Quote from: YellowSpike on March 06, 2015, 05:02:29 PMI agree. And I did notice that once I adjusted my confidence/way I carry myself, I did well with women despite my height. But it was still an uphill battle on the inside, and "confidence/acting dominant" doesn't work on all women. And it definitely doesn't work with online dating (where a lot of dating/hooking up takes place these days), because they can't gauge your "confidence" from your profile (although I did make one profile where I was blatantly a dck on POF, and I got lots of hookups from that. I gear my profiles to a target audience I suppose).
Well, yeah, being self-assured won't work with all women, but it will with a lot (just like being good-looking and rich won't work with all women). With online dating, you just put 10'0 as your height. If they ask you your height, say 10'0.
Statistical & Anecdotal Proofs that 6 Feet is Ideal, Taller is not ideal

hahaha! I actually think they cap off the height at something like 7'11" on Match.com if I'm remembering correctly.
Women will always follow the crowds. Thats why they keep calling 6'0 as ideal hght. This makes me think that maybe they dont care too much about height as we men do (specially us, old forum LL Forum BodyBF).Also, think about how most of the girls want to lose weight so bad. The skinnier the better they think as we got our the taller the better, which is actually true, but there's a limit.
Btw stop focusing just on girls when it comes about LL, this whole thread has come to "what would girls think about my new hght" and soon the whole forum.

Agreed

I agree. For everything, there is a limit. Too much, is not good.
Only 2 members chose above 6'1 as the ideal height, in fact. Out of 25 voters.
So the consensus between male and female is that either 6' or 6'1 is the ideal.
Case closed.
I guess many people here didn't vote for 'above 6'1' because they know, they are never going to acciev this height.
Anyways it's dumb to argue about things like beauty and aestethics. What is considered as ideal depends on many parameters and is a very personal thing. Doing a poll about that won't make any difference, I for instance consider 6'2 as ideal and there is no way a poll or article could change my mind. I would not waste my time and try to persuade others of my personal opinion. Just accept that different people have different opinions.

If a survey was done and women voted on the survey, then we can safely say that "x centimetres" is the ideal height if you are interested in women.
It seems from UK and USA surveys that x = 183 or lower.
If you are interested in men, its a different game altogether.
If you are doing surgery for yourself, then 6'2 is not a problem.
I could in theory reach 6'2 but I wouldn't want that. I want to look good in women's eyes and in my society, 6'2 stands out way too much as well.
I agree that it's something different in an asian country.
You'd look out of proportion as well, if your starting height was 174.
I prefere girls who are close to 180 so this might explain why 6'2 would be ideal for me.

Yup my country is one of the tallest ones in asia - official average at 172+ but I think and my friends think its more like 175.
183 already is top 10 percent or so, and I am more than happy with that.
In fact, at 179 now I am pretty happy, and even if I cannot lengthen anymore, 179 is a good height in Asia.
I have long arms, and a long torso. The only limiting factor is wingspan (wingspan of 174). But if I do arm lengthening, then yes theoretically 188 is possible.
