I think your mean "calves."

What are you on about? Tall men are attractive in all ethnicities. Slim to athletic tall men

Yep. I'm 6'5", 210, and I'm treated like a god in Japan and India.

Tall men are “tall” because the majority of men are shorter than they are. Women make up slightly more than 50% of the population. Though it doesn’t seem to be the case reading DCUM, most women will have to compromise and settle for a shorter man.

You’re deathly underweight for your height and your wife is morbidly obese. Is this a joke?

His wife is definitely obese but he is that much underweight though. In some countries that height/weight combo is not insulated at all. As Americans I must say we have a unique view of normal body weight to be honest.

A long sentence to say Americans are fat.

6'0" 140 lbs is a BMI of 19, WHICH IS A NORMAL BMI. That poster is NORMAL. He thinks he's thin because other people (his wife, for example) are fat.

Dear Lord.

140# is really really skeletal for a 6’ tall male.
His doctor likely has a Dx for why. It’s not normal and hard in the organs in different ways than obesity is.
I assume he takes protein shakes or has a metabolism Rx

I don’t think its unhealthy. I graduated college at 6’1”/135. Yep, I was scrawny and completey invisible to women. Its not attractibe but I don’t think its unhealthy.

Not judging by the answers here.

Yes

No. I am only 5'3". My husband is 5'7". I have dated some taller guys prior to him, but attraction was just dependent on the particular person vs. height.

Same, right down to the stats you quote! But my one other major ex was short. I really don’t care about height and I know plenty of women who feel the same way. I also know a lot of very successful short guys. I’ve always thought it is weird when women demand a guy be over 6 feet, unless she herself is very tall. I truly don’t get it.

I actually find very tall men UNattractive. If they're skinny, they look gangly, all arms and legs. If they're even a bit overweight, they're just massive people.

My sweet spot is like 5'6" to 5'8". I'm okay down to 5'3" and up to 5'10".

I dated men shorter, same height, taller, much taller. I came to prefer someone at least three inches taller. I am 5'6". My husband is 5'10", not super tall, but tall enough that I can wear any heel height. For me it was always more about their overall build, ie, mesomorphic. I had two good friends, sisters, who were 5 feet tall and wanted a shorter mate and they married shorter, great looking guys. There's a lid for every pot.

Because typically thinner women are healthier.

Short men are not typically less healthy compared to tall men though.
In fact I believe shorter people tend to live longer (too lazy to find the source but it's out there).
