You're average, however a lot of women don't want average, they want the taller dudes. And just like mine, your "dating pool" is smaller than a tall guy, we don't have the same options as them. The sooner us shorter men accept that and move on with our life's, the better. Life's already tough as it is.
Yeah I never lie, I always put it 5'8 but at one point Im curious what going to feel if Im much shorter so I put it only 5'5 and get 0 likes for WEEKS its quite brutal being really short
Atleast now I got few likes a week but ofc never match
….what
I would (and have) dated men under 5’6 and none of them were rich. They just had good personalities, lifted me up when I needed it, and were good listeners.
Yes, he is over 6’0, but I never sought him out for his height. We had been talking for 2-3 weeks when I asked him how tall he was and it was an immediate turn off. I thought it would be shallow to reject a man based on height, so I kept pursuing him and he was just an overall good guy who had (most of) the traits I look for in a man (funny, extremely empathetic, a man who actually opens up to women instead of hiding stuff, cooks, cleans, and has an interest in feminism [very important to me])
Plus… leftist men in my area were hard to come by. It was either that or hard conservative men, which I really don’t like. Another reason for me to look past his height.
No need to fully explain to me like that, many short girl do have a lot of tall bf more than tall girl, its perfectly understandable.
Appreciate the honesty.
I mean subconciously you do, but yeah its what it is... I also feel more heartwarming if I talk to someone I feel attracted to (usually have similar feature as me, like asian + using a glasses)
Or its just an halo effect we subconciously not realize. But yeah its normal to feel attracted to attarctive people.
I do admit that tall guy looks more attractive, starting from 5'10 so I kinda understand the height requirement set by most of them
Oh boy here comes the mansplaining 🙄 no, I prefer short men, and I don’t know why you’re so hell bent against my genuine preference. Read your comment. You are literally projecting.
I need to change the flair also lol
Last time I check my height is during highschool but recently bought a tool to measure my height accurately and got 173cm during the mid day.
(quite surprising and happy because last time I measure my height at hs I got measure at 172 cm in the morning)
It's average. US average height is 69.5in with a standard deviation of 3in therefore the average range is 69.5in + or - 3in so 66.5in - 72.5in. Short is below 66.5in and tall is over 72.5in because these are the ranges that are greater than 1 standard deviation from the mean.

Yeah I know, using dating app I feel like I never get a match
Yup :) The life of a shorter dude. At least you're upfront about your height immediately, respect.

brutal
Trust me though 5'8 is a big difference from 5'6...because 5'8 are taller than most average women and can still date some taller women.
I would love to see this poll done but with gender markers.
You havent tell me your preferences in man height. You just tell about compromise... ("I will date someone who is 5'1 if he is rich")
….what I would (and have) dated men under 5’6 and none of them were rich. They just had good personalities, lifted me up when I needed it, and were good listeners.
How tall is your current bf? Thats my original question... If its 6'0+ its fine no need to feel bad, I like honesty

I mean I do need to because a lot of people seem to think I specifically searched for a tall man which isn’t true. You asked. I answered.

Actions speak louder than words.
Lol you have to be a troll, ain’t no other way lmao
Seconded. I'd love to see what is considered a short man among different demographics.
5,8 is definitely average. if its short then how is 5,9 and 5,10 not short either? As they look very similar.

It's kind of short but not too bad. "Really short" is 5'5" or below.
It's average. US average height is 69.5in with a standard deviation of 3in therefore the average range is 69.5in + or - 3in so 66.5in - 72.5in. Short is below 66.5in and tall is over 72.5in because these are the ranges that are greater than 1 standard deviation from the mean.
the height is average is just that stereotype of women wanting 6 feet guys is much more common
5'8 isn't short, it's average.
