As a woman you should know this since you automatically respect tall men more than short or average height men.
“Respect” is the wrong word, unless they have done something worthy of respect. They may be more physically attractive than short men, but not if they are skinny. They are the same if they are skinny.


It is very obvious that fauxlaw is privileged and being 6'3 plays a big role in that. It also is a sign that he was well fed as a child, a luxury that not everyone gets to have handed to them.
I don't think his height has anything to do with it. Short men write books too. They also get women and marry them.

Doubt what you like; that’s on you. I was there. You were not. Do not presume you know what Dr Watson said. He talked about the relative fragility of DNA to any number of external effects, such as the poor choices we make by consumption. I take him at his word and have observed results since how that has generational effect. I credit him as much as my parents in suggesting what I avoid altogether.

What do you avoid?

Do you avoid conceit?

Honestly, sometimes no. I'm far from perfect, but working on it. But, to date, and after 75 years, I doubt that will change, I do not smoke, do not drink alcohol. do not take illegal drugs, and try to avoid prescriptions but when prudent, do not buy processed food [I shop only the perimeter of grocery stores - fresh food] grow most of our fruits [five fruit trees] and vegetables [20' square veg garden]  and mostly drink fresh water. I limit soda drinking to tonic water, and at that, maybe 2 quarts in a month.  I do 90% of the meal cooking [my bride of 54 years does dishes, or I do when she cooks]. We make our own cookies, cakes, and ice cream. We freezedry leftovers. I like being in control of myself. I've observed too many friends and associates when they get schnockered. No thanks. I lost two friends in high school senior year to playing with LSD. one flat disappeared [still these years later, an open case], and one self-inflicted gunshot under his chin. That was enough deterrence for me.

I agree with you on drugs but not medicinal ones. You seem closer to scientologists or JW with that. I am not anti meds in itself.

Bride, not wife.
I am a wordsmith. Everyone. says 'wife.' I do not like simply referring to her as everyone else refers to theirs. Some even say "my old lady." Never, ever have I said that, and never will.
As for meds, yeah, I take those that are occasionally prescribed, bust when. my doctor says I should take so-and-so, I always ask what it will do for me that natural food in its natural state will not do for me. He always says, not much, in fact the food may be better, and he'll suggest a particular food, so I know he is aware of good nutrition, but he's an AMA doctor; trained to push meds. Can't blame him; it's what he was taught. Kickbacks? My older brother was a physician, now retired. He says he was never given kickbacks, but they were offered, so I know it happens.

You are doing well. My parents...drank a lot of alcohol and were heavy smokers, every day. I was introduced to it at 13. They passed away in 2020. My mother's parents are still alive.

It is good to buy fruits and vegetables from a local place, or to grow them. My parents were good cooks who grew fruits. Alas, they were still alcoholics.

Sounds like you are on a much better path. Amazing that your grandparents are still alive, but then , you are probably a younger  generation than mine. Just live a good, full, healthy life, my friend. Beleive me, there is wealth just in that. When you get to be my age, you will never regret being prudent about it.  Maybe not so much of a prude as I am accused of sometimes, but, I am a very happy fellow. Wouldn't change a thing in my life. Be well.

Thank you. May you make it to 95, or 105!
