Height does not effect my day to day life in anyway and people make way too much of it, personally I think being short builds character.
The earning more thing I find highly suspect, you need to define short and tall then take random samples based on the general height of the population...there's a lot to be debated in this.
As to the "find a mate" thing, no ****...
But you know what? I like women with large breasts does this mean I will spit in the face of anyone who doesn't measure up to my ideal? Of course not, as corny as this may sound tits don't have the best conversation so while I may have things that I like I don't have requirements and everyone (men especially) is like that. Everyone has their preferences but they're fluid, how many tweens are frigging themselves stupid over Justin Beiber right now? You think they give a **** he's only two feet tall?
There is one thing I kind of resent and that's the notion of "short man syndrome" that short people are aggressive because of some kind of insecurity. The fact is short people are generally faster to throw a punch is because we're more accustomed to actually having to fight, we can't simply stand up shrug out shoulders and say "what you gonna do?" we actually have to do something and the more you stand your ground the more that hesitation to avoid any conflict at any cost wares thin.
If you've got some moron who's looking for trouble and he's got a choice of picking a fight with 5'4 me or my 6'5 friend who do you think he's going to go for? It's not my fault that I've become proficient in breaking noses I'd of much rather not had any of those fights so excuse me for the fact that the majority of people are full of **** or complete cowards.
