Submit this for an IgNobel. It’s also funny cause it’s mocking this BS in such a good natured wonderfully overdone way. Guy in my college house who got laid the most was on the shorter side, poor, and kind of acted effeminate at times to the point that people mistook him for gay. Never saw his wing wong so maybe it was like ten inches but I doubt it. He was also kind and not a jerk and did not act like an “alpha male…

Exact opposite of the point they made, brother. Worth a reread and think depending on your headspace.

I've got a couple of methodological qualms with this article, but I do agree that in this case we should follow the spirit not the letter, so I'll keep them to myself.

Unfortunately the effort is likely lost on the people who most need to understand it. It's very hard to reason someone out of a position they didn't get into via reason.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> "men catching up with women when it comes to dumb anxieties" It's weird to watch all those fans of patriarchy step right into their own trap. Didn't they get the memo that this stuff was set up to control women? Or is it just a reflection of how these self-proclaimed "alphas" secretly see their own proper place as subjugated by men higher up in the hierarchy?

It’s all very obvious hysteria that parodies itself loudly. It’s also a big con. Andrew Tate might be an abuser of women but his big marks are men. Look at how much money he makes selling that BS to insecure guys. That was his whole schtick as he rose to fame. I suspect the manosphere stuff is designed to make men repellent to women to keep them hooked on it. If you find a girlfriend you might not pay $25K to attend…

It doesn't have to be designed, can be an emergent survival property. Wholesome and helpful dating advice just never builds a cult of loners.

I am curious why is height important? Understandably, income affects the lifestyle and opportunities, but what does height affect? What changes if you are several inch taller or shorter? I cannot understand.

Also, why those who care about height so much do not go for basketball players?

Also, the picture with income graph says "household income", not "personal income".

The three six rule is a low bar for dating: you should also have a 6 pack. If you only want three sixes, here are 666 cents I keep in my pocket!

The night I met my wife I had just bought a whole case, so the six pack thing probably works too.

This is solid reporting: > A 6" wiener is even rarer than being 6' tall. The average erect penis length is 5.166" with a std dev of 0.654".

The data cannot be right. Is the average penis really that small in the states ?

That's the male equivalent of women asking why men care about boobs and body count. The answer is "evolved intuition", like it or not.

> I am curious why is height important?

It's a common aesthetic preference, similar to liking large breasts.

Some of them certainly do. But there aren't very many professional basketball players.
