I'm 6'5" or 6'6" so if anything misc has inflated my ego

TBH if you're not short you wouldn't release the effect. Similar with acne

Sure there are manlets who slay but they would have to make up for it in another way. Good face, body or a lot of status.
Personally I'm glad I'm tall because I genuinely think it's my best feature

lmfao. This girl is a legit 5/10 can't speak a word of english, is a waitress, has an average body.

Honestly I was disgusted TBH.

Average height has been increasing.......

The reason it hasn't died out is 1. Height isnt 100% heritable.

2. Due to things like artificial monogamy women have been banging guys that they normally wouldn't. We're starting to see that play out

I am 36 and people used to always make fun of my height 5'5.. but I always got pretty hot girls and started banging at 15 and was consistent..

I never understood.. tall guys would make fun of height.. then you go back at them and they like "little man complex" then they keep going and you fight them.. whip them.. and they like "oh hes so angry"

Can't win

Height matters, but not really in the misc context, because no rational adult is going to make fun of someone because they're short. I worked with a guy years ago, who was legit 5'4"ish, but in terms of attractiveness he was the best looking guy there by far. He was also confident, and overall a really cool dude so people gravitated towards him. We would go out sometimes, and he would always pull top tier girls, so his height was a complete non issue. If he was 6'2" or 6'3" dude would have been a legit turbo chad. If you're a manlet, with a manlet personality, then you're fuked, just like you would be as a 6'2" wallflower.

I wonder this too. I was also first exposed to it as a miscer a long time ago and back then it didn’t seem like a big deal outside this forum.

Every year it seems to become a more mainstream thing though.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Average height increase has little to nothing to do with reproduction and everything to do with better nutrition and proper health.

Evolution doesn’t work quick enough to tack on 3 inch average over just a couple hundred years. You’re an idiot if you think this is natural selection increasing height

At this point I'm so miscpilled about height that even though I've always loved feeling like a giant and smashing 5'0 womanlets, I've started to consider that wifing a 5'10 womanmore could give me Chad-tier 6'5 sons

So we know women prefer it, and we know height is like 70% heritable yet you don't think it drives height change overtime? you even evolution?

It aint the only factor, but it is a factor for sure.

Just move to south america if its a big deal. Everyone there is like a 4'10" midget.

In all seriousness, id say in the 80s with the rise of WWE in pop culture. Girls wanted the ultra masculine physically dominating male. Actually idk, i made that chit up. Just happy im 6'3"

never thought about it till misc either. I'm 5'9 and apparently that's average height for a male and never thought or felt I was too short. I can see maybe being 5'5 or below but even then ...

Height has always been favoured by women IMO, likely because taller guys are seen as stronger, healthier, dominating up until a certain point. But I think with dating apps and social media women can be a lot more choosier as they hold most of the cards. They no longer have to settle for a 5'6 man when they have plenty of 6'0 men at the swipe of the phone. Of course talking about women who are 6/10+, tour's over for women who are below 3/10.

That being said, I'm 4'10 and I've had so many tall guys adore my height, maybe tall guys should stop liking short girls so that short girls stop thinking they deserve tall guys even if we are short ourselves lol.
That's not the same at all. 1) You can get great looking fake tits in a couple of hours. You can't grow taller. 2) Everyone gets to be a young "prime" age in their lifetime. Manlets don't get to be manmores for 10-15 years in their prime.

The short genes are coming from short women. If short women were just as unphuckable as manlets, everyone would be tall.

i am 5'8" and let me tell you, being 5'8" is actually a great thing. we have beautiful people and we have ugly people. just like any height. I for 1 am a great person, have great friends, and i take care of every one that is in my life and i am glad to do it, and for that i have people that love me around me. also, 5'8" parents are one of the best parents you can have. sometimes they can be really strict, but they will take care of you no matter what, and they will buy you what ever it is that you need. as long as your not a selfish ****head. Also, we all have great jobs, lots of money and a family that we all love and take care off. suck my dick op suck my dick.

I never really heard it talked about until I came here. Too subjective. Tall to me is going to be a wider range than tall to someone else because I'm 5'5". I've dated anywhere from my own height up to 6'5".

Since misc height fukery happened. Started getting really insecure about my height after I started posting here. I don't know if those mean height tweets from those sloots were true, but if they were then fuk em. It would be a HUGE deal if guys started tweeting about not wanting to date fat women.


BUT wait. Get a load of THIS...

Height: Largely determined by genetics. YOU can't CHOOSE it. But it's okay to criticize a male about it.

Weight: Most FAT fuks CHOOSE to be FAT fuks, aside from the ones that actually have a condition. Ex: Thyroid
But criticize some fat whore about it? "Omg you *******!" "Bigot" "Pig".

That dumb fukn double standard runs me hot.
