Do women know that only 14.5 percent of men are 6 feet or taller?

[coachTanthony]

I'm not sure they do lol

[Cynicaldreamer]

Do men know that the majority of women genuinely don't cate about height? And most of us have or will date men shorter than 6ft?

... just saying 😂

I really can't believe that's still a concern of men. Both my exes were below 6ft, AND every guy I've previously liked or had a crush on in the past was below 6ft. And it never phased me.

I promise most women in real life aren't as vain as the twits you see on social media or dating sites.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

"Twits" - perfect

[Cynicaldreamer]

@MiddleAgedClimbee I'm sorry, but I get riled over people that make dating and relationships more convulted than they should be. It makes no sense to me.

Yes, twits are a suiting name for them, lol

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I agree with your post wholeheartedly. Granted, I'm not in the dating pool, but I really can't believe the vanity and the expectations. People need to quit making lists and just find someone that makes them happy and reciprocate.

[Joshydavid25]

I think enough women have said it to the point where it makes a lot of men insecure.. There's truth to both and a middle ground..

[pass_the_celery98]

I dunno a lot girls care about height on GAG it’s almost like they are trying to troll a guy who’s not 6ft or make him feel like shit.

[Vegasrunner]

@Cynicaldreamer How many women have you dated as a man?

[Cynicaldreamer]

@Vegasrunner What's a matter Vegas? Hard to believe a woman can think, act, and speak in a rational manner?

It's okay... really. I'm not going to play the, "I'm a female and can prove it" game because you're going to believe what you choose to- just like the men that put too much emphasis on height and refuse to believe not all of us have that mentality.

So have a nice day... and bless your heart.

[Vegasrunner]

@Cynicaldreamer Lol, I'd like to find one that can. Case in point, you responded to a question w/ a question not an answer

[Andrewsmith14]

That isn’t accurate that the majority of women don’t care about height.
Most do find men taller than them to be an attractive quality. And most definitely don’t want the man to be too short.

[KlinkyCoder]

But can you please tell that to all the women who do openly say they want or strongly prefer only men 6' or over? Sometimes I can give it the benefit of the doubt, but the problem with it is that it can't be acceptable for men to say openly they only want women in a certain weight range.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Do men? Cuz if they do the majority percentage of women dating/in a relationship or married are to average height males, not JUST tall men as they claim on here🤷‍♀️

[coachTanthony]

So is that a no? lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh no I know they’re not all tall… I’m just saying why do men on here make it like ALL women give a rats ass about that… when they really don’t… I think men are more fixated on height then women are…

[Nifrayu]

Yet the one's saying they won't date a short man are all women.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Nifrayu “the ones” saying that is the key there… Yet not ALL women say that 🤷‍♀️

[Nifrayu]

That's what I just said. Lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Nifrayu still don’t get how that relates… cuz it’s not just women saying it… guts on here tell people women won’t date shorter guys and that’s just bull… there’s lots of short to average height guys on my job that have girlfriends or wives…

[Nifrayu]

I guess that can be true. I just haven't seen it from men.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Nifrayu I haven’t in real life either, just on here

[mandyfire98]

We know average height is like 5'9" and that most men are around this height. We also know that height isn't that big of a deal. That 6 foot only thing is only something really pushed on the internet and not in real life. I don't have any girlfriends that have that requirement or know any woman in person that has that.

It's just part of that "all women want 6 feet, 6 figures and 6 inches" nonsense. It's not true for the majority of women.

[Levin]

6 inches isn't very much though.

[mandyfire98]

It's above average. That's my point. Majority of Women are perfectly fine with average on all accounts

[Christian77777]

That’s actually a really refreshing perspective to hear. A lot of the insecurities guys have about height seem to come more from what’s amplified online than from real-world experience. Social media creates this “6ft+ or nothing” narrative, but when you look at actual dating patterns, personality and compatibility outweigh something like a few inches of height.

There are even tools online that break down how different traits (like height, age, or income) affect dating pools and perceptions. For example, this calculator does a good job of showing how rare certain combinations are:
. It puts some of those “standards” into perspective.

At the end of the day, most people just want someone they genuinely connect with — height really isn’t the dealbreaker people think it is.

