Importance of height by each inch

This is assuming that face and proportions remain constant and you just scale up/down in size.

5'2

↓ Not much of a difference here since you're already extremely short

5'3

↓ Obviously will be better but still very short

5'4

↓ This is where every inch starts to matter, life or death

5'5

↓ Takes you from white female and Indian/Asian male average to slightly above, Very Crucial

5'6

↓ Closer to manhood, wont be mistaken for a boy as easily

5'7

↓ Still short but will now be easier to find girls that you're a few inches taller than

5'8

↓ This is not as crucial as other inches but still good

5'9

↓ This inch is useful as it makes you average height

5'10

↓ Important inch because you will be able to claim 6' and people will believe you

5'11

↓ Important because this puts you into the female ideal range

6'

↓ Go from slightly taller than average to Tall, not that important just depends on preference

6'1

↓ A nice inch to gain to take you to one of the most favored heights

6'2

↓ Barely matters

6'3

↓ This is a good range if you want to stand out more and be known as "the tall guy" and run height fetish game

6'4

↓ No importance, can be a positive or a negative depending on the situation

6'5

↓ Slight negative, you're seen as the really tall guy, too noticable

6'6

↓ Sharper negative, the benefits of height stopped a few inches ago

6'7

↓ Getting worse, starting to look freakish and need to run extreme height fetish game

6'8

interesting to see a decent and accurate representation on height.

good job.

but you wont be able to say your 6 0 at 5 10, lots of girls are 5 4 and 5 5, they can tell if they are looking up to you by 5 or 7".

id say at 5 11 you could tell girls your 6 0, they probably wont notice, unless they are 5 9 and not many women are 5 9 anyway.


there is always a 5 5 guy in the room assuming its a largish room, just remember that, anything below that is way not normal, i don't think i've spoken to a many men shorter than 5 4 in my life to be honest.

Well for the most this is very accurate . thanks

This should go under "height & proportions"

It should also be noted that this is all very relative to one's own locaton and preferences.

I personally don't think it's a good idea to perpetuate ideals of height in this community considering how toxic it can be to certain people here and there; but I digress. Just focus on be taller then what you already are and looking as best as possible.

The one inch between 5'10 and 5'11 is extremly important in my oppinion, you'll go from slightly below the average to a perfect spot on average. Especially if your morning height is around 179.
I don't think that you can pull of 6' though, at least If the girl is close to your height. Most guys your height can tell the difference between 5'11 and 6' anyways.

my friend is five ten.    i have friend that is five eleven.   i hve friend that is six feet.   i can see difference

if you five ten.  you cant lie you are six.  they can see it

mine are


5' 4“      super short.

5' 5“      very short

5' 6“      short

168-169.5   'a bit on short side' but normal/common, not officially short but not quite within average range.

5' 7“/170+    within average range (1 standard deviation of the mean).

5' 8“       within average range, but closer to average

5' 9“       within average range, close enough to average where you have a 100% great height.

I personally dont put much stock in my height whether i am 5 7 or 5 9, it is more 5 5 vs. 5 7

I didn't bother listing beyond 5 9 because i don't think it is important at all to be taller than 5 9.

Ouch I thought I was very short at 5' 4" but I completely agree with u. At 5' 6" I will still be short but I could live with going from super short to short.

I live in NYC and it is very rare when I see someone shorter than me but honestly most women are 5' 5"- 5' 6" thats why if I gain 2.5 inches that will mean the world to me.

cool, i know a few guys 5 6, i know way more guys 5 7 though, i'd say a 5 7 guy is about 20x more common than a 5 5 guy, its a pretty big leap in commonality.

it's pretty common to walk by 4 guys in a row that are 5 7, or have 4 men standing next to each other that are 5 7, but that will never happen at 5 5!

personally i never knew a guy my height of 5 5, but i did see them in public gatherings i just didn't know any of them.

i think the issue with being 5 5 is that while there is usually one guy 5 5 in a room of about 40 men, but if you are 5 5 then that means its YOU who is that one lol.

are you 162.5 or 163, most people do 7cm so at that height you would be 170, personally i wouldn't stop at 5cm unless it was necessary or i was 5 6 to begin with.
