Observations: The average man at the show that looked to be age 20+ had an estimated height of 5’ 6". Almost every person at the show was also white. n=50+
The average height of a white man in the USA is 5’ 10"
Hypothesis #1: Shorter men are more likely to be bullied and have worse dating prospects -> more likely to be sad -> more likely to listen to sad music like Weatherday (I’m not citing any sources for these but I’ve read supporting studies/research for all claims)
Hypothesis #2: I’ve also observed a disproportionately high percentage of trans women at the show. I can’t really estimate what the percentage was because I’m sure there were also many non-visible trans women. This may be explained by a reason similar to Hypothesis #1 in that the average trans woman seems pretty fucking sad, for many good reasons. If that’s the case, then there is no Hypothesis #2. However, another plausible explanation is that since Weatherday is non-binary, there may be some trans solidarity or shared culture that makes it more likely for trans women to discover and enjoy their music. If that’s the case, then this may also apply to trans man, as Weatherday’s music isn’t written for a female (or any gendered) audience. The average height of trans men in the USA is 5’ 5", which is close to my observed average height of men at the show
Please peer review in the comments section below and don’t ban me pls mods
As a tall man, I find the shit that shorter men receive to be fucked.
But thank god it ain’t us, brutha high five
All I can infer from this study is that short kings rule
A man’s height definitely has absolutely no bearing on how much they may rule!
Good times create short men
Alright, changing my “taller than the average man in Napoleonic times” talking point to this one which seems way more relevant
I have a 6’0" friend who went to a Carly Rae Jepson concert a few years ago and he said he was one of the shortest guys there, so do with that what you will
Running into someone who looks sort of like you at the Carly Rae Jepsen show and saying “tall me, maybe?”
I also went to a Carly show a few years ago and I can also confirm that the men there were tall af
