"social construction of height" vs. "social construction of race" and "social construction of gender"

"Social construction of race" and "social construction of gender" each have about 3 million google search results. "social construction of height" has 3 google search results, an extraordinary 7 order magnitude of difference. Although I suspect these are three of the biggest phenotype trait attributes shaping  microsociological interactions, and that height is roughly equal in shaping these interactions (specifically, I don't think the difference in effect is anything approaching a 7 order magnitude of difference).

Empirical microsociology, quantitative microsociology

Empirical microsociology gets almost no google hits (although they're good) and neither does quantitative microsociology. I think what the modern pick up artist community does should fall under the category of empirical microsociology.

Not much to say

I haven't had that much to say, and I haven't had that much time to say it.

I have a bunch of mundane things to do to improve the quality of my analysis and decision making. High on the list is improving my quantitative skillset.
