Do YOU think it's true that there is an inverse relationship between height and suicide rates in men?

YES

NO

A total of 110 votes were cast: 90 girls and 20 guys. See detailed results

Yes. Because a lot of short people, especially men deal with a lot of heartaches just for being short. Short men tend to be more sensitive than taller ones from what I saw. though a much taller guy is also on par with a shorter male. Simply put, it is less about height, and more to do with how sensitive the person is. We sensitive people deal with more hell than others who aren't. From personal experience, it is highly possible, besides loss of quality of life.

It's not really in question that it's true if the stats back it up that strongly

[Hangry06]

Ya ik which is why i asked if YOU people think the study is true

[kqueen]

like... do I think that the people that conducted the study lied? They're just saying there's a strong statistical correlation with possible psychological reasons. I don't know what there is to argue about with that

I would tend to think of this as a coincidence if true. But... a lot of women do seem to care a lot about height in guys, so a lot of self esteem issues could result from it (and something he has no control over). But guys usually don't focus on height like women do.

[hahahmm]

Ha... and being short obviously makes you pregnant too since shorter people are more likely to give birth.

[yofuknutz]

Well the semen gets closer to the cervix that's why men like short women

[HighValue]

Makes sense. Smaller guys are more likely to get bullied throughout their school years which can lead to suicide.

It's society that treats people who are different like shit that needs to stop

[b5fan]

Most women will not date short men. Short men are also picked on a lot in school.

[yofuknutz]

I don't know what the fuck is wrong people it is disgusting but your assessment seems to be spot on

[ChefPapiChulo]

I think there's an a converse relationship of you and donuts cause you're a fatass.

[disgustingweebtrash]

Kek. Would not surprise me.

[disgustingweebtrash]

JFL at the comments, people won't believe it unless their favourite tabloid says to them "studies show"

[Hangry06]

I triggered Papi chulo too much that he even made a question on short men LOL

[Bluemax]

Huh. In the words of Mr. Spock, "Fascinating."

[Anonymous]

Great. More incel posts. Just what gag has been missing.

[disgustingweebtrash]

The post was made by a woman and is linking a study, do you hate science?

[Hangry06]

36-45 male Anons are proof men don't mature with age XD

[FunkyMonkee]

To me, nearly everyone is short!!

[pink_and_inlove]

i really don’t think so

[Bluemax]

Where do you think the correlation comes from then?

[ThatNoUVAtYourEyes]

Sounds like rubbish to me

[Bluemax]

Where does the correlation come from in your opinion?

[ThatNoUVAtYourEyes]

@Bluemax it is trivially related, 5% and 9%, and misphrased/expressed convolutedly

[Vigors]

You came back

[Hangry06]

Have we ever interacted?

[Vigors]

I'm the pregnant one

[Hangry06]

Uhh what?

[Vigors]

Nayrr

[Hangry06]

OMG how could i? I saw Joker and wondered about you😭

[Vigors]

He resurrected me

[Gwenhwyfar]

No lol

[Bluemax]

Where do you think the correlation comes from then?

[Gwenhwyfar]

@Bluemax coincidence. I can’t believe they paid someone to study this.

[Bluemax]

I might be inclined to agree with you if the correlation was weak or the sample size is small. However this doesn't appear to be the case.

I would be inclined to think that the correlation comes from bad nutrition, which is associated with growth and depression, however the study is of Scandinavian men, so that's unlikely.

[Gwenhwyfar]

@Bluemax how do you know the correlation isn’t weak?

[Bluemax]

I'm assuming the article and study is correct, and that's exactly what the article says in the words, "There was a strong inverse association..."

Another thing I've noticed in my 22 year career as a teacher is that smaller kids *do* get bullied more (and Goodall noticed this in other primates, too). And smaller kids tend to grow up into smaller adults. And the effects on childhood bullying are well documented and can carry over into adulthood.

[silkjames]

Nope lol
