Yes, phenotype matters. Women are Curators of the genome. They read bones. They select. You think they don’t notice? They clock your gait, your Pate, your wrist bones, the way you stand when you don’t know anyone’s watching. They want signs of health, bloodline, danger, mirth. They want a reason not to die alone.

Rooney was 5`2`` and he cracked eight of them. But he lived in a time before testicular shrinkage by ideology. Women didn’t expect a man to beg them to explain what “emotional labor” is. They expected him to earn her.

Zoomers say it’s hard. They're soft. They think their feelings are a credential. They live like larva. They fear being laughed at more than you fear being unloved.

Women are not complex. They are ruthless. They smell weakness the way wolves smell infection. You carry it in your speech. In your habits. In your gait. Rooney didn’t whine. He moved.

So yes, Mickey Rooney. Eight marriages. All taller than him. He had one thing Zoomers don’t.

A spine.
