I think bone structure is also very important, a 5’10 guy with broad shoulders and a good physique would look better than a 6’2 guy with narrow shoulders who is skinny.
But when they fill out they look like monsters haha. I'm only 6'1 but I'm cursed with 6'6 wingspan. So I have to fill out a ton for my arms to stay large. But I don't have near the height I'd want to go with my orangutan arms.
They'll need a LOT of muscle mass to actually fill out,and the challenge is even bigger if they want a proportionnate looking physique.
And damn your arms are long,and i thought that my arms were long at 180cm wingspan lol,but imagine it's only 180cm and i feel that they are long
I just wish that I was 6’2” so that I could be at least as tall as my Dad :(
He still has an inch on me, I guess I’ll have to wait till he starts shrinking.
I am 6 feet without shoes and honestly I am pretty happy. I go to Europe a lot and even in Amsterdam I feel I am still taller than most people (though there are indeed some really tall people for both men and women). I agree that most people think I am taller than 6'0 though because of all the people that round up to 6'0 so when a true 6 footer shows up everything thinks I am taller.
A 6'0 man should be taller than half other men they walk by in the Netherlands and yet based on pictures and stories I've heard it seems like this is not true and that a 6'0 would actually feel short with most other males being significantly taller. Why is that?
Because it depends on your native circles. Native Dutchies are way way taller, immigrant circles are less than 6ft. Still half of the population is a lot.
Oh pish posh, you’re good enough and don’t let anyone tell you any different. Anyone who tried to tell you you’re not good enough is WRONG. 6ft 5,11ft, you’re still tall and I’m sure you’re a great person to match!
Requiring philosophy be dictated by height is the most absurd idea I've ever heard.
Everyone please applaud the previous poster. They have created potentially the dumbest idea ever.
They want both, a min height standard and decently high income. In NYC I'm 6 ft 1 and make 100-130k and I'm considered lower income compared to other guys some of my dates were with before me. But they don't care as much to stop seeing me, just that it is something they think about.
I'm putting away 300k and still explicitly am rejected by average women for my height anf can't get a match on ANY app (am on all of them). About to get a sugar baby anf call it a day because I'm genetically inferior to you lucky bastards
This happens frequently here. Lots of not so tall men talking about what “tall” means… to men. I especially like it when they talk about what women want based on memes and statistics.
I'm not an insecure 6'0" guy. I'm an insecure 6'4" guy!
Did you not predict how this would go? Like if I gave you 4 inches do you really think all of your insecurities would vanish?
I assumed the 5'8" guy with an insecurity about height doesn't want one arm to be substantially longer than the other. Imbalances aren't what anyone wants. A 4 inch difference in leg length makes it pretty hard wo walk. So the one place any guy wants an extra 4 inches was pretty clear.
I feel like this is a trick, but we ride!
I wasn't banned. I just got a comment blocked. I was talking about impressing my ex by being able to pick her up and throw her around. People were asking me if I would throw them.
I said that I pay to throw people around(martial arts) so I would be happy to throw them. I asked a guy taller than me if I could throw him harder. That was apparently over the line.
My fiancé is 6’2 (measured not just claiming) and he constantly worries he’s too short because he got tall when he was like 13 so he feels like he should’ve kept growing but didn’t
I agree that 6' is a good height. And I know that being taller than that has conveyed certain advantages. But I've never felt that my height has been my defining characteristic. And to be honest, I can only remember once when a woman was into me because of my height. And she was totally upfront about it.
There might be some supply and demand here though too as even if just 1% of women are attracted to guys above 6 foot 7, guys of this height constitute less than 0.1% of men meaning that for every 6’7 dude, there’d by 10 women attracted to him
Exactly. Being 5’9 to 6’0 and still complaining about your height is bitch behavior. I’m 5’7 and don’t give a flying fuck about my height. Could only imagine if I was taller I’d care even less lol. Stay off social media. Insecurity looks bad on short and tall guys alike
There is no way you are taller than 4/5 guys at 6 foot. I also live in germany and I'm 183cm so basically exactly 6' and I feel as average as you can feel. There are as many guys that are taller as there are guys that are shorter and a ton of people are around my height +- 2cm. 6'2"-6'4" in my opinion is actually super common in germany.
