Why Learn How to Get Taller in 2010

Now that it's becoming common knowledge that it's entirely possible to learn how to grow taller, the question that sometimes comes up is..."why?"

Why learn how to grow taller?

The answer is actually less about aesthetics and much more about functionality.

Many recent studies by leading universities and research firms have come to dramatic conclusions about height in the workplace and in social environments.

Consider some findings:

- Taller job candidates are often awarded the job when everything else is equal.

- Taller people get promoted faster.

- Taller people enjoy higher salaries.

Of course, these findings are observed across multiple industries when all other variables are considered equal.

The fact of the matter is that heightism is alive and well and one of the only socially-acceptable means of marginalization that still exists in modern culture. Most people would never think to pester or pick on someone for their race, age, gender, or weight but those same people would think nothing at cracking jokes at someone about their height.

Why is this acceptable?

The social arena is no different and may even be worse. In fact, it is social situations that are more likely to cause men, particularly, to want to learn how to grow taller in recent years.

- Taller men are more likely to marry.

- Taller men are more likely to have children.

- Taller men are less likely to divorce.

- Shorter men are more likely to abuse drugs and alcohol.

Over 80% of women polled preferred to date a man that had been convicted of violent crimes than men that were shorter than the US national average of 5'9" that had no prior criminal record and made more money.
