I never understood why men care about height so much. I voted for the latter one because it describes me. I've never felt inferior in any way.

You can wear a wig or get a hair transplant if you are bald. Do you know how much pain you have to go through to get taller? That's not an operation you want to go through lmao.

I remember 10 years ago when the self reported average salary of everyone here was like $200k.
To be fair, it was mostly guys just out of college. You wouldn't have expected them to be making real money back then. :p

i suppose having a human soul is very important.
because otherwise i cant explain why i was 6'4" and with shoulder-length hair and yet couldn't score to save my life.

Unless of course you sit down.

Good point. I guess if one knows a tall guy who never seems to sit down, one knows what conclusion to draw.

My impression is that short guys get a rougher deal from women than do bald guys. Seems to me that bald men do just fine as long as they are out-and-proud about it. Whereas any personals/dating site seems to show many women are prejudiced against short guys.

I'm not usually one to see male-victimhood, but I do think it's hypocritical for a woman to express a lack of interest in shorter dudes while getting outraged if any man says they don't find overweight women attractive. I don't see how that stance is defensible.

But any short guy should move to the US, where the average height is lower than Europe (and that gap is increasing, I believe, though I should probably check first). Stay away from the Netherlands. Tallest people in Europe. Clearly it's natural-selection - they must have evolved to be tall there due to so much of the country being below sea-level.

I just wish madoka were still around. :(

he was like a moth drawn to the P&N flame, he couldn't help himself

i gotta admit the dude was seriously strange. buying 100 of the same type of expensive pistol? buying tens of thousands of dollars of legos just to spend the money? working 80-hour weeks making over a million a year, yet spending nearly all of his money and only having enough saved to support himself for a couple months if he lost his job?

very weird. but highly entertaining.

ATOT's mean income probably went down by a couple hundred grand after he got banned.

Woah had no idea that happened.

This place is like Russia sometimes, don't question the leaders or disagree with them or you're off to gulag!