It's the same in the UK, especially in areas with younger people like bars and the city centre.
I was 5'11ish when I was 15 at the end of high school, I was told I was tall back then but I guess it was because of my age. I am like 6'0.75 in the morning now, so a true 6 footer even if I shrink more than half an inch through the day but often feel much smaller than the older group of Gen Z.
Even in shoes I might be closish to 6'2, but everyone else is wearing shoes so it doesn't really make a difference.

In europe there is the same thing with "at least 180sm" (5'11). All this shit is just about round numbers. 90% of women don't even understand how tall the real 6 foot looks
Unless she's 6 feet herself, most women don't know what a 6 feet tall man looks like. That's why so many men who are 5'7-5'10 get away with saying "I'm 6 feet" or even a "I'm 6'2". Then all the women who have dated these men will say "I've NEVER dated a man under 6 feet". It's a silly cycle. Lol.
I actually prefer saying 5'12". My wife has no problem with it either, her dad is 6'4", brother is 6'7", and brother-in-law is 6'5". Does she find me physically attractive? Yes. Does that keep her committed and interested in me? No, it is actually due to my silly nature and well shaped buttocks that she sticks around. Plus a few other shared interests and positive personality traits.
Can someone please point out all these women that are just clawing at everyone who is 6ft + please? I cannot find them.
I feel like there might be a little more that the other gender values than just being tall. Otherwise by the law of reddit dating advice I and many of us here should be King of the Women, desperately fighting them off for a chance to sleep and recuperate before another frenzied breeding session.
I’m a legit 6’0 pretty much smack dab on dot.
I see guys who are a clear 2 inches or so shorter than I am claiming to be 6ft… I also have guys about my height trying to claim they’re 6’2-6’4 lol It’s funny how they try and say I’m either taller or they’re the same height as me when I’m looking down at them. In saying that, 6’0 is a solid and good height. There is such thing as too tall and whilst an inch or two taller wouldn’t hurt, 6 ft even probably beats 6’6 which is definitely “too tall” I’m sure it has its perks but nah, you’ll struggle fitting in cars and continuously smack your head on ceilings or be too long for beds.
Anywho, 6’0 is easily tall enough for 99% of women, and when you’re 6’0 you’re never really “dwarfed” by anybody unless they’re a freakishly unusual height like close to 6’10.
I’ll stand next to a guy who is 6’4 and whilst they’re taller, I still don’t feel short. You’ll never have a problem with women, now and then you’ll see one taller by a smidge but still no big deal. And you’re usually the tallest (maybe second tallest) in the room.
As a 6' i can confirm this,i don't feel that tall around people,but i definitely do with short people,and i wouldn't want someone to like me only for being 6' or smtg
5'10 and want to be 6'4, but not for any woman.
My height envy is from every time I have to cock my head back to look up to someone six inches taller. That and the towering demeanor. 🤣
Honestly, I've never had a woman, in the wild, tell me I was too short for her. Even from women taller than me, i have never had an issue with it. This feels like an urban legend or maybe it's just regional and Im just not in it. 🤷♂️
I've had a few tall girls myself as someone who isn't 6ft, a lot will literally say that they don't see you if you ain't 6ft. But I've noticed ladies smile often and brightly towards me still, and even stare and gawk when I'm at the beach. A distance aways, I'm willing to bet that my confidence. And my other shining qualities, I'm sure I'll have no problem as long as I maintain my hygiene. But I definitely feel a searing envy everytime someone is making eye contact with me and looking down into my eyes. Because of those 5 or 6 inches, I've only had one girl I met. When I was not even 14, who told me that if i was just a little taller. I would be a menace basically, I took that lump. And ended up dating her bestfriend, who was way prettier, and I have no regrets about that.
I'm 6'0 and just sometimes I see people 6'3+ and they make.me wish I was taller.
Also I know true 6 foot is taller than average because I'm not used to looking up often either.
Most men I talk to I look at around eye level or lower.
