Yes, women do consider 5'9"/175 cm and 5'10"/178 cm to be short/not-tall/"average" (mediocre) for a man. Seven different people on this thread alone has called it shit tier, aka "average." Like, who the fuck wants to be human fecal matter? Garbage? Worthless? Hell, I'd rather be called short than human excrement.
I control-F'ed this page and literally only one woman, Marshmellowlavender, said it's tall/good enough. Everyone else implied it was a worthless value on a man. I'm technically 1-2 inches above this and this thread even made me feel like shit because everything below six feet is irrelevant/not good enough/"average"/worthless in the eyes of women and society anyway.
Average height of an adult male
Denmark 181.4, or 5 feet, 11.5 inches
Germany 179.9, or 5 feet, 11 inches
Norway 179.7, or 5 feet, 11 inches
France 179.7, or 5 feet, 11 inches
Australia 179.2, or 5 feet, 10.5 inches
Canada 178.1, or 5 feet, 10 inches
U. K. 177.5, or 5 feet, 10 inches
U. S. 177.1, or 5 feet, 9.5 inches
I don't think that's short because the average height of a woman in the world is only 5'4'". I am a female that is 5'4.5" and I feel that a 4.5- 5.5 inch difference is quite a bit. And, this is really just a stupid preference, but I would like for a guy to be taller than me if I were in heels, so.. I don't think it's short. And to be honest, I wouldn't mind them being shorter than me either 😊.
No not really. I’d say it’s average.
if your trying to mimic the idealised male beauty standards then yea you will feel short and shit.
much like I’d a female tries to mimic the idealised female beauty standards she will feel the same way.
but nothing wrong with average. Sure might be nice to be a bit taller. But we all think that about something physical we possess.

It's not short. Its also not tall so you have to find somthing else about yourself to be attractive.
A shallow girl only looking for height isn't going to pick you and you need to be okay with that.
It is short but if I was attracted to him I would still date him. I’m 5’3 the difference is not that much but as long as he’s not shorter than me I’m fine.
You are only 5'3 yet tou feel 5'9 is short and tou don't really like that height on a man?
@insteadfew honestly I've dated someone who's 5'9 and the height difference was not that much between us. I was taller than him in heels.
What the hell kind of high heels were you wearing to surpass that 5'9 man in height? I've seen a 5'4 girl in high heels who's barely 1 or 2 inches away from matching a 5'9 man in height.
My heels are not that high tho but you would think there's a big difference between a 5'3 and a 5'9 and there's actually not much difference of course he was still slightly taller than me but with heels I was taller than him. I guess it also depends on the person's body posture.
So there's not much difference between a 5'6 man and a 6'0 man... not much.. yeah?
@insteadfew there is obviously. I'm not comparing different men's heights I'm comparing my height with the guy I dated. My husband is 6'3 and he's much taller than my ex tho.
That’s the same height as me but I don’t think it’s short for a man I think it’s tall for a girl and maybe slightly above average for a man.
Wow you're nice blessed girl
Lol any or considering that short is fucking stupid.
i dread to think what fucking height they think average starts at 😂
Statistically, no it's average.
But if you are asking about whether a specific woman likes you or not, you should ask her what height she considers short... because not all women think the same way.
Honestly, you don't wanna be dating someone this shallow anyways. Even if you think they are "pretty", there are plenty of pretty women out there who are not this shallow... don't settle for assholes.
Women will hate this one... GUYS WOULD YOU CONSIDER DATING A WOMAN THAT'S HEAVIER THAN YOU? That question is equivalent to what this woman just asked. Only difference is MEN CAN'T change height! WOMEN CAN change their weight! Body shaming men with their height but oh no no no men can't shame a woman for her weight? Bitch please
Someone in here who is 5/11 thinks he is short. Figure that one out.
How tall are you
@insteadfew 5/7, or taller with heels.
No that's the average height of a man in America and a good 4-5 inches taller than me.
Not short. If you don't believe me look it up. 5' 9" is the average height for males over 20 years old in the U S.
I guess every woman has their own perspective on what they consider short.
I’m 5ft10 so I consider it short since I’m the same height as them. For me a tall guy is 6ft1 and up.
Are you from Netherlands?
@insteadfew No, Canada
Statistically this is average for men, but since I am taller than that, compared to me, that would be a shorter man.
You are taller than 5'9?
@insteadfew We do exist.
That's so fortunate... and i envy wmen like that tall... also I feel bad for myself because i am not worth them
I'm 6'4ish and don't consider that short. I think 5'10" is average in the US.
