Hi,

Might be offtopic, but I dont know where else to put that thread. This is a question to the ladies.

For some strange reason, all my friends tell me that I am too small (5 foot 10) I dont believe it, but to be

honest, they make me feel insecure, because they are persistent. They say, being tall makes the man manlier, many woman dont even look at people under 5 11. and my height is simply not enough. I always thought I am good, I am not small but not big either,medium height. Do you agree or is my initial feel right,

that this is garbage. What do you say.

Best regards,

Parkourler

5"10 is doable because you would still be taller than me but no, I do not consider it tall. Tall for a man to me is 6"1 or taller but most men are not that tall, or if so they want short girls who are like 5 ft and that shit is annoying to me because these women are super picky on only wanting to date men 6 ft or more...I'm like bitch you're the size of a 11 year old child, why cant you date a man that is 5"7, 5"8 like you're short, the man will tower over you anyway.

that height list is UNREALISTIC for the U.S., especially the average height for women is 5'3,

and the average height for men is 5'9' ?

so there's actually a lot of shorter people there.

If your friends are serious about that, they're wrong.

5'10 for a man, in North America at least, isn't small, it's about average height.

I'm just under 5'1 so most men are much taller than me. I don't have a height preference. I've dated 5'4 men at the shortest, and 6'4 at the tallest.

The next time your friends say something about your height, look them straight in the eye and say "Why are you so concerned about my height? Are you interested in fucking me or something?"

Because they want optimal domination in the bedroom

this would be 10 pages long by now if dj were around

At least 50 Chad Thundercock references.

Seriously

Are you from sluthate/Puahate/lookism?

This is the only place I've ever seen Chad Thundercock mentioned.

WTF

Another user liked to use the term. Personally I know nothing about these other (I'm guessing) websites you've mentioned. I'm too busy being a sexy intense Scorpio.

The same applies. The taller the partner, the better for domination. Height is the single most fetishized thing.

Short women themselves are aware of it and selfishly use it as an advantage over taller ones.

I know, it's annoying af. Even my parents are an example of this.

For what I am saying it doesnt apply though, if you are 5 ft even a 5"7 man can still pick your ass up lol. It is annoying af and selfish af on these short women. I know one girl who is 4"11 and wont even talk to a guy unless he is 6 ft and then we wonder why there's so many short people roaming around.

Short girls kill me.

Besides, with these new contracts you must provide your son with a chance to play in the NBA and be set for life.

Imo, food at young age has something to do with it. I have average sized parents and both me and my younger brother are between 185 and 190 cm, which is ~6-6.1 feet in 'merican terms.

I guess we were fed well 😄 Those grandma lunches paid off lol. So idk, feed them kids you'll have and a shot at NBA is a legit opportunity!

In Italy is taken to the extremes: you feed them too much they will end up being the ball instead! Now I'm not so sure, despite still making it to the NBA, the average salary for a basketball is as competitive.

5ft 10 is the perfect height for a man

For me

that is your David Bowie, or rather Iman's david bowie..lol

but you like him a lot...sooo..

http://celebheights.com/s/David-Bowie-2389.html

David Bowie's Height

5ft 10in (178 cm)

British singer and actor, best remembered for hits like "Heroes", "Life on Mars", "Space Oddity", "Let's Dance", "Starman", "Changes" and "Ashes to Ashes". In film he had memorable roles in Labyrinth, The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Prestige, The Hunger, The Last Temptation of Christ, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and Basquiat. In a 1967 letter he wrote "I guess I'm 5'10"" and also claimed to be 5ft 10 and a half.

looks like Iman is taller by using her HEELS...but she's actually shorter.

http://www.celebheights.com/s/-Iman-2205.html

Iman's Height

5ft 8.75in (175 cm)

Somalian Model and actress in Star Trek 6. In an online chat with her husband David Bowie she said her height was "5ft 9", in 1987 I read Chicago Tribune calling her "At 5 feet 8 1/2 and 115 pounds" and she herself said "I'm barely five feet nine inches". Her One Management listed her 5ft 10 with vital stats: 34-28-38 and US shoe size 9 although an older modelling card gave her as 5ft 9, Dress size 6-8, Bust/Bra 32, Waist 23, Hips 36, Shoe Size 8

Depends on the culture of the guy.

