In my opinion, people's experienced lives are divided more by their wealth and class than things like race. Children from wealthy families are taller, but in my opinion it's because the children had the right environment and nutrition to reach their genetic potential, rather than just genetics alone.
So I am a militarycel. I was homeless and used to be in foster homes before I joined the military. Being the government's bitch and taking the risk of getting blown up by Ahmed in bumfuckistan is how I improved my station in life. No, being military didn't help me get laid because I am still ethniccel and short, but there were more guys like me in the military as well. I am no longer in, but I still come back to town where I was stationed because I still have work to do in the area and I have nowhere else to go back to.
So with my benefits and savings, I was able to move away to a city where my rent is thousands a month in a high rise, and I work at a fitness club that cost $300/month. It's a big change, and now every time I come back to the military town in a rural area, I notice the difference.
The way people dress. The way people eat. The way people age. Height differences. It's so apparent. There are way more obese people in the small town (with the occassional emaciated skinnyfat white guy who works as a cashier). Even facial features - there are more crooked teethes, receding jawlines, and big noses among both men and women in the small town. More balding among men.
Not that there aren't dysgenic people in the city and in the clubs, it's just that it's not the norm, and there are way hotter people. Both men and women on average are taller, especially at the gym. I assume they had the money to get plastic surgery, fix their teeth, and fix their jaws if they needed to. They probably had better nutrition to not end up dysgenic and short. They probably had educational access to appear better spoken and smarter, and access to higher paying jobs. They ate nutritionally balanced diets with enough protein and not loaded with carbs and fillers, while I was raised off $1 frozen dinners, bagel bits and hot pickets, pop tarts, boxed mac n cheese, spaghettios, and other prepackaged garbage that the working poor feed their kids. There is a reason that people raised in poverty are more likely to be diabetic, because our metabolism is fucked up before we reach adulthood. I eat better now and lost weight, and I am getting my teeth fixed. I still look dysgenic, but it's still better than before.
Regarding living in the high rise and working at the gym, no I don't feel like I fit in. There are more women who seem disgusted with me or won't even say a light hello like back in the small town. Even my boss hinted at something about my likeability, and I wouldn't be surprised if I am getting fired soon for not being a "cultural fit". I am not doing badly, at least I am miserable in a nice place now instead of miserable in a car. But it's amazing just how much difference money makes, because it opens gates and gives you access to things you need to maxx out. It's beautiful here, but it's still brutal and lonely.
