Heightism

Since the 1950's 0/10 presidents have been below the average adult male height of 5'9.
The chances of that occurring is less than 1%.

If Barack Obama were 5'4" it would not matter that he is a black man running for president because he would be a short man running for president. And short men don't get elected president. Because a short man is like a woman. Women don't get elected president because of their height. If women were 6'4" and men were 5'3", Women would be president all the time.

In game of thrones, I'm rooting for the dwarf. Maybe short people have a chance in fantasy worlds.

tom cruise should run for president.

heightism in politics has been around for a while. Napoleon was depicted as short by British propaganda, but in actual fact had average height.

stalin was also short but paintings of him depicted him as tall.

Abraham Lincoln knew what he was doing. tallest president + he wore a top hat to distinguish himself even more.

short mans disease, if it is real would have a big factor. If short people tend to be more butthurt about their shortness then that also affects their chances of success.

he might just be crazy enough to be a candidate.

Thats actually a good thing because short people are sneaky.

problem?

A survey of Fortune 500 CEO height in 2005 revealed that they were on average 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) tall, which is approximately 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) taller than the average American man. 30% were 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) tall or more; in comparison only 3.9% of the overall United States population is of this height. Similar surveys have uncovered that less than 3% of CEOs were below 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) in height. Ninety percent of CEOs are of above average height.

Taller men are more likely to be married and have children than shorter men

Childless bachelors are significantly shorter than married men

Those with children were, on average, 1.2 inches taller than childless men

Married men were an average of 1 inch taller than bachelors

Thank god my 5' 8" self doesn't even want to get married

Where are all the midget hobos?

Napoleon was 5'7", which was one inch above average height at that time for the French. Not 5'4", like the propaganda. Still, though, taller than me! However, it's tall people who rail on short people, so there must be some insecurity issue going on there.

My buddy is like 5'5" and he gets more cunt than he can handle. He's asian though. I think these things don't apply to asians.

It probably relates to confidence somehow. More so than just straight bias.

I was thinking the same

there is a study that explains why taller men are more successful??

Being short has a lot of advantages, except in a fist fight which only really happens if you let it.
Need less food, nimbler, better in gunfights, fit into cars better the list goes on.

This is a true thing.
Also I am 6ft white male, in shape and moderately attractive.
