I have never seen a legit source for the 6-6-6 rule that you all claim is true. It clearly is not given the demographics and statistical makeup of this country. Only 17% of men in America are making over $100K and yet, 49% of American men are married. So, no, that's just not true that only men making over six figures are married. And go to any grocery store or shopping mall on a Saturday and you will see plenty of couples where the husband is not 6'. |
No statistics are real. Your statistics are made up. The real stats do not support what you’re asserting. So yeah, you’re wrong and you’re a liar. |
And yet you can’t actually lock down a woman. Hmm. |
They are mad that successful women who are educated and make six figures want a successful man who makes six figures, regardless of height. If it's about height they can whine and moan about how marriage is unattainable for any man under 6', when in reality plenty of 5'5"-5'11" men are getting married, it's just that they went to college and have good jobs and would be good fathers. As opposed to these guys who dropped out of DeVry university to complain about women online every day. They claim there are morbidly obese women with bad jobs who feel entitled to 6'2", 180 pound investment bankers and yet that's exactly what they are. They are losers who feel entitled to successful women and choose to blame it on height. |
When I was on the apps, it was less than one in twenty for me. I probably swiped right on one in fifty. I'm a divorced man in his 50s. I tend to swipe right on attractive and interesting women in their 40s and early 50s, mostly professionals or people with interesting hobbies or experiences. I'll also go for women in their 30s if they seem interesting and not focused on settling down and having kids. I went on some dates with women in their 60s too, but I'm not attracted very many of them. I had a couple of dates with women in their 20s, but they didn't amount to much. Photos are important to me. I almost never find myself attracted to women with so-so photos after meeting them in real life. Sometimes I meet a woman with good photos and become very attracted after meeting in person, but usually the in-person meeting makes me less attracted to the person, since physical appearance is just the start. I don't end up in short term or long term relationships with women unless we are compatible in other ways. If the 80/20 rule is real, I'm probably in the 20, but I doubt the rule is real. If the rule is real, then the 20 must include a wide variety of men. My experience tells me that lot's of women are looking for guys who are very different from me. |
Do you not see you’re burning yourself? A woman would rather live with an animal who shits in a box than deal with you. And you’re making fun of her?! L-O-f***ing-L |
Exactly. Btw, my 5'4" bf was an Ivy League educated big law attorney in his 30s and had no shortage of dates before me. These men literally can't handle that women just want someone with a good personality and not a victim complex. |
I'm not the Division I athlete. I'm guessing he spent most of his adult life not wanting to lock down anyone or be locked down by anyone. That's OK. |
Fwiw I am a woman who owns a cat AND I have a bf who is under 6'! He is 5'10". Quelle horreur! Another under 6' man coupled off. But yeah, OP, the problem is definitely that you aren't 6'1". L-o-effing-l indeed. |
5’8 woman here . My best relationship post divorce was with an Asian man who was 5’7. It’s unbelievable how my dates react when I tell them. Jokes ranging from outright racist to small d..k. All men talked then him but none of them were even close to him by sharpness, professional achievements. emotional intelligence, worldly cultural and travel experience.

What is it with men shitting on shorter exes? I dated a guy who found out the guy I dated before him was 5'6" (he was 5'11") and would be like, omg that's dysgenic, you're pretty, you don't have to date short men. I was like, uh....maybe he had a good personality and was confident in himself regardless of height? Like, if height is so important...you're taller. You already won, by your own stupid made-up metric. |
Relatively wealthy men who can behave normally will never be in short supply of dates, unless they are hideous. So that doesn't surprise me. |
What age are these people? I cared more about height when I was younger. That still would not have prevented me from dating a 5'7" guy, as I am only 5'4". I probably would not have considered a guy my own height or shorter when I was in my 30s, now that I am in my late 40s, it is not preferred but would not rule a guy out, standing alone. |
I think not wanting a shorter man is totally fair. Most men would not want to date a woman who weighed more than him, which I also think is fair. |
What you guys don't understand is that women don't NEED men anymore. They may want them but they don't want all the stuff our mothers put up with from their DHs. So they are more fulfilled by their cats than a manchild. And you posting this confirms why that is. Once you recognize that, and adjust, you'll do just fine on the dating market. |
