I worked with a many short men, some of them bald. I mean, STEM, tech, hello, tends to be a big chunk of the demographic. They consistently underperformed when it came to charming women. Tall nerds tended to swoop up the few women on campus.

Great comment coming from this username!

I come from a long line of short men - myself I'm the exact national average for Norway so I can afford to be a bit detached from it.

Obviously they all succeeded, but I wonder if they worked extra hard for it. One relative was a gymnastics champion, a rally driver and diver, all areas where it's an advantage to be short. (I'd bet he'd been a jockey too if he had the time).

"Charming" a girl, which can just involve making a joke/ass out of yourself to make her politely laught, and actually getting AND staying with her are two entirely different things.

I know a North Korean guy who is rich. This proves that all other North Koreans who consider themselves poor are just whiny bitches.
