    That’s not true. It’s just one factor. Most of the men in the world are 5’5" poor dudes. It’s not money or height.

      It’s one critical factor that, because it’s a number is easy to use as a filter.

      I don’t know about “most of the men in the world” being 5’5". It may be an average if you count a lot of developing countries with poor nutrition. But, among developed countries it’s a lot more than that. Even Japan, which is known for smaller people, has 172 cm (5’7.5") as the average.
