Yeah but 5'10 is a good height. We both wear lifts occasionally and be honest at 5'9-5'10 you don't feel short right?

Indeed. That's why I find it hard to understand anyone who is 5'9+ and wants to do this.

Well women really care about height 5'10 means that your height is no longer a drawback but 6' is when it starts to become a positive.

My life experience has thought me that height is severly overated in this forum. Also the life experience of my friends and collegues.

It depends on your area bro. In some areas girls are taught to really value height.

Kind of have to agree with this tbh. Height definitely is a big deal, but it is just as big of a factor as looks (facial features, smile etc), body (muscles), wealth, and others. And in my experience it appears to be..
Under 5'9: Negative, with every inch below 5'9 being worse and worse. 5'7 and 5'8 aren't too bad though, as long as it's taller than the girls.
5'9-5'11: Mostly neutral, you don't lose points but you don't gain them either, though the taller you are here still the better in comparison to others in the average category
6'0-6'2: Your height is now a positive feature that gives you points, and being "tall" defines you in your description
6'3+: Mostly positive, however the points give diminishing returns after 6'2, and can even become negative passed 6'5 as you start to enter "freak" territory (if you're not a pro athlete of course)
So yeah. In my opinion height, just like the other feature I mentioned, is crucial attribute in ones appearance and the more points you have in it the less you can have in other areas, meaning shorter guys have to make up for the "negative" points by being extra positive in other things. Though it'd be nice to be tall and have positive points, I personally think being in the "neutral" category is great because height isn't as important as other things like personality and confidence, but by being in the neutral you won't be held back by it at all.
I guess all the girls that dated me before I started lifting were not programed according to how you guys see they should be (or maybe there is some kind of extreme height fetish in the states who knows.. In canada there isn't since I was able to score there via tinder no problem).
I am a mere 5'7 and not only I didn't have any problem with women (staying single single usually no more than a month) a few chicks even cheated on their taller BFs with me.
Height is overly exaggerated here in it's importance.
It is important don't get me wrong but it's not a deal breaker if you are taller than the girl.
And about where it starts to get worse and worse, my current and ex GFs both told me that I am on the lower end of normal height and a "minimum" for a guy is to be 170cm
Nah man, if you're only 5'7 it just means you're a beast in other areas. And if they chose you over the taller guys than that means you were probably better looking, had a better personality, or other things over them and possibly all of those combined. Imagine how great you'd be at 5'10+!
And I definitely agree about the taller than the girl part. I still think my ranges are accurate, but the points are severely higher or lower based on whether or not you're taller than the girl in question.

I am never going to be 5'10+ since I intend on a max of 6cm which will put me at max at 5'9.7
Reasons being the fact that I don't believe in the advantages of height as they are portraid here and (2) I am very proportion aware
It depends on area man I keep saying this. I have been measured numerous times at 5'8 yet I am still extremely short and it is not in my head. The conclusion I can arrive to after this is just that it all depends on area.