[magiusX26]

looking at common standards amongst women, i would say no. as we have around 80 to 90 percent of women wanting men over 6 feet. which goes back to a point i have made before about many women knowingly or not are sharing guys in that over 6 feet category for so many to seemingly have a legit claim of finding themselves a guy over 6 feet tall. basic math can tell that even if 25 percent of women are with a guy over 6 feet and there are only 14.5 percent of men fit that, some have to be sharing as 25 percent is nearly 2 women per each man. sorry ladies but the numbers don't lie, unlike humans.

[Vegasrunner]

@magiusx26 You are most certainly correct they are sharing us and it's great!

[AaronKrieger]

They don't give a shit.

Seriously, I have seen conventionally attractive women even during high school date guys that were short even if they were the same height or taller. Being tall is an attractive quality, but most of us treat superficial qualities like that as "bonuses" and not something needed.

Stop overthinking it. You only ever see women require it who are on social media, since people like to distribute things such as that for views.

[syncheart]

I think when I was around a lot of girls and had an ideal in my head of what I wanted to be with... The height thing mattered to me. Now that I'm in my middle age. Really I can only hope that any woman of any height would have anything to do with me! Hence I choose not to care.

[purplepoppy]

Perhaps the other 85.5% should have thought about that when they were growing.

[NamerOfStars]

They spend their lives being told, again and again, that this:

is eight inches. Then you get confused about why they struggle with math...

[Anonymous]

Women are delusional with the height thing, for a gender that loses their shit and calls other women fake for getting breast implants or whatever, we live in a fake society. Women want to feel “protected” by a tall man like damn, what happens if something happens to him and he can’t protect you and you gotta protect him are you gonna run to the lawyers office and file a divorce for another 6’5 6 figure salary man? Smh. The fact that women find it a turn off for a guy to be average height which is around 5’8-5’10 is ridiculous.

[Bricealan]

Interesting stats, Coach... I am on the short side, I thought...5'8" with shoes on

but I usually don't find myself "looking up' at too many other men..

[JacobJordan]

the stat is a bit inaccurate. 14.5% of ALL men (as in on earth) are 6'+. roughly 1% of American men are 6'+ or 1.66m which is a shockingly small number. world wide it is just under 600m. so no you wouldn't find yourself looking up to many men especially given 5'9 is taller than 42% of americans and 5'10 is taller than nearly 60% of americans. the reality of anyone saying they want a specific height partner is they are likely going to be disappointed unless that number is 5'8-5'10. 6' tall men are taller than 80%+ of the male US population and 99.9% of the female US population.

[Bricealan]

@JacobJordan Interesting stats, JJ,,,,,,,, thanks for that!

[MarkieB]

This is a weird website. Girlsaskguys? What is the point? Girls might ask guys, but if we don't give them the answer they want, they aren't interested. This is a complete waste of time.
Look at the topics and answers... they demonstrate this perfectly...

[Apple1996]

I honestly think some women don't even know what 6ft looks like

[FenixG45]

Ikr?

[Lisia]

Do most really care though? Usually from what I know we just want the man to be TALLER than us, not necessarily 6ft or more.

[ZackBan]

If they knew us tall guys would have an easier time getting or keeping a woman.
But as of now they think we're a dime a dozen until it's too late.

[Jazzy54]

Meh. 🤷🏽‍♀️ A man’s height has never been a big deal to me anyway. That’s low on my list.

[blueonblack22]

Makes no difference. At least 50% of women think they deserve the top 10% of men.

I’m 6ft by the way.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've never been taller than 5'10. I get a lot of attention from women. I don't know where these people are going that none of the women will take a man under 6'.

[NathanDavis]

this is probably why many studies do show that most women actually marry and date the average men height which is around 5'8" or 5'9"

[redlighter]

I'm 36 and I've never had a girlfriend and I'm over 6 ft tall and I'm honestly telling the truth about being over 6 ft tall. I've never had success with women but I'm also really shy

[Joshydavid25]

Apparently not a lot of the ones who claim that it's so much of a requirement.. Maybe living in heavily populated areas or not knowing how to gauge height has clouded reality for them.

