I wiish I was 5'7 and bigger though. I am not going to feel you guys my weight lol but I wish I wasn't skinny.

And as a skinny man don"t even get me started. I can start my own thread. And women have been the most hard toward me. They often tell me do you eat, you are so skinny, I can break you (wish they knew about my third leg lol), eat more. Because I am so skinny for them I guess they don't even see my height lol.

Men on the other hand notice my height before noticing my weight. And most men don't even mention my weight but they do notice the height. And this makes me think men are more conscious of height because that's likely something they have been judged on positively or negatively. Women notice my weight first surprise surprise lol

I'm off the market, but tall skinny men have ALWAYS been my jam. Too bad that we get older and fatter. But I love a tall skinny man. Not all women don't like it.

Me too! Back in the olden days when I was dating, the phrase “tall drink of water” was popular.

Oddly, the vast majority of men who play professional sports in the US are over 6 feet. They’re generally pretty nimble. I’d agree that the 7 footers rarely run/ move well, but that’s a big difference and some still manage it - aka the NBA.

Maybe you’re clumsy in bed? Because if your man is too heavy to F you you’re weak or he’s a big fat dolt.

I prefer my men educated, grad degree and higher. These men are usually clumsy. Maybe I'm clumsy, too and thus it's easier for me to f...k men who are between my height 5'8 to 6ft. Also, I don't date fatties my own BMI is 20 so I'm very unforgiving of fat. But height - I don't hear as long as he's at least my height

I mean, tall men are also more financially successful so you can try to highbrow this as a more “educated” choice, that’s fine. I was just referring to the idea that tall men are clumsy in bed. They aren’t when they’re millionaires playing a game for a living, or in the boardroom. I’m sure there’s plenty of cute smart, lesser earning shorties out there

I don’t consider men who are 5’9-6’ “shorties”. Statistically, they are tall and certainly taller than me, which is good enough.
I’ve met plenty of tall over 6’ men who were just terrible jerks, too.

You do realize that $160k difference in earnings over 30 years is a very small amount, right ? Maybe some women don’t want to be with men who are perceived “authoritarian leaders” in the workplace? That’s not a good quality for family life or a long term relationship

With the rise of dating apps and hookup culture young women care mostly about how hot a guy is as opposed to long term partner material, and height is something you can easily filter in one of these apps. I think it’s become harder for short men to compensate with income too because women want the full package. A short guy with a high status career is still undesirable. I’m a 5’5 man and married now but dating was brutal even though I was earning in the top 1-2% and hitting the gym 4-5 days a week. I’ve had better luck with foreign women in general but still plenty of women in other countries who want a tall guy so it’s not a slam dunk. My wife is American.

Dating was brutal because you were looking for a very attractive woman, when your height kicks you out of that status for men.

My family has very tall and very shirt men. None of them struggles to date. I would even argue that some of the shorter men got the best partners. But they had to work harder on their personalities. Same story goes for women. The less attractive you are, the more impressive you have to be. Big deal!

+1 not so attractive women with not so attractive bodies have a hard time dating, too.

I suspect that poster who talked about having a hard time dating isn’t even acknowledging all the women he was overlooking: women who had lots of other wonderful things going on but may not be the prettiest or whatever.

Do you idiots actually believe if you date some six footer he’s going to be more successful than a man under six feet simply by virtue of his height based on some “statistics say” bullshit? No accounting for intelligence, ambition or drive? You date a person, not a statistic.

“Statistics say” lots of things that don’t pan out for individuals because they are statistics. I’ve never heard a dumber reason to want to date someone. It’s no wonder this board is the mess it is. You all are the definition of “broken pickers”.

Women, in general, prefer tall men over short men. There is an actual study on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv5wfypQbL8

Women want a guy that is at least 6 feet tall, 7 inches in the pants, and makes at least six figures. Most women lie because they don't want to be perceived as pretentious. The only exception to this rule is a short man immediately gets attention from women who are either an athlete or a musician.

Being the kind of guy who reads these studies and posts them on DCUM is so very unattractive that I don’t think much else matters.

Instead of obsessing over this, start a fantasy football team, obsess over that, and date the women who find you attractive as you are.

We all know that most women aren’t with these guys, even if they would prefer to be. Is your fear that your wife/girlfriend would actually prefer to be with one of these men even though she has a life/babies/all of her inside jokes with you?

Women tend to like height and men tend to like facial beauty and other attributes such as a thin waist, big boobs, or round butt.

+1 why is op making this so complicated. Men have ideals, too.

You can control fatness, you can’t control height. Heightism is real and accepted discrimination.

Go lookup the heights of nearly every single CEO and politician, hardly any are below 5’7”-5’8”. Numerous studies have shown that height significantly impacts your lifetime earnings and promotions, even after adjusting for education and experience. It’s basically discrimination against men for a genetic trait. Literally it is no different than discrimination against a person because of their race.


It impacts men far more than women. Height isn’t anywhere near as import for women as it is for men.

Ok you cannot control how pretty you are, or how big your boobs are.

No one likes a whiny person. You can control that.

Being whiny and insecure is even less attractive e than being short.

By your standard I am probably not educated enough even though I have a bachelor's degree in Engineering physics with a 4.0 GPA. Damn it I would have gone for that PhD
