Hey guys,

I'm been doing some research recently and I found a couple of interesting studies for you to look at. Let me know what you think.

71% of women say that "men wouldn't stand a chance" if they were under 6ft

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2344762/Women-short-shrift-chap-6ft-Two-thirds-women-consider-taller-men-sexier-smaller-rivals.html

Study shows that men 5'9 or shorter only get contacted 1% of the time in NYC

http://www.complex.com/city-guide/2013/12/study-claims-nyc-women-dont-like-short-men

The average CEO is 6ft tall, 2.5 inches taller then the average man (30% are above 6'2)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height_discrimination

What do you guys things of this. It's pretty fascinating. And it's also bull#### too.

That percentage is BS. 14% of men are over 6'

If it were literally true that men under 6ft had no chance, then something like 60% of women would never have a male partner in their entire life.

True, they are the height of mediocrity.

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Poor Eminence.

None of this strikes me as particularly new. In my experience taller guys make excellent trial counsel. As do attractive guys (but not pretty boys). I'm sure it's true in other fields as well. We're hard wired to appreciate certain traits because they are proxies for evolutionary fitness.

 

[McGarnicle]

I'm 6'2" and blond and always have gotten tons of snatch.

 

[[icon]]

Could have something to do with most guys 5'9" and under having a pretty bad case of napoleon complex and trying way too hard.... thereby self-sabotaging.

A lot of my buddies are really tall. I'm 6' and feel short among most of them. Our softball team has 6'7", 6'5", 6'4", and 6'3" guys. I'm the second shortest at 6'. We have one 5'8" guy.

We used to joke about the 6'7" guy getting so much ### at the bars. The running joke was we'd send him into the room with a "Go, be tall, Mick!". He'd go stand against a wall somewhere and girls would just come up to him. Not exactly the most attractive guy (midly cleft lip) and not the sharpest dresser (would often just wear a solid no name hoodie and/or plain white T shirt with jeans or track pants and old sneakers)... but boy they flocked to him.

 

[Dentist]

taller more attractive people just rule the world in general.

just the facts.

I'm not tall, but fortunately I'm not in the power business world...

no one gives a crap how tall their dentist is

True, you guys do own adjustable chairs.

 

[Ilov80s]

Only 5-10, but have never had issue getting women that were average height or less. Women on the taller side, not as much. However, I naturally just am not as attracted to taller women.

 

[[icon]]

Gotta also factor in the heels. Most women will simply not date a guy unless he's at least 2-3 inches taller than them.

They just don't measure up.

 

[Ilov80s]

I remember reading in a book that women in dating services will list the qualities that are most important to them but when compared the men they choose, it does not actually match up to their desired qualities. Basically, people think they know what they want, but that's not always actually what they are attracted to. People don't know what they want.

All women want a thick, meaty penis. If they say they don't, they're lying. They want a big throbbing slab of trouser steak, the bigger and thicker the better. Especially if it's black. These broads today, sure, some of them will say they're not into the mandingo action, but I guarantee you, once they lock eyes on a 10-inch shaft of thick chocolate wang, the panties drop every time.

I think people know what they want, but often times they just can't verbalize it or put it on paper or possibly might be embarrassed about it.

Dudes are the same way really... maybe at the end of the day you're just REALLY into huge breasts and even though you can't tell your mom that or your sister and you can't write it down in your match.com profile because you're not supposed to be mainly into huge breasts... but you're on match and you see those huge breasts and somehow ignore that other than those breasts they don't meet any of your stated needs... because in reality you just want a chick with monster breasts.

The problem is that society doesn't allow people to be real... chicks are supposed to say they want a guy who's sensitive and caring and all that.... but they really just want a tall guy with a huge paycheck and a Beemer and a monster dong.... but they can't write that.

Fixed the findings

 

[Koya]

5'6" here .... What used to be a self imposed burden (as noted, lack of confidence with women etc) has matured into a reality that I don't need 100% of women. When I was looking to score than I needed one that night. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And while my height might eliminate some chicks, I learned that what I did being to the table could just as well attract some.

As far as marriage etc, you need one. And it's definitely possible to outkick your coverage. Luckily I found a hottie with an apparent Jew fetish (she didn't realize but I recognized it after her love affair with Adam Sandler in 8 something nights or whatever that movie was).

Now, his other potential issues aside, if Woody Allen can pull top notch chicks (with many more somehow turned on by him) then this balding Jew can. I don't have his talent but I'm also Adonis in comparison.

Btw, with responses and all it's an interesting twist. I wouldn't respond to most chicks who were over say 130 lbs. fair? Whatever. But if I met a chick that was say a proportional 140 and found her attractive and really hit it off, I wouldn't push her away either. So we want to be overly selective with qualities that are not in context but some "deal killers" aren't deal killer when the full pictures / experience of being together comes to be.

Great stuff. I do think Jews have become the outliers in the height thing though, as height becomes less of a hammer against them then regular people. Think David and Goliath stuff that Malcolm Gladwell talked about. While most people would be psychologically crushed, Jews are already aware of their neurotic nature and dealing negative cultural elements and are aware of the sexual importance of wealth and power. So instead of playing the short game, they play the long game.

Which would mean the average height of a non Jewish CEO must be 6'3

But ya, I think wealth is a major equalizer, as is social status and power status. Also people don't really now what they want either. So I get that side of the argument.

But still, it's a pretty huge double standard that women hold men to. Men can't be open about their dislike for fat chicks but women can be very open with weeding out short men? At least fat chicks can lose weight, short guys on the other hand are ####ed. Even normal guys too.

Also I'm aware bringing me up makes it seem like I must be a 5'5 guy. I'm actually 6'6 and I just want to make you all insecure.

It's not BS. It's just further proof that women are bad at math.

Plus, about 50% of them would probably guess correctly when asked if the random guy they just met was 5'11" or 6'.

Guys lie about their height like women lie about their age. So women don't really gauge it right. I'm 6' 1" (no lie) but I have had lots of women say they think I'm around 6' 4". I have no doubt it's because lots of guys in the 5' 9" - 5' 11" range have told them they're 6'.

We all have versions of this, and it's a combination of our unconscious selves at work combined with cognitive dissonance.

 

[xulf]

I'm 6'3. At most would want to max at 6'5. I definitely feel blessed to be this tall. Sucked playing the 4/5 in hs basketball against dudes way taller. I stopped growing in 9th grade which was both good and bad. Never dated anyone below 5'7 (married to 5'9). A 5' would have been fun...

True, what they are saying really is they want a guy that is noticeably taller than they are. Kind of like a guy might say they want D cup boobs, but would they really know the difference between 36c and 34D? Prolly not, they just want a large handful of #######.

I'm not even sure it's that complicated. Women say they want someone funny and nice and who listens, they really want what everyone wants, some that is attractive and has a nice body. When presented with an overweight average joe with a funny, sensitive personality and a shallow ####### with a six pack and movie star good looks, they go for the latter.

Then again, when they spend time with someone that makes them laugh, smile and happy that can compensate for a lot in the looks department. Obviously it's different for every woman, but what we "want" and what makes us "happy" are not always the same.

5-9 isn't short for a guy, after all the average women is 5-4. I've noticed that women say they want a tall guy, but in reality all they want is someone taller than them who is good looking and/or rich.

While it was a plus, being 6-4 didn't help me out that much.
