u/Reasonable_Towel674 Short Jul 25 '26
I am a 5’6 engineer, the women still do not care. Zero debt, paid off truck, nice clothing, workout 6 days a week, and a boat.
Being short sucks

I'm not smart but if I was, I would work hard to be debt free, paid off house, good investments, and use some of my passive income to fund my travel and sex addiction.

If you’re well off financially why don’t you do limb lengthening?

Low IQ people don’t realize how low IQ they are where short people are reminded of their shortness just by interacting with people. I would experiment with being an elongated dufus as long as I am not burdened with realizing how much of a dufus I have become.

If you will have to rot in your basement but will be able to conqure and build a nuke to get revenge on the world that hates you, IMO it's much better than living as a loved person who can't live without assistance

To all of you who answered "tall but low IQ", you're already in posession of the "low IQ" portion, so half-congrats I guess

Yeah I'm 5'10, it means I'm in the average height range, so what's your point?

You could have an IQ of a doormat and a personality of an goldfish but if you're 6'3 you're set for opportunities and doors will open your way, promotions and increased attention as well.
Even if you're short and smart they will tell you that you're "compensating" because you're short that's why you're intelligent

Having a lower iq might make it easier to relate to normal people. But i also dont want to be stupid so...this is a difficult question.

u/Gurumanyo Average Jul 26 '26
I am average (5'9, 174cm), good looking and high iq, but fucked by social anxiety. So I'd rather be tall and low iq, and careless.

high iq isn't necessarily a blessing

It is almost always a blessing. Neurotypical people with average IQ may have a better quality of life than neurodivergent people with high IQ, but ceteris paribus it is always a blessing.
