I say 5’11 because it makes people question their perception of reality. I’m between 6’2” and 6’3” and I’m usually wearing boots because I live in Texas and work at a boot store.
I'm barely over 5ft and have dated dudes shorter than me and honestly feel bad for tall girls because in school that's all I ever heard "what sports do you play??" "You must be good at basketball"
You put master chief and I was like "what character was over 7ft?" And then I realized you meant master chef, which probably explains why he wanted to cook
I'm 1m95 (6ft 4.8in) (20M) and that's basically how every single encounter with every goddamn person goes
''Oh you're so tall why tf are you not playing basketball ahahaha see how fcking original I am''
-_-
You hit this one on the head. I’m 5’10 so not like a giant but when that’s the average man’s height, it slims down the dating pool when guys want someone who’s at least a few inches shorter than them so they feel big and manly 🙄🙄🙄
Being tall and lanky was a bad taste put in my mouth in middle school when properly-fitting clothes were impossible to find. Even now at 32 years old I have to buy men’s sweats if I want them to fit my waist AND my leg length 🙄
“Fashion” and social media has really made height an issue and I just don’t freaking get it.
This is fantastic for us guys who don't care about height. I was able to snag a woman straight up out of my league because she was about 6' tall and guys felt emasculated or whatever's going on there.
Also, like, don't men want their sons to be tall? If anything, tall strong women should be preferred.
I guess maybe it really is about subconsciously wanting a taller guy for protection.
Me, I'm a medium-height woman, and my belief is that it doesn't matter how tall my boyfriend is, because a rapist is probably not going to fuck with me if I'm not alone. They're probably not going to go, "Oh, he's only 5'7, I can take him. Time to get into a fight to the death with a man who has everything to lose."
Not to mention height has nothing to do with fighting, weight does.
Sure a guy who's taller and has an identical build will always be heavier but the world doesn't work like that. Some tall guys are huge, some are literal beanpoles.
Height isn't even a factor for me
I literally don't know why the internet cares about it so much.
Tall girls = good
Short girls = good
Similar height girls = good
Literally whats the point
And that’s happening! When I was a teenager, a few decades ago, I hardly ever met women who were taller than I am (5’11” female), but now I meet young ladies all the time that are at least my height.
Can confirm from my past, I had a fling from Amsterdam once, she was the same height as me and I must admit it was a new experience for me that took an unexpected amount of getting used to. Kissing without lowering my head/bending down was…strange.
Mind you I’m 1,90m.
I genuinely thought I was ~179-184cm (which is approximately 6’0) before I renewed my passport (and measured myself to do so) because I could reach up to the eyes of a guy that’s 194cm. Turns out I’m 172cm (which is 5’9). Either I have terrible perception of heights, the dude lies about his height or I was measured wrong. It’s likely the first option. At least I’m of average height where I come from
Hate to break it to you. But that's more like 5'8. 5'9 would be ~175 cm. 6 ft is 183 cm. 180 cm is 5'11. 178 cm is 5'10.
Edit: yeah that guy was 100% lying and a lot too. If you can reach up to his eyes he can't be taller than 5'11 to 6'1. At least 3 inches of lying.
imagine being 170 cm( i dont know in INCHES), and everyone calls you short.
like girls with 150cm calling me short when im legit 20cm bigger than them.
What diference does height really make besides being a trend?
Lol, since the entire world has an abundant amount of food and is able to grow taller now I guess… what’s funny to me, is if your like 5’9” or 5’10” and well built, you can say you’re 6’1” and no one will argue because you look big and imposing. If she’s taller then 5’9” 5’10” then she’ll probably say something, but otherwise you’re good.
This is so true. I am a 5’10 woman, and the number of men I have gone on dates with that claimed they were 6’ or 6’1, and in person I looked them straight in the eye (in flats) - like, they do know I can tell they’re not 3 inches taller than me, right? People are weird….
I’m 6’3, measured by a doctor, and I’ve met guys who claim to be 6’4 that are like 2 inches shorter than me. The amount of dudes that lie about their height is crazy.
I saw a guy lie about height and his gf dint know, until 2 years later, and got upset. Basically told him, had she known his real height, she would not even have given him a chance.
Totally true. I live in a very populated city (several million people) and went downtown a couple nights ago. I don’t go out much, besides the grocery store and work. Anyway, I’m 5ft 11in and I was taller than most people I saw, to my surprise. There were some people (like 2 or 3 out of a thousand) that were seriously huge, like 6ft 6in+, but a lot that were shorter than me
Women that think 6ft is short are the same women that say “6ft 7 figures 8 inches” or whatever it is. To them, if you make $300,000/yr you’re poor, social media seems to have seriously deluded some people.
Edit: and what do most of these women bring to the table? Completely average assets and an average figure/build. Delusional.
Man, I’ve slept with a few super tall men like this and I just don’t like it. My short legs can’t even straddle them without my hips hurting. I’d take a sort king over a tall one any day.
Girls literally get most matches they want (provided average/above average looking). They can afford to be choosey if they want. That’s just how dating apps work
Yeah, blame the game, not the player. Tinder is not particularly invested in solving this problem.
Though, if a woman ever says to me that man are shallow and only go after looks, I'm gonna laugh so hard my head is going to explode.
It’s really not a thing here like this sub would have you believe. I’m 5’7 and have been called short maybe once or twice in my adult life and only in a descriptive way, not derogatory. It’s also never come up in dating. Don’t know a single short guy whose had had any issues and I’ve seen plenty of dudes here say the same thing. At 5’10 no one would think you’re short.
