Thats what happens when we are all bored at work and distracted by ‘bro speak’. I’m drawn to it like a moth to the flame.

When you look at the statistics, I think men are just as much to blame. I think there are plenty of women that think 6’2" is fairly common for example. They get this idea that 6’ is the cutoff, but what they’ve been told is 6’ is somewhere between 5’8" and 5’10".

Apparently you’re not the only one LOL.
@mnben87 you really wanted to go into that, huh?

Not statistics about hypergamy, men’s height distribution.
I have a hard time believing that a popular physical standard is something less than 15% of men have. Just a gut feeling that the standard for what is tall enough in person is less than 6’ for most women. It’s just that because of lying, women think 6’ is less than it is, and therefore a more reasonable standard that many men meet.
If you think that standard is bad, men’s lying has created other crazy standards. I met a woman who for some reason told me two of her previous partners were packing over 9". I told her I’d bet my house she was lied to.

Honestly can’t tell if you’re not recognizing the irony here, or if you’re just team full send on this whole height thing.
Anyways… I wonder if OP has tried eating Cool Whip in the morning to help him bulk

Full send on the tangent.
I haven’t seen much from OP lately. I figured, no harm. I’ll cut it out though.

the meme one does not out eat tren is real, especially at 600 mg (unless you are hank)
I was hoping he replied to my advice

I never give any advice expecting any of it to be appreciated. I throw it out. You accept it or not. I don’t care. I will defend my opinions, but that is all.
I suppose I was trained to work. My job was to provide data analysis and make recommendations. I got paid whether management took it or not. I never took rejection personally. In fact I felt no different if they liked the advice.

I’d have made the same money regardless of my initiative. But I expected to be paid. I never expected appreciation. If you expect appreciation and don’t get it you feel unappreciated. Don’t expect it, then no harm, no foul. When I left work, I left everything at work. It will still be there tomorrow morning.
And on the forum, I don’t expect to be appreciated. Just something to consider.

I am not saying that you should stop trying to help. I never stopped trying to help at work. That was who I was. What I am saying is that you should never expect to be thanked. You might be criticized, but what about the silent person you might be helping.
Keep being who you are! In doing so, you might help someone.
Here’s an additional thought on how I helped management. I would have a meeting and make recommendations. They didn’t accept it. I said thank you for your time. That is, I gave them space. The next meeting I might make a little headway. Is some cases I would have them eventually accept my recommendations. I was there to help. Not to receive appreciation. I understood data and how to analyze it in ways they did not. I didn’t pound them with it. I spoon fed them.

The art of persuasion is valuable. Here is a thought for forum posts: When addressing management it would be a total waste of time if I only gave them the link to a study. I had to be able to make a condensed paragraph or two (less than one page double spaced) in a language that they understood. All had some basic Six Sigma exposure and had some familiarity with statistics, where the terms were not foreign but still needed explanation. Spoon feed.

Occam’s razor says this is an unlikely scenario.
We did have a guy on T-Nation that lied or exaggerated about his knowledge or stats. He had a height that was about 4 inches taller than he actually was. He also had an endocrinology degree that didn’t exist.
I don’t know if either of you were around for physioLojik ? He did know somewhat what he was talking about, and had a good physique. He was also a con artist. He conned a few people here to by programs, that ended up being programs John Meadows wrote. He sold them for considerably more than John did. John actually confirmed that the programs came from him on this site.
So that guy had a reason to be dishonest. He was selling consultations, and programs. His name came out here, and a quick google search showed that the guy had a long track record of conning people.
I had to learn this lesson at my last job. My presentations were too technical. I forget that people don’t all understand basic physics, or even how to understand fairly basic graphs (or at least I thought they were basic).
There is at least one patent that I could have had my name on (and gotten an extra $1000 in my paycheck) that was lost because I wasn’t great at explaining things.

Thanks for the hat tip. I caught a lot of hell for that warning. As a matter of fact I was suspended over it. Nice to see that my suspicion was valid. I am sorry to hear that some guys were taken by him

White people are underrepresented in the USA when it comes to mass murdering. That may be surprising, but it is true.
I guess mass murder is different than serial killing though.
Really?
Shithead comment deserves shithead treatment.
I’ve heard an argument that the observed upward trend of mass murder and downward trend of serial killing has to do with improved forensic science making the latter non-viable.
Which, if nothing else, is fascinating.

Yea, well… in places like Eastern Europe serial killers were never popular even tho the people here are much more brutal. Its just that even the “good ones” are brutal. I have watched a lot about different serial killers and its just that the stuff they do would never work, but… It is a fact that technology has made serial killing almost impossible. Nowdays you practically cant even scratch your nuts without someone getting it on camera somewhere and making a video. Even in my backwards country we have enough cameras that we can catch drunk tourists who pee on some monuments.
A few months back there was a video where a dude chased off a bear with a car. Like he drove, and the bear ran away. Nothing else in the video as just the video from inside the car and a bear running. They still caught the guy, and he had to pay a huge penalty far disturbing the bear.
If you cant even pee in a park without getting a penalty, how is one supposed to kill and rape 70 people in few years.
But this is the moment when i love technology. Violence is good, but it has to stay in a ring or any place where people consent to it. Outside that, violence should be punished in a hardest way possible.
Yes, I believe so. I was speaking to his comment of being a bit naive, perhaps it is too trusting. Maybe it is more so those that had it easy growing up.
Obviously not all white Americans but, it is always the same story of how the killers lured their victims. They pretended to need help of some kind and the victim followed them down a dark alley or a location away from witnesses.
I do not know any person in the hood who would fall for that. We definitely would not go alone. I am not trusting any stranger and the situation did present itself a few times growing up.
Maybe I watch/listen to too many true crime shows but, it is almost always white people being got.
