Quote from: lessthanavg8300 on October 27, 2022, 05:54:22 PMI agree that height matters, I'm just saying that theres not a 6'0 cutoff like all guys online seem to be saying.  Thats actually impossible.  No women would have boyfriends.  There is however a cutoff at much shorter heights.

Being over 6'0 is like a girl with great tits.  Most women dont have great tits and well date them without them but its a bonus if they do have them.


To be honest, being short is more of a negative than being tall is a positive. This is why LL going from short to average has much better responses.

I think the biggest impact CLL could have in terms of dating options would be the jump from 5’2-5’4 to 5’5-5’7, since it would more than double the amount of women shorter than you, and anecdotally I’ve found that 5’3-5’5 women are a lot less picky about height than 4’11-5’2 women. I think the stigma of being really short hurts men tremendously, and I feel I would not have nearly the same dating success if I were 2 inches shorter than I am.

Jumping from 5’5-5’7 to 5’8-5’10 is where I’d assume you’d see the largest jump in terms of options among attractive women. I’ve found that most attractive women with options have an internalized minimum height for a guy to be taller than them in heels, and I imagine being closer to average height really makes a massive difference.

Hitting that 5’11-6’1 mark IMO would be the point where your height suddenly becomes a pretty big plus, and 90%+ of women will be attracted to your height alone. Of course, if you’re unattractive in other ways, and don’t know how to talk to women, it won’t matter in the least, but being tall is enough to make women look past some minor flaws. I’ve heard a phrase before that every inch above 6 feet is a free red flag a guy can get away with, and I think there’s some truth in that.

Quote from: Icarus on October 27, 2022, 05:45:52 PMWhile I think having a defeatist attitude is not helpful at all, I do think that height is a tremendous hurdle to overcome in dating, and even some of us tend to underestimate it. I remember watching a special on ABC where a panel of women were asked to pick the man they’d most like to date out of a lineup of guys of various heights. They were told that the 5’11-6’2 guys had mediocre jobs, and that the 5’0-5’6 guys were surgeons, venture capitalists, chiefs of staff at a hospital, while on the side publishing best sellers, were champion skiers, and also gourmet chefs who were great with children. Despite that, nearly all of the women always chose the taller guys as the one they’d want to date. Even after piling on these insane credentials, none of them picked the 5’0 guy (in fact, they basically just mocked him), only one picked the 5’3 guy, the 5’6 guy was picked by half the women. But even when they thought he was a millionaire surgeon with tons of accomplishments, some women STILL chose the 6 foot plus gym teacher over him. When asked what it would take to make the 5’0 guy attractive to them, the women literally answered that the only way they’d choose him was if the rest of the lineup were murderers and rapists. It was messed up lol.


Listen, these women are morons.. Imagine if this was done on women.. I would put women who are fat, ugly, no hair and last but not the least short etc..It would have been considered outrageous to even do such an experiment..

Frankly, it doesn’t matter where you rank women. Men put out the invitation, and women are ultimately the ones who decide whether they go out with you and decide whether sex is on the table. The choice you are left with is deciding which of these women you commit to.

Women aren’t stupid for aiming for the most attractive partner they can find, it just means they have to wait longer and slowly lower their standards until they hit a match. Most women prefer tall guys, but scarcity means most women can’t lock down a tall guy, and will eventually have to settle. Try setting your dating app preferences to older women, and you’ll find that they are typically way less picky when it comes to height, presumably for this reason.

The real question is, do you want to wait until an attractive women settles for you? I don’t know about y’all, but I don’t want to be with someone who feels like they could’ve done better.

You make a fair point..The younger the woman, the more superficial she is

I meet girls in person and have plenty of options @ 5'8. Did not have much success with good looking girls online.

Quote from: shortisnotfun on October 27, 2022, 08:05:51 AMHow did your dating life go though? It's better than being 5'5 though.

My dating life is much better now compared to before. But it’s not just the height I have to have a low body fat so that my face looks better and have a good physique. 5’8 won’t destroy you if you have other things to save you. Although if I were 6’0 I’d have an exponentially easier time.

Quote from: informationispower on October 27, 2022, 09:13:22 AMI highly advise you to not take that user or the one above seriously. The toxicity is astounding. As a 5'7 guy I can tell you that at my height dating is fine. I might not get every girl I want (but who does really) but I am not being discarded automatically for being too short by the vast majority of girls and I only rarely got "you are too short" type of comments.
Some users here are either fake or completely lost mentally and only using this forum to vent so you should't take what they say to heart

Ok bro but how old are you? When you’re in your early 20s like me women have an abundance of options and no real reason to settle with someone who doesn’t meet every criteria they have. Again I’m talking about conventionally attractive women. Once they get older they will lower their standards as they could not find the guy who met all their specifics. At 21 I find that even at 5’8 I still have to work really hard to compete with the tall guys. And if I do get dates it’s because I was able to compensate for being short where the tall guy just has to not hinder his already set “attractiveness”

Is there really any question? Numerous journals have shown that height in male is correlated with dating success and attractiveness, perhaps up to an absurd height, otherwise its always better to be taller. 5'5 to 5'7 is a huge difference. You go from being taller than perhaps half to taller than most women. That is pretty significant.
