she got her PhD in, which is something she doesn't run into every day. I estimate about a 10% chance of getting past second base. We'll see. She seems cool, and I am currently in a pleasant situation, though it is unlikely to be long term. In the vast majority of cases, height is only a problem if you think it's a problem. I've known short guys with game who get laid like rock stars. quote:
And that's the thing. Context is everything. Of course most men don't set their wives and homes on fire after being laid off, even if they have watched Eminem's "I Love the Way You Lie" video 100 times. But, if you're a social scientist, how do you measure "degree of misogyny" in a population? It's not even a terribly useful metric as it represents a vast simplification of a set of complex sociological interactions. But as an example, it's well known in this country that when the All Blacks lose, domestic violence goes up. We know this because the support services for women and children experience an increase in demand. Yet, it's a monumental simplification to dismiss this as simple misogyny. A great deal of it occurs in the Maori population, although mentioning the demographics isn't considered politically correct. To understand it, the impact of white society on a warrior culture and the resulting loss of mana needs to be examined in detail. Similarly, people break up and get together over Christmas and New Year. Sometimes both. It's my belief that reaching for the easy explanation for sociological phenomena is almost always an error.
