Is this real with tangible benefits or just a cope and hype? 

I have few buddies who workout together, different heights and it didn't seem like one had more trouble gaining muscle over the other.

Pound for pound it is indeed true. We'd have to consume less calories. The amount of dedication would be the same, but it's pretty obvious that you could put on less muscle and weight by comparison to someone much taller to look jacked. 

That is an "advantage". The question is who that advantage matters to. We definitely should be working out for ourselves, but aeshetically, from the perspective of dating, it would matter if the woman values a fit body over height. Some do.

She\'s framing it this way to make it look like she\'s making some kind of educated point, but the reality is, she most likely really does think this.

Woman upset men at matchmaking event were short fat and balding

That one part where she said she was just there to practice lol.

So even after women decided to leave, the women left STILL wanted to engage in humiliating men.

No wonder most dudes pass on these things.

Dude looks way younger than he is.

Good reminder to eat healthy and keep healthy habits.

Though he does smoke. I can't get behind that.

I've done my best to cut down on sugar and don't drink often.
