    5'8 + $146,000= 6'00

    They found that a 5-foot-8 man was just as successful in getting dates as a 6-footer if he made more money — precisely $146,000 a year more. For a 5-foot-2 man, the number was $277,000. [For more of these trade-offs, see nytimes.com/tierneylab.]

    It is true.

    Me and my friends were sitting around talking one time about this. I said something like.. "What does a guy like Brad Pitt have that we don't?" the answer was "about a foot in height".

    That realization was the second most depressing moment in my life.

    And the most depressing moment in your life was when you realized that Brad Pitt also has wealth and fame?

    He wasn't born with wealth and fame.. he was born in Oklahoma

    You notice it more as you get older.. a few inches in height make a huge difference.

    Yes, but he has wealth and fame now, and that is why millions of women (and lots of men too) swoon over him.

    Bill Gates has more wealth and fame.. yet girls never really fell over him.

    Besides.. a person can gain wealth and fame through actions but I will always be 5'7 which is shorter than the average male where I live.

    Yeah right. You would be amazed at how attractive a man can get when you put a few zeros in his bank account. For example Anna Nichole Smith and that desiccated semi-corpse that she married. You don't see attractive 20-year-old women falling over poor 90+ year-olds very often.

    Money is to women as hooters are to men- the more you have, the more unattractiveness the opposite sex is willing to ignore.

    What about the money factor? Is that as big of a factor for homosexual men as it is for women when searching out their mates?

    Is a fat wallet as uncomfortable to a guy as big boobs are to us girls?

    Yes. But, at least you don't have to sit on your boobs. If you do, you're probably too old for me, anyway.

    You can take the wallet out of your pants, keep it in an inside coat pocket, whatever.

    I cannot detach my breasts.

    Well, according to e-mails that I get everyday I am supposed to, but I was referring to the wallet.

    But for you to find out which is more uncomfortable, you'd need the boobs too.