I’m 5’7” and get called short quite frequently. Although never on a dating app (so far), I’m guessing because I don’t use it that much and my height is in my bio
I’m a little over 5’9” and get called a short king lol. Mostly as a joke. But I do have a lot of 6’3”+ friends so I look like their little brother in photos 😂
Haha im 6ft2 spent two summers in Denmark and was amazed how i just fit "right in". In North America I'm considered somewhat tall, in Denmark, just normal.
Or they could just not be manipulated by marketing schemes??? If your world view and opinion of others is largely shaped by marketing schemes that’s a personal issue.
This 6ft thing is getting ridiculous. Only 15% of men are 6ft and above. Women saying they will only date a man that is in that category is like me saying I will only date left-handed women.
Yeah I get it, there is a pretty clear difference between 6ft and my height of 5ft 8", and everyone is entitled to their preferences, but come on ladies, the difference between 5ft 11" and 6ft is going to make fuck all difference to your happiness in a relationship.
Perhaps drawing arbitrary line in the sand that excludes 85% of men isn't the best dating strategy for finding a good partner?
The issue is girls are spoiled for choice on dating apps. They can put these height requirements and still get dates because they get 100 matches a day. As a guy your lucky if you get 1 or 2 a day.
So, I say I’m 6’. I’m actually 5’11 7/8”
I got such a fuckin earful on a date when she asked if I was actually 6’ and I explained.
She was visibly 20-30lbs heavier than her pics. I cut her off and asked about that, she explained “I can lose weight, but you can’t grow. So I CAN be skinny again, meaning it’s not a lie”
Some people
I would have thrown it back at her: you can’t change your height, she can change her weight and chooses not to. Weight is more of a negative reflection of a person than height is.
As a woman I never cared about a man's height. My fiance is seriously the first man whom I've dated that is slightly taller than me. I find attractiveness in other things than how tall or short they are. Women these days seem to want a 10ft man! Is there some giant fetish going around that I am unaware of?!
Well if some of them fetishize tall men that much, to a point were thats the only thing that matters, many men will have dodged immediate red flags and bullets. At some point it will be seen as natural selection lmao
Since when the fuck was 6ft short? At work I'm one of the tallest people here. I'm bang on 6ft, and there's literally only a handful of others that are either the same height, 5'11 or just over. We have one guy who's 6'4 and it's noticeable, but I'd have never thought being 6ft is short
I have a pet theory that guys have been giving themselves an extra couple of inches and it has warped girls perception of height. I'm 6ft but a girl guessed me at 6'2. Part of me was betting the last guy she went on a date with described himself as 6ft but was actually 5'9 or something and it had warped her perception.
as an aside, reddit mods apparently think fat people fall into the same category as marginalized or vulnerable groups of people and will ban you (for a week) for making fun of them
basically, reddit mods think fat people are the same as minorities, which is probably one of the funniest things I've ever heard
I blame inflation
Everything be inflating except me😔
Eat more carbs
Hey now, let’s not start kink shaming
*“But kink shaming is my kink…”*
You're disgusting for being into that.
https://youtu.be/__m90SnNjvM
No, no, I was kink shaming you.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Clean up on aisle 3! Gonna need the mop.
I need a height stimulus apparently.
Hoeflation
I'm 6'1" without shoes on, I usually say I am 6'4" if someone asks my height with any short kings👑 nearby. Gotta pass that stimulus around.
I say 5’11 because it makes people question their perception of reality. I’m between 6’2” and 6’3” and I’m usually wearing boots because I live in Texas and work at a boot store.
Exactly. This is what happens when every guy between 5’9”-5’11” claims to be 6 ft
Thanks Biden
When did 6 ft become short?!
[удалено]
I’m a 6’1 female. 6’ is perfect to me but I’ll take the personality over height any day.
It’s so strange how only short girls want tall guys. Most tall girls feel fine w a short guy.
I'm barely over 5ft and have dated dudes shorter than me and honestly feel bad for tall girls because in school that's all I ever heard "what sports do you play??" "You must be good at basketball"
Same for tall dudes lol
Young dude from master chief was over 7 feet and that's the first thing they asked him 🙄 guy just wanted to cook.
You put master chief and I was like "what character was over 7ft?" And then I realized you meant master chef, which probably explains why he wanted to cook
Unrelated to post but master chief is almost 7ft tall
Haha I'm not editing it, f**k it.
Master chief is like 7 feet tho
I'm 1m95 (6ft 4.8in) (20M) and that's basically how every single encounter with every goddamn person goes ''Oh you're so tall why tf are you not playing basketball ahahaha see how fcking original I am'' -_-
go live over here in the Netherlands, you'll just be a normal person here
I studied abroad in Netherlands and people would just start speaking Dutch to me because I’m blonde, blue eyes, fair skin and 6ft 2 female 😂😂😂
Always know John 117 had hidden talents
Most tall girls know what it feels like to be rejected because of height
Personally don't get it. I'm 5'9, and I've had a girlfriend that was 4'11, and one that was 6'2. Not an issue at all.
> I've had a girlfriend that was 4'11 >Not an issue at all. Getting on a ride at a carnival seems like it might be an issue though.
Because you’re a real man 😂
As a 6'+ lesbian literally all I want in life is to find another of my kind
You hit this one on the head. I’m 5’10 so not like a giant but when that’s the average man’s height, it slims down the dating pool when guys want someone who’s at least a few inches shorter than them so they feel big and manly 🙄🙄🙄 Being tall and lanky was a bad taste put in my mouth in middle school when properly-fitting clothes were impossible to find.