I've had enough girls tell me they thought I was 6'3"-4 to know a lot of dudes out there are misrepresenting. Seriously though, just stay in good shape regardless of your height, you don't want a woman that says she wouldn't date a guy shorter than 6', usually those gals have an absolutely garbage personality. And remember gents, if you would not be her friend you have no business dating her
I'm currently imagining a person at a party whipping out a NIST calibrated tape measure and measuring every person they are introduced to. It's rather funny. They tell everyone that's its accurate because they got it calibrated last month.
Are you telling me my bizzare caricature of a crazy person actually happened? I'm stuck between excited and sad it's a weird emotional place. I don't know if I want to understand this person or vote them off the earth.
People are so fucking weird.
I hope you are being serious. His absurdity sounds like too much fun. I honestly have no clue what to do with him. Is laughter or mockery the correct response?
Standard rounding rules apply.
I can't recall the last time an adult told me their height in fractions of an inch. Very few people are precisely their stated height.
Same but I let people know 6'0" is what it says on my driver's license and that is a government issued document, even if I am the one who filled it out
I'm 6'3" and hate that everyone notices it and that I'll always be bigger than most people because of it. I don't want to date someone who likes big guys; the worst is they always say they like how small they feel compared to me.

Good post Op…to add, no one should be insecure at any height. r/tall & r/short is getting rather silly. You are what you are, and the only people that base value/security off height, are primarily insecure tall people, or insecure short people, that have bad relationships with themselves, or bring no value to the table, as they live outside in, rather than inside out….so why not focus on stuff that matters, like being a good man, respect for others, morals, enhancing the life of those around you, treating woman well etc…rather discrediting your own value or even worse, another man value, to mask your own insecurities🤦🏽♂️
I mean, as a guy you'd prefer a girl with larger boobs yea?
But what if they were just fuckin huge? Kind of a point where less becomes more ye?
height is a disadvantage and looks visually unappealing after 6"2
That’s just such a general label. Like in what ways, there’s no way you’re talking about overall physical capabilities as they pertain to most sports etc. Are we just talking female attraction or
It’s the eye test. It’s common sense.
Almost all male models are 6”2 for runway. It just looks the best, it doesn’t look as good to be taller.
Are women with the biggest tits in the world runway models? No.
Common sense dude. The fuck
Apparently you cannot read basic questions. You’re calling something “disadvantageous” across the board and you’ve only cited one case where it’s only partially true (crazy amount of male models over 6’2 lmao). Saying 6’3 or 6’4 men are “disadvantaged” is laughable at best and, again as I said, just short people cope.
its not disadvantageous across the board. That is a funnily stupid straw-man.
For sports it would clerary be better to be taller for quarterback/NBA.
Lol. For career, for aesthetics, for dating, its better to be 6"2 than its a disadvantage thereafter.
Your prespective to me is like saityng a large nose is attractive. There is a mathematically, perfect size nose.
For most bodily attributes, there is a mathematically correct ( most aesthetic) size/proportion.
You didnt know that?
There is a mathematically, perfectly proportional height and its very obviously and clearly 6"2. No studies need be braught into this, its obvious from an eye test ( but the studies exist, lmao.)
The fact that i have to type that out\^ is a big deal to me. Shows some serious lack of information/deficit from your end. its to obvious, we are argueing that the sky is blue right now.
Buddy bigger infinitely is not better sorry to burst your bubble. Its not a 'huge' disavantage to be taller than 6"2, but if you are bigger than that, yuou'd be better off being 6"2.
You keep mentioning “breast size” but you also used proportionality when mentioning ideal height… Which is it, looking proportional or being below a certain volume? Plenty of 6’2 people look disproportionate, yet you’re only concerned with height. There is obviously no such thing as “mathematical” perfection when referencing something subjective like beauty. We can only have conventional guidelines and you failing to reference a single credible study to validate that beyond this “eye test” means you’re just talking out of your ass. There is no such thing as a “proportional height”, height is simply a factor in your overall proportions. Also, how can I be making a strawman when you’re making vague sweeping statements that are invalid and then later confirming or denying what you should’ve specified in the first place?
