Height, tallness and not being a shortarse.
I think there have actually been studies on this, taller (men) and better looking (both genders, but women especially) people tend to get given more jobs, thought of as being more competent ans generally do better in the world of work.

So really you have been either very lucky, or very good to get as far as you have, repulsive dwarf that you are.

I also think being a cunt helps, so maybe that's how you make up for it, again studies I cannot be bothered to look up or link have shown that a lot of successful business people have a lot in comment with psychopaths, indeed could be said to be psychopaths, albeit well disciplined clever ones.

*makes bet with self that Dozer will mention Patrick Bateman if he hasn't already.

So, to recap: you're short, you're ugly, you're a cunt and this is why it's OK that you are considerably richer than me.

I'm good actually.
finally getting over this never-ending cold I think, managed to ride to work 2 days running without exhausting myself to the point of being bed-ridden, so all is good. Life is good in general acually, although I am starting to worry about what to get people for xmas, but if that's the sum of my worries, I'm laughing.

Whilst I appreciate the sentiment you are conveying here, I would question the existence of these 'studies'
Also, it seems there are a disproportionate amount of successful shortarses, probably to do with them feeling they have something to prove.

Yeah, they do tend to be cocky little wankers, don't they?
Tall people tent to be much more chilled in general.

There are definitely articles on the attractiveness angle:
www.psychologytoday.com/blog/games-primates-play/201203/the-truth-about-why-beautiful-people-are-more-successful
and the height one:
www.livescience.com/5552-taller-people-earn-money.html
and the pycopathy one:
www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-psychopaths-teach-us-about-how-to-succeed

I don't have time to look up what, if any, research they are based on, but a simple Google search confirms that it's a commonly held belief.... make of it what you will.

Fuck off,
I have to actually compare someone or something to a certain German political movement before you can invoke Godwin. It's a stretch to even say I implied eugenics which is what I guess you're doing.

And if you're gonna be all premature about this shit, no thread would survive monty's first post.

How dare you tell him when and when he can't invoke Godwins law?
What are you a Nazi? You're worse than Hitler you are!

Wow, overcomplicated
I was merely expecting the next post to be Monty mentioning Adolf. Or Napoleon, or similar short of stature megalomaniac.

meh, I seem to remember you're not bad looking
if you like that kind of thing. and tall, the combination should mean you do reasonably OK in the world of work even if you are a gibbering imbecile.

HEY