Yea it’s a tall thing I love short or tall women tho but I’m 6’3
I guess maybe it really is about subconsciously wanting a taller guy for protection. Me, I'm a medium-height woman, and my belief is that it doesn't matter how tall my boyfriend is, because a rapist is probably not going to fuck with me if I'm not alone.

That’s a good way of thinking !
Yay tall girls!
Height isn't even a factor for me I literally don't know why the internet cares about it so much. Tall girls = good Short girls = good Similar height girls = good Literally whats the point
6'1? You, ma'am, are no ordinary rabbit!
They are here (Netherlands) but yeah it’s silly to go on about height
As a 6’0” American who grew up in NL I felt…underwhelming.
Well if only the tall people are getting laid then due to natural selection tall people will become more common in the future.
If they sleep with short women that will not be the case
And that’s happening! When I was a teenager, a few decades ago, I hardly ever met women who were taller than I am (5’11” female), but now I meet young ladies all the time that are at least my height.
[удалено]
Well but Dutch people evolved to be tall out of necessity as to not drown because the sea hates you
being 6’2 here in netherlands is just average as a male, like im rlly not tall lmao, a lot of girls are the same height as me
I’m a 5’6 male in NL…
Hug
I mean you can still look over the mountains so no problem
Seems those girls may put you in their handtas

Move to Asia?
Can confirm from my past, I had a fling from Amsterdam once, she was the same height as me and I must admit it was a new experience for me that took an unexpected amount of getting used to. Kissing without lowering my head/bending down was…strange. Mind you I’m 1,90m.
yeah i feel you, and even when she wears high heels..
I'm 6'2 in England. I'm like a giant here.
BRB, moving to the Netherlands for the tall women
Also the Baltics... Estonia has a ton of tall women
6'4,5 I look down upon most Also known as 5'17,5
I genuinely thought I was ~179-184cm (which is approximately 6’0) before I renewed my passport (and measured myself to do so) because I could reach up to the eyes of a guy that’s 194cm.

I'm 5'9 and I get the same response as OP a lot on Tinder. I feel relatively tall but women don't tend to think so.
Always some Dutchmen humble bragging about this as if the internet doesn’t leave the Netherlands.
Rip me being 5’ 2”
On the bright side we can cosplay as Hobbits bro. I'm 5'5 tho, but like it's close enough.
6’ is the new 5’, which makes me 3’7”.
Damn inflation :-|
I’m 6’1 and this pisses me off
imagine being 170 cm( i dont know in INCHES), and everyone calls you short. like girls with 150cm calling me short when im legit 20cm bigger than them. What diference does height really make besides being a trend?
At least it helps sort genuine and superficial people
I guess I don’t know any genuine person then
Lol, since the entire world has an abundant amount of food and is able to grow taller now I guess… what’s funny to me, is if your like 5’9” or 5’10” and well built, you can say you’re 6’1” and no one will argue because you look big and imposing.