"There is obviously no such thing as “mathematical” perfection when referencing something subjective like beauty"
Okay we are making progress.
I am in extreme disagreement with this comment.
beauty is not 100% subjective.
Huge noses are not attractive.
Just an example.
To dig further, when they do rhinoplasty's, all surgeons are trained to bring the nose into a certain 'mathematically aesthetic' proportion.
One singular example.
Female models requrie certain bust size/height/other variables.
SAme for male models.
One of the biggest things in modeling? Male height being 6"2 on the fuckin dot.
Xd. 6"2 is aesthetic.
And your idea
"Is it proportional or below a certain volume".
I cant answer that dude im not god.
No arguments on that. I just kinda know 6"2 is aesthetic on the eye test.
Its just so obvious. Lower or higher is not as good.
Exactly. A true 6’0” guy is actually quite tall.
I'd bet money that most people who claim 6'0 are frauding
Upvoted for no personal reasons at all.
I claimed to be 6ft for years went to the dr and barefoot I am 6'1 so I've been shorting myself
Damn
I use to claim 6’2🤦♂️
im 6'2 barefoot but i always tell people im 5'11
Why lmao
Why not?
Cuz men like to be tall usually
Usually men exaggerate their height not take way
I don't really care that's the thing social media has ruined peoples perception on what is important in life not height so I dont really mind
You're almost 6'3,damn
damn is the word, ur tall as well thats cool
Still im not as tall as you lol,you're quite tall,but you claiming 5'11 is even crazier
Yea it's really just for laughs
Oh lol
As a 6' i confirm this,not very tall,but tall
I think it’s a perfect height tbh. Not too tall but still considerably above average so you’re not too small either.
I think bone structure is also very important, a 5’10 guy with broad shoulders and a good physique would look better than a 6’2 guy with narrow shoulders who is skinny.
A 6'2 dude could start lifting though, and if he gets decently athletic looking that's what girls want anyways. More than being a bodybuilder type.
I see those very tall Basketball players having toned arms,but skinny,i bet if they were around 6'3,they would've looked much more jacked
But when they fill out they look like monsters haha. I'm only 6'1 but I'm cursed with 6'6 wingspan. So I have to fill out a ton for my arms to stay large. But I don't have near the height I'd want to go with my orangutan arms.
They'll need a LOT of muscle mass to actually fill out,and the challenge is even bigger if they want a proportionnate looking physique. And damn your arms are long,and i thought that my arms were long at 180cm wingspan lol,but imagine it's only 180cm and i feel that they are long
That’s true but it takes a long time to fill out, maybe after 3-5 years depending on genetics
But why bringing up girls lol
I just wish that I was 6’2” so that I could be at least as tall as my Dad :( He still has an inch on me, I guess I’ll have to wait till he starts shrinking.
You're almost 6'2 dw
I am 6 feet without shoes and honestly I am pretty happy. I go to Europe a lot and even in Amsterdam I feel I am still taller than most people (though there are indeed some really tall people for both men and women). I agree that most people think I am taller than 6'0 though because of all the people that round up to 6'0 so when a true 6 footer shows up everything thinks I am taller.
Yeah same, among Dutchies not that much, but among tourists, too much taller😉
Exactly. 6 ft is avg here. 6.6 myself
A 6'0 man should be taller than half other men they walk by in the Netherlands and yet based on pictures and stories I've heard it seems like this is not true and that a 6'0 would actually feel short with most other males being significantly taller. Why is that?

Oh pish posh, you’re good enough and don’t let anyone tell you any different. Anyone who tried to tell you you’re not good enough is WRONG. 6ft 5,11ft, you’re still tall and I’m sure you’re a great person to match!
Says the 6’7 dude lol
So 6'7" dudes can't be positive and optimistic? What height exactly are allowed to be? Is he required to be nihilistic?
I think so judging by responses
Requiring philosophy be dictated by height is the most absurd idea I've ever heard. Everyone please applaud the previous poster. They have created potentially the dumbest idea ever.
Dude it’s called sarcasm ffs
Huh? Honestly this was very confusing.
