It's about status and ego. Men under six feet tall are simply considered common/inferior to women. Ordinary and valueless aren't traits women want in men, so "six feet and taller" is the minimum most Western women will be happy with, in men.

And then the WORST thing is, women will say "I don't need a tall guy. He just needs to be 6 to 8 inches taller than me." And she's short herself at 5'6", so... Six feet and up then?
Yeah, I've been rejected far, far, FAR too often for my height, to believe any women when they claim "I don't need a guy to be taller than me." I used to be in a dark place and really truly hate myself because of how many women deemed me "inferior" and unworthy of love for something I had absolutely no control over such as my height. Sorry I'm not a genetically good enough male to be worthy to spend all my money on you and be a simp towards. 🙄
So women claiming "height doesn't matter?" That's just BS some women came up with to use a pathetic excuse to not look as shallow and entitled towards men as they really truly are.

Exactly my guy, feels shitty to know a lot of the women out here be lying about settling for less considering that less than 20% of the male population fit into that criteria, if I get left I’m not messing with no relationships again, taking my 5’9, 5 1/2 inch ass straight to the bank 😎

make money, make muscles, learn game, master frame and you will have success with women
+1 yUm my dad was 5'4 and my husband is 5'7. I'm also 5'4. And because it's simply preference, some women like a tall man like some men like bigger boobs, certain hair color, eye color or whatever else they find attractive on women. They are well in their right to date a tall man if they want the same way men are in their right to date whoever they want to date.

Okay so in that case men have the right to reject a woman if she has small tits, small ass, is fat or anything else. Don't give us crap for it because after all fair is fair. 15% of men are actually tall. If women feel as though rejecting a 5'11 man because he's not 1 inch taller, then we have the right to say to girls if they were 5 - 15 lbs lighter then we would like them too. Its completely absurd either way, but it is what it is.

@TommyWiseau69 I don't concern myself with what women do, only my own actions. This is the confidence that, regardless all these variables you can't change, will maximize your changes of attracting women here in REALITY where we all can't be a young Brad Pitt & must prioritizing working to optimize what we have, rather than complain how unfair life is (p. s. I'm 5'5).
Speaking from experience, a woman is far more attracted to a 5'5 guy with confidence, than a 6'2 guy who whines, complains & cries victim... if you're short, complaining isn't gonna make you more attractive, so focus on working to maximize what you got & on that only if you want to maximize your success cuz you can fantasize the rest of your life you won't get any taller... life's unfair, welcome to it.
+1 yI'm not sure lol. I'm not very tall right now but my personal preference is for a guy to be like 3 0 4 inches taller than me. No one has to be 6 foot.

741 opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic. Just remember that if a woman has 100 preferences for what a man needs to have & be and a man states just 1-2 preferences for a woman he's told that he's toxic, mean, sexists & so on. So the lesson is to ignore what women say & ignore women who send mixed messages too.

I find behavior more of a gritty raw attractant. How men project out to those around them. You can line up a wall of “models” and stick one person in there you connect with on a conversational level and all those other people fade out.

I have to agree because I'm 5'7. I've never been rejected even once in my whole life because of my height. If you're decent looking, charismatic, confident, and fun to be around, the possibilities are endless for me.
I've had very long successful relationships with some very attractive women. This height obsession on G@G seems to be partly an excuse, and partly used as a trolling tool to put others down.
+1 yYeah that's true. I'm 5'4 and women shorter than me reject me. Short women usually want tall guys. I guess they like neck pain.
10 Reply3K opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic. Some men do the same thing, but based of different characteristics. Only 20% of men are that tall, so those women will have a harder time finding a partner.
00 Reply2K opinions shared on Girl's Behavior topic. Because they're entitled to their preferences, just like how a lot of guys will reject women for being too fat or too tall

It’s all good I’m just trying to understand the mentality behind SOME of womens dating preferences and ideal between preference and expectation and make or break requirements, if women had similar questions asked about men I’d probably jump to bias myself, but eventually lead off with honesty
