that was clickbait its real but def not to the extent people think it is

this whole 6'0+ shit is just a pysop and females really only like the "idea" of being with a tall man, when in reality they probably cant tell the difference if he was like 5'9 or so.

I think a good rule of thumb for women is a few inches taller at most, you shouldnt be 5'1 wanting a 6'5 man thats unrealistic and selfishly ruining his genetics. Tall men are also succumbing to these standards by being with a female thats drastically shorter. people can have their own standards this is just my personal opinion

under normal circumstances 5'9 isnt even short its an average height but for some reason you keep acting like its short

Height stuff only egregiously plays into it when you are considered also egregiously small.

I feel really bad for short guys because you essentially just get laughed at and not taken seriously by the majority of people, I remember seeing a short dude walking around my town and you can just tell it got to him.

Humanity is really cruel and unjust if I’m honest, I understand why humans are wired to appreciate healthy genetics of course but it is cruel.

IRL women are dating men few inches above them and are just fantasizing to major height differences, but these men are rare and they most likely not gonna date their asses.

Also normalize the fact that women who want 6'6 men as short women are genuine retards and should stay single for the sake of everybody
 
I am a tall woman and i don't have crazy standards tbh. i just want a guy who's taller than me. that's it. what annoys me is seeing 4'11 girls saying they won't date anyone under 6'3, and then they do end up with guys that tall. meanwhile tall women get overlooked. not sure if men just aren't into tall women but it's frustrating to see

thats very realistic id say the same as someone whos pretty average height
tall women are beautiful btw dont let anyone tell you otherwise
 
For a man 5’7 and below is brutal
Until about a couple months ago I was 5’6 (I am currently 5’8) being 5’7 and under is hell. Especially in Europe it is freakishly bad I couldn’t go a day without being picked on for my height whenever I see someone say heightism doesn’t exist or downplay its existence it’s like saying racism doesn’t exist because you are white

Short people get treated subconsciously inferior and are seen as less important. Less imposing. Less socially dominant solely because of genetics

The fact that in this thread someone called the global average “borderline concerning” highlights the normalisation brutally
 
5 foot 9 is avrage in USA tough
The thing is though I’m not entirely sure if that actually reflects reality for those of our generation though.

I’m measured now at 6ft bang on the dot and 6’1 with shoes on yet I do still get towered over by people quite a bit.

I just feel, well, average a lot more than not, so I wonder truly what the average height is for those who are younger.

In fairness though I probably just don’t notice the people I’m taller than because I’m used to just being taller, so I don’t know.

yeah i think its really again just the idea of having a really tall man on paper, when i doubt they can tell the difference
the tall men that succumb to these standards are to blame also for normalizing it, youd be surprised how many 6'0+ are with someone thats like 5'2
 
I

U get us manlets bhaiii :sadge:
 
The difference in height head to head comparison to someone that is 6’ isn’t dangerously bad but there are many that are 6’2-6’3 so I do start feeling small

its weird everyone seems “tall” now idk if everyone started height boosting or if height is really rapidly increasing over the years meaning taller and taller (well obviously it is) but everyone seems near 6ft now

i dont think you should let societial standards dictate your worth at all

I relate in the sense of because I actually got fed up of my eyebrows being as thick as they were and trying to maintain them so I cut them down considerably to let them grow and reshape later.

Immediately people got horrified because goodness forbid I decided to not care about my appearance and felt like at this point I’m a subject of ridicule because I just wanted to change my eyebrow shape.

I don’t care about my looks but others do and they let you know, I can at least grow my eyebrows back out but you can’t get out of that ridicule if you’re short.

Humanity really is rotten and don't understand the injustice of it.
 
i dont think you should let societial standards dictate your worth at all
yeah exactly i’ve seen many shorter men happy with their significant other. I think what makes short men unattractive is that they bring it up somehow most times when i see a short man and a tall man meet the short guys always like damn your tall as fuck (saying this near a woman just makes you look like a cuck tbh)
 
i dont think you should let societial standards dictate your worth at all
It’s not letting them get to me it’s how people are treated as a fact.

I can’t just cope with the fact I’m treated less equal than others due to something out of my control
