Are women attracted to those doofy looking tall guys?

Quote from: NewHeights on February 19, 2015, 03:23:07 AMI think that most girls would not want a 6'5 guy, but because they are rare and stick out, the girls who are interested in those guys will be all over them. They don't have the largest dating pool, but have the most girls "after them" because of their rarity.

I think I agree.

There will be like 10-20% of girls who like his rare height, and so he seems to be popular with quite a few girls (he is not popular with the whole school, just a handful of girls really like him).

The vast majority would think he is too tall. (unless he has countervailing points like good looks).

Which is why I chose 182 cm as my final height; this is tall in Singapore (which is equivalent to 186 cm in America). A wide number of girls will like your height - ie, that sense of security, and a small proportion will even love you so much as you are tall.

I totally understand. Which is why I said the dude in my university was pretty average looking, not too bad looking in fact.

I mean. Since we have a choice of wht height to be (since we are lengthening), it will be best to choose a height that is going to have the highest chances of success and in my opinion, that is ~183 cm (In Asia), which corresponds to ~187 cm in America. Each cm of lengthening poses risks and becomes tougher and more painful with each cm. I think to gain any height above that cut-off point, is NOT worth it (risk-benefit analysis).

nope 186 cm at least which is 6'2 or 6'3 to feel tall in America. (Just as I expect to feel tall at 6' in Singapore)
6' is just above average, and many people in America should be six feet. (equivalent of 5'10 or 5'11 in Singapore which is pretty common here also)

Almost half the Americans are six foot and above, short people are the ones who distort statistics and drag the numbers down specially if they did these statistics including Hispanics and such in the mix so I agree 6'3" should be the epitome.

That's not even close to being true.

In Singapore, I think girls will easily be able to accept guys from 170-175 which is our average (average height here is officially 172.4). If you translate the figures to America, it is 174 - 179 is acceptable as average height guys.

I think it might be a little harder work for guys who are 165-169. If we translate this to America, we add 4 cm as usual (cause average height is 4 cm taller), so 169 - 173 cm guys in America will find a harder time. In my opinion, in the range of 165-169 in Singapore, it is a difference. I mean 169 isn't that bad. 165 is like... really short.  In fact, 165 cm is pretty uncommon here. When I see a guy like that who meets me, I am like: "Wow he's so small like a kid!". And I feel kinda awkward with him. So that's how short 169 cm is, in AMERICA.

I'm actually 169 cm tall and have never been called short.

Tom cruise has been called short and he is 171 cm? (but is he actually shorter? cause he sure doesn't look so).

I am just commenting based on addition of 4 cm due to the American height being 4 cm taller than the average singaporeans. I am sure there are limitations to this method.
