A follow-up question could have been: Studies indicate that individuals of greater height are more susceptible to certain cancer types. This is thought to be because taller individuals have a larger number of cells, and thus, a higher number of cells that could potentially turn cancerous. For every additional 5 cm in height, there is an increased risk for six specific types of cancer.

The delusion is real. It is so sad to see a society going backwards.

[@Razear]

"If they're around my height, I don't really see them as a man." Crazy how women can just throw out blanket statements like this criticizing an immutable characteristic... Imagine if a guy made the same statement about a woman's weight despite her being able to fully control it. And the funny thing is, it's almost always very petite women who will impose these standards. Heightism is one of the most socially accepted forms of overt discrimination that goes unchecked, which is mind-blowing because it's essentially genetic prejudice. We collectively frown upon racism as a society, but disparaging someone for being vertically challenged is okay when-just like race-it's completely out of their control? "I don't think it's the food because I ate well when I was little, too." Nutrition does play a role, but genetics are the most important factor (i.e., tall parents tend to have tall kids and vice versa). Growth hormones only work before a person's growth plates are fused. You can inject an adult with as much HGH as you want, but it won't result in any changes to their stature post-puberty. And it's something that requires a doctor's prescription. They are typically only used with children who have a hormonal imbalance. Leg-lengthening surgery is _never_ worth it. The patient is guaranteed to suffer from a lifetime of pain and mobility issues. Unless you think gaining 4" in height is worth spending every waking hour miserable, don't do it.

[@leanlifer]

[@Kabra2012]

If you're an unattractive rich dude, girls will date you over more attractive guys for the money. They'll also probably go behind your back with the attractive guys at every opportunity, or just leave you for a better prospect - and tbh, you'd only have your own rich self to blame for that Legitimately, the best thing you can do when dating is to be the best version of yourself in all areas. Be social, be educated, be mature, be kind, find the joy in your life rather than expecting a partner to do it for you. That's your starting line. If you're not "attractive", get fit + learn how to style + clean up to the best of your ability. If you're not rich, at least develop a clear sense of financial discipline and have tangible goals that you are working towards. Making dating a numbers game will, at best, get you dates with fickle shallow partners who will leave you feeling even worse off - or at worst, will make you the kind of amoral person that you're perfect match wouldn't even want to share a space with. Better to strike out 9 times out of 10 for the sake of that 1 out of 10 who really matters, than to score 9 times out of 10 and still wind up alone. Allowing superficial thoughts to guide you through the dating world will leave you in the latter spot.

[@개고기수프]

Mongolians are not East Asians, they are North Asians. They are genetically different, just like Southern Europeans and Northern Europeans are different. Italians in Sardinia are only 172cm, but Dutch are 182cm. According to a survey by the Chinese Education Bureau and Sports Bureau in 2019, 19-year-olds in seven provinces in northern China are over 176cm tall, with the highest in Heilongjiang Province reaching 178cm. Central Chinese and Koreans are 174cm, and Cantonese and Japanese are both 170cm. If China's economy can reach the level of South Korea, northern Chinese will be much taller than Koreans.

[@개고기수프]

@@Umenhrirnen No, North Asians are almost all shorter than East Asians. In the east of Asia, North China is the center, and the farther away from this center, the shorter the people are. Southeast Asians and North Asians are much shorter than North Chinese. Although the economy of Mongolia is much less developed than that of North China, Mongolia is a nomadic people and does not lack protein. Therefore, Mongolians are much less affected by the economy than East Asians. Koreans have more North Asian genes than North Chinese, so Koreans are shorter than North Chinese. Although North China lags behind South Korea economically, the height of North Chinese young people has surpassed that of South Koreans.

[@johnhimal5913]

Guys it's not about north,south,cold, hot weather . When the area is plain without hills, mountains and ppl get good nutrition for a couple of generations,they will become tall. Now Sichuan,guizhou provinces are mostly hilly regions of china. Ppl there will with good nutrition become surely taller but won't become taller than ppl from bohai region or shandong province because shandong province is mostly plain. Now only 14 percent of china is plain comparing India's 45 percent. With development and good nutrition,Indians will be surely taller than Chinese. Southeast Asians are shorter because they have mostly hilly places and most of them lacked good nutrition until recently.

I'm very supporting of things like physical standards such as height for women, because I believe there's no need for a relationship if physical attraction is absent and some women genuinely can't be attracted to someone shorter than them (same with men and tall women btw) Buuuuut I think putting so much strain on a certain height is kinda nonsensical and saying "They aren't men" is going far. What difference does it make if someone is already taller than you? It's as dumb as men saying they can't date someone past a certain age when there isn't a difference or pulling out the "how much do you weight" bit as though the amount of pounds they pull on a scale is more important than the fact that they look attractive anyway

[@nardnivar1862]

Height & other physical aspects, like being fair-skinned, are merely external features. Attaching importance to these, seems petty & superficial to fret about.

Height or money Which one u will choose??

[@realtalk6195]

Telling people you're 5 ft 9 when you're 5 ft 7 isn't fooling anybody. That region of height is pretty easy to tell because there's so many of us who are actually 5 ft 8 or 5 ft 9 or 5 ft 10.

wtf... it was a mistranslation. in korea, they say "do you see her as a woman" like "do you vieww her as a potential lover" same thing when she said "i don't really see them as a man" she meant she doesn't see them as a potential lover. you're gross for saying this. so disrespectful for no reason, grow up.

The biggest difference I've noticed is how the new generations have grown. First visited Korea in the early '00s. I'm 5' 10" and felt more tallish than average. In the States, I felt more average to shortish. (Except, don't go to the upper Midwest. I felt like a midget visiting Chicago.) The last few times at the airport (2019) I felt pretty average. Lots of dudes were way taller than me as well.
