It matters for two reasons. First remember that many girls are over 5'9". The majority of those girls are not going to date you. That means that your dating pool has immediately shrunk by let's say 20%. Why is that a big deal? Well guys have more trouble finding girls than girls have finding guys. Historically 80% of women reproduce versus 40% of men, so having your dating pool reduced by 20% is equivalent, for a man, to a 40% reduction. That's huge. Women, imagine trying to fate in a world where there was almost 2 girls for every guy.

Yes height matters and lol at you thinking girls would actually want casual sex with you at 5'9. They might eventually pick you as a boyfriend and cheat on you behind your bak, but the ideal height women want is 6'2.

Girls reaction when you tell them you are around 6'2.

I would have to lie if I said I didn't care about height. I'm 5'10" so being with someone who's only 5'5" or so would really make me feel way too masculine for my taste and in addition to that it would probably give me back pain from the constant bowing down whenever I wanted to kiss them.
If they're 5'8" or taller I literally couldn't care less, though I'm more careful with shorter or equally tall guys now as I've already been rejected for being "too tall" by an equally tall guy and it was horrible..
No it does not. I'm 5'9" and I still think that's a good height for guy. I would not consider that to be short. Where I'm from big height differences are not so common, especially for the under 35.
My dad is 6'4", being that tall is awkward as fuck as the world is not really accommodating for anyone over 6'2".
5'9" is a great height in my opinion. Yeah tallness can be sexy but so can a lot of various traits, you don't need every conceivable attractive trait there is to be attractive.
I'm only 5'2", I think 5'9" is in my ideal range. And my girl friends seem to agree even my friend who is 5'8" is content with it.

Well... I don't think height is THAT important. I'm 5'7", and I haven't really been told by anyone that I'm 'short'.
I don't know if this would be a problem with women, because I haven't dated in over 5 years. My exes didn't have an issue with my height, though.Some girls are only willing to consider dating someone if the guy is over 6'0", but those girls are not worth dating anyways.
I dont understand the question.
I am 6' 3". My ex wife was 5' 10". I consider her tall for a woman but just right for me.
I have dated from 5' 1" to 5' 10" since I started dating. In the future I will stick with at least 5' 5" on up to 6'. I don't want a woman as tall as I am.There are a lot of women who swear by the 6' threshold, especially taller girls. Every guy below 6' might as well be dead to them.
Well i'm 5'5 and in the upper echelons of attractiveness, compared to most men who exist within the peon classes. When you have looks like mine, failing to pull women is not an improbability, but rather an impossibility.
Really depends on your demographic. Some communities, 5'10 is tall for a man, some it's legitimately short. Average dutch man is 6'1" for instance. -average-.
Looking at, for example, okcupid data, you're right. Over 5'10" height doesn't matter that much. For some women it probably matters a lot, but generally speaking a guy over that height is taller than the large majority of women, so it's no longer a major factor.Having spoken to a lot of girls about this, yes it does matter. Majority of the time a girl just wants a guy taller than her. So at 5'9 for the most part you're good. But height is generally a factor for most women. How big is dependant on the girl.
My step sister is 6' tall. I am 5, 2". I do not envy her at all. She has all kinds of problems due to her height. I already have Cerebral Palsy, and Fibromyalgia. That is hard enough already.
I'm 5'5 and I've had sex with a girl taller than me and I've literally said no to girls taller than me before. I've also had girls much taller than me want me.
5 9'' is a very good height for a guy.. it is nowhere short..
I'm just over 5'9, I frequently get told I'm tall by women. Really I'm just average height, but since I'm taller than the average woman I'm "tall." I'd say over 5'9 it's whatever.
I think 5'10" is the perfect height. I think if you're 5'8" + you have little to worry about.
5'7 here. Never had a problem finding girls who don't give a shit.
Whenever I see a guy complaining about being short I just sit there like -_-
BECAUSE IM 5'2For the most part, height is a very small factor in the overall "attraction pie" for women.
Well, I am 5'9" so 5'11" is the minimum height I will accept in a date.
The attractiveness-value of height hits diminishing returns after about 6' I'd say
You make a lot of sense there, I agree and from what I've read 5'9" is average height for a man and I look about right in pictures too at 5'10" but only feel short when I'm around a bunch of tall people 😊
i am fine with any height, even shorter than me. it really doesn't matter.
At 6'2" it matters for me because I like short girls. A foot+ height differential is HAWT.
