General chit chat and shit talk.

Just for sheer volume there has to be more 5 foot 7 men than there are 6 foot tall females but I don't know that for a fact.
True but I think there are still a lot more women who are 5’4” and below than men who are 6’3” and above.

How many men that you know actually give a fuck about the height, though, unless we're looking at the true extremes? The next friend in my life that would have problems with women between, say, 5'0" and 6'2", will be the first.
 
I don't see why a 6 foot woman would have trouble getting laid. Is it really a stigma for a guy to be slightly shorter than his girlfriend? I am 6 foot even, but I'd have no problem with a girl who was 6-2.

And do 5-7 guys really have trouble?

I ask this as a fully grown man, not a midget, half-man, pathetic shorty.

From the initial question post:

So this question is more about finding a long term mate rather than just the initial dating stages.
 
From the initial question post:
Ok. I'd marry a 6-2 girl. My kids would be prime master race material. Are guys really that insecure about not being taller? Seems kind of weak

I honestly didn't realize 5-7 type guys had a tough time either. With most girls being 5-5 or less, I'd think they'd be ok.
 
Good points…I’ll respond later.

"Dude, how can you date a woman taller than you?"

"My friend, the climb is more than worth it!"

It’s not as big a problem for men. The first issue is that many women really do want a man who is at least a little taller than her, so a lot of men are eliminated when she’s 6’0”. That is kind of “her own problem” of course when it comes to the original question.

But I think the real issue is that men generally do find smaller women more attractive. Women can date extremely well and get a lot interest, even have an easier time getting engaged and married, because most men are more desperate and have fewer options. They go with the woman who will sleep with them and commit. Down the road, the man may become less interested in her sexually when he has other options.

They do particularly on dating apps and social media. Often women use filters about 67-80% of sub 6’0” men are filtered out due to height.

In the real world, height matters less, although if you go to a club or bar then being shorter is a little disadvantage, just not as much.

The thing is most people use dating apps / social media to meet their mate, so it isn’t like some niche market problem.

And those are the same ones who bitch if we won't go out with them if they're fat slobs. We're sexist for wanting a medium build attractive woman.
 
i much prefer a guy who is a little thick vs. too skinny. I had a friend a long time ago who loved those skinny little wraith like poetic types and I just remember being like seriously?
 
I was just at Planet Fitness and this smoke show was working out on the Smith machine next to me. I rarely talk to women at the gym, but I noticed she was doing squats in a really unconventionally way (no hands) so I went to up to her to ask her about it. Tbh my first motivation was just curiosity because I’m really interested in unconventional exercises.

She was nice, great smile, just moved here from Vegas. I never ask for a girl’s number if she doesn’t give me some initial signal like eye contact or a smile (I figure if she likes me, she will do something next time to signal she wants me to talk to her again.) Anyway, she’s about my height, in fact she told me she does squats that way because she has long legs.

We had a nice chat about fitness, etc, but circling back to the topic, I find that unless you have really strong personality chemistry, it’s difficult to get masculine-feminine contrast energy when the man isn’t at least a few inches taller than the woman. So, I kind of do understand where women are coming from when it comes to immediate spark and attraction.

I don’t think the height is necessary, and there can still be attraction, but it may take longer to develop it, so if were just filtering out matches like women do (since they have so many options and a numbers advantage), I’d probably just filter out taller girls to narrow it down. Still open minded but being targeted. Gotta understand women on dating apps have so many matches and eager men.

Now I'm curious what does that mean doing squats with no hands? Obviously I don't have any experience with Smith machines😄.
As much as some women and probably fewer men would like to admit it, good old-fashioned biology likely rules a lot of those "attraction" things. it's probably not even a conscious thing when you meet somebody as far as their height etc. it's just a physical reaction based on biology. men want women of a certain physical stature because of good breeding possibilities.women want men of a certain physical stature because they want to feel protected and taken care of.

Let the record show she prefers girth to length.

A smith machine is a barbell fixed on a vertical path. So it goes up and down but stays in place horizontally. She was resting the bar on her upper traps, which is normal, but she wasn’t holding on to the bar with her hands, which is really abnormal for back squats. It allowed her to get really low on the squat though because in order to balance the bar without her hands, she had to create a huge angle.

Yes, I agree it usually isn’t conscious. I never really thought about height comparisons until I started seeing comments about it in Reddit. But then I did realize that, unconsciously, it often is a factor when I’m interacting with a woman. I wouldn’t say that having no height advantage always kills the chemistry, but whenever there is that ideal difference, and I’m comfortably taller than her, it’s like the “groove” is there and the compatibility is more palpable.