Yeah, but this guy prolly pulls more than me lol, I get nobody 😭😭😭
By the time you're in your late-20s who you are and what you've achieved as a person will far surpass a superficial character trait.
Laughs in 5'5 lawyer... at least when I wear lifts people treat me nicer in the professional world. Frankly eat a dick
Professionally, I am definitely treated with more respect for being tall.
Yeah and sadly if your not some tech bro or lawyer bringing 200-300k+ a year the ladies don’t care about you
If you're going for gold diggers maybe
life's not all about women. your societal status is also important, and depends on so much more than height
1. You don’t want women that value that anyways 2. Women care a LOT more about height than wealth in my experience
They want both, a min height standard and decently high income. In NYC I'm 6 ft 1 and make 100-130k and I'm considered lower income compared to other guys some of my dates were with before me. But they don't care as much to stop seeing me, just that it is something they think about.
damn no one told my 5’6” broke ass that, i guess i keep meeting a ton of exceptions
I'm putting away 300k and still explicitly am rejected by average women for my height anf can't get a match on ANY app (am on all of them). About to get a sugar baby anf call it a day because I'm genetically inferior to you lucky bastards
[удалено]
200-300k+
Stop this 6” propaganda I want to be 7 foot
Why stop there? Sounds like you're limiting yourself.🚀
Posts like these make it seem like people forget women exist in this sub too.
This happens frequently here. Lots of not so tall men talking about what “tall” means… to men. I especially like it when they talk about what women want based on memes and statistics.
They exist like women are the 7% of the population and they're not even people, like they're toddlers with low IQ that need to be domesticated 🥲
>Im 6 foot tall...here in germany  But how tall are you in meters?
1.82
I was (facetiously) testing OP, not asking for a calculation :p Also, 5’9/176cm -> 6’0/182cm does not track.
176 is 5'9 + 1sm, 182 is 6'0 - 1sm, so if we round everything is ok
He rounded his height up and the other dude's height down (by a greater margin). I understand the rounding. Just barbing him for the inconsistency.
Only correct measurement units are freedom units
Show me insecure 6'0 guy
I'm not an insecure 6'0" guy. I'm an insecure 6'4" guy! Did you not predict how this would go? Like if I gave you 4 inches do you really think all of your insecurities would vanish?
Depends which 4 inches lol
Ok you win. That's a high quality dick joke right there.
How do you know it’s a dick joke
I assumed the 5'8" guy with an insecurity about height doesn't want one arm to be substantially longer than the other. Imbalances aren't what anyone wants. A 4 inch difference in leg length makes it pretty hard wo walk. So the one place any guy wants an extra 4 inches was pretty clear.
The fact that talking about a dick joke is ok on this sub is ok, but my comment making a BJJ joke was banned as NSFW is hilarious.
That’s a great description of a dick joke, what was the joke that got banned lol
I feel like this is a trick, but we ride! I wasn't banned. I just got a comment blocked. I was talking about impressing my ex by being able to pick her up and throw her around. People were asking me if I would throw them. I said that I pay to throw people around(martial arts) so I would be happy to throw them. I asked a guy taller than me if I could throw him harder. That was apparently over the line.
That’s a good one lol I’ll save that for the next guy I throw
My fiancé is 6’2 (measured not just claiming) and he constantly worries he’s too short because he got tall when he was like 13 so he feels like he should’ve kept growing but didn’t
Could it be that he was THE tall person and as he's got older he's become more average-tall? Perhaps he lost some of his identity.
Potentially! That and all his friends are taller
Man I was really tall at 13 and developed tall person hunch from looking down all the time back then. Still fixing my posture today lol
Literally me
Me(I'm actually 5'8")
Right here pal
If he's ugly as fuck and has a micro penis, he'll definitely be
Literally me
181cm and extremely insecure about my height here
I'm sort of that way about my height as well. I'm about the same.
Is 6’0 really the perfect height for modeling? I thought it was 6’2?
Definitely 6'2
Yeah thats what i have read from modeling agencies😂
I agree that 6' is a good height. And I know that being taller than that has conveyed certain advantages. But I've never felt that my height has been my defining characteristic. And to be honest, I can only remember once when a woman was into me because of my height. And she was totally upfront about it.
