The life of a 5'9" guy (extreme case!).

I really don't think 5'9" can/should hold someone back from doing anything. You can pull girls np, make the money, be confident etc.
People may say "he's a lil short" or "he's average" - if they're asked, but that height isn't a detriment to anything in reality and not a height people whisper behind your back about or talk about. It's not an "unmanly" height either.

Just IMO. Ofc it all depends on how the individual feels and if you got bad height neurosis then nothing will change your mind.

The diference between a guy of 5'5 and one of 5'9 is that the 5'5 guy always will be judge by his height and the 5'9 isnt.

This. I always said that at about 5'8" (1.5 inches below average) is the "cutoff" for when your height can become a major issue. Though I feel like even the 5'7" ish guys generally get away with a lot of the heightism that's out there. 5'8"-5'9" really isn't much of a handicap unless you're dealing with women who have ultra strict height requirements of 6'0" and above.

That guy is all over facebook these days, had no idea he was 5'9 though, how do you know for sure? Also i heard he won most of his money through poker and inherited the rest or something.. of course with his kind of money height doesnt really matter, especially not when he is close to average anyway. Without his money his height could still end up being an issue for some people (girls mainly) if he is 5'9

I disagree. No idea what the guy looks like...but in my opinion, fundamentally speaking, if you're at least decent looking and take care of yourself, 5'9" should NOT be a handicap with women. At 5'9" you're taller than most girls even with their precious heels on (unless the girls are like 5'7" and wearing 12 inch stilettos, which some do, yes). I've never heard of women turning men down for being that height unless they were ultra extreme heightists and wouldn't date anyone 6'2" and up (but why would you want those girls anyway). I know for me, even if I did the surgery and got to 6'0" (which would never happen since I'm 5'6" and only doing this once), I wouldn't even want those girls.

At 5'6" or below, you start to be REALLY screwed, because a lot of girls are already your height, and when they put their heels on, you don't stand a chance. Not only do you obviously not get the heightists (no matter how good looking you are), you also start getting rejected by women who don't care that much about height simply because you're shorter than a lot of girls and look shorter compared to a lot of guys.

Well the bolded that you mentioned yourself is the reason why 5'9 could easily be a problem for some girls, at least when living in a country like Sweden, You arent short compared to the girls, but when compared to majority of dudes you will stand out as short or at least shorter, which could easily be an issue for some girls and in some situations, definitely at parties or social events if you are the shortest guy, even if you arent technically short it could be an issue. In my opinion it seems to be that way.

The most interesting man in the world is actually just 5'7''...

Touche. I suppose it's all relative. I guess I just can't fathom myself at 5'9" (all else equal) and having any issues with my height.

interesting isn't always attractive, while a girl with a brain will appreciate that a superficial girl won't find him attractive no matter what and ad I know that, not because of bad looks or height but, I'm often in groups with them and when they talk , they talk about everything , and what they find most attractive in man is a mix between mystery/good looks/height/good in bed/power

Edit Post

Honestly the girls who are not worth taking home to mum or not worth marrying are automatically weeded out because of a man's short stature. If you were a tall guy all the sloots and loser girls would be interested in you and you'd have to wonder about their sincerity or how superficial they are. Us short guys don't have that problem. Only decent girls who care about feelings and compatibility above all else are interested in giving a chance to slightly below average height guys (unless you got a huge dck or good looking face, then you'd have to wonder).

Btw mystery and having a distinguished look is SO huge to women. Getting premature gray/silver hair like a skunk tail on my head was like adding +10 cool and memorable points. I would take being a distinguished 5'7-8" guy over a plain 6'0" Joe any day.
