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. |

height.
as long as you keep your mouth shut no one knows the difference but height goes a long way in a lot of things and I imagine being 5'5" would be terrible |
|
|
Being 6' 1" I imagine it would really suck to be 5' 5"
Size matters. |

I'm already above average intelligence. My height is just fine. I've got enough money. I'm not married to a supermodel though.

A.
Brains get you money. Once you have money nobody gives a shit how tall you are (unless you are a midget). Then again I am almost 6' tall and have a 140+ IQ (at least when I was tested over 20 years ago) and I am broke as a joke. Maybe I am just a statistical outlier. |

Tall. Its really not fun being smart. Being tall, at least you will get tail...

50% of the people you meet today will be of below average intelligence.

They don't pay me for being tall.
Also, having spent a lot of time on ships and boats, there has not been a single day on board that I wished I was taller. Quite the opposite, a number of times. |
|
Hell, 5'5" is 6" taller than I am right now, so in your poll options I get both!

I asked a girl what does she prefer, height or brains? She said money

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. |

Funny thing is the only time I notice people's height is when they are under 5', abnormally tall or they are a compensating little man (short guys who are all buff and walk with their chest puffed out and flexing their arms). Most people in the 5' to 6'5" range, it doesn't even really register. |

I'd rather be able to lift like a meat machine and run like a kenyan before being any taller, and I'm already smarter than you lot
|
|
How about being a 6 footer, and having shorter guys managing the accounts of dopey basketball players?
|
|
Intelligence for sure, being tall won't get you anywhere unless you're an athlete

I mean, is it kibble or canned? I asked the lady at PetSmart and she just got angry at me like I was already supposed to know. |
|
Hell, I am already short and used to that.. I could be smarter though....
|
|
I'll take brains. You can pet the rabbits, Lennie.

50% of the people you meet today will be of below average intelligence. View Quote This assumes intelligence is a random distribution among the people you're around. This might be the case if you work in some sort of customer service job. But if you work in some sort of STEM job, probably not. Or it could be the reverse for workers at a special-ed school. |

I saw a video about the Special Air Service. One of the old school instructors said something like "Always watch out for the short guys."
|

I'm 6'3". My brains have never gotten me laid, but reaching items on the top shelf has.

It's ARFCOM. Get both.
Wait, I already have both. (6'4, 140 I.Q. tested ) Suck it. |
|
I'll take A. I'm 5'5" 3/4 at my last physical I've gotten used to being short.
|
|
I am in the middle on this. I am 5'8" and IQ in the lower 130's. While it would suck being any shorter than I already am, being dumber would suck more.