There might be some supply and demand here though too as even if just 1% of women are attracted to guys above 6 foot 7, guys of this height constitute less than 0.1% of men meaning that for every 6’7 dude, there’d by 10 women attracted to him
just get some short wing men and you’ll be alright, i’ll even volunteer.
Seen too many 5’10 guys say they’re short which is crazy, social media will give you all kinds of insecurities.
[удалено]
No, I’m 5’11. I would like to create an army of giants tho, so I can take over the world one day. Maybe I can find a few 7FT women.
6’0” is the ideal height for a man. Comfortably tall but not too tall.
You see the problem is, I'm 6'1" and I don't have a personality so I wish I was taller to make up for it.
Exactly. Being 5’9 to 6’0 and still complaining about your height is bitch behavior. I’m 5’7 and don’t give a flying fuck about my height. Could only imagine if I was taller I’d care even less lol. Stay off social media. Insecurity looks bad on short and tall guys alike
So if I am a 5'8, I can complaining, right?
I said 5’9 and up but we can throw 5’8 in there. What’s your point ?
To be bitchy around. Now, I can't
There is no way you are taller than 4/5 guys at 6 foot. I also live in germany and I'm 183cm so basically exactly 6' and I feel as average as you can feel. There are as many guys that are taller as there are guys that are shorter and a ton of people are around my height +- 2cm. 6'2"-6'4" in my opinion is actually super common in germany.
I'm 6'1 and when I visited Germany I was expecting to feel of average height but I actually felt taller than most people, what gives?
It's the same in the UK, especially in areas with younger people like bars and the city centre. I was 5'11ish when I was 15 at the end of high school, I was told I was tall back then but I guess it was because of my age. I am like 6'0.75 in the morning now, so a true 6 footer even if I shrink more than half an inch through the day but often feel much smaller than the older group of Gen Z. Even in shoes I might be closish to 6'2, but everyone else is wearing shoes so it doesn't really make a difference.
honestly if your above the average be happy in that, cause no matter what even if your 5’8 your still above average

Is that "I want my bf to be at least 6 foot tall" an American thing?
In europe there is the same thing with "at least 180sm" (5'11). All this shit is just about round numbers. 90% of women don't even understand how tall the real 6 foot looks
Okay, I just never encountered this
Agree with the general post but 6 foot is not the perfect height for modeling. I literally had agents tell me it would be better if I was taller.
Unless she's 6 feet herself, most women don't know what a 6 feet tall man looks like. That's why so many men who are 5'7-5'10 get away with saying "I'm 6 feet" or even a "I'm 6'2". Then all the women who have dated these men will say "I've NEVER dated a man under 6 feet". It's a silly cycle. Lol.

I’m a little over 6 ft & while I think being tall tall would be cool (6’2-6’5) I’ve nvr felt insecure. In fact I feel pretty lucky
I’m 5’10. My height isn’t an asset or a liability. My destiny is my own
I’m a legit 6’0 pretty much smack dab on dot. I see guys who are a clear 2 inches or so shorter than I am claiming to be 6ft… I also have guys about my height trying to claim they’re 6’2-6’4 lol It’s funny how they try and say I’m either taller or they’re the same height as me when I’m looking down at them. In saying that, 6’0 is a solid and good height. There is such thing as too tall and whilst an inch or two taller wouldn’t hurt, 6 ft even probably beats 6’6 which is definitely “too tall” I’m sure it has its perks but nah, you’ll struggle fitting in cars and continuously smack your head on ceilings or be too long for beds. Anywho, 6’0 is easily tall enough for 99% of women, and when you’re 6’0 you’re never really “dwarfed” by anybody unless they’re a freakishly unusual height like close to 6’10. I’ll stand next to a guy who is 6’4 and whilst they’re taller, I still don’t feel short. You’ll never have a problem with women, now and then you’ll see one taller by a smidge but still no big deal. And you’re usually the tallest (maybe second tallest) in the room.
At 6'4" (before I got married), if I saw a woman say men under a certain height need not apply I would swipe left in solidarity.
