What's the ideal height for a male?

[GoWebGo]

Hey!

Just asking, I myself just turned 17 and I am 5'10.75" (179.5) but my predicted height is 6'1" (1,85) :)

I've always thought that around 6' is ideal for physically since you don't have to worry about health problems in the future and it's well abovie average height and average is usually between 5'7"-5'9" in most countries.

What do you think? And how tall are you?

[powerwoman]

I'm not sure an "ideal height" really exists-- people come in a lot of different shapes and sizes, and there's nothing wrong with that!
Personally I'd prefer to be a little shorter, myself. I'm about 5'10 which is all fun and games until I have to ride on an airplane or squeeze into a tiny desk for a lecture.

[GoWebGo]

My classmate is 6'5" and he walks like a stick 😂

[Maci_]

I'm 5'3, turned 17 in March. I'm pretty short, but I don't think much about someone's height. If I had to choose, tall people would be preferred. After all, it's hard to find someone, especially a male, shorter than me these days. :p

[GoWebGo]

Men who are legit 6' are hard to find these days!
Most people who say they are 6' are probably about 5'10" lol

[Maci_]

Dang, I can never trust any man who claims to be 6' now, lol! You're lucky to find out that you have a good chance to be 6'1.

[GoWebGo]

Haha, you should bring a scale with you everytime and if man claims he's 6'then measure him and he'll be terrified to know he's only 5'9"! :P

[GoWebGo]

if a*

[Maci_]

That would sure ruin his day! lmaoo

[Allebana]

I'm 5'6" and I usually like guys my height or taller, I'm currently dating a 6'4" guy

[GoWebGo]

Gotta be cool dating a giant! ;)

[Allebana]

haha he's not a giant, I have taller relatives but yes it's nice being able to wear my favorite heels and still look small next to him

[MrAssHat]

hahah he thinks the predicted height means anything lol! ok check it out noone can give u an idea of ur hieght based on anything cept ur parents and jsut because ur dad is tall doesn't mean u will be because guess what mom might be 5'10 and u could be 5'8 .. anyhow the ideal is between 6' and 6'2"

[DizzyAster]

Your height is good.
Young girls are bad at math. lol
They hear 5.11 and hear 5.

5 is a whole number, 5.11 is a fraction/decimal.
5.11 is closer to 6 than 5 is.

lol.

[GoWebGo]

So true haha

[DizzyAster]

One time, I met a chick who said, "I would date anyone under 6ft"
So I said, "So , you wouldn't date a guy who's 5'12"? "
She said, "Hell, no!!"

[GoWebGo]

Hahahahaha omg

[lord_chilled]

lol @ that 5 foot 12 remark. i think its the same for dick size. they will think 8 inches is 10

[GoWebGo]

@lord_chilled 😂😂😂👌👌👌

[Ahmed_Sy15x]

I think +5'6 is ideal since most girls are shorter than 5'7 and most guys are about 5'9
and I'm 5'8-5'9(175cm)

[sodiumfish]

6'1" is a good height. Girls like tall guys but if you get much taller airplane seats are a bitch.

[GoWebGo]

Hahahaha yeah

[Sabinath]

5'10 to 6'1 is the average I think. and I'm 5'7 I think

[GoWebGo]

Lol only a few countries in the world has a taller average than 5'10" :)

[GinaChapis]

To me 5'10" and above because even if I wear heels, I still won't go over them.

[Toad-1]

I see girls giving this answer a lot. Is wearing heels really that important?

[Chrysis]

I prefer guys to be between 6'4'' & 6'8''. (Between 1,90m & 2m)

& I'm 5'8'' (1,72m).

[GoWebGo]

Umm yeah good luck lol

Only 2% of the world are 6'4" and less than 1% are 6'8"...

[Chrysis]

Good thing then I live in Germany, where the average height for a guy is 6'2''. ;)
Haven't had troubles meeting guys that tall in the past, I doubt I will in the future, lol.

