Vicious, I found the post you were referring to.

Quote:As for whether it even makes sense for people to make such an obvious and easily disproved exaggeration, the jury is out. We've found that taller people, up to a point, have more sex:



But as far as messages go, shorter women actually seem to get more attention:



These are the average weekly unsolicited message totals by height; you can think of these as the number of times a person is "hit on" out of the blue each week on OkCupid. a 5' 4" woman gets 60 more contacts each year than a six-footer. The genders are plotted on different scales because of the eternal fact that men almost always make the first move, so women get many more unsolicited messages.

It's plain from these two charts that women six feet or taller are either less attractive to men or are considered too intimidating to message. The data also raises the interesting possibility that these tall women are much more likely to sleep with a man who does approach them. Compare the 6' 0" woman to her 5' 4" counterpart: the taller woman gets hit on about two-thirds as much, yet has had slightly more sex partners.

Bold emphasis mine.

When I see this chart, what pops into mind is how inflated the online girl's ego is. Even the most message receiving height class guy gets under one unsolicited message per week.

This just shows how much fucking work you have to do to get out on an actual date. This doesn't even take into account how bombarded the better looking ones are.
