Tall People Happier Than Short People
Well, I don't know about any of this. I'm average height and weight, but like most people, I'm sometimes happy and sometimes not happy. Depends on a lot of things, many of which I have no control.

So, how tall are you and are you happy?

It's pretty much fact, pretty people earn more money than ugly people. If you're a man that means; are you tall. If you're a woman it means; are you slim and big breasted.
It's also pretty much fact; people judge your level of intelligence based on what you look like. So once again if you're pretty you generally do better on subjective test, thus giving the impression you are smarter.
All of the above has been well documented in numerous studies and is why so many females and now males are electing to have beauty enhancing treatments.
The bottom line; if you are pretty, people will think you are smarter and will pay you more money. Thus, you will be happier.

I'm 6'7" very greatful of my size and stride when racing across the terminal to catch the last flight home. Honestly, though I 6'4" would have been perfect. When you reach that size there a lot of little things that people don't think of. Everything from buying clothes, cars, and cramming into those torture chambers known as jumpseats (I'll still take it over being left behind though). I've also been known to introduce my cranium to a doorframe or two. Then there's always the inevitable "Do you play basketball?" Trust me if I was any good at it I certainly wouldn't be working for a regional.
I would say that I would prefer being overly tall rather than overly short. Do I think being tall makes me any happier though? Probably not I think the characteristics of one's life family, friends, job satisfaction, financial security, etc make a person happy regardless of size.
