Quote from: Scarface on August 23, 2020, 02:11:01 PMHeight shouldn't matter when you're a solid average among your age and social group where you live, so 5'10" in the west and 2" below average is still acceptable (5'8", mayyyybe 5'7") and I don't think you should face heightism at that point and blend in just fine. Ideal would be 3 to 5 inches above average (6'1" - 6'3") not any more or less than that.
2 inches below average to average is acceptable
Solid average to 2 inches above is decent
More than 2 inches above average is good
At 5.8, almost noone call you short.
But the majority of women think you are not tall enough to look very attractive. If you have good style, body, face, many of them won't reject you byt still your height is a drawback. If you are less than 5.7, that drawback is that big that the majority of women won't really care about your other traits (face etc).
So the first border to be acceptable for a woman to most west countries (maybe not on Scandinavia and a few countries also with very tall peole) and have no problem with men (jokes etc) is 5.8.
But height doesn't matter after 5.11-6 ft. And if you are more than 6.2-3 max, height is a disadvantage.
So, the best height for men is anything between 5.11-6.2. Period.