Actually, no it's not short.
If it's his height on a dating site, I'd probably be his height.
" I'd probably be his height" mean?
@insteadfew I'm about 5ft5 so if he says that on a dating site he'd be close to my height
5'10 is close to your 5'5?
Its not the physical appearance that keeps relationship going but the aims.
Love and trust of the person
What's your height
Not sure but 5'5
Or 4'9
Meh... there's a significant difference between 4'9 and 5'5... no?
I’m 5’7, so automatically that seems short to me. But height doesn’t do much if you like the person already :)
I’m 5”8 and I don’t know how but I’ve dated stunning girls and some who were slightly taller than me! Just be confident, height isn’t everything!
Women lie. Anything under 6' + is not good enough for them.
No, that’s not short at all.
Lol, who the heck is disagreeing?
@musicbrain5 Most likely the guy who replied to my comment.
Both are taller than me. 🤷♂️
Nope that's tall. In India.
As a girl who is 5'3 ½, 5'9 and 5'10 are tall!
No I wouldn't consider that short at all
No that is like the normal height?
yes. Dudes should be 6' or up.
Hahah you're funny, the 5'10" is average lmao
@Subarugirl I prefer above average though :)
And how tall are you girl?
I'm around that height so 👀👀👀
Foreal, gotta observe
No, they are just shorter. But not short.
Shorter in the eyes of women in general?
@Passion_Devil
That means the same exact thing.
@MCheetah haha yeah
No. To me. I just look at the general public I would say a 5'4 person is short, I would really have to duck to get to their eye level. But 5'9 or 5'10 there is not that much of a difference for me so I don't see them as a short person.
You aee a 5'9 tall woman?
I am 6 ft
And you are a woman?
Yes we exist.
So intimidating... and i would feel so emasculated
@Passion_Devil
You don't get it, because men and women are different. Biologically, a man is NOT supposed to be as small and weak as a woman, or compared to you, even smaller and weaker than a woman. You may look at men and women as being physical and strength equals, but for a man, he does not want a woman looking at him as cute, non-threatening, or the same way a person would look at a squirrel or bunny rabbit. That is essentially what you are saying when you say "they are just shorter." You don't see them as men. You basically see them as one of the girls and as a non-threat.
I wouldn't be with a man if I wouldn't see him as one. As why would I see a man as a threat? I am not intimidated by anyone based on their bodybuild. But I can be intimidated by a person based on their behavior. That is how I see it, Mr Cheetah. If you do not give me a reason to be afraid I will not be.
That person acting hostile or crazy will be seen as a threat, regardless of the height.
@insteadfew we all have preferences, not everyone is compatible. If taller women isn't your thing, there are plenty others.
It must be nice to be big enough to be fearless.
I'm just saying, for most people, sexual dimorphism is a thing. And most men would not want to be treated like a little girl. Hell, it'd be better for a little girl or a woman to be treated like a powerful, fully grown man like a soldier or police officer, than it would be for the inverse.
No my size doesn't make me fearless. People just think I am. 😔
And I am just saying that I don't see 5'9 as short.
The thing is that i being a short male am already insecure and feel incomplete man and inferior because of it. . although i do find tall women as more attractive and charming...
But they trigger my insecurity and inferiority complex and also i know they won't like me at all... I am not fit enough for them.. this troubles me more.. also makes me feel emasculated at the same time
Would your insecurity stay even if she liked you back?
But why would she " like" a man who is considered short for a man... and is quite significantly smaller than her?
@insteadfew Because height is not the only thing that a man can bring to the table.
But physical appearance compatibility is one of the important thing in a relationship and height matters... no?
@insteadfew Height is as important as the two people in question deem it to be.
Mostly women and girls don't even want or like a guy who is exactly her height... forget liking a man that's much smaller her
@insteadfew girls who place height that high are shallow and shallow people are a waste of time.
You'd be surprised even girls who are short themselves have a height criteria and want tall around 6 feet men
@insteadfew No, I know they're around, but there are also women who are not that shallow. So don't focus on them. Embrace yourself for who you are and meet women who bet everything on height.
that's not short that's average
Nah. Like anything < 5'5 is short I think.
And how about 5'5 🤣😆🤔🤔🤔🙈
Lol, anything under 5'5.
You mean even 5'5 is short?
🧐🤨
@insteadfew yes?
nope
Let’s see what they have to say
Nope.
its average.
No not at all
No :)
Most women would consider them short
