A 5cm decrease in height = 9% increase in suicide risk

  1. Magnusson, P.K., Gunnell, D., Tynelius, P., Davey Smith, G. and Rasmussen, F., 2005. Strong inverse association between height and suicide in a large cohort of Swedish men: evidence of early life origins of suicidal behavior?. American Journal of Psychiatry, 162(7), pp.1373-1375.

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15994722

    A 5-cm increase in height was associated with a 9% (95% confidence interval [CI]=7%–12%, p < 0.0001) decrease in suicide risk. The effect of height changed little after adjustment for parental socioeconomic index or the participant’s body mass index

    There are several explanations for our findings. First, psychological stress and disrupted family life in childhood impair growth (6) and may increase susceptibility to mental illness and suicidal behavior in later life (7). Short stature may be associated with a greater risk of psychosis (8), which in turn influences suicide risk. However, associations were not attenuated by excluding subjects with psychiatric diagnoses at conscription. Short individuals are more likely to be in a low social class as adults, independent of their childhood social class (9). Low social class is associated with a greater risk of suicide (10). In a subset of subjects, however, we found that educational level, a marker of socioeconomic position, had little effect on the associations. Marriage protects against suicide (11), and short individuals may be less likely to marry than taller ones (12). Marital status only weakly confounded the associations. Low weight gain in infancy may also be a risk factor for suicide in adult life (13). Finally, short children tend to have lower levels of intelligence and may suffer stigmatization and discrimination (9, 14).

There’s no other worse defect in men than height and that’s a fact.

1  genetically_cursed 2018-05-01

1  showercel 2018-05-01

More like they just say he's 'short' and by 'short' they mean 5'9".

1  clarityphoenix 2018-05-01

Roasties will never defend short men. Short men have a always been publicly discriminated, humiliated and shamed. It's happened to me and many others :( it's rough out there brah

1  efeenes74 2018-05-01

I get your pain. Ironic that the social justice warrior feminist nazi hating self righteous know it alls of the internet get triggered over the tiniest things while they ignore the amount of hate short men get.

My hyperpromiscous slut ex wife is now reduced to dating a 5' 3" subhuman. Now that she's almost forty and a single mom. You too could be that lucky guy.

1  supermentalcel 2018-05-01

fuck

1  Mest666 2018-05-01

7ft 11 = 0%, 5 ft 11 = 100%

1  dumbkidaccount 2018-05-01

im 5'11 so what are the chances?

1  sipulistimus 2018-05-01

2(200 - Your height) - 3Facial attractiveness - 0.5 * frame.

So if you're 180cm and you're an incel with a 3/10 face and an average frame your chance of suicide would be 2(200 - 180) - 33 - 0.5*5 = 28.5%

1  dumbkidaccount 2018-05-01

3/10 face? You are being generous

1  sipulistimus 2018-05-01

Nah, the lower ratings are for deformed faces, which you probably don't have.

1  dumbkidaccount 2018-05-01

Thats a relief

Height height height, I would see how would you talk about height if you had a 5 inch dick and less.

1  supermentalcel 2018-05-01

?????

1  Bloody69Hell 2018-05-01

Looking for your opinions!

In an average Western country, being an average-everything else person, what natural height (no insoles, etc.) would you say is required:

  • To meet the necessary minimum height to be more-or-less comfortable/no discriminated?

  • To have a very comfortable height to be decently confident?

  • Is the best height?

My word:

  • 5'11

  • 6

  • 6'3

Basically, minimum for female attraction, average, top-sexy

1  Just_Fucking_Lol 2018-05-01

Lol your just saying 6'3" is the best height because you are that, IMO 6'2" is the best height (Coincidentally mine) cuz even modelling agencies have said they won't consider someone who is 6'3" or taller.

1  Bloody69Hell 2018-05-01

Ok 6.25 breee

1  supermentalcel 2018-05-01

yep, i agree with those heights. 6'0 is a special height because women can then brag about their bf being 6 foot to their friends, but if their bf was 5'11 they could not

“Marriage protects against suicide (11), and short individuals may be less likely to marry than taller ones (12). Marital status only weakly confounded the associations.”

The link is weak to incels. All the other factors are psychological and socioeconomic.

1  someblokexd 2018-05-01

lol and swedish people are some of the tallest people in the world. im a 5'6 turbo manlet jfl
