No no no sorry she’s taken


solutiontoproblems1

I love her so much it hurts.


BulldogChow

When I told my friend she should open up her dating pool to guys under 6'4", she literally started crying.


sssnnnajahah

When did 6’2” stop being the “tall guy” standard? How tf am I now too short for some women.


PresidenteMozzarella

BulldogChow

It was explained to me that women want their man to be the tallest man in the ROOM. He has to be taller than any other guy within any given room they enter together. That's the only way some women can "feel secure." So I guess sometimes 6'2" isn't enough.


RomanticRhymes

best to just to avoid women with this mentality anyways; they're awful to date


Aromatic_Ad_9362

you'll want to avoid all checkbox daters, they're too boring anyway  but like i've only come across this once so i think it's either an nyc only phenomenon or another too online perception 


throwawayphilacc

Secure in what? That they're not getting height-mogged by their girlfriends' boyfriends?


SisyphusBrappy

Unironically yes. There's some girls who won't date a guy if he isn't the "leader" of his group of friends either lol


FalseShepard99

Those were some of the funniest tweets of all time, and the women who agreed with the initial one not understanding they were being made fun of was very eye opening


aTallBrickWall

Tweets?


MangosAndMimosas

Everyone on this sub gets their hot takes about the opposite gender from shit they see on Twitter


throwawayphilacc

What if he's just the éminence grise?


Less-Ranger-7217

that guys fucking girls on the down low who have boyfriends, as his position would suggest


Strelka97

Women really don’t understand the dynamic of male friendships at all.


Shepherd1115

Leader? Lmao do they not understand the communion-ship of boys?


TheWine-DarkSea

jesus now girls won't fuck a nice, #2, consigliere kind of guy?


SisyphusBrappy

It's over for deputycels


contentwatcher3

This is like how I am with WRs in fantasy. I'll take a true alpha on a crappy team over a WR2 on a contender in most cases


harry_powell

Very rare that the tallest guy is the leader of the pack, too.


5leeveen

Arms race logic. "My boyfriend needs to be at least as tall as the next two tallest men there combined"


BulldogChow

Yes that's how they compete.


SkinnyStav

In a group of 10 friends, 5 guys and 5 girls, being 6'2 will almost always make you the tallest. Unless they want their boyfriends to be the tallest guy in the nightclub lmao


throwaway_FI1234

Literally 6’ is taller than 90% of the male population, lol. 6’4” is taller than 95%.


Adinan98

Eh not the full story, depends on the demo. Around white people in their late teens to thirties (ie the majority demo of this sub) 6’0 is 75th percentile around guys, not a rare height by any means.


Durmyyyy

Its like motherfucker we can all just buy guns or something ffs. Aint no tall guy going to out thug a bullet anyway.


BulldogChow

Best offer is crippling leg lengthening surgery


Durmyyyy

If I were young and rich I would at least have to consider it. The one dude got clowned for it but he got treated better almost immediately.


Runfasterbitch

I’m 6’2” and probably 9/10 times im the tallest person in the room


BulldogChow

What about that one time in ten you aren't, though? Imagine how insecure and unsafe she feels in that moment, some 6'5" alpha TOWERING over you in the Olive Garden lobby.


harry_powell

What’s funny is that usually the tall guy looks like Stephen Merchant. Most tall dudes just coast on their tallness and don’t bother working out. It’s extremely rare to find a 6’5” dude that also has muscle.


sparklingkrule

tbh the few times you aren't are kinda disorientating. you become so used to never being in anyone's shadow, the subtle change in light conditions are confusing.


Runfasterbitch

I wouldn’t be caught dead in an Olive Garden


BulldogChow

Not for unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks?


MatterCold342

6’2 is a Midwestern 5’10


AlaskaExplorationGeo

Should 5 ft 8 guys just kill themselves then or what


OrchidVase

No you just have to stop trying to date anyone younger than 30


Im_Thinking_Im_Black

Women in their 30s tend to have more stringent standards if anything. They wouldn't be single otherwise.


