Is 5'8 really that short?
I never used to be self conscious, but it's starting to go that direction for some reason. I don't even know if I'd be happy being 6'0, since that's not really that much taller, practically speaking.
This whole website is full of idiots. You'd have to be a complete moron to take any kind of advice or critique from anyone on here.
ignore the internet memes where not being considered the pinnacle of attractive in every way is suicide-tier
>>28063345
Yes it's pretty short, average height of women in my country is roughly 5ft8-5ft9, while men are roughly 5ft10-11+
You're fine OP. A lot of short girls out there.
Even some tall ones who don't give a shit about height, myself included.
>>28063410
>myself included.
Doesn't really matter what you say, since you browse r9k because you failed at living life on easy mode and probably fat and ugly.
>>28063396
apex kek what country do you live with a men/female height ratio that small? If the men are that short the women should be like 5'4 on average.
>>28063434
I live in a Nordic country, you autistic small nigger. 6ft2 here by the way manlet.
5' 8" is short. Anything below 6' is short. 6' 2" to 6' 5" is ideal.
Nah, most people don't really care or see the difference and even if they did, why dwell on things you have no control of.
>>28063419
Great generalization there buddy.
Height doesn't matter for getting girls. If you want to get pussy, the first step is to leave /r9k/ and never come back. This toxic place will poison your mind as angry failures at life try to drag you down to your level.
>>28063463
Whatever helps you sleep at night, you disgusting hemorrhoid faced looking whore.
>>28063466
>Height doesn't matter for getting girls
umm yes it does, have fun trying to be a male that's about 5ft4.
>>28063345
Outside of 4chan you will live a normal life with 5'8. Of course you wont attract women by your height only but it's not as bad as everyone here says.
> tfw i'm 6' and i am starting to feel short, i feel you op
>>28063345
Bruce Lee 5'8"
Good size to be for agility and acceleration.
Fuck what these 6+ guys say.
>>28063470
Please continue. Your hatred only makes me stronger. It also makes me chuckle at your pathetic existence.
>>28063345
5'8 is short, but not so short that's what ruins your chance of getting a girlfriend. There's still like 20% of all girls who would be with someone your height. If you are forever alone, it can't be your heigth alone, it must be your looks or personality too. Your shortness isn't a proper excuse.
I'm also really short, but I don't worry about it. You will be discrimminated against a little bit perhaps, but it's not like you really notice it. Don't worry, if you weren't bothered by it before then you shouldn't be bothered because that means the discrimmination you face is really unnoticeable.
>>28063410
>some tall ones who don't give a shit about height, myself included
tfw no amazonian gf
>>28063495
>Your hatred only makes me stronger.
Lets hope it makes you lose weight, you disgusting buffalo.
only matters is you're <5'5" or want to be a basketball player, though isiah thomas is short and he's awesome at basketball
>>28063483
I'm 5'6" and it doesn't stop me from getting pussy. But that's because I am not an insecure whiny faggot.
>>28063513
>I'm 5'6" and it doesn't stop me from getting pussy
It's not hard to lie on the internet, you can claim all you want you're still a miserable loser who posts on r9k ;)
>>28063345
Not that short, really
http://www.tallerheels.com/compare-height-tall.html
>>28063504
Ah yes! Another generalization!
I MUST be a fat whore because I browse the internet.
That's a good one. Original comment.
>>28063345
Just get yourself an r9k girl who isn't height obsessed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni0phLc2eXQ
>>28063366
>>28063376
Yeah, I just let these things get the better of me at times. The internet is a rather unfortunate place when it comes to developing or changing your image of the world and yourself.
>>28063396
In my state, it seems that most women and men are of equal height. It's almost cool. 60% of people I see are 5'7 or 5'8 and the rest are taller.
>>28063410
Thanks. I guess I've always been prone to taking statements to heart, but you gave me a lot of hope with that alone.PS: don't pay attention to the bitter people
>>28063485
It does seem like the internet takes issues in the real world, but amplifies them by the tens, blowing them way out of proportion and making them seem far more prominent than they are. I suppose this is no different.
It's just that I've been working jobs for about half a decade that give me 0 interaction with other humans besides the times I browse 4chan or talk to my friends.
>>28063490
It sucks, man. This place is an equal opportunity perception warper.
>>28063535
Keep it up tubby, maybe one day you'll be thin.