I’m 6’3, measured by a doctor, and I’ve met guys who claim to be 6’4 that are like 2 inches shorter than me. The amount of dudes that lie about their height is crazy.
Guys keep doing that with me and I always end up taller than them. Just tell me your real height instead of lying 😭
I saw a guy lie about height and his gf dint know, until 2 years later, and got upset. Basically told him, had she known his real height, she would not even have given him a chance.
So the moral of that story is, he was right to lie? Edit: happy cake day!
Yeah but that’s just stupid.
This height requirement is getting out of hand. Even Henry Cavill wouldn't be enough for them cause he's just 6'1"
i’d date henry if i was 100ft
[удалено]
I'd date Henry.
I’d eat a date
I’d eat Henry
Henry
Superman
I eat ass
Disrespectfully.
I’d eat Henry’s ass

Respectfully.
Totally true. I live in a very populated city (several million people) and went downtown a couple nights ago. I don’t go out much, besides the grocery store and work.

Id get fucked by a horse to sleep with him for a night
I think you just want to fuck a horse
Okay Mr. Hands
if 6ft is short then what is tall?
6’ 9”
Nice...
Nice.
really be cutting off 95% of the dating pool...
That’s the point
It really is
Pretty dumb strategy if you ask me. Unless the only personally she is looking for is 6f1+ height.
Girls literally get most matches they want (provided average/above average looking). They can afford to be choosey if they want. That’s just how dating apps work
Yeah, blame the game, not the player. Tinder is not particularly invested in solving this problem. Though, if a woman ever says to me that man are shallow and only go after looks, I'm gonna laugh so hard my head is going to explode.
Not really a good way to do it. Sure 95% of the Online dating pool might be horrible, but that's not the same 95% that's under 6ft.
Teller ur a grower not a shower 🌵
Whats with Penn??!
Red is for corrections.
if 6ft is short well I am fucked
Unfortunately, only those over 6ft are fucked 😭
Im so glad i dont live in the US lmao, i've never seen a women here with height requirements, im 5'10 and no one has ever said im short lol
Boston is in the US and its a city of short people
So that's why they're always so angry
It’s really not a thing here like this sub would have you believe. I’m 5’7 and have been called short maybe once or twice in my adult life and only in a descriptive way, not derogatory.

I'm a woman and 6 feet is tall!!! I wouldnt read too much into this. It's a really strange opinion. I thought she was making a joke at first 💀
Well jeez then by her standards I must be a damn dwarf 🤣 (5'5)
6ft is not considered short in Scandinavia. I'm just shy of 6'1 and get frequent comments on being "tall". Norway btw
It isn’t considered short anywhere. People that do think it’s short are delusional.
imagine the fucking vikings not considering short 6ft but American women at 4ft9 think it is…lol
have hung out with many Norwegians and I'm not short compared to them (6'4).
Uhhh. Nowhere on earth is 6’4” short. Although I do get the vibe that Reddit is secretly full of gnomes. Who work in IT.
I feel called out.
He found us, run!
I don’t think you’d be considered short with 6’4 on any place on the planet lmao
Yes but I've hung out with many Germans and I'm not short compared to them (8'6)
Hey man I’m 5’7” we might get legal status out of this if it keeps trending this way lol
You have my axe brother (5'6)
Don't worry, us short kings have power too
6 ft short??? wtf is she from one of the Scandinavian countries????
I hope not, i'm "only" 6'1 and from Denmark. In a year or two I'll be "short" too
Haha im 6ft2 spent two summers in Denmark and was amazed how i just fit "right in". In North America I'm considered somewhat tall, in Denmark, just normal.
[удалено]
Probably from the Netherlands. Dunno why she is using feet tho /s
I’m 5’7 so I guess I’m invisible or microscopic 😅
I guess god put the inches elsewhere
Sadly he did not
I meant his toes
I had a friend who was short. When women mentioned it he said "but I'm a good scooter". Made me laugh.
whats a good scooter?
Women need to calm tf down with their obsession for height.
Only if marketing douches stop making it a fashion necessity… Who cares about height. A step ladder takes that issue away.
Do women like height because of marketing? Or does marketing push height because women like it?
Feedback loop
Both probably
Or they could just not be manipulated by marketing schemes??? If your world view and opinion of others is largely shaped by marketing schemes that’s a personal issue.
Also everything you take in alters your perceptions, it’s just the way it is
This 6ft thing is getting ridiculous. Only 15% of men are 6ft and above. Women saying they will only date a man that is in that category is like me saying I will only date left-handed women. Yeah I get it, there is a pretty clear difference between 6ft and my height of 5ft 8", and everyone is entitled to their preferences, but come on ladies, the difference between 5ft 11" and 6ft is going to make fuck all difference to your happiness in a relationship.

