I
once
knew
a
man
who
was
convinced
that
the
reason
no
woman
would
date
him
was
because
he
was
too
short
.
He
was
educated
,
interesting
,
and
good
-
looking
a
good
catch
,
in
principle
but
he
was
absolutely
convinced
that
women
found
him
too
short
to
date
.
542
And
because
he
felt
that
he
was
too
short
,
he
didn
t
often
go
out
and
try
to
meet
women
.
The
few
times
he
did
,
he
would
home
in
on
the
smallest
behaviors
from
any
woman
he
talked
with
that
could
possibly
indicate
he
wasn
t
attractive
enough
for
her
and
then
convince
himself
that
she
didn
t
like
him
,
even
if
she
really
did
.
As
you
can
imagine
,
his
dating
life
sucked
.
543
What
he
didn
t
realize
was
that
he
had
chosen
the
value
that
was
hurting
him
:
height
.
Women
,
he
assumed
,
are
attracted
only
to
height
.
He
was
screwed
,
no
matter
what
he
did
.

This
choice
of
value
was
disempowering
.
It
gave
this
man
a
really
crappy
problem
:
not
being
tall
enough
in
a
world
meant
(
in
his
view
)
for
tall
people
.
There
are
far
better
values
that
he
could
have
adopted
in
his
dating
life
.
545
I
want
to
date
only
women
who
like
me
for
who
I
am
might
have
been
a
nice
place
to
start
a
metric
that
assesses
the
values
of
honesty
and
acceptance
.
But
he
did
not
choose
these
values
.
He
likely
wasn
t
even
aware
that
he
was
choosing
his
value
(
or
could
do
so
)
.
Even
though
he
didn
t
realize
it
,
he
was
responsible
for
his
own
problems
.
546
Despite
that
responsibility
,
he
went
on
complaining
:
But
I
don
t
have
a
choice
,
he
would
tell
the
bartender
.
There
s
nothing
I
can
do
!
Women
are
superficial
and
vain
and
will
never
like
me
!
Yes
,
it
s
every
single
woman
s
fault
for
not
liking
a
self
-
pitying
,
shallow
guy
with
shitty
values
.
Obviously
.
547
A
lot
of
people
hesitate
to
take
responsibility
for
their
problems
because
they
believe
that
to
be
responsible
for
your
problems
is
to
also
be
at
fault
for
your
problems
.

Responsibility
and
fault
often
appear
together
in
our
culture
.
But
they
re
not
the
same
thing
.
If
I
hit
you
with
my
car
,
I
am
both
at
fault
and
likely
legally
responsible
to
compensate
you
in
some
way
.
Even
if
hitting
you
with
my
car
was
an
accident
,
I
am
still
responsible
.
This
is
the
way
fault
works
in
our
society
:
if
you
fuck
up
,
you
re
on
the
hook
for
making
it
right
.
And
it
should
be
that
way
.
549
But
there
are
also
problems
that
we
aren
t
at
fault
for
,
yet
we
are
still
responsible
for
them
.
550
For
example
,
if
you
woke
up
one
day
and
there
was
a
newborn
baby
on
your
doorstep
,
it
would
not
be
your
fault
that
the
baby
had
been
put
there
,
but
the
baby
would
now
be
your
responsibility
.
