6'2", undoubtedly, although anywhere between 6'0" and 6'4" is god tier.

>people will dispute this

>>27415386
what about 6'6"?
>>
>>27415357

5'11-6'4

virtually everything is designed for average-slightly above average height people.

No being a awkward tallfag who sometimes bangs his head on doorways or cant use a shower properly or being a skeleton.

No being a manlet who's shorter than schoolgirls these days.
>>
>>27415357
The taller the better, as long as the rest of your body is in proportion and you have good posture. A 6'7 skeleton with a hunchback is ugly. But a 6'7 built guy will look like a giant and be attractive.
As long as your body is in proportion, you can be as tall as you want and it only gets better. But if you find yourself stooping every time you go through a doorway then your posture will eventually suffer.

>>27415399
Too tall. You'll only look good if you are both good looking and have a fairly muscular frame. Most people I see over 6'5" are scrawny faggots with messed up faces.
>>
>>27415399
That's probably too tall. I think I agree with >>27415386

6' 2" is the ideal height in most countries. It's tall but not tall enough where finding fitting clothes and driving is uncomfortable. It's tall enough that you can date the vast majority of women, even when they are wearing heels. Lastly, it is taller than the average which most women find attractive.

6'6 is too tall, period. You get no more respect or admiration than a 6'2 guy, but you're too tall for pretty much everything. And like I said, 6'6 is normally caused by a genetic abnormality, which leads people around that height to look ugly or deformed.

I would say 5'10, 6'6 is the okay tier and everything below is bad. 5'10 is really considered the minimum height for most women and they tend to dislike dating below the average.

It was slightly exaggerated but it's somewhat true. The average female height is 5'7 and most women like to wear heels of 2 inches. If you're below the average height, you're a nonentity to most women.

Bullshit. I'm a khhv and often see that I'm too tall for women.

>>27415357
6'1'' is the perfect height. I am a little over 6'2" and for some clothes I have to go up a size and hope that they run small. My height is great for getting girls, but being 1 inch shorter wouldn't hurt my chances. Plus I think that being one inch closer to the height of a SO would be more convenient. Not that anyone cares.

In any other country I would be above average. Here almost every girl is taller than me with medium pumps on.

I'd say from 5'11-6'5 is ideal. Under 5'11 and you get towards manlet tier, over 6'5 and you start to become freakosh/lanky. Anywhere in that safezone is not ideal, with probably 6'2 being optimal
>>
I'm 6'2" and while I'm thankful as fuck to not be a manlet it absolutely blows trying to find clothes that fit. it's impossible to find pants with a slim waist and long inseam, everything ends a few inches above my ankles and shirts that fit my body and shoulders are always several inches too short in the sleeves. maybe I just have freakish long limbs, idk

Manlets, how does it feel that a girl will never get wet just looking at you tower above her.

She will never get flustered in your presence.

She will never view you as extremely attractive, you will be always be the guy she settled for.

He's 6'. Another time when I'd forgotten what my height was I asked her how tall I was, and she said "About 5'10". She's 5'5 for reference, so it's obviously not a case of shit spacial perception due to her being much shorter.

Side note: at one point she said that money matters a lot more than height when it comes to getting women.

It's an exceptionally small correlation. Like .1, and a part of it is because taller people have bigger heads with bigger brains. I mean, even at Yao Ming's height, 7'6'' (20 inches or 7 SD above the average), you're only expected to have an average IQ of 110.5, like an East Asian or a dilute Jew.


Also beauty only correlates to intelligence to the degree that symmetry and good proportions translate to good health (which is physiologically holistic). There are other aspects of beauty that are cultural and can't be controlled.

I went to Netherlands. I'm 6'3'' and the average is definitely not 6'3'' even in the countryside. The only place where I felt vaguely average was in a small Montenegran village.
