Sorry op but it is definitely one of those "why you don't know doesn't hurt you" things.

Women don't talk about a short partner's height unless to say "you're perfect the way you are". They tell manners how much they love their height, though.

It' like not having money or a big dink. You can't realistically conceive of the disadvantage that you are at.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

I was around 6'2" at 12 (6'5" now) so I have tons of memories of sloots commenting on how tall I am. I didn't really realize how manlets were perceived by sloots until I joined MISC though.

I can be as picky as I want to be! Don't tell me what to do!

I've never been into heightism or whatever it's called. As long as he's taller than me IDGAF. I also never knew there was so much debate over it until I joined here.

I've heard it on the misc for ages. Some girls I've dated or known in general say they prefer a tall guy but IRL you see short dudes getting women just like anyone else.

I never thought about it til some tinder sloot asked how tall I was, told her 6'-0" (no fraud), she said good, one of my pics made me look short. Took the pic down, put height in bio, and smashed the sloot that asked.

Until social media son
And the Rothschilds started funding media and entertainment campaigns around 2013 2014.

Taylor swift (tall handsome as hell)
Frozen (tall and fair)

Coupled with social media it gets disgustingly nasty everyone starts bragging to each other having unrealistic expectations

I'm 5'10", and have thought about it since probably high school, mostly in comparison to my cousins, who are mostly taller than me by 1-3".

Another thing I noticed before the internet/misc, was that those tall cousins went bald, every last one of them, while I don't even register on the norwood scale with nary a gray.

This actually reminds me of this time a couple years back I was scheming on this sexy bartender. She was a volleyball player and kind of tall. She told her coworker that I was cute, but look too short for her so her coworker asked me how tall I was. Told her 6'1" and she made me stand up to prove it lol. Was wearing timbs so was easily 6'2"+ and 6" taller than the bartender.


Smashed that night.

For me it started when my dad told me that I'll grow up to be 6'2", but ended up being 5'10", lol. Otherwise, it's a non issue. Was always slightly above average at everything, from height to physical abilities. Never been told by anyone that my height is a detriment. Other than on the misc, I guess.

I never thought about it until the misc because no one ever says chit about it IRL. But after finding out that women see you as less of a man if you're short, it has made me insecure about hitting on girls knowing that information. It's really tough to break out of that mentality unless I drink. Ignorance is bliss

It's a social conditioned thing that someone brought up and got momentum behind.


There's no evolutionary advantage to being tall. You're the first to die. You get your ass whooped by the short guy with a low center of gravity, etc. etc.

That's why short guys are still able to get women. Social conditioning can only go so far. If a guy doesn't care about it, neither does anybody else.

Quite a few studies have also linked height with income

Also pretty sure evolutionary psychology has something to say on the topic

Like everything else about redpill or blackpill, it's cope for incels that have no balls.

Fun to joke about, but toxic when people start believing it. The hottest girls I've known have dated dudes under 6'0''.

It's still not a thing to me outside of the extremes. Really tall and really short people stand out in a "holy fuk you're short/tall" kinda way, but that's about it

Height only means something when the man is handsome already. Women will always choose a guy who’s shorter but handsome over a tall average to below average looking guy. I’m 6’3” and my height has literally been a non factor. But also I look like I have cancer due to balding. Such is life tho.
