Richard Simmons passed away yesterday at 76. He was 5'6.
If you were a kid in the 80s and 90s, regardless of your politics or religion, this guy used to go on all of the talk shows and made people laugh with his personality and energy. He also made it his business and mission to get people who struggled with their weight into shape. He used to get bullied (in a playful way) but some talk show hosts (Letterman), but he always took it in stride and had a great relationship with those he interacted with. |

Tall men can get away with being out of shape and still be a catch
Let's talk about it. There is this guy at my job, he's a supervisor. He's 6'2 and eats like a damn slob. Every day, this guy scarfs down two whole pizza boxes and drinks two bottles of diet coke and wash it off. The guy looks pregnant. He wears a t-shirt and wrinkled jeans. Anyway, with all of that, he is banging one of the cashiers. He sometimes brings her to the office in the morning to get a quickie in. Oh, and by the way, he's cheating on his wife of two years. He is in his late 30s, the cashier is 22 and smoking hot. Now I'm not salty that he's with the cashier, but want to point out that for a short guy to be considered attractive, he has to be in shape, no exceptions. You have all of these women saying they love "dad bods". I don't necessarily believe that because I see even overweight women clown fat guys. But if you're a tall guy, you will get way more leeway and can still be considered a catch even if you let yourself go. You can't be a Jonah Hill or DJ Academics type. If you were, it would be clear that they are there strictly for the dinero. |

4'7 Dr. Ruth Westheimer passed yesterday at 96. Her Husband was 5'5.
Famous Sex Therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer who wrote books, appeared on television shows and gave advice for decades passed at 96 yesterday. Her husband of 37 years, Fred Westheimer, an engineer, was 5'5. She once said, "His height of 5’5” perfectly complimented mine of 4’7”.". You can read her passing in this ABC article here. You can read her life reflection given to Moment in 2020 here. |

Austin Dunham asks about height, doesn't get the answer he wanted.

I can't stand interviews like this because the interviewer (usually average or tall) is looking for a particular answer to boost his own ego. I like the fact that the woman stood ten toes down on her not caring much about height (her boyfriend is 5'4) and that the boyfriend looked un-phased. |

Attractiveness By Race. Is Perceived Height A Factor?
Data from a study conducted by Ok Cupid in 2014, revisited from 2009. You can see that white women are rated highest by all men (slight negative expression from Black Men). Black women take the back seat from all men (the least negative expression is from Black Men, though it's still in the negative). From all women, white men are preferred by far with the exception of black women. Black women give a slight nod to Asian men. White women prefer their own with Latinos getting some grace. I would bet that is because there are many white passing Latinos. Some conjecture online from Asian men is that they believe that their perceived lack of height (older stereotype) might be the culprit, but it wouldn't explain why Black men are rated lower when they don't hold that same stereotype. Here is an example of this conjecture on a reddit post. I would be great to see a 2024 update, especially with all of the political shake-ups which have taken place since then which might have an effect on opinions and perceptions. You can find an overview of the data in this OkCupid article here. |

Short cop bullied relentlessly at protest
Ironically, this is at a protest for Discrimination. Go figure. The video is from a Tik-Tok account that no longer exists, so it's now floating around online.

Women react to the physique of 5'5 Mr. Olympia competitor Ruff Diesel
Self-Improvement will always give better results than staying where you are. This guy is what a lot of ladies would call "average-looking", but his dedication to his physique and success gives him a major edge. I absolutely believe that most of these reactions are genuine. |

He asks what he can do besides approaching people and going to the gym. What do you think his issue is? |

Height Preferences In Humans May Not Be Universal
2012 study suggests that height preferences in humans may not be universal due to cultures where extreme sexual dimorphism in stature is preferred. You can read the full study from Elsevier via PubMed here. |

That time a Nick Jonas fan asked for a photo and then roasted him
It was great to see Nick Jonas clap back. It definitely was incredibly rude to ask for a photo just to insult him right afterwards. |

She says tall men are preferred, but not for their height
So I'm guessing a 35 year old who is 5'4 is less mature than a 35 year old who is 6'4. Got it. 🙄 |

She insults her by comparing her boyfriend's foot size since he's 6'4
What's hilarious is the woman who threw the insult said nothing about the size of his foot. |

Are there any cultures that prefer shorter men?
Exactly as my title asks. There are a minority of cultures for example that are matriarchal. India's Khasi tribe, Ghana's Akan and Costa Rica's Bribri people come to mind. I can't seem to find any societies where shorter men are preferred. Do these exist? |
