Before social media , I rarely ever heard woman have a fixation on tall men (srs)

All the women now seem to be obsessed with men who are 6'3-6'5.

Before social media glorified it I never heard women be this obsessive. Srs.

They weren't so overt with it, but they've always viewed taller fellas as being more desirable. Its not a product of social media.

If it were simply tallness then the 8 ft. 11 would be the hottest dude in the world

Thats how you know its not rooted in anything biological

If you want to ascribe that it has to do with protection or something of the sort.. then again, guys like yao ming or whoever the fuk are the tallest would get all the poosy

Its not simply tallness, partner. Women are after status. Their perception of a man's social status in relation to her own. A tall man will be viewed as being higher in status than a short man. The vast majority of women won't even romantically consider a man who's shorter than they are. Its not the only factor, but its a significant factor. It comes down to their perception of social status.

Which is pretty retarded because there's no shortage of well off short dudes. Heck being tall doesn't really link up with social status unless they're into sports or something.

That's actual 5'11 though which isn't short, most of the people saying they're 5'11 are 5'7 to 5'9 in reality.
Spot on. Hollywood knows best.

Being really tall works if you have the physique & looks of say an Anthony Joshua or Wladimir Klitschko.

Whereas most just look awkward and dorky.

one of my best friends in highschool was 6'5''. He was lanky and uncoordinated. He was a nerd, however he wasnt actually ugly, his face was probably better than he ever realized. He married some girl after college and I think that is the first and only girl he ever banged, now they have 2 kids. He got no pussy in highschool or college. He actually told me before he wish he was shorter because he couldnt blend in with the general population.

Basically he was considered "too tall" or that his tallness didnt overrule his lack of social proof and shyness. You would have to be 7 feet tall these days for the same effect. He would have sloots all over him just for listing 6'5'' on apps these days. I think the priority on height has increased and 6 foot used to always be seen as "tall" but now with apps and a height filter, there are too many guys to look at with 6ft as the minimum so they want 6'3'' as the minimum. Sloots really think 6 ft is the average. Men below 6 ft dont exist to them.

yeah those guys are 240-250lbs and on gear.


my friend was 6'5'' and Im not exactly sure of his weight but 155-165 lbs. a lanky uncoordinated unathletic fuk. He was lucky he could atleast eat whatever he wanted without getting fat or skinny fat.

yeah but lets be real incel, before social media you "rarely even heard" anything about a woman lol
Single delusional women cope on social media by saying chit about they're single because they deserve a tall rich handsome man, just like you incels cope about waiting for a virgin without social media, but she needs to have a career and be willing to be a stay at home mom
irl I've seen so many hot chicks I knew from college get with some ugly dude with no gains, and every one of them was tall.

Why do ya'll care so much what women think? They're kids in adult bodies. They can't make logical decisions. They say one thing then do another. They want a tall man but get pregnant by 5'7 mark.


Literally who cares. You incels can't get laid because you listen to women instead of your own biology.

You're misunderstanding, partner. Being tall itself is viewed as a trait of status. Similar to being good looking or nicely dressed.

Feels good being 6’5” and reasonably athletic. Always wanted to be shorter because I wanted to skate/surf, but my height was a liability in those sports lol

Yeah before it was just the womanlets who would voice their love of manmores and hatred of manlets, they didn't want to have a short family too. Or maybe the tall chicks who wanted to hear heels and not feel insecure.

It's probably a psyop tbh. TPTB want all normie men to off themselves / delete themselves from the genepool. If you get 5'10 dudes thinking they're worthless, they never marry that normie 5'5'' chick and the birth rate just keeps dropping and men just keep checking out of society.

Its always been a thing women say. But it really doesn't mean much out-side of online dating.


Only 3.9% of males in the US are 6'2 or taller. If women stuck to the height standard it would mean less then 4% of women would find a guy to date/marry in that height range. Even if girls are willing to share a guy with like 1-2 other girls. That would still mean less the 12% of women would be able to find a guy to date/marry.





In my experience as a 5'8 brah my height hasn't held me back at all in dating. I have a lot of friends in the 5'6 range and they are all married/with kids. Know a few brahs in the 5'3-5'4 range and they are also married with kids.


If you are a short brah. Its a handicap. But not 'that' big of a deal. Some of the biggest playboys on the planet are just 5'8-5'9. Hugh Hef. Gianluca Vacchi. Johnny Depp. Hell, even 5'8 Ryan Garcia who is just a boxer is known for slaying a ton of IG thots.

It was around, but nothing like today.

I'm a manlet but even I know this is cope. The phrase "tall, dark, and handsome" didn't originate in the social media era. A guy being tall was always a desirable trait. Social media has just made everyone more narcissistic and changed the fact that below average women think they are underselling themselves for dating a guy who isn't 6'2+ just as there's lots of dudes making $50K that don't lift and think they should be dating supermodels/influencers

it existed to a lesser degree, but back then people lived their lives in a relatively small bubble of the people they personally knew and saw regularly. nowadays people's lives are on display for millions of people so there's more demands on putting out the right image.

Ya, that is why most of these women are still dating guys around their height.

It's pure bs and cope from them. They try to make ridiculous standards to make themselves appear like they are God's gift to earth.

There is a reason why they are mentally unstable, divorced, single moms or plain useless women who offer nothing in return.

Its all b/c.

Pregnancy typically holds women back

Now they can have sex for sport. And they have unlimited options

Social media just magnifies their options, and they can facilitate how they want

As much as anybody nails what women want they have the ability to always change it

Women have probably always wanted tall men

But people here are definitely over fixated on it
