6 feet tall

It's the new definition of a woman "not settling"

And has led to many run through women and cat ladies in the last 5 years.

Women....if you are listening....men do not behave the same way as women.

Just because you can get a guy to sleep with you, doesn't mean that same man will commit to you.

Men will sleep with just about anything that is not overly fat.

The term slump buster exists for a reason.

But when you are asking a man to commit to marriage, put himself at risk for all the pain and misery that comes with divorce and legally chain himself to you......

a man who is a 10 is not going to settle for a woman who is a 5.

The sexual liberation movement has led to many a cat lady because it has given women the delusion that she can rope the same kind of man into a relationship and marriage as will willingly hop into her bed after she swipes right on tinder.


Lol now do divorce rate and average length of marriage.

I'm short, fat and ugly! If I had to submit myself to modern degenerative dating techniques, that would be my headline. Thankfully I am married to a mean and bossy redhead that is shorter than I am.

Good comment. At 6'6", I agree with basically all of it. I'm as tall as I'd like to be unless I magically acquired athletic skill.

I think some of this is right. I only recently became familiar with the 6-6-6 thing. It wasn't around when I was dating. I only check 2 boxes at the moment.

I too would like a woman with a 6 figure income.

But she also needs to have a face like Natalie Portman, no less than D cups, and be able to cook.

If this sounds like a ****ty way to approach finding a partner it's because it 100% is.

And ladies, if by chance you find a 6-6-6 man, be assured you will have to keep him happy all the time because he will be approached by every female who is willing to satisfy whatever fantasies you aren't fulfilling.

Just like if I dated Margot Robbie.
approached by every female?

You make it sound like 6-6-6 automatically makes you a decaprio or a Pitt.


That's my point. I'm only using the criteria or "rule" some woman came up with.

By this logic anyone is desirable as long as…
6 feet tall…check
6 figure income…check
6-pack abs…check

Abusive? Doesn't matter
Drug user? Doesn't matter
Pedophile? Doesn't matter

70% of divorces are initiated by women.

That figure goes up to 90% if you only count college educated women.

The number one reason for filing for divorce is "irreconcilable differences" which means there was no abuse in the relationship and the woman just decided to quit.

Women as a group are destroying their own families and then expect sympathy for doing so and this bad behavior gets reinforced by other women to the point that it is toxic.

The number one predictor of incarceration, drug use, and lack of education......is the lack of a father in the home. When it is the father raising the children and there is no mother in the home, the outcomes for children are statistically the same as they are for housholds where the parents remain together. Fathers are alot more important than women seem to think....ya know if you care about the wellbeing of your kids.

Statistics show that women are hurting their own children and causing harm to society through their poor behavioral choices.

They bragged in the 90's that women no longer needed men and have structured the family courts and reinforced behavior that denigrated and diminished the role of men in society as well as the family and labeled typical masculine behavior as toxic in order to discourage boys from seeking out strong male role models.

as a result society has devolved to a point where women THEMSELVES are less safe than they have been in decades.

Women have pushed away men consistently ovet the last 4 decades and in 5 years 60% of women over the age of 30 will be single. Many will be childless and substituting a family for fur babies. Life gets awfully lonely when your 60 and you are caring for your 90 year old parents and you have no other family to turn to.

And women have done it to themselves.

There.

There.
I have no statistics to quote but I do see people in the raw (no pun intended) and between friends, acquaintances, relatives, and lots of patients, 99% of the time I've seen the woman "quit" the relationship is because they've got someone else lined up that they think is an upgrade.

Men aren't any better (most men don't want the divorce and are happy with screwing around).

As a doctor I would have thought you would want to make factual arguments

"Your whole...well from the 100 or so people who I know and they are always honest with me it's both sexes that are to blame."

Is not a really good data point.

But let's examine really hard if both sexes are to blame...and now that homosexual marriage is legalized we can do that
...if it is REALLY the men and their poor behavior that cause divorces.....well then let's do a statistical control for men and their "poor behavior"

1) in men and women the divorce rate is hovering around 60-65%
2) when men are removed from the equation and we examine only a lesbian marriages the divorce rate ticks up slightly.......72%.
3) however when WOMEN are removed from the equation the divorce rate decreases dramatically....gay men in the US have only a 28% divorce rate.

If men were the problem the rate of divorce in gay marriages would be similar to that of married hetero couples or even higher.

In reality we see the reverse. When it's just women in a relationship they divorce almost 3/4 of the time.

But yeaaaaah.....it's totally men and their poor behavior causing the problems.

If we would just be better women would be waaay happier in their relationships and would not divorce us.....especially those lesbian women who are not married to us.

Perception though is good. I met my daughter's first serious boyfriend a couple months ago. I was wearing my boots so that added a couple and when we walked up to each other the street had a slope and I was on the upper side. Her boyfriend is 6'2" and plays college sports. The angle was perfect - she told me afterward that he said "you told me your dad was 6'4" but he looked 6'8" at minimum" - only thing better would have been if I had my shotgun out!

Long clear arteries and veins will live longer than short blocked arteries and veins. So, a small obese terrier likely dies before a trim cardiovascular healthy lab.

Interesting question! Perplexity says you are maybe correct!

do tall humans have shorter lifespans than short humans

Research suggests that shorter individuals may live longer than taller ones. Studies indicate that shorter people often have lower rates of diet-related illnesses, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and require fewer calories due to smaller body size[1][4][5]. Taller individuals, on the other hand, face increased risks of cancer and other conditions due to having more cells, which may increase exposure to free radicals[2][5]. However, some studies challenge this, finding only weak or inconsistent correlations between height and lifespan[3][6]. Overall, the relationship remains complex and influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors.

Ai to the rescue!

what is the cutoff for short and tall

The cutoff for "short" and "tall" varies depending on the population and context. Globally, the average height for men is about 5'7.5" (171 cm), and for women, it is 5'3" (159 cm)[2][4]. In the U.S., the average male height is 5'9" (175 cm), and female height is 5'3.5" (161 cm)[3][5]. Heights significantly below or above these averages (e.g., more than one standard deviation) are often considered "short" or "tall." For example, in a normal distribution, heights under 5'4" (163 cm) or over 6'0" (183 cm) for men may be labeled as such[2].

I went to MEPS when I was 17, almost 18, and they measured me at 5'7". Then I was 5'8" when I was 19 in Iraq. We came back to Germany when I was 20 and they put me down for 5'9". So it took me twenty years to get to my adult height.

Not uncommon in young men. Girls stop much earlier. I grew over a full inch more during my freshman year in college.
