    I once knew a kid that did their study in 11 years... crippling debt got them in the end

    Heh, amateur. I had already achieved crippling debt by the end of my first year.

    The US obsession with being 6ft tall would be completely solved by switching to the metric system. 182,88cm doesnt have the same impact.

    I don't understand the 6 feet tall american fetish. Is it a nazi thing, where if you're shorter, you end up in a camp? Because it sounds like it. That must be the only country I know which is so fixated on height.

    Short answer yes. Long answer, yeeeeeees. Manosphere self cucks who would rather hate women than wash their own asses have made a story that men who aren’t 6ft tall with correctly angled cheekbones can’t get girlfriends because women are picky and mean. They point to the few women who have stated that they like tall men (in the same way men like different tits or ass) as if this is a stone wall consensus and validation for their hate. Now people joke and meme on it.

    It's a manosphere thing. Those guys play on the insecurity of the morons and height is one of the major paths they can take. It's something that the person can't change, therefore has the highest chance of keeping them watching until they're radicalized.

    I don't think so. Dating apps are loaded with women asking for tall. Workplaces are filled with senior positions favouring not just talent, skill and merit, but height.

    Researchers have validated the predisposition to favouring height many times. A quick search can find them. This is way older than manosphere.

    As a tall white man of moderate merit, I've been more successful in career and love than merit justifies. Just like white privilege is a thing, so is tall.

    A surprising number of my CC instructors had an inferiority complex and made their classes significantly harder than most university classes. That 4th year class load plus a full time job would be miserable.

    Heh, my English 1 instructor used to teach his 7 AM class wearing sunglasses the whole time. First session he said, "This is a required course. Let's just try to get through this as best we can, okay?"

    the community college student , some are more than 6+years there, 10-20years for the outliers. those are usually not interested in "transferring to any 4-year, or dont really have any direction in thier academic track. the cheapness makes them complacent and not trying(AN academic trap basically)

    Your insecurity is showing op. Nobody should be sad about their height.

    This right here is how toxic masculinity is done. One of its main rules is: "Men don't complain." Height privilege is real, as described by another Lemming in this thread. But a shorter man lamenting that he's on the wrong end of it is breaking the rule, so instead of sympathy, he gets told that he's defective for having a natural, human reaction.

    (Yes, I know I'm breaking the rule, too.)
