Height And Marital Outcomes In The Netherlands 1841-1900 | Studies In Height | Short Guys | Short King | TheLowerView

What is true now was true then. Being in bottom 20% (according to this study), meant a 56% drop in marital success (80/20 rule). I'd argue that the drop and bottom percentage threshold is even larger today.

You can find the study here.

What I take from this is that the 80/20 rule has always been a thing. Nowadays it's probably closer to 90/10.

Chaka the old buzzard Khan had an issue with Prince's height.

"Short women like to climb" yadda yadda.

She was too busy being an addict during this time anyway.

Even with the condition Prince is in now, he didn\'t miss out on much.
