If you're a tall dude, you've hit the genetic jackpot

Excludingvery rarecases where you have a massively receding chin or something.

But I'm tired of so many incel posts. Fact is, being a man is fantastic. Especially a tall man. If you think women have life on "easy mode", let me just lay out a few reasons why you should be glad you have a d*ck.

-You're automatically respected. I cannot stress this enough. I'm in dental school, and whenever you go to the dentist's for a procedure, for many there's this automatic assumption that the dude is the doctor, and the women are the dental assistants/hygienists. And generally speaking, if you're in a position of authority in ANY field, BOTH men and women will automatically respect what you're saying. If you're a woman, quite a few dudes (and even a few women) won't be as quick to think you're an expert.

-The sky is the limit for attractiveness. Now the average woman is much more physically attractive than the average man, but other than being skinny and putting on makeup, there isn't a ton that women can do to become more attractive. Their attractiveness is (at least initially) almost exclusively determined by their looks. Men? They can get extremely muscular, grow a well-groomed beard, dress well, learn to be confident and charming, make a lot of money, have a prestigious career, or get respected in their community, and every single one of these contributes to their attractiveness. You often see average dudes dating absolute babes. You very rarely see the inverse.

-Physical power. Imagine walking around constantly with the knowledge that at least 50% of the population is physically more powerful than you at any given point. That even an untrained dude is generally much stronger than a trained woman. You'd understandably be fearful in many uncertain situations, such as walking home alone late at night. This also contributes to respect at a primal level, as people respect those who could physically overpower them.

-You age more gracefully. Pretty self-explanatory. Plus a lot of women like older dudes. Plenty of absolute studs that are over 50, can't say the same for women.

-Again, the career thing. There is a very large motive for men to enter prestigious careers, such as medicine/law/dentistry/engineering, because it makes them more valuable and attractive. Most dudes don't care about what the girl they're dating is doing, they care about looks, so a 5/10 female neurosurgeon is probably gonna be worth less on the dating market than a 7/10 accountant. Demoralizing to say the least.

-You're seen as a rock. You're there for the girl to always rely on, as a steadfast and strong warrior that can overcome hardship. It means you can't show emotion as much without losing respect, but it's a privilege to be relied on to such a degree.

-You can have more sex partners and be respected, women quickly lose respect if they sleep with a lot of dudes. You're generally more emotionally stable, due to not bleeding out of your crotch every month.

Now, advantages of being a woman:

-they DO have a much easier time getting dates and casual sex than men. That being said, they're constantly insecure that dudes are just dating them for sex (SO many girls have told me this irl), and most of them hate being pumped and dumped, so it's not the same thing as a dude having his pick of the litter

-There are initiatives to preferentially hire/accept women in certain fields/programs. Goes back to the respect thing, however, so they're not taken as seriously.

-People are generally going to be more available for you, to chat or comfort you or w/e. But the fact is, there's almost always an underlying motive for sex, so again you're not sure how much the dude ACTUALLY cares about you.


Well misc? Be glad you're a guy. Honestly, even if I couldn't have sex for the rest of my life, I STILL think I'd choose being a 6'2 white dude over a woman. The automatic respect and physical power is that important.

6'1 Muscular Mexican with a good career, where's my chicks OP?
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I consider myself quite tall, but I think that having a good looking face that is handsome is better. Fortunately, I am blessed with both.

Yeah bro it's great. But dating girls 'just' because they are pretty still leaves a void if you are looking for more than sexual stimulation. So while its fun, is a nice ego boost, etc..to have a pretty girl stare at your abs flexing while you pound her. After you nut its boring af. Listening to them talk about their friends, or work, or family etc...if you don't even really click with them. And they use guys too to brag to their friends about, to get off, for dinner/drinks, male ejaculate anti-aging cream, etc...

Id take a 6/10 I vibe with, can have a great time with, deep conversations with, is smart, etc..over an 8/10 that's just a pretty face attached to a vagina, anyday.

depends on where you live, but generally anything over 6' is tall IMO

I'm 6'2 and I don't see dudes that are as tall or taller than me that often, and I live in a country where the average height is about 5'11

Unfortunately I've proven you wrong OP. I know I'm a manlet by misc standards (6'1 - 6'2") but IRL I'm taller than most guys I encounter. Yet I'm a FA incel because of terrible aging and baldcel. I think hair + glow > height

Anyone with a functioning brain knows that one average, women have it easier in life. An average looking woman has many orbiters willing to do her favors, but the average looking make is constantly ignored. Only very good looking guys have some benefits.
Men are the disposable sex.
Compare suicide and homelessness rates.

Fkin lol. You are not going to make it.

Being a man is immeasurably better than being a woman, if you disagree you are welcome to start your transition.

Put your emotions to the side, and do your best to think objectively. Biological women are on average living an easier life than biological makes. If you don't see it, you should try talking to your female relatives

Seems true to me tbh. Tons of girls and society in general are super infatuated with height. You can wear anything and people will still think you look good and you'll also never be seen as overcompensating for anything. If you're short everything's the opposite.