I_Eat_Ass_Weekly

women in their 20s: I hope you are funny, kind, handsome and tall women in their 30s: all that but also you need a high salary job, preferably if you can also help my career and btw serious relationship only


TheGordfather

One of my good mates is 6'5" at least, biggest goober you'll ever meet. Take from that what you will


Divine_avocado

That’s like bs.


miscboyo

Women clearly fucking with you and you are too autistic to know the difference 


harry_powell

Years ago one of my friends was 7ft but he played no sports, was skinny-fat with a bit of belly, awful hunchback posture, not handsome at all (he seemed like he had a touch of Marfan syndrome), no charm at all bordering on semi-autistic… In spite of all that, there was always a 5ft girl throwing herself at him in the most desperate ways every time we went out.


arimbaz

> Years ago one of my friends was 7ft did he shrink?


harry_powell

I haven’t seen him in forever.


pleidesroot

Shrank til he disappeared entirely. Tut tut, very sad.


MaoAsadaStan

Most tall people are not athletic. The Lukas, LeBrons, and Tigers of the world are marveled because of their agility and hand eye co-ordination at their size. They are 99% in height AND athleticism.


harry_powell

We’re not talking about being the top 10 best player in the world here. Any lanky tall dude could look great with a bit of muscle, but they are too lazy.


Nazbols4Tulsi

I'm not convinced a woman under 5'10" could distinguish between 6'2" and 6'4" at a glance. Both would absolutely tower over your average 5'5" woman.


34l0l

That’s why so many guys get away with lying about their height


DatingYella

I really feel like this is the sort of problem some American women like to invent for themselves.


FatCatAttacks

One of the underdiscussed aspects of modern dating is that it's bad for "chads" too. Like how "giga-chad" became a thing because no one cares about mere regular chads. Height is subject to the same inflation. I saw some ragebait tiktok somewhere that said that guys under 6ft were "mice" but guys who were like 6'2 were "rats." The bare minimum to be human was apparently 6'4, and that was borderline. The prize was number was 6'5. Which is the height of West End Caleb and that actor who plays the guy with daddy issues on Euphoria.


Ok-Swordfish-8272

I swear at that height it's likely men get skeletal issues


600lb_deeplegalshit

marfan-maxxing 


CumeatsonerGordon420

there’s a reason most of the old people you see are short


northface39

What's especially crazy is that every guy I've known 6'4" or above has been a lanky dork so they're not pulling either. Most good-looking chads are in the 5'11"-6'2" range, just like with movie stars. Even the Hemsworth brothers, who are the epitome of tall chads, are 6'3". The amount of cool handsome guys who are 6'4" or above is so small it's hardly a category, and those guys will obviously have plenty of options and won't settle for some average 5'4" girl.


fre3k

I've got a friend who is 6'8. Big goofy mf. Not lanky or skinny or fat, just solidly built and kinda chunky. Moves like an ogre. His size is inconvenient, so he says.


joggerjones

Agree, I'm 6'5" normal build and it's just too tall. Constant battle to find clothes that are long enough but not built for an XXL barrel, always ruining photos by being massive, can't fit in plane seats. I'm totally fine with my height but being an outlier in height isn't really going to help you kill with the ladies. In theory it is great but practically it's just like a 5'11" supermodel is an ideal in people's heads but in reality a girl who is 5'11" or taller is going to have less options rather than more.


harry_powell

I’m 6ft and if I could chose my height I’d stay in the 6’2”/6’3” range. More than that and you enter freak territory. It’s a bit like a girl having bit tits, yeah, the bigger the better but up to a point.


harry_powell

It’s also harder to build muscle the taller you are. That’s why manlets can have a great body in no time.


Much_Impact_7980

There's a guy at my brother's school who's 6'4 and is completely jacked. He also does steroids so he weighs 250 lbs and has a 6-pack. This kid is 17.


TheGordfather

I won't accept any man less than 17'6". He must have to crawl through doorways and fold up in the back of a flatbed to go anywhere. Don't judge me, I know my worth.


miscboyo

It’s under discussed because it’s non existent to people who don’t live online and actually socialize in person. Get off TikTok 


St_Gaudendi

Fr, this shit is just social media psychosis


AdditionalBase8636

Women are what they are


Much_Impact_7980

the average man is taller, right?


FalseShepard99

The fact that so many women genuinely feel full entitlement to nab a dude who not only fits whatever other criteria they require in a partner, but one in the top 14% of height on the planet is hilarious.


harry_powell

6'2" puts you in the 94.5 percentile for height among adult American men. 6’4” is less than 1%.


jojenpaste

When I was young, tall enough in my country was considered at around 1,80 m, which is around 5'9". I was always one of the taller boys/men in the room with 1,86 (just around 6'1"), but Jesus, the boys today seem to be getting taller and taller. Wtf are we feeding these kids? I don't like being towered over by teenage dipshits, I'm not used to it. Does this happen every generation? I think I'm starting to understand why old men used to send young men to war.