[GoWebGo]

Uhm...6'2" is 1,88...
The average height in Germany is 1,80 :)

[GoWebGo]

I can understand that there's no problem meeting all guys but your ideal was giant guys. They might say they're 1,90 but sadly many people are lying about their height by 5 cm or so :)

[Chrysis]

6'2'' is 1,85m.
& the average internet spits out depends on the age range you're looking for. Since we're all getting taller over here, average height is increasing. Especially when I look at guys my age & a couple years younger a LOT of them are a sh*tload taller than me.
& I know when someone is lying. My brother is 1,95m & I reach a little below his shoulders. So when someone tries to tell me they're 1,90m, but I reach their chin, I know they're lying, because 1,90m = I reach their shoulders. :3

But this might also be related to where I live, exactly- I live very close to the Netherlands (40km to the border) which are, in average, the tallest people all over the planet, so there's a lot of their blood mixed in where I live, meaning taller people. & thanks so some other blood in the eastern parts of Germany, they're all a bit smaller over there on average. :3
When I walk through my home town I feel average. When I walk through Berlin I feel like a giant, compared to women. xD

[GoWebGo]

Nope, 6'2" is 187.96 cm to be exact and the average is 1,80 for male in your generation.
In NL the average is measured at 1,83.

The average male in the world is between 168-175 cm.

Lol yeah at 172 you're tall for a woman.

[GoWebGo]

By 1,80 I mean in your country.

[Chrysis]

But that's the thing- not the region where I'm from. I'm average for a woman over here, & most guys over here are at least 1,80m. Sure, there are some smaller than that, but only a few in between.
Your mistake is that you're looking at Germany's overall average which varies quite a lot depending on where exactly you are. The people in Bavaria or in eastern Germany are a lot smaller in average than the people in the west, & the tallest are in the north-western part of Germany. Which is exactly where I live.
So wanting a guy between 1,90m & 2m isn't unlikely here at all, I'd say roughly 20%-30% of the men my age running around where I live fulfil that requirement. Just like at least one third of the women my age running around are taller than me (which is why I don't consider myself 'tall'. Not small, either, but certainly not 'tall').

[nbbn5]

Ma'am you stated that it is a preference but wil it be a deal breaker if the guy is about 6"0-6"3 or you will give him a chance.

[Chrysis]

"Ma'am"... damn, I'm old, lol.

Nah, it's not a deal breaker.

[nbbn5]

sorry i don't know what to call you so i wrote it

[Chrysis]

Lol, it's okay. xD

[Ragdoll18]

I'm 5'4 and still groing, I'm supposed to be around 5'6. I'd say anywhere above 5'10, and no taller than 6'6.

[JCT666]

Lucky you. I think over 6 foot is the ideal height for males. I'm 5'6 which is small for my age, so that's below average height in my country.

[GoWebGo]

5'6" is actually average for a worldwide male :)

[alice55]

Like I'm tall I like the guys to be tall too. Ideal height for me is between 188 cm and 195 cm.

[Anonymous]

I think, based on what I know, it should just work well with your weight.

and I'm a smol purson :I I'm 5"1

[anaaalise]

I'm 5'6 and I prefer anything in between 5'8 and 6'0

[Anonymous]

I think its around 5"11-6"3 but I am 6"2 and some girls find me very tall but some may not ITS JUST ME girls will give better opinions

[Teenage_Curiosity]

I don't think height matters in relationships. As long as you're proportionate you're good bud. 💕👌

[shae_m]

I'm 5'4 any guy as tall or over 5'4 is preferred

[GoWebGo]

Nice!

[BeachGirl123xx]

i like really tall guys like 6'' but you know

[Fk7676]

I am 6'3, happy with it.
6' is fine for males.

[GoWebGo]

True alpha male height you have lol

[ΉOMO_乇尺乇CTU丂]

As long as above 6ft. That's what girls wants

[Bullhorn]

If you have to add the.75 then you are too short.

[GoWebGo]

Yes, I'm not too happy with my own height so you're right.

[lord_chilled]

im just shy of 6'2"
i think 6'3" is perfect