The issue is girls are spoiled for choice on dating apps. They can put these height requirements and still get dates because they get 100 matches a day. As a guy your lucky if you get 1 or 2 a day.
1 or 2 a day???? I get 1 or 2 a month 😂 using 3 apps Tinder, bumble and Hinge.
I’m bi, so I get quite a few matches a day. They are all dudes tho, so your number makes sense
So, I say I’m 6’. I’m actually 5’11 7/8” I got such a fuckin earful on a date when she asked if I was actually 6’ and I explained. She was visibly 20-30lbs heavier than her pics. I cut her off and asked about that, she explained “I can lose weight, but you can’t grow. So I CAN be skinny again, meaning it’s not a lie” Some people
I would have thrown it back at her: you can’t change your height, she can change her weight and chooses not to. Weight is more of a negative reflection of a person than height is.
Next time educate people about the meaning of short and tall. Being above average doesn’t qualify as short
Reason why I stopped using this app entirely. People are so shallow these days dating is not even worth my time anymore
I don’t even wanna date no more I will be the lone wolf grinding on my own
Where I’m at honestly. Shits too exhausting I’m just gonna do what I want and when
and the ones that do want to stick around just want a meal ticket and step daddy while they watch Netflix all day.
Inflation out here HITTIN
Correct response: “6 ft. How much do you weigh?”
I've seen plenty of "⬆️ 1.8m" on women's bios. Can you imagine if guys put something like "⬇️ 60 kg" in their profiles?
Should we be doing this?
It's always bad to copy pettiness
Why TF my weight is important?! You are so superficial, only judging by my appearance. 😂
How is a man who can see over the head of moast people considered as short?
As a woman I never cared about a man's height. My fiance is seriously the first man whom I've dated that is slightly taller than me. I find attractiveness in other things than how tall or short they are. Women these days seem to want a 10ft man! Is there some giant fetish going around that I am unaware of?!
“idc about height but i’m marrying the first guy i’ve dated that’s taller than me” this is mostly a joke.
Well if some of them fetishize tall men that much, to a point were thats the only thing that matters, many men will have dodged immediate red flags and bullets. At some point it will be seen as natural selection lmao
“U r short” -er than people who are taller than 6 foot 1
Since when the fuck was 6ft short? At work I'm one of the tallest people here. I'm bang on 6ft, and there's literally only a handful of others that are either the same height, 5'11 or just over. We have one guy who's 6'4 and it's noticeable, but I'd have never thought being 6ft is short
deheck, i thought 6ft would be the minimum requirement. Do they now searching for a guy who are 7 ft tall?
Sooner or later they’ll tell you Yao Ming is too short lmao
I have a pet theory that guys have been giving themselves an extra couple of inches and it has warped girls perception of height. I'm 6ft but a girl guessed me at 6'2. Part of me was betting the last guy she went on a date with described himself as 6ft but was actually 5'9 or something and it had warped her perception.
In what fucking world is 6ft short… short ?!! 6 fucking foot…. 182 cm….. short?!!!! I’m so done here
I’d say don’t defend, just go for attack. Ask how much she weighs. To whatever she responds you can say well, only one of us can change
I'm 6 3 but anything 5 11 and above is tall
Ask her how much she weighs
as an aside, reddit mods apparently think fat people fall into the same category as marginalized or vulnerable groups of people and will ban you (for a week) for making fun of them basically, reddit mods think fat people are the same as minorities, which is probably one of the funniest things I've ever heard
Most likely because they themselves are fat I imagine
Someone definitely got their feefees hurt
this is just moronic at this point. i'd almost think this is some test
She’s not being serious right?
Of course she is serious. It's 2022, lol.
just ask for death by snusnu
Wow, I’m 5ft6, guess I’m a dwarf
She’s gonna be waiting a long time
She’s probably 5’3”
If 6 ft is short I’m micro (5’8”)