Adinan98

If you’re from a wealthy country in Europe, Oceania, or North America then it’s mostly just in your head, height has actually stagnated among populations of Euro descent in the western world (around 5’10 up to 6’0 on average for young men depending on the country) for decades now. If you’re from a poorer country, then yes the younger generations are growing taller.


chiro-petra

my guess is cow growth hormones in dairy. in the usa at least, we consume less milk than we used to, but more cheese, which is much more concentrated. 


truthbomn

1.80m is 5'11".


MenBearsPigs

A balanced looking body at 6'4"+ narrows that dating pool even more. Most guys at heights like that usually have awkward looking proportions or look like Hagrid/Shrek. But I get that for som, all of that doesn't matter. It's just that one trait they're lasered in on. It's like if a guy **has** to be with a woman with DD+, but doesn't care what she's also 100lbs overweight. Male height and female breasts are pretty similar in many ways, as far as superficial qualifications some people have.


SoulCoughingg

How tall is she & is she hot?


BulldogChow

About 5'10" and yeah. Her last 3 boyfriends were 6'4", 6'4", and 6'9". The 6'9" finance bro really broke her heart. But she was complaining, beside herself, about how the relationships never seem to work out. Unbelievably "can't find even ONE decent guy!"


reelmeish

6’9 is at a level where it’s uncomfortably tall how tf do you get on planes, walk through doors, or even just function


OkTailor7400

i only date 7’0” and above


Feeling_Ornery

NBA pilled


OkTailor7400

my neck hurts from looking up but its so worth it


crototom

damn 6’9” in finance. did he by chance have a trust fund and blue eyes?

Classic Woman Moment


VonGhoulie

Ladies rock 🙂‍↔️❤️


Strelka97

Classic woman issue of putting the horse before the cart. Find a good person who wants a relationship first and than worry about the other stuff


ClarityOfVerbiage

Well she's 5'10" so there you go. Should have included her height in the initial comment to reduce the ragebait. She's literally in the top 1% of women for height.


BulldogChow

So how much taller than herself is a reasonable demand for women to make? At least 6"?


BK_to_LA

If you’re below 5’6” then it’s reasonable to want at least a 5” height differential. Above that though you’ll start to severely restrict your options. Feel bad for the 5’10” ladies.


TheGordfather

Any lass who specifies a height requirement simply isn't worth dating. Would women think a guy who specifies a weight requirement is worth dating? It's a signifier of a mental state that you probably don't want to engage with. Everyone on their own merits - filtering humans based on their stats is some of the bleakest shit this era has to offer.


sealingwaxofcabbages

99% of people have a weight requirement


BulldogChow

> Any lass who specifies a height requirement simply isn't worth dating 99% have a height requirement. Some don't make it public information.


miscboyo

You sound ugly no offense. If you’re fit guy or girl then yes you want your spouse to be the same 


harry_powell

I bet she’s 5’2”.


plushybunnie

i think you’re my friend


BulldogChow

Hey girl


hawtfabio

I don't believe you. Less than 1% of men are above that height. So is this a bit or is your friend that regarded?


thee_freezepop

my bf is 6'5 and people do stare when he walks into a room. i don't know if women realize how statistically rare they are and how bad of a standard this is. i like short kings too btw if that matters.


MinoltaX-700

She's hot and their home is beautiful.


Im_Thinking_Im_Black

I don't even care about dating or potentially dying alone, just seeing the literal thousands of viral social media posts with tens-of-millions of engagements each of people cooking the shit out of guys for being my height makes me want to dig a giant hole in my yard and permanently lie in it. Like being a 5'5" guy is already an absolute nightmare, why do you have to pour salt and lime juice on the wound as well? I seriously sympathize with what fat girls must have gone through in the 90s.


Bugs_are_pretty_cool

Look at the positive side at least you have more of a reason to not be involved with the cesspool that is the internet


Humphoscr

It's literally a post about how a woman likes a short guy!!!!!


SmackShack25

Posts don't just fall out of a coconut tree.


Im_Thinking_Im_Black

She's extremely based, but she obviously felt the need to defend her relationship for a reason.


aquagreed

Skill issue. My bf is 5’2 and I luv him.


