(951 posts)Check the height table. First of all, I highly doubt that a woman who is somewhat under average female height suffers any disfavorable effects that could be linked directly to her height. Actually, I recall reading studies of dating websites which indicate that shorter women are often considered more desirable than tall women. Not to mention, by the apparent logic of the height table, the advantages of being a white,straight American man with an "affluent" income are entirely cancelled out by the need to wear Tom Cruise Boots.
Also, I don't know why being Jewish is considered such a big advantage, while being Hindu is considered a major disadvantage. Going by national averages, Indian Americans have the highest median household income when you average American ethnic groups (And yes, I know that "Indian" is not a proxy for "Hindu", but I'm proceeding under the assumption that most American Hindus would be Indian).
