Do most women consider a guy that is 6ft or more much more dateable? If so, is that the only reason?

Question

I've worked with a lot of guys that are frankly smart, friendly, good mannered and what seem to make good loyal partners based on their character. But not much taller than me, even though most people I've met are as tall if not taller than me because I'm only 5'8 and 155lbs Which frankly I'm just not sure why other guys that seem to be better off than me wouldn't have a girlfriend too honestly. Especially since they didn't seem to be socially awkward and they enjoyed popular things like sports, games, movies, they not average height like me and they dont have a lack of a taste in interests of things. So I figured most women must pass them up simply because of them not being as tall as the average NBA player. Because usually where I am whenever I see straight couples these days there is at least a 7-8 inch difference in height between the male and female. However most guys i talked with usually dont want their partner to be twice the size or weight they are But tell me what you think.

This is a funny question. Women are going to get mad at me and men are going to sight with women who respond to my post because they want to be with that girl. I dont care about guy or girl code.

So, to answer your question women do not know hight. They all say 6ft but in reality they don't know how tall thay is. They also don't know the difference between CM or MM. Well this goes for men as well they dont know how to measure hight or their penis. They always round up and measur from below scrotum to tip vs tom of penit tip to pelvic without pusing in. So, when women say I like my men tall or hung they really don't know. All they want is looks and money. They friends zone the avg. guy and hight. They would rather get used by a good looking guy that wants just sex, use theses women how they desire and leave them. Women love the bad boy image because women love to try and fix them. In reality these women are the ones who are broken. Women then lowered their standards a bit and then go with option 25 on their call list, date the guy force the guy to be a bad boy or change the guy into a fantasy of their creation. Eveything above is true. This my friend is called the Independent Modern Women. They all complain about why they are still single but their body count is higher than any man. Just look at how many men's contact number she has save in her phone. #whatever podcast.

I think the key is this...

Females want to feel PROTECTED by the man they are with. This is at or near the top of their list in a mate. It's natural instinct and a key element of what constitutes "attraction" for them.

A guy can make her feel that way in more than one way:

He can be big to physically protect her.

He can be smart to be able to figure out how to protect her in any situation.

He can be wealthy to protect her from poverty and need.

He can have an endearing personality that lifts her spirits.

He can have a great sense of humor that protects her from feeling down.

He can be spiritual in a way that protects her from feeling lonely.

He can be a combination of any of the above. Some more, some less, some not at all.

When she adds up the points you score on each of these, if they meet her protection threshold, it works for her.

So... a really short guy isn't necessarily out of the game. Just has to score enough points in the other categories to meet her "I feel protected" threshold.

Good looks will attract early attention but not maintain attention. Personality, personal qualities, behaviour, intelligence, and kindness keep my attention long term. Like I have people I like immediately and I have people I like after years and years of interaction. Not all trees bear fruit the first year they are planted.

Most people date around their height, if there  is  a drastic difference it’s just more noticeable. You’re only 22, get having to be a certain height to have success out of your head. There are so many other factors that go into picking a partner that are more important than that

LaFemmeFatale_1 · Answer

Not really, I’ve dated men from 5’1 ft to 7ft.

coachTanthony · Answer

Well there are reasons behind the reason. Men who are tall well at least taller then the woman give them protection vibes. It's biological.

BCA6010 · Answer

I'm 5'10 and never been rejected for height.  Most  women I've dated were between 5'2 and 5'6, with one 6'1 outlier. Personally, I don't care about height, but I've known plenty of women (most of whom are frankly not the best looking or all that pleasant to be around) who consider it extremely important. To each their own...

I always look at height as being to a woman like being fat is to a guy. Women prefer taller guys on the avg. Men prefer less girthful girls.

I talked to a guy on here who said he wouldn't date a woman over 110lbs. And I asked him, "how do you know"? "Do you carry a scale around with you"?🤣

I think height with some women height is a MUST but I also think that percentage of women is low. I think with a much larger percentage of women you're always going to be at decided disadvantage to taller guys. But it can be overcome by being a better man than him. I think this is the bulk of women. And then I think there is a small percentage of women that do not care about a man's height.

Either way dude. We both know height has nothing to do with your quality.

I’m 5’4 and the guy I’m dating is 5’7. He’s taller than me, though not by much, and I think he’s perfect for me. My dad, on the other hand, is shorter than my mom. Every woman is different and every woman has their own preferences. And preferences can change with age. Since you’re 22, I assume the age range you’re looking at is 18-22yo women. Still young and still growing up.

Bro you know the answer to this question.

YES.

You can be a near midget and get a lot of female interest... if you have a god like face.

But notice that it is still SOMETHING SUPERFICIAL.

You must accept that dating and women are so superficial that they aren't even shallow

clovertheminotaur · Answer

I couldn't care less about height. I'm personally 4'11, a kiss with someone over 6 feet tall would be an exercise as best. I'm perfectly happy with a short king- If there's a guy that's shorter than me, I'll be impressed!

RavVid · Answer

Tall dark and handsome has been the meme for a long time.

It has been suggested that it is very necessary for a girl to have filters for guys on dating apps because there are so many more guys than girls. So if there was a slight preference for 6' the girl is not going to see any guys under. Sort of self fulfilling.

A psychologist said he put his height as 6' minus but the girl married him anyway.

Don't know but for what it is worth.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Most people prefer to date someone who is roughly the same height as them, give or take a few inches. Most people are within the range of 5 to 6 feet tall. Some people have fetishes for very short or very tall people, but generally height isn't a huge factor.

I’ve never heard a girl put a height standard on who they will date. They might want a man taller than them but that’s usually not hard to find. Most women will happily date a guy at any height if he’s kind, funny, smart, and attractive to them.

rosemilk · Answer

height doesn't make him more dateable. sounds like a very dumb way of dating. it brings nothing to the table once you have been together for decades.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

As long as the guy is decently taller than me I am happy. I dated a guy who was 5'10 and he was super hot. Depends how shallow a girl you are willing to date lol.

Altheavas · Answer

I never actually consider height as factor dating someone, but maybe a little because I don’t think I can date someone shorter! It’s all on individual preferences!

patrick994 · Answer

For the majority of women it is a man who is considered attractive from 180 cm and up, a minority might date a short man, this I could see from hearing my friends talk as well.

bobalife · Answer

Depends if he has a good personality, character, compatibility, sincere, loving, and caring.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Couldn't prove it by me! I'm 6' 9" and haven't had anyone in 28 years!! And she was only my third over an 11 year period. First one lasted a few months, the second lasted a few weeks.

laly520 · Answer

if his personality is good enough plus he is a caring loving person then height won't matter

Minahh · Answer

Lmao no the fact that he's 6ft doesn't make him dateable

LiamJHayden · Answer

I've gotten dates because of my height (6'2) and have gotten rejected for being too tall. Women have individual preferences.

Anonymous · Answer

I would only prefer a guy that is over 180cm because I am 177cm myself. I simply cannot feel cute when a guy is way too close to my height or lower as it simply makes me insecure. None of my girl friends are over 165cm and I feel like a heavy giant despite being slightly underweight. Tall girls are often expected to be sexy and I would feel stupid if I let myself do anything remotely cute. Im even too scared to wear girly colored clothing, pastels and such. Welcome to my delusions
