What is the ideal male height?

Edit Post

If based on that infographic, 6'1 (185 cm) is the ideal height in America, I am worried about Singapore.  Am I past the peak? Am I too tall?

The difference in average heights between America and Singapore is about 176 - 172 = 4 cm.

So it stands to reason that 185 - 4 cm = 181 cm is the ideal height in Singapore.

Thank God I am able to reach 181 cm  (at least, its my night height!)

They want men at taht height so they dont have to worry about you cheating on them, and so they can control the relationship (not being outshined by their partner)

Nope. their reason is: hes too tall, weird, awkward when we go out, too big height difference, etc
it has been shown conclusively that the ideal difference between male and female height is 12 cm
Pls tell me what is the source of your infographic because it firmly supports my earlier observations. thanks bro! 
if anything I asked a gay friend, whats the ideal height of your bf. He said 181 is fine, 182 abit too tall, and 183 is too tall (he is himself, 181 cm - quite a common height in singpaore nowadays).
I asked another gay, he said, 180 is too tall. see? im sure the minds of girls and gays are similar. the short gays want tall guy partners to fk them, but not too tall.

fact: not all women want to be shrimps. musicmaker and diso surely don't want to. if they are the only female posting members, I think... hmmm., surely in the general population, this thought is replicated. I don't believe that females want males who are 20-30 cm above them. If the average height of a female in America is 162, a good difference between male and female is apparently 12- 15 cm, so 177 is probably good. 188? that's waaaaaaaaaaaaaay pushing it.

matter of fact? in Singapore, the hunks get the attention, and they aren't even 183 (maybe a small percent are). most hunks are about 170, 173 is common, 175 probably , 178 is already pushing it. the taller u get, harder to build muscles.
but I can possibly agree with your comment in the other thread (distorted views of members thread). it is a defensible opinion. but I don't think it holds much water.

Quote from: ItsMyLife on March 01, 2015, 05:37:22 AMI did not ask my family members.  I have asked female friends and random girls on the internet. Why would they lie to me, if they do not know about my surgery? Plus. when i meet them i am about 180. due to lifts. They said 182 is Okay. 183? too tall already. Most of them came to the same conclusion: 183 is too tall in Singapore. I was so shocked. I wanted 188 or so but  I was forced to concede. There is a certain extent, whereby things are really too much. And height is one thing. You can be skinny and attractive, but too skinny for a woman? Nope, not attractive. Look up attractiveness theories: average face is somewhat more attractive. This confirms my hypothesis that "too tall" or 3 standard deviations or so from average, is really, not attractive.

If you were to look at your infographic carefully the ideal height is about 6 feet, that is where the peak is. It experiences that decline that I spoke about (remember? my anecdotal evidence. which is now supported) after about 6 feet or 6'1". As I have already said, in America, too tall is probably 185 - 188 cm.

I like this infographic.Where did you get it from? it inadvertently supports my conclusions because you have very poor comprehension and reading skills. I wonder if you even went into a university, let alone high school.

The peak is at 6'1" actually, i'm sorry you couldn't discern that because you are too drugged up from your surgery in your quest to become tall for your country. If you notice, all heights between 6'1" and 6'5" and males that are 6'7" receive MORE messages than 6'0" males. But that's splitting hairs at this point, the most important thing to note is that the claim of being too tall at such heights are vastly unsupported/overstated.

I am only on paracetamol (even I am off that, in the morning and last night until the slight pains kick in)
Anyway thanks to your graph, as I said the peak is 6'0 or 6'1. I used ruler to see clearly and yes the peak is 6'1.
Hence anything above 6'1 is too tall already.
For an average guy or slightly average guy doing LL, I would advise him only to go to 6'1 if it is in America (if that is where the infographic is, and if it is accurate).
we have to know your source, dude. instead of just throwing random images. are you even university educated?

Yup I was forced to concede when I asked so many girls and 183 was too tall in my country.
I wantd to do 188 cm, and I am capable of doing so (if I do a second femur surgery).
However, from my surveys, and I don't wanna jeopardise my love life, 183 is too tall, and so, I will NOT go to 188.

Quote from: meursault on March 01, 2015, 05:29:43 AMSeeing you scramble to piece together your annihilated fragments is pretty hilarious. First you claim that no country has an average height of 6', and you were [rightfully] told off by me. Now you're throwing numbers at me about the height of Scandinavian military conscripts (not even the general population), when I wasn't even talking about Scandinavia; I was talking about the Netherlands. I didn't even mention the more rural areas of the dinaric alps, which have average male heights of 6'1 and over. To make it even better, these Scandinavian heights you are throwing at me are only very slightly beneath the 6 feet you claimed no country had as an average. You're humiliating yourself.

The fact of the matter is that the men at the heights you claim to be 'too tall' have no struggles in the dating market whatsoever, certainly not due to their height. You can throw anecdotes at me, and I can respond with accounts of tall men with decent faces I've known getting massive amounts of female attention (far more than those of average height) by just breathing.

Of course your female friends and family members would lie to you, maybe they even believe what they're saying. But womens' actions are different, it means nothing next to the vim and desire with which a woman looks upon a tall man. Just like a woman saying your face isn't that big of a deal or something of the sort.



Furthermore, being 'too tall' is infinitely superior to being 'too short'. 'Too short' is essentially a sexual death sentence every single time, whereas 'too tall' carries much less of a negative connotation- we're more talking preferences and nitpicking rather than visceral disgust that women have toward men beneath their height threshold. They would date a man who is 'too tall', while they would never consider a man who is 'too short'. This isn't even mentioning women who prefer that height.

Funny how the ideal height coincides perfectly with the height you can (and desire to) achieve with limb lengthening surgery. Maybe it's not ideal though, just a thought.

I can't wait until I'm 6'0. I do well with women already; when I hit 6'0, I'm going to slay like there is no tomorrow!

As his data supports my anecdotal evidence, 6'0 is a good height, 6'1 too  (in America). Where do you stay?

I think you're missing the context of the graph. The point was not to autistically break out your ruler to find the highest point (which is only infinitesimally larger than the 6'4" and 6'7" points really), but to show you that your 'too tall' hysteria is irrational and that tall men aren't these freaks shunned by women like you like to convince yourself.

Also, this isn't taking into account other factors. This is just a graph of height and messages received without being controlled for anything else, so of course it's going to jump around slightly (using the same logic you applied to the graph being 5'3" would be superior to being 5'4" which is laughable). I'm just demolishing your 'too tall' nonsense, as though men above 6'1" are totally undesired by women. You made it out to be as though really tall men are these sexual pariahs women want nothing to do with. So much for that asinine theory.

Obsessing over university status, what a joke man. This is really a huge thing in Asian culture, isn't it? The sooner you realise attractive 6'1+ losers who never went to a university that stack shelves and pump gas for a living are getting more tits and pussy snapchats on the weekly than you will get in your entire life (and in general living a superior life to you, going to more cool parties than you, banging badder bitches than you), the better.

By the way, I have another interesting thing you can mull over if you're so fascinated with the points on a graph, my friend. From the same source (http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-biggest-lies-in-online-dating/)



How can you honestly go so quick from spouting how awful being 'too tall' is to arguing semantics with me, when I was just trying to show you this 'too tall' nonsense you were vomiting up earlier was total bull ? Are you really so naive as to think very tall men are undesired by women and that there's some massive dropoff at your goal height?
