I reposted this here. ---> Tall Women die more often alone, Tall Women have fewer children or more often no children, Tall Women have fewer relationships with Men, Tall Women have less Sex, Tall Women are more depressed, all this because a Tall Woman is waiting for a Tall Man; but Tall Men want Short Women not Tall Women. So, Tall Women are themselves their bane of their existence. Now...this next sentence is hard as I forget what this is called, but the crank/angle in a Woman's neck is important, at a certain age this is the angle She had to tilt her head up to look at her Father, maybe when She was 4-5 years old. As an adult; this is what She instinctively is looking for, it usually tends then to be a 6'2"-5" Man. So, in a World where all this is true, Tall Women pass on Men shorter than them; and without knowing; they die a little each time.

[@476429]

I'm 5'7". I was rejected by a woman shorter than me specifically because I wasn't over 6' tall. But I've also been pursued by women taller than me. And most of my relationships were with women around my height. Based on my experience, it just depends on the woman. I never thought a 5'11" female high jumper would be interested in me, but she was. And I never thought a woman shorter than me would reject me over my height, but she did. My advice is to take care of yourself, be fit, and present yourself well. There's nothing you can do about your height so don't even give it a second thought. The right ones will like you and the wrong ones won't.

Exactly. It's just a preference, but not a requirement. I can't tell you how many guys I see with beautiful women who are considerably shorter than me, and I'm a little over 5'10". If it was that strict, none of these guys would have girlfriends or wives, let alone attractive ones with great personalities. In real life, many other factors can outweigh a lack of tallness (and please, it's not just wealth, although sure it helps; work on everything else first, get some dating experience, and then tell me all they're looking for is height and wealth). It's similar to how we all prefer women with say, a more generous posterior or bust, or a beautiful face, but plenty of us would be willing to date a thinner girl, or even a girl who's pretty but isn't stunning (I can't tell you how many times I've found a girl beautiful who would not make the cut for a modeling gig, but I still found her very pretty; they're not ugly, just not stunning - you know the phenomenon I'm talking about brother,), if she had a lot of other qualities we valued, and it happens every day. It's the same for women in my experience. They don't value the same things we do mind you, but they're willing to make a trade off for other qualities they want. Build yourself up in those areas, make yourself valuable, and height won't prevent you from finding someone to share your life with, not working on those other factors will. Just look around and tell me with a straight face that shorter than average men can't be with great women, and that all women only get romantically involved with 6 foot rich guys. Exactly.

I'm 5'7 and I do just fine, but that's based on what I personally want. if my goal was to get tons and tons of hookups, then maybe I'd feel like a failure lol but that never brought me any happiness anyway. my thing is, what's the point if it doesn't become special? why hook up if I'm not gonna see her again? I've always preferred building something emotional and substantive, even if that means waiting or getting my heart beat up a few times in the process. and that's because I'm happy with the rest of my life, so I can fall back and recover pretty well when things don't work out.

[@jurgen951]

I wonder if the imperial system being in feet/inches is the reason to such a high threshold of 6 foot (183cm), mainly being a round number. In the metric world, I would say 180cm (5ft 11) is more often the threshold for a lot of women.

[@max-cs4pz]

This is exactly the crazy thing. The biggest cutoff criterium is a arbitrary round number…. In most of europe the biggest cutoff is 180cm and in US it is 6ft. While in many eiropean countries the average height is more than in the US.

No kidding, I’ve actually heared in IRL from some, one of them being a particularly beautiful woman who was herself around 5’9 / 5’10 who told that she preferred the proportions of men being on the shorter spectrum - but yeah, those of course are the minority - but then you also have to consider, when women say tall, we often overestimate what they are looking for in real life (and broad shoulder and other features can compensate quite a bit) - only online dating with a focus on numbers is kinda toxic in terms of height preferences

@@JeffreyWongOfficial Sure women like that exist but they are outliers. I think when women say tall they mean 5'11 and up. That is where a noticeable difference from average height (5'9) begins.

I dont think a 5'2 girl would consider a 5'8 or 5'9 man tall even though they have decent height difference. I also think the impact of broad shoulders is overvalued.

As a 5’2 guy 31 year old guy who’s been rejected my whole life, ive come to terms with the fact I’ll most likely be alone and die alone. The thing with being a short guy is that women won’t be attracted to you, and many times they don’t know why; it’s at a subconscious level. I haven’t been told point blank, as some people in the comments have mentioned, that I’m too short. However this doenst make matters any better. As I said, a lot of times a lot of women don’t know why they’re not attracted to you. Being a short guy, you’re simply invisible to women in terms of attraction. No matter how great your conversational skills are, most people (women included) will see as you a great, interesting, lively guy to enjoy time, but you’ll never be a romantic/sexual option for them. Even if they’re not “put off” by you, they’ll won’t be “attracted” to you. Their feelings towards you will simply be…neutral. I also dislike it when people say “just be confident.” Confidence makes absolutely no difference if a woman is not initially attracted to you. Confidence cannot manufacture attraction, it simply retains, and increases, attraction that is already there.

Most people can look decent if they try to, so long are they aren't obese or deformed or something. The reality is most of the guys complaining about this shit either are already attractive enough or at least have the potential to be, but they either aren't talking to enough women or are too social inept to successfully court one.

It would be interesting to study the variance of preferences among women depending on their own height, not just the average. In my experience and intuition, there are a couple intervals. Very short women seem to be happy with a man taller than them even if he's not tall by modern standards. Women taller than average prefer a male taller than them but are willing to date one who's the same height or shorter. And the taller they are, the more willing they are to compromise. It's the ones around the 5"4 average who care about male height the most and are most vocal and stringent about it.

[@stevecooper7883]

That's essentially no difference. There's diminishing returns after 6'1''

I’m glad you said “basketball height” When you’re 6’6 and play ball, That’s short, But it’s tall out here with the rest of the folks. Being really tall doesn’t hurt, I’m not sure who lied to this guy lol When the 6-10 athlete walks in the door…. EVERYONE notices

[@bluddie7383]

6’6 is the average nba height and that’s in shoes so what r u on about
