i wouldn't argue this to a short king's face in rl obv. and totally understand it fucks with them way more, but uh all pain is local or w/e the saying is lol.

Ya but the advantages are intangible and unquantifiable. How do you quantify how much height factors into all interactions with others? That’s like trying to quantify how much being attractive factors into all interactions with others. We can only via experiments and things show that it does, but it’s hard to quantify exactly how. A lot of times we would have to consciously tell ourselves to think differently than what our brain automatically suggests in order to be impartial and fair. I know I’ve had to do that before when speaking to a guy who is almost dwarf-status. I don’t feel as much pressure to do it vs a very tall guy, but their height does still affect my perception of them

And of course, as you know, you could never make a post anywhere on any social media like “oh man, life is so hard as a tall guy who’s 6’7”

You would get soooo many guys being like “Fuuuuuck you”

or is it because tall people are out having fun and short people are crying and sleeping all day in their tiny beds.

There’s been a lot of times where I hear about a particular influencer or famous person’s height and it’s like above 6’2+. Philion is an example that comes to mind. He’s always sitting but that dude is like 6’4 if I recall. Trump is like what, 6’2?

It makes me wonder just how much of a confidence boost tall men are getting. I mean it’s all subjective, but that’s why I keep reminding Ecko to utilize it to boost confidence

It’s unconscious status. I can’t explain it, it’s something primal. It’s like why do women gravitate to a man taller than them, sometimes much taller? We no longer need men to protect women with their physical bodies anymore, a short guy with a gun is infinitely more protective than a tall guy without one. Yet there is something biological and primal that remains. And no amount of debatebro’ing women to like short guys more will work to overpower it

Well it works with men too. It’s not going to make men want to have sex with you, not the straight ones anyway, but it does affect their perception in a primal, unconscious, but most of all POSITIVE way, until they make a conscious choice to ignore that un-earned status they are giving the tall person. Because it is dumb and unfair to have height influence perception. So if questioned, and if we have to think about it, we’ll say “fuck no, I consider every guy from the shortest to the tallest with the same fairness”. But we don’t. Not until we tell ourselves that’s what fair and right to do

I have definitely seen statistics and studies that show tall people using the same arguments as shorter people being more effective at them, no matter who the argument is towards. I’ve certainly seen data presented by blackpilled depressed bro’s on Reddit showing that tall men, just like attractive men, are more likely to be considered for a job. That kinda thing

Is it fair? No. But is it there? Yes. Until you consider it, then some people overpower it with better fair judgement

To expand on that, a tall guy who insecure and doesn’t have his height at all influence his confidence would be like a black guy being insecure about his dick size

Most people are going to assume due to an unfair, and largely untrue (on an aggregate level I’ve heard there’s very little difference in size) stereotype that the dude has at least an above average sized dick

So to me it would be completely foolish for a black person to be like “Hey, I want to set the record straight right now, I actually have a slightly below-average sized dick. And I’m actually insecure about it”

Like why TF would you do that? The perception helps you, at least go with it with strangers, even if it isn’t fair or correct. Sure, you will maybe have that convo with like a girlfriend or something if it bothers you. But there is no reason not to use people’s perception of you as a confidence boost even if you don’t agree with the reason for them having it

"confidence boost" is for people without any real substance.

real confident people are just confident because they are proud of themselves

I like to say the best way to gain confidence is to make a promise to yourself and keep it

Every time you make a promise or goal for yourself and achieve it, confidence goes up

Every time you lie to yourself, confidence goes down

Sure

But because we don’t step into life as some self-actualized perfect person (did you? Maybe you did, I sure didn’t), there are COUNTLESS times in life where we are in a situation where we have to fake it until we make it. It’s something we have all tried to do at one point or another temporarily to get through a particular encounter or event. Going through life always doing it is a recipe for disaster however

And having society put status on height whether you agree with it or not can be a (shallow) confidence reservoir that’s always available to draw on UNTIL, we reach a point of zelid52 self-actualization

To expand on this a simple analogy would be facial attractiveness

Now we all know people personally or of famous people who have very attractive faces. I’ve known one or two, and there exists some, who have no idea how objectively good looking they would be rated by others. Generally these sorts are seen as kind of like a unicorn, because in my experience both with people I know and famous people, the majority of attractive people, ESPECIALLY the very attractive, have a relatively good idea of how much it helps their interactions with people. And thus they tend to act more confident in a lot of social situations due to that knowledge

Did they earn it? Is it fair? Is it as good as the type of confidence someone would get by winning the Olympics or raising a child into a great adult person? Fuck no

Does it mean that the attractive person should just rely on only that for the rest of their life? Hellll no, but so many do. Because it’s such a handy and convenient reservoir

The fact I am acknowledging these reservoirs exist is not me saying that an attractive person shouldn’t grow a personality or accomplish goals not based on their looks. That’s completely stupid especially because looks fade in addition to looks being a cheap unearned form of status (facial anyway, physiques you work for)

So anyway, to try to deliberately ignore the things that are helping you is maybe admirable but dumb, since that does not need to become an excuse to not better oneself

So many hot takes on fb right now of people shitting on hulk hogan cause he said some bad words once and supported orange man. Literally people gleefully celebrating his death, publically. Nevermind that he poured millions of his own money into charitable endeavors over decades- he said bad words.

Same people then go to bat for confirmed illegal alien criminal gangbanger human traffickers, because "we need to understand what they've been through!!!".

Have people always been this morally retarded or am I only just noticing now?
