Minimum height for men

[warrior1]

Height has never bothered me much but now I am getting mad right now. I always told people I am 5'9 because i believed i am 5'9. I also have this hair that looks like an afro-spikey hair so it makes me look a bit taller. However, when i checked my height at the doctor without shoes, I am 5'8. I'm also 21 years old so I am not going to grow any taller.

I know most woman want their men tall. I like woman who are under 5'4 because any taller would make me feel shorter. Also when i tell ppl i am 5'8 they don't believe me because i do look taller than that probably around 5'9 or so. Of course when i wear shoes, I am 5'9.

So my question is a lot of woman like to say I like my man to be at least 5'10 , 6'0, as long as he's taller than me... or it doesn't matter. Well, what is really the minimum height for woman that they don't see as short. I read in this forum in another height thread a while ago that said 5'8 is the minimum height to not be called short.

1. Is that above statement true?

Today i saw a real hot babe but she was probably 5'6 minimum and of course I don't have confidence anymore to do anything because of the height. I use to like my woman to be 5'6 but when i found out i was 5'8 and not 5'9, I now prefer woman anywhere from 5'1-5'5.

2. what would be the best exact height for a guy who's 5'8 without shoes and 5'9 with shoes. I heard it's best for the woman to be 3-6 inches shorter than the guy.


Yes, i know i am making a big deal of this. It's just botheres me now.

wow, im 5'9" and Ill do whatever the **** I want,

Looks don't matter. One of my professors this past year was tiny (probably about 5'3" or so), and he has an HB wife who's about 14 years younger than him.

I'm 5'8

On being short.

Its something you are never going to change. Its not like being fat, or having no cash, or being uncool, or even having no personality; all those things can be worked on. But you'll always be short.

So you gotta deal with it.

There is no escaping the fact:

BEING SHORT IS A HUGE DISADVANTAGE.

Not only do chicks find taller guys more physically attractive but people in general will try to **** with you.

Deal with it.

What you gotta do.

Go to the gym. There is non excuse for being short and fat/weedy. A short guy MUST have a good body or he will seem physically inferior. Thats harsh but true.

Work on you body language. Learn to walk and move like you are the most powerful man in the room.

Have inner strength. You can still have a BIG personality.

Do this and your shortness won't matter.

5'8" aint bad, but it's mainly about confidence.

I know 5'5" players because attraction has too many factors.

Yea i know what you mean. I see some guys that are around 5'5 and they definitely can do it. The poster b4 u said 5'8 is short. Do most women consider 5'8 short then?

Mate thats such a crappy thing to do. Did it make you feel better?

Plus its over-exaggerating. As long as you're taller than her it actually doesn't matter that much. Its one of those things that women say, but when it comes to meeting you, in the flesh, she won't turn you down cos of your height...I know this because I am a uni student and am around all sorts of guys all the time, and there's not really any correlation between height and the hotness/number of girls they pull.

True, if we're talking 5'3 and shorter, thats a big disadvantage, but 5'8.....seriously man, you're fine....some smaller girls even prefer it.

I'd say this much, spike your hair, wear heels, get a nice shape and you're set.

The REAL problem is the mindset of shorter guys. They often think they're not attractive, which leads to less success with women.

I'd like to clarify that I am 6'2 and so am not just making this post to make myself feel better. Its based on genuine observations. Btw, 5'9 is average height in the UK, I imagine USA is similar.

I personally don't think it matters how tall you are to most women.

Sure women say they want a man that's tall and all that, but you know there's a huge difference between what a woman says they want and what they really want. Sure, some women are superficial and won't date a guy under 6', but whatever, it's her loss. Your height is only a problem if you make it one in your own head and lose confidence.

Keep it in your mind that the three best players I know, dudes that have different women every week, are 5'7", 5'8", and 5'8". They just seem to make women feel super-comfortable with them.

I'm 5'9" and I don't have any problem with getting chicks. Shorter than me, taller than me, whatever. In fact, I have a thing for taller chicks. They just seem hotter. The last girl I dated was 5'11", and she didn't have a problem with it. I can't even take a girl under 5'3" seriously, they remind me of children.

Dude, I wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. I was just saying straight up the truth.

Maybe Aussies are taller than Brits or Yankees (I've never been to either country but the countries I have been to I have noticed that people were shorter than what I am used to) so maybe 5'8 isn't that short elsewhere.

But I was the shortest guy in class all the way through school, shortest guy at work, shortest dude in my circle of friends...

Now at 6'2 sorry L777, but you don't know what you are talking about. Girls say straight out they like tall guys and dudes DO try to **** with you. Thats fact.

Its funny actually that you say what I said was crappy and then you say "I'm 6'2 so I'm not trying to make myself feel better." WTF??

Tall dudes saying to short guys "it doesn't matter," is just like chicks saying "just be yourself." Its a nice thing to say but it aint true! In both situations there is an element of truth but it is conditional on making the best out of yourself.

I never said it is not a disadvantage you CANT overcome. I said it must be overcome.

But L777, besides that I think you are spot on in what you wrote.

5'8 is not short really just average. Of course taller guys get more girls no doubt but I've seen some short guys get some extremely hot girls so it can be done.

