What is the ideal male height?

As I said girls from my country don't seem to like guys above 1.83. (average female height: 162cm) It's treated as a negative  trait
In fact I read the ideal height between female and male is usually around 12+ cm. So 162 and 174 goes pretty well. Too tall isn't necessarily better. And 170 goes well with a guy who's 182.

Is this important to you, why do you dislike tall men?

I'm sure it could be uncomfortable and awkward at times but surely it can't be such a deal breaker, what if you meet an amazing man who is 187CM?

An amazing man wouldn't matter if 183 or 187

Not sure what the ideal male height is but I would like to be 4 inches tall with a 6'4 inch penis.

I'd literally be a dck.

Quote from: endomorphisme on February 23, 2015, 12:47:32 PMTo come back to the topic , i would say the ideal height is 7-9 cm above the young men average of your ethnicity, you're tall but not too tall, in fact you're atleast taller than 85% of men.
For instance in uk/us/ it's 178.5-179 cm, so i would say 186-188 cm is ideal

For the netherlands, since the average is 183 cm, the perfect range is 190-192 cm.

USA average is 176 not 178

What is tall for me? I'm not sure about the numbers. At my original height of 164 I find men over 177 too tall for me, unless I am wearing very high heels. Since after LL I will be 170 or 171, I think that, according to my calculations, I will be very comfortable with men up to 185 or so, but no more. I don't want to feel like a shrimp!
If I happen to meet an amazing man who is 187 or 190 cm I would accept him as he is, but I would also accept an amazing man who is 1.72 or even less. I really don't care much about height in men, provided they are not too, too short or too, too tall.
This doesn't mean that I am not selective. I am very, very, very selective about men, but I don't discriminate on height or looks. I am more keen on discriminating on intellectual capacities or professional status. For example, I wouldn't date a man whom I perceive as having an IQ lower than 130 or as having no cultural background or a good career, even if he has Brad Pitt's looks.

I like you. You seem like an intelligent and together gal

And phew..after my LL, I'm in your "safe" range lol.

I've never cared about a woman's height, except only to the extent that I'm terrified of having short sons (if I do have kids, I'm not sure I want kids anymore). Even at 166cm, I was fairly picky, though, about a woman's weight/body shape (to me, since this can mostly be controlled, I'm just turned off by fat women on all levels) and her face. I'm obviously not a Ken doll, so I wasn't (and still not) looking for Barbie...but she's gotta pass the eye test first

I love waspy girls. Too bad because I feel like there's a lot of competition for them...

Quote from: musicmaker on January 26, 2015, 10:30:32 PMI agree, and I am not so short... (1.64<1.70, after LL).

I can't believe you felt the need to do LL. You didn't need it. I think 5'7" is a little too tall for girls personally, but then again, this is coming from a guy who was barely taller than you at 166. Although I did date many women taller than me, up to around 175 believe it or not (and they all asked me out, I never had the guys to).

I love women in the 5'3-5'5" range. Actually, 5'5" girls made me feel short. Now I feel like I can be at least as tall as 5'5" and below girls including when they wear their oh-so-precious heels.

I think taller women can be more assertive in the workplace. But height is not necessarily important for women:  Thai ex-PM Yingluck, USA defence secretary Condo Rice, Ex-Phillipines president Arroyo, Ex-Indonesia president Megawati .. though one might wonder if they were taller, perhaps they would be in office longer??

The IMF chief for instance (or is it world bank) is a French lady lawyer. She is 178.

Ideal height is probably anywhere 6'4"+ and under 7'0", though i'm sure there are guys 7'0"+ who can pull off their height but I haven't met them. Your bones should ideally scale somewhat proportionally as you get taller, meaning your entire body frame and skull increases in size. Problems arise when you just grow vertically, but I don't think this is much of a problem for the amount LLers are lengthening.

This study points to it being 6'5" to 6'8", which is reasonable to me.

Women like musicmaker that claim to not like 'too tall' guys do exist but they are few in number and I would rather look at what women do than what they say. And all my experience points to very tall males having no handicaps in the dating world, and certainly not in the business world.