[HawkPerception]

Just here to say I appreciate the women's comments on this topic as I'm only 5'9 😂

[Unit1]

So that means there can be at most only the top 14.5 % of men (rather than the top 20% of men). AT MOST. Doesn't even mean, that these 14.5% of men, who are 6 feet+ tall men are also rich or muscular or have big influence.

😁

[Drewtate]

They know. That's why they want us.

[coachTanthony]

lol 😂

[Billlewis]

That doesn't matter, because an attractive woman can have pretty much any guy she wants nowadays.

[Anonymous]

Luckily for me I had a Biology class in college with the entire basketball team, so all 14.5 percent were in there. I'm a tall girl myself and apparently statistically there are only about 9% of women that fall into my height bracket.

[Vegasrunner]

@anonymous I like that you're willing to admit how important this is for women.

[Opinion Owner]

@Vegasrunner Ha, I don't speak for all women, just myself, but I'm tall, so it was nice to have a class back then with some other 'giants' like myself because a lot of short guys too assume, a tall woman wouldn't want a short man, and mostly, are they wrong? Don't blame them. Unlike other women though, my whole life, no one has said, date whomever you want. It's "you have to find a tall guy because you're tall!" People trying to set me up have looked for other tall men, even though I've never asked them to, but they just assumed that's all I could ever be happy with, but I've dated shorter guys before. I'd hate to miss out on the love of my life simply because he was 3 inches shorter than me.

[Vegasrunner]

@OpinionOwner No, but I can and most women like taller men. You're just more willing to admit it which os something they rarely do.

[beefcakebradybatson]

But they still love Barneys.(Male giraffes).

[DextroShade]

I would recommend all single women go on the Female Delusion Calculator to find out how realistic their expectations are.

[Sonorous]

Maybe not because I'm only 5'10 and some women have said I look 6'

[KlinkyCoder]

Might also be part of a biological thing. I would also be lying if I didn't say I think natural blondes are the most gorgeous, and natural blonde is 1-2% of adults in the world.

[WhitneySnow]

Really? I didn’t know that. A lot of my guy friends are tall for their age.

[mobiusforniner]

I’m not 6ft but I’m at least 6inches. That’s what matters.

[Andrewsmith14]

That’s mostly because of men that are indigenous to Asian countries, and most women in those counties have adapted to this anyway.

[MissBoogus]

How is that possible? I just went to fair and literally every guy there is at least 6 foot

[Andrewsmith14]

It’s be of Asian people.

[Andrewsmith14]

*because

[FreyaRed]

but it's 100% of hot boys. XD

[Likes2drive]

I don’t think they care just as long as they can get them, even though they’ve limited their self extremely by those standards

[Sharkstealth]

I'm 6'4" and currently single. When you state your ideal girl is that the only gal that you think gets men?

[BarryLiverstone]

Maybe you mean women in the USA? Because 6 foot isn’t some magical need in Europe as they go by the metric system.

[Staximus]

No, they don't. Especially in the online dating world.

[msc545]

Try to figure out the percentage of men that are 6 ft+, rich, and good looking.

[msc545]

Now watch all the women posting on here lie about their preferences.

[Nikki1989]

Didn't know and still don't care.

[Meatunnel69]

Height doesn't really matter I'm 6'4" mid thirties and haven't had a date in a decade

[zagor]

Of men where? In Sweden it will be different than in Thailand.

[LiamJHayden]

It probably seems like a higher percentage since so many under 6 feet don't go outside much.

[Ms_Facesitter]

Yes, no surprise there.

[RedInnocent68]

Yeah, girls have a lot of expectation issues.

[Anonymous]

Did you know one percent of the men have one hundred percent of the women?

[SeaStorm1]

Nope I prefer short men.

[pethouse]

Why?

[SeaStorm1]

@pethouse taller men are enitnted and coky

[Nifrayu]

Does that make us a minority?

[pethouse]

But how tall are you coach?

[captain_voidwalker]

I'm sure they do it's just that they don't care

[Lynn2001]

I don’t care about a man’s height

[FenixG45]

That's why I only go after the short girls!

[IslaTheWitch]

I don't care :D

[Anonymous]

What's you point?

[Opinion Owner]
