[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 6'4 190 and I was making $150k when I turned 25. When I was single friends would also say to me such and such finds you hot and take her on a date.[b] But that nothing to do with my height.[/b] I have a great sense of humor and I am always kind and friendly.

I can go days without seeing a man taller than me. So when women say they want tall men it doesn't end there..they also want men who are kind and have great sense of humor....and they also want these men to have a good career or at least good prospects...So clearly these men are less than 5% of the mens population. Yet it appears that maybe 40% of women want such men. I honestly don't believe they truly desire such men or else.they will give up on love.

I don't want women to chase me. I want to chase them. And being 6'4 I tend to prefer women who are at least 5'6. My wife is 5'8. So while some women may want tall men, tall men don't necessarily look for short women below a certain height..so there is a vacuum where both men and women are wishing for a partner that simply doesn't exist or is super rare [/quote]

Yeah right about the bolded. Lol

All else being equal, in my younger years,  I'd have chosen a 25 year old 6'4 phd making 90k over a 5'6 phd/ software engineer/lawyer making 150k or even 200k.

Most educated women in this area can make 100k-300k and wouldn't mind a man making less if the man is ambitious in a low paying field ( hence i qualified with "all else being equal"). Very very few  men are 6'4. So, in your case, your height is more important than your income.

Now if you were a musician or making millions, then your charm ( [b]musician, and yes even broke musician[/b][b]) or your money can become more important than your height. Or if you were a physician -- physicians are universally highly respected -- your profession could overshadow your height. But a 150k income, even with higher earning potential is not moving the dial much in favor of income for most short men vs. a 6'4 average earning man.

However, there are large enough populations of women, many of whom are very attractive,  who don't care about height. Short men need to do their homework. I have several Jewish, Hispanic and Asian friends who don't even notice height unless a man is below 5'4 or above 6'2.

One percent of men in the United States is 6'4.  Combine that with a salary of >= 150K, you're talking an anomaly, but women can dream, right?

The statement about a broke musician or a physician is so true.  My 5'10 25 year-old DS did an unscientific experiment after he graduated from college, and took a gap year to prepare for the MCAT.  He wore a pre-med t-shirt, strapped his guitar to his back, and hung out in Naples, Boca, and Tampa back in 2022.  He talked to around 200+ random good-looking women on the street asking for directions to coffee shops because he was new to the area, and forgot his phone at the hotel.  According to his unscientific experiment, he was successful in getting their phone number at a rate of 70% of the time (They texted him from their phones).  Women gave him the benefit of the doubt because he wore the pre-med t-shirt and carried a guitar, even though he might not do well on the MCAT and broke af as a musician.

Women have many dating rules.  However, they make the rules for Brad, but break those same rules for Chad.
