What is average intelligence these days? because average is really dumb today.

Which would you rather have? In this example they are mutually exclusive. The average American male height is 5'9. The average American IQ is 98 (that explains a lot). Your only options.... a) 5'5" tall. You are smarter than 70% of the population b) 6'5" tall. 70% of the population is smarter than you. What if I'm already taller and smarter than that average. |

No choice necessary, I already got both.
Not by your metrics, but in reality. 6'1" makes me taller than 85% of U.S. men, and the standardized testing I've taken over the years, puts me comfortably above your suggested smarter than 70%. |

You are willing to settle for only 70th percentile?

Smarter. Life is harder when you're dumb.
Of course, I've never been tall, so, it might be easier when you're tall too, but I only have one frame of reference. |

Why are guys so obsessed with their height? I have a friend who is 6'7"he is constantly referencing his height/size, works it in to every conversation. I'm 5'9" and don't ever give my height a second thought. i think only tall guys post about height in GD. at 5'9" i'm pretty close to king of manlets size. both my brothers were 6'+ as for intelligence, I'm above average but no genius. intelligence is a curse if it is unaccompanied by high EQ and strong work ethic.

neither. im short but i like my height and im already smart.
you gotta be confident in who you are. i was never particularly athletic or big but i was always liked and fairly bright. i was consistently top of my classes growing up and same in college. had a professor tell me i wrote professional, publish-grade papers at 19 and another would jokingly refer to me as "mr president." but thats the thing. i didnt do anything with it. im not some scientist or accomplished businessman. i was lazy. still am look at how i type. intelligence is a blessed thing but you have to use it. fortunately my youngest has my brains and he uses it because hes already much more accomplished than i was at his age. so for you guys who are picking intelligence, know that it isnt a default ticket to success. granted height certainly isnt either, and from my experience ive done fine with women without it. |

Short & smart.
Besides, during the Napoleonic Wars, the British army learned that given the same ratios, a 5'6" soldier will outmarch a 6' soldier. Taller soldier needs more fuel (food) to sustain himself than the shorter soldier. |