How don't I know what I'm talking about....just because I'm not short doesn't mean I don't know anything about it. Like I said, I have a lot of friends who are less than 5'8 and the majority have girlfriends and don't get f.ucked with or anything like that. Maybe its the middle class environment I'm in...less dog eat dog kinda thing, I don't know. But girls really don't make a big deal about stuff like that here, intelligent, classy girls that is. Maybe its different for shallow, working class or ghetto types, IDK. But in MY personal experience from my life, height is really not a big factor...I have often been outgamed by shorter guys in the past. (Not now though...PU rules!! )

I mean yea, if you put 2 guys identical in every way including game/personality and one is 4 inches taller, sure, better chance....but its not like that is it?

About saying I'm not making the post to feel better, I meant I'm not some short/average guy trying to convince himself of what I typed. I'm just trying to provide words to help guys overcome insecurity...something that I have done a lot of over the past couple of years.

Look at Steve Nash, people push him around in the courts all the time because he's short(er). That doesn't stop him from being an awsome player.

 

[Adakkon]

I don't see height as that much of an issue when attracting women.

One of my fraternity brothers is a bit under 5 feet tall. Almost legally a midget but not quite.

Well, I've seen him walk into his room with a hot girl at night and have his way with more attractive women then almost anyone else in our entire house.

My roomate is like 6'5 or something, he is also a major pimp in the way he acts. He has 6 girls right now he refers to as "staples" that he can call up and go out and have a "good time" with. He is constantly getting new chicks.

This guy lost the most attractive girl he went after all year, and one he put all his effort into, to the other one, who was almost 2 feet shorter then him. And he wasn't a chump either, this is a guy who was good with women.

 

[mintxx]

Height is an advantage because primitive female mind will associate this with power, protection and superiority. All three of these can be projected by other means, and in doing so will become more genuine. I'm 6 foot 4 and my 5 foot 8 buddy looks bigger than me, puts mass on quicker at the barbell, lower centre of gravity so he can outwrestle me, won't get back problems, won't hit his head on things etc. You're still taller than most women anyway. Relax!

 

[2Cool]

Why worry about this? There is nothing you can do. So, be confident in yourself and this will be projected in everything you do. Women will detect this and you will be fine.

 

[insidious]

warrior1, I am a short phuck!
I'm all of 5'5". I'm a decent-looking guy but at my height, you better have something distinctive cause your stature sure ain't gonna do it. It's funny, in some ways being 5'5" is more eye catching than being 5'8" lol. 5'8" is just SO average, talk about blending in! Kidding dude, I hope you get what I'm saying.

Thing is, I have never really been at a want for pu$$y for an extended period of time. In other words, I get a steady stream of it. Women are wonderful reciters of their lists of "must-haves", but when it comes down to it, most women are unprincipled and inadvertantly flexible when it comes to the world of romantic and sexual emotions. Yeah, women will tell you they will only date tall guys...but close your eyes, and some shrimp like me has talked his way into her pants. If you're faint of heart, do NOT read personal ads, that's where you'll see what women want and get in the world where they actually stick to their guns. Thing is, they don't, for the most part.

A few years ago I chummed it up with this chick who constantly made it clear she liked tall guys...guess where I ended up, after some time and hard work

Now I'm not gonna sit here and try to feed you bs about how height doesn't matter, blahblahblah...it does. It certainly matters in the crowd situation where you are trying to stand out. It certainly is a handicap when introducing yourself. And you know why that is? It's a vicious circle. Most women, and men, will expect a short man to naturally possess the dreaded "Napolean complex" and even if you don't, they will somehow dissect your actions, mannerisms, and somehow fill in that image until you fulfill their Napolean expectations.

Dude, all you can do is accept that you are NOT a tall man, maybe you are average, and depending on the crowd or environment, you might be pretty short. There are places I do not feel short at all...and others where I feel like I'm eye-level with everyone's knees!

Work on making yourself an oustanding physical specimen independent of your vertical inch count. Stand out. I lift weights, I groom myself, I try to portray an image that is a little unique without being outlandish, cause at our height, it's easy to look outlandish if you aren't congruent.

Work on growing inside that damn head of yours. Once you rise above yourself, you will rise above the world as well. I know short guys who have a presence and dignity and "alphaness" you would never expect. Conversely, I have met tall guys who are complete and utter dorks.

Once your spine has stopped growing, you gotta work on that cerebrum!

I'm about 5'8" and any time I have had a convo with a girlfriend about what she physically desires in a man, TALL is one of the criteria she lists.

I'm average. Not tall. Yet these women who claim to want a TALL man are with ME.

Don't worry about the height issue. It's more about how YOU perceive yourself and how you carry yourself than your actual physical height.

 

[Randallpink83]

dudes... im 6'5 and I have to break it to you all... I actually find it more difficult to connect with the girls then the rest of my averaged height friends. Think about it, i'm no where near their level. I'm usually ALWAYS the tallest guy in any bar, club whatever.. Girls feel like they are talking more to my **** then to me. however on the flipside I do get more chances with the taller hot chicks, but they are more rare anyhow.
The main thing is, everyone has their place.. There is neither too tall or too short, there is simply a positive or negative attitude.

Indeed they are. I stand at about 6 ft exactly am only just 18 and am considered short. Girl I'm after at the moment is concerned with height (not for me but with guys she considers in general).

 

[fbplayer06]

Have inner strength. You can still have a BIG personality.JJ

Yes, but don't develop a stubborn, defensive attitude to compensate for your lack of height. (I know someone who is like this and his personality is like sandpaper on my brain sometimes...)
