RE: “Curt as Short or brief, or even rude”.
I just dealt with being short 5’7″ and ‘Curt’ as a vehicle for self defining self deprecating humor. ;). You want to be at least 5’8 as a male. But it wasn’t as important in my generation where women were betting more on your status and income (in my favor) where today, god knows what fantasy nonsense they’re betting on because of the (temporary) earning capacity of women during the decades of clerical work made possible by the desktop computer revolution. Of course, I suspect nearly all those jobs will disappear, because there is nothing in the feminine-clerical space that will survive AI.
