Isnt being a body builder at 6'5 tough as hell?
It's a little harder for sure, but it looks very superhero-like after the long frame is filled out. Most aren't willing to take time to do it though.

Just because you're tall.
If you would be 5'2 you make a different statement.

I'm over 6 feet and I've never been a CEO, am I an underachiever?

People also laugh at us when we bang our heads on doorways in Japan, so there's that.

We average men have absolutely zero chance
. Personally I think it nonsense to be blamed and criticised for something you have little control over. I was always athletic and played sports in high school, but the gene pool wasn't working in my favour. Do we blame black people for the colour of their skin, or Orientals for the way their eyes appear?

I don't know. I'd rather be good looking. Most women are short anyways.
I've seen lots of good looking smaller guys getting the best girls.

Is there prejudice against taller or bigger people in Japan?
I've noticed that in some traditional japanese local food markets around here they don't seem to appreciate my presence... they treat me as if I'm taking too much space, lol.

Surprised me when I read that Link from good mythical morning is 6foot tall, next to Rhett he looks so short. Rhett is 6’7 so makes sense just crazy the difference it makers as a viewer

My last CEO was freakishly tall and so were most directors. Most of the time, the taller presidential candidate has a statistical edge.
And not to mention dating selection. People wonder why men lie about their height on dating apps, but it's a very real selection bias weeding you out if you're average or under, that would be why!

In all seriousness, the CEO is the top Alpha Male in an organization. No one should be surprised that unless they are literally the company's founder, in which case height obviously won't matter, a CEO will be on average an unusually tall well groomed smooth faced white male. You look at guys like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Jensen Huang, none of those guys are tall but they are also the founders so no one gonna say shit.
So the solution to being a CEO if you're not tall is obvious: Found your own goddamn company then!

I feel so discriminated against with my 5'8.
Tall people, have you tried being less tall?
I think that would really help me out.

Think you’re in the high 90th percentile for height from my quick googling depending on source. Like 96-99th percentile.

I understand big guys gas out fukking quick with all that mass I wouldn't wanna be taller than like 6'2" and that's really pushing it
6'5" here and same. I'd like to be 6'0" even. Still tall but can actually fit in economy class.
6'1 here.
Me in a crowd at an event: Yes, fuck yes!
Me on an airplane: Fuck this.
Overall though 6'1 or 6'2 is pretty much the sweet spot. Not too tall to be truly awkward, but enough to get a bit of a masculinity boost.
Actually, here's a height question - I'm halfway between 6'1 and 6'2. Are you supposed to round up or down? Either way I identify as 6'1 though lol

Round down on government & medical forms.
Round up on dating sites and even add an inch maybe.

6' 3'' here, where is the line for me to sign up for an open CEO spot? Willing to start at low six-figures.
edit: can echo the sentiment that traveling pretty much anywhere sucks ass though.

No, people just love slaptick humor.
Not sure why you're getting shade at the market, but I doubt it's because you're tall. Some Japanese feel uncomfortable talking with non-Japanese, but you can just shrug it off.
I'm an inch shorter than you and I don't have money lol.... /sigh
These numbers do seem to make sense. Most of the big wigs I've known/seen were at least 6ft. Maybe the idea to promote someone might be a mental thing as well. You don't want to promote someone you look down to?

I'm 5,7 and bald. I was still able to fuck women I thought were out of my range while also dealing with depression. You simply can not let physical attributes keep you down in life. There is no net positive for you in life to constantly be worried about shit you can't change. All you can do is keep the train going and be the best possible version of yourself.
Sure, beautiful people will always have an unfair advantage against us normies, but we can't let our insecurities consume us into a terrible existence.

I cant believe you did this
Same, and also some people’s eyes are lower on their face than others sometimes thanks to a bigger forehead. So I’ll be “looking up”at a friend eye to eye even though we’re the same height.
