Importance of height by each inch

Edit Post

Many short guys are intelligent

Edit Post

Yeah obviously. Its just, based on advanced statistical studies, the correlation between height and intelligence is positive. It is important to define, what intelligence actually means though. For some it is academic success, for others its simply the ability to thrive and adapt in unfamiliar situation - things that even cave men from 10 000 years ago could claim.

Quote from: aspirant185 on December 18, 2015, 12:33:51 AMI didnt say Harvard in general, I said Harvard Business School. There is a difference. Harvard in general has 21 000 students, whereas HBS has around 2,000 at most. The later basically represent the future CEOs/CFOs/Bankers/Consultants/ that are typically way taller than the average.
I am currently studying at a top business school in Germany, and I can attest, that it is EXTREMELY rare (I cant think of a stronger word) , it is extremely rare to see somebody below 182. The average should be about 184. The girls should AVERAGE 172-3. I know some girls who are also around 180+ (think of Maria Sharapova - blond and tall).

When I walk around in the city, people seem normal, average should be like slightly above 178.

How can it be extremely rare to see anyone below 182 if the average is around 184?

"5'11 is ideal for women". Who said that? be 5'8+ and you are out of the short or slightly short realm. There is nothing wrong with being average height. I myself am 171cm (5'7 inches) and have never had problems with girls shorter than me (I even dated two who were highier). Of course some might have rejected me because of my height or because I wasnt their type but there is no "optimal height range" for girls. This is high-school talking and does not give any hope for the 5'5 or 5'6 who want to both get higher and coserve as much as they can their athletic capabilities. I for example want to get to 176 which is the avarege in my country (Israel), and it is also the average in most countries across the world (Germany and the rest of the nordic and aryan countries dont interest me in terms of normal height). And if I will be called short by a girl if I am average, than this girl does not merit me and can go search for a highier dude that she will surely dump if she is that much shallow.

In most parts of central or northern europe you are average at 5´11 or above so being 5´8 is defenitely on the shorter side. My gf said that she would not have approached me if I was 5´9 or below. So there are quit a lot of women who care about a mans height.

1) As I said, Aryan and nordinc (including netherlands of course) does not interest me as I come from a place where the average for man is 175-176. Some people are shorter because of genetics (that's how it is).

2) how high is your GF?

3) I didnt say that women dont care about a man's height. They do. But, a girl who only looks for "the perfect height" in a man, is not a girl I would personaly would like to date. Samw with a girl who will only date a man with blue eyes or a man that goes to the gym.

 Looks are important... There is no doubt about that. But if a man or a woman cannot look at the big picture: Height+facial beauty+body type+weight and will only judge you on one of them (that is if all of them are within the "normal range" and for a man or a woman the partner must be "super hot") than he/she is shallow. Nothing more

She doesn´t like weed. I don´t know how you define an aryan country but pretty much every country in europe has an average of 180 or above (only italy, spain and france have lower averages).

i meant her height

Edit Post

She says she is 165, I think she is shorter though. Something around 163 would be my guess.
I know that you meant her height but the word high just made me laugh  .

Edit Post

still, If I will ad 5cm to my femurs I will be 176. Than I will keep wearing the shoes that I always wear (which add to my height 3cm+1cm because I put inside of them a thing to keep my flatfoot from hurting me) I will be 180 which is 5"10. The height you get walking barefoot has no meaning since you always wear shoes.