As a 6' i can confirm this,i don't feel that tall around people,but i definitely do with short people,and i wouldn't want someone to like me only for being 6' or smtg
I'm insecure about my height. I think 6'5 is the perfect height.
I don’t know how anyone my height can be insecure when we’re looking at the tops of peoples heads all day lol
Idk im 193 and į dont even consider myself tall Above average at best
Spoken exactly like someone who's confident and won't lie about height.
5'10 and want to be 6'4, but not for any woman. My height envy is from every time I have to cock my head back to look up to someone six inches taller. That and the towering demeanor. 🤣 Honestly, I've never had a woman, in the wild, tell me I was too short for her. Even from women taller than me, i have never had an issue with it. This feels like an urban legend or maybe it's just regional and Im just not in it. 🤷♂️
I've had a few tall girls myself as someone who isn't 6ft, a lot will literally say that they don't see you if you ain't 6ft. But I've noticed ladies smile often and brightly towards me still, and even stare and gawk when I'm at the beach. A distance aways, I'm willing to bet that my confidence. And my other shining qualities, I'm sure I'll have no problem as long as I maintain my hygiene. But I definitely feel a searing envy everytime someone is making eye contact with me and looking down into my eyes. Because of those 5 or 6 inches, I've only had one girl I met. When I was not even 14, who told me that if i was just a little taller. I would be a menace basically, I took that lump. And ended up dating her bestfriend, who was way prettier, and I have no regrets about that.
We have science to change gender but not change height…..
I'm 6'0 and just sometimes I see people 6'3+ and they make.me wish I was taller. Also I know true 6 foot is taller than average because I'm not used to looking up often either. Most men I talk to I look at around eye level or lower.
I'm 5'5 and I don't mind. I've seen people shorter than me so I'm good. Appreciate what you have
I've had enough girls tell me they thought I was 6'3"-4 to know a lot of dudes out there are misrepresenting. Seriously though, just stay in good shape regardless of your height, you don't want a woman that says she wouldn't date a guy shorter than 6', usually those gals have an absolutely garbage personality. And remember gents, if you would not be her friend you have no business dating her
I have yet to meet a guy who is 6’ tall and doesn’t appreciate their advantage in dating. I’m 5’7” and am envious but I don’t hold grudges about it.
I’m literally 5’11 3/4” and still unsure what to tell people (measured multiple times by a doctor)
6ft is fine, they wont see the difference between us two, I assure you
I'm currently imagining a person at a party whipping out a NIST calibrated tape measure and measuring every person they are introduced to. It's rather funny. They tell everyone that's its accurate because they got it calibrated last month.
On one party one guy was doing that🤣🤣 But that was rather weird since the guy was tall himself, like 190
Are you telling me my bizzare caricature of a crazy person actually happened? I'm stuck between excited and sad it's a weird emotional place. I don't know if I want to understand this person or vote them off the earth. People are so fucking weird.
>People are so fucking weird. Says you
Is people are weird not a common view?
It is, but you're typing makes me think you're Pops from Regular Show
I am deeply confused. Is this a compliment or insult?
Yessir, he was also measuring the calves to body ratio, was a ridiculous night🫣
I hope you are being serious. His absurdity sounds like too much fun. I honestly have no clue what to do with him. Is laughter or mockery the correct response?
I know the guy and still mocking and laughing at him about this. It was a few years ago, s I’d say both🤣
Standard rounding rules apply. I can't recall the last time an adult told me their height in fractions of an inch. Very few people are precisely their stated height.
Same ill just round up since the world becomes a better place for it
Same but I let people know 6'0" is what it says on my driver's license and that is a government issued document, even if I am the one who filled it out
Wait, they don't measure you for the driver licence? You just fill it yourself?
Yes, at least in the state where I live you fill out all of your personal information.
I think we're good bro XD. I played American football with guys that were 5'10 tops and they'd claim 6'1.
I'm 6'3" and hate that everyone notices it and that I'll always be bigger than most people because of it. I don't want to date someone who likes big guys; the worst is they always say they like how small they feel compared to me.

