Guys let’s not pretend that him being taller and more stereotypically handsome would’ve hurt his “achievements”.

It would’ve of course helped.

The fact that height and stereotypical beauty standards are not the only things that matter does not change that on average they have a significant positive impact.

The point is that stereotypical beauty standards, while they matter, they matter less than one would think when it comes to a hetero man approaching a hetero woman.

Give women some credit. Confidence and fun are way better heuristics than a strong jawline on a neurotic wreck.