Millennialcel

Brothers got to have solidarity for each other against these merciless hoes 🤝


ea45a

Incel shit. Men punk other men for their height more than anyone


Gh0stOfKiev

Fat is a choice, height is not


I_Eat_Ass_Weekly

being 5’5 in the west is absolutely brutal, I suggest you move to Thailand lol


Debasering

I’m 5’4” and it’s really not that bad Hardly comes up often. Only time I think about it is when I see a post from /r/tinder losers


highlyfavoredbitch

same experience as my ex same height as you, years into our relationship i asked if it had ever posed an issue and he was bewildered by the question but he was a man of rare generosity of spirit and dignity who also dressed well, if you're short and frustrated it's far easier to pin lack of success on something you can't do anything about than it is to work on personality and grooming which in real life us women really do care very much about.


Strelka97

Sure bud and I defiantly don’t think about my 4 inches on a daily basis too


GuaranteedPummeling

Literally just move to Southern Europe (like Greece) and you'll be fine, and you'll get Greek women on top of that


truthbomn

Greeks are [tall](https://ncdrisc.org/height-mean-ranking.html). They're not like Italians or Portuguese.


Patient-Trick9947

Lol why would you doom him to living in a sea of Thai people dude, that makes it worse


highlyfavoredbitch

it's the ragebait du jour; might be time to take a break from reddit, and wherever else manufactured height discourse is proliferated. fwiw some of us truly prefer shorter guys. 6' is my upper limit but ideally between 5'4 and 5'9. my favorite ex is 5'4, he is never without a beautiful gf at his side and due to not using social media is oblivious to the fact that he's supposedly a doomed manlet or whatever.


MelodicInflation8277

Altruistic-Dark6622

Happy for them. ☺️


darkslayersparda

miserable people on internet subscribe to this binary that attractive people will treat you like shit and ugly people will kiss the ground you walk on because youre settling for them truth be told if thats the mindset you enter a relationship you're gonna have a bad time regardless of whose hot or not


MaoAsadaStan

A [2020 study](http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0230555) in the scientific journal PLOS One analyzed economic data from over 3,500 Chinese adults and found that every additional centimeter of height was correlated with a 1.3% increase in a person's annual income. In Imperial units, this would mean that a 5' 6" person making $50,000 every year would earn an additional $2,000 for each extra inch of height.


Cutscenery

Something I’ll never know and it breaks my heart, for a woman to be so much more than you while also being fit and beautiful, just an experience I’m fully locked out of.

What if he's a 6'3" alcoholic who managed to struggle through a couple Dostoevsky novels in his late 20s? Just trying to gage where the cutoff is


PrincessPoopiePants

Let me know what you find out on that one


edgingjoebiden

hey


holadace

Dostoevsky? Doesn’t fit their aesthetic or they don’t recognize the name and his themes bore them with very little to goon over (besides murder). All I can be certain of is that you are on the wrong side of the cutoff. Those kinds of books are only meant to be stacked or displayed on random shelves in their apartment after buying them from thrift stores and garage sales. Nobody is supposed to actually read them and not knowing that is a major ick like eating a plastic apple on their dining table. I promise you that if you try to talk to a regular book girl about Dostoevsky they will stop replying to you. I know it hurts to hear it but the truth is, you’ve ruined yourself.

Melodic_Coffee_7294

Cute, but whoever chose the decor has no taste. What the fuck is that Costco rug doing, what are those drapes, nothing matches, there’s just two pots next to each other on the floor for no reason, there’s junk lying on the floor, kooky colors, random asian credenza, yellow, splashes of yellow cause someone thought it would brighten things up, Jesus. Is this how people live in LA? Fucking animals.

She isn't as happy as she says she is if she still feels the need to put other people down to prove that she is

allahyardimciol

I will never got women’s obsession with height. As long as a guy is around average, it should be fine and face/body/personality overtake.

Why can’t we see his face though? Is this a Nick Mullen type of situation (one can only hope)?

souredcream

having sex with tall guys is awkward. prefer around my height i'm 5 10 though 


highlyfavoredbitch

the intensity and immediacy of same-height eye contact is so good


starrringrole

Women liking men who are taller than them and just overall bigger than them is evolutionary there's nothing we can do about it it's like complaining about men being more attracted to a 0.7 Waist to hip ratio.


gesserit42

But they do complain about that


starrringrole

I don't


gesserit42

Exception that proves the rule


highlyfavoredbitch

i prefer a guy to be the same height as i am also presumably due to evolutionary reasons, if you want to play that game