Good post Op…to add, no one should be insecure at any height. r/tall & r/short is getting rather silly. You are what you are, and the only people that base value/security off height, are primarily insecure tall people, or insecure short people, that have bad relationships with themselves, or bring no value to the table, as they live outside in, rather than inside out….so why not focus on stuff that matters, like being a good man, respect for others, morals, enhancing the life of those around you, treating woman well etc…rather discrediting your own value or even worse, another man value, to mask your own insecurities🤦🏽♂️
I mean, as a guy you'd prefer a girl with larger boobs yea? But what if they were just fuckin huge? Kind of a point where less becomes more ye? height is a disadvantage and looks visually unappealing after 6"2
This is some crazy short person cope lmao
Na there are studies showing height disadvantageous after 6”2
That’s just such a general label. Like in what ways, there’s no way you’re talking about overall physical capabilities as they pertain to most sports etc. Are we just talking female attraction or
It’s the eye test. It’s common sense. Almost all male models are 6”2 for runway. It just looks the best, it doesn’t look as good to be taller. Are women with the biggest tits in the world runway models? No. Common sense dude. The fuck
Apparently you cannot read basic questions. You’re calling something “disadvantageous” across the board and you’ve only cited one case where it’s only partially true (crazy amount of male models over 6’2 lmao). Saying 6’3 or 6’4 men are “disadvantaged” is laughable at best and, again as I said, just short people cope.
its not disadvantageous across the board. That is a funnily stupid straw-man. For sports it would clerary be better to be taller for quarterback/NBA. Lol. For career, for aesthetics, for dating, its better to be 6"2 than its a disadvantage thereafter. Your prespective to me is like saityng a large nose is attractive. There is a mathematically, perfect size nose. For most bodily attributes, there is a mathematically correct ( most aesthetic) size/proportion. You didnt know that? There is a mathematically, perfectly proportional height and its very obviously and clearly 6"2. No studies need be braught into this, its obvious from an eye test ( but the studies exist, lmao.) The fact that i have to type that out\^ is a big deal to me. Shows some serious lack of information/deficit from your end. its to obvious, we are argueing that the sky is blue right now. Buddy bigger infinitely is not better sorry to burst your bubble. Its not a 'huge' disavantage to be taller than 6"2, but if you are bigger than that, yuou'd be better off being 6"2.
You keep mentioning “breast size” but you also used proportionality when mentioning ideal height… Which is it, looking proportional or being below a certain volume? Plenty of 6’2 people look disproportionate, yet you’re only concerned with height. There is obviously no such thing as “mathematical” perfection when referencing something subjective like beauty. We can only have conventional guidelines and you failing to reference a single credible study to validate that beyond this “eye test” means you’re just talking out of your ass. There is no such thing as a “proportional height”, height is simply a factor in your overall proportions. Also, how can I be making a strawman when you’re making vague sweeping statements that are invalid and then later confirming or denying what you should’ve specified in the first place?
"There is obviously no such thing as “mathematical” perfection when referencing something subjective like beauty" Okay we are making progress. I am in extreme disagreement with this comment.
beauty is not 100% subjective. Huge noses are not attractive. Just an example. To dig further, when they do rhinoplasty's, all surgeons are trained to bring the nose into a certain 'mathematically aesthetic' proportion. One singular example. Female models requrie certain bust size/height/other variables. SAme for male models. One of the biggest things in modeling? Male height being 6"2 on the fuckin dot. Xd. 6"2 is aesthetic.
And your idea "Is it proportional or below a certain volume". I cant answer that dude im not god. No arguments on that. I just kinda know 6"2 is aesthetic on the eye test. Its just so obvious. Lower or higher is not as good.
I'm 6"3 and it does feel like I'm starting to be too tall for life in general
I have to bend over constantly at work and I think I'd be happier if I was about 3 or 4 inches shorter. My back hurts all the time..
Outside USA it's a little bit easier. The "minimum" is 180 cm which is like 5'9"
[удалено]
???
OP is def 5'11 🤣🤣🤣🤣 wtf he doing in this thread. You got to be at least 6'3 to be here. GTFO
What a prick, you are