A lot of Mediterranean men are only around an average of five foot nine and under from what I can gather.

Five foot ten is good and average.

hm cristinao Ronaldo is then one of the few who are super tall for med men there.

he's 6'1 and a half.

It depends on which part of the Mediterraneum you're referring to; men from Croatia/Montenegro/Slovenia are among the tallest, usually top 5.

Well I live in germany, the average height of men is 5"11, so I may not won the gene pool lottery i am solid average, not a model not quasimodo either.. And forget those examples of short celebrities.

They have millions and fame and often good looks. Height matters the least for them.

I have read that you get taller if you are in outer space. I dont know how yet, but maybe there is a business

idea in there. There are many short people out there, who are not content with their height.....

I am pretty pissed now that I allowed them to make me feel insecure, as a ta Taurus man i am supposed to be strong. That was either a prank off them or my friends are a ss holes for trying to make feel bad for myself.

I want to play american football some time in a club, do I need to be taller for that? Just a sportsclub no college, highschool football.

Fucking hell short people annoy me, im 6ft3 and from my perspective its always short ppl saying im so tall and theyre always trying to impose on me and bring me down to their level because of their insecurity, when im a woman I am 7ft and I love the looks that I get being that tall....the reason I can be a 7ft woman and enjoy myself is because I focus on the positives......If I focussed on the fact that its very hard to find clothes that fit me I may not enjoy myself as much..

Did you know there is a website called ali express....it ships clothes from china that cost $ 5 a peice and there is so much selection a fucking xxxxxl jumper is still too small for me, and you can wear everything on that site.......

Asian population makes up 60% of the worlds population we are predominately small so everything is geared towards average sized ppl.....just fucking be happy with what you got, and dont playfootball, youll get concussions and become really dumb

I'm also 5'2" and I've always been attracted to hyper tall men tho I've dated anywhere from the tiny Pisces that was like my height and 100lbs soaking wet to a 6'6" basketball player. I prefer them 5'10" or taller. I like to feel small and protected even if i am a tougher gal.

I do remember wearing platforms on a date and I think I forgot to ask how tall they were or he told me and I forgot , or lied about how tall he was. Because when we met in person I was 2 to 3 inches taller than him with my heels on, but we ate some dessert and played some mini golf after wards. Ackward. So now I have to ask people how tall they are so I know what shoes to wear, and what kind of activities planned too.

I also went on a date with another guy 5 years ago or so, and I was soooo under dressed than the guy was so properly dressed. I felt ackward. So it is important to ask what people are going to do and actually communicate that so I'm not caught off guard. Haha

That's ridiculous. 5foot10 is normal.

I'm 5foot7 and proud of it. I'm taller than many woman and men in my city.

If your really worried about your height don't do so much of lift exercising. You'll get short.

Do yoga it will help, believe me I was 5'3 before I started.

I remember dating someone as tall as me and it was just awkward.

Them legs though!

Hey there @Palerio How are you doing?

Good! I'm just very happy the new single of legend Gunther is out.

How about you? :-)

I'm better now thanks. So what is your preference of height or does that not supposed to matter anymore? Why do you think height is important, personally for me religious beliefs is way more important of compatibility...Do you think something else is altogether though.

Technically it doesn't matter but then I notice my vibe is too cold to attract the tiny type. I'm not that cuddly/touchy, so around 5 '7 is usually the average I date because they seem to be less dependent on me publicly showing affection. I'm getting better though!

In terms religious beliefs I'm quite agnostic so I only need the other person to be open-minded and I'm good.

Anyway I don't mind not being in a relationship so it makes more sense to me, when I go for someone, to look for someone tall who represents a challenge. My Aqua mars needs an extra incentive to get going and I guess latently height is one, despite seemingly not caring at all.

I'm not shallow, I can easily overlook boobs and I like any kind of personality - as long as they have a good sense humour - so I'm like "give me a valid reason" as I need to start from somewhere.

In general, no matter the height, rarity is the biggest turn on. I'm usually interested in people I don't see often on the streets and just shock me in every sense of the word: if not height at least features.