>>28063410
>don't worry, I'm sure there's someone out there for you
>hell, even I would date a shorter guy
>stop being so insecure about your height
>oh but I don't want to date a 5'8 male but I'm sure there's lots of girls who don't actually value height at all!
Op what is the purpose of this thread? even if you are ugly as fuck i see people on here lying and giving false compliments, when people are 5ft3, people giving compliments and saying it doesn't matter.
This is the wrong board to ask, and you always only hear what you want to hear and nothing more.
>>28063519
>he said he gets pussy
>he must be lying!
Stay bitter, virgin.
>>28063552
Are you even trying or are you retarded? You sound like an edgy middle schooler. You have no proof as to what the person you replied to even looks like.
>>28063606
Maybe f i keep it up you'll get off your fat ass and start working out, wouldn't want to get a heart attack in a few years time will we?
From now on I'll be calling you oompa loompa.
>>28063547
Or maybe the internet is a platform where people are able to speak honestly because they're anonymous? How about that?
Maybe almost every single girl actually cares a fuckload about height and the size of a man is the first thing that a woman judges a man on and just about every girl dating a shorter guy would say "oh yeah, but he could be a bit taller"
I'm 5'7" in a country with a average that's supposedly 5'10 and constantly my height has been brought up. I see very few females below my height. The averages are dragged down by the older generations. It just gets worse the shorter you get.
>>28063591
Stay a liar, virgin.
>>28063581
I know the inherent credibility of the users of this board. It's just venting of some kind, I suppose.
>>28063563
My ex was 5'6 and i'm 5'9.
I seriously don't give a shit about height and there are plenty of other girls who don't either.
If you actually put yourself out there and left your house you'd see that.
And if you come across a girl who judges you based on your height, she's just a socially-constructed, egotistical bitch who doesn't deserve you anyway.
>>28063636
>im tall
>the fucking cunt is only 5ft9
get the fuck out of it, bitch.
>>28063636
>judging someone's attractiveness based on their height makes someone a socially-constructed, egotistical bitch who doesn't deserve you anyway.
>judging someone's attractiveness based on their physical appearance is O.K.
I'm genuinely tired of idiots.
>>28063617
I'm not even the same person you've been responding to, dumbfuck.
>>28063445
>a Nordic country
>not even saying which one
why
I'm just saying there's probably nowhere where average male/female height is that close.
e.g. Sweden: 5'11 (m), 5'5 (f)
ur ability to measure human height must be shit or sommat m8
>>28063410
How tall are you, mysterious soul?
>>28063663
Wow, not at all surprised some manlet faggot is defending some fat bumkin over the internet.
>>28063672
see
>>28063636
dumb cunt is ONLY 5ft9, this is "considered" tall.
>>28063619
How can you seriously claim to know what girls want in a man when you have never been on a date?
>>28063673
Quick responses tell me you keep refreshing this page to see if you're provoking the right reactions, so I'm going to give you this one last (You) and get on my way.
>>28063687
Not him but i have. And girls do care about height to a certain extent. I have always found they like men taller then them and never shorter unless it's some weird fetish.
>>28063622
And you seriously wonder why you have never been kissed? Really, your angry desperation is so attractive girls won't be able to resist!
>>28063695
Don't worry manlet, maybe someday a fat butch might sit on your shrived up penis you balding 8 balled looking nigger.
>>28063687
How can you have an opinion on anything to do with relationships if you've never dated everyone on earth?
Explain that, atheists
>>28063707
You aren't fooling anyone, you virgin. Lying about fucking girls on r9k out of all places is beyond fucking pathetic.
Act your age.
>>28063685
5'9 is tall for a woman tho. just not for a man
>>28063698
That must be why my 5'9" gf dumped her 6'0" bf to be with me (5'7").
>>28063723
>tall for a women
yeah... not. I was expecting at least 5ft10-6ft. 5ft9 is short as fuck. Get the fuck out of here litrelly one inch taller than the OP.
>>28063733
That must be why i won the muti million dollar lottery, you see how easy it is you autistic child?
>>28063721
This board had always been full of normies. And people who have had sex. If you don't like it, go to wizchan.
>>28063749
Act your age, kid.
>>28063735
It is tall for a woman though, that's a statistical fact. 5'4-5'6 is the average for a white American woman.
>>28063761
No, I don't want to act like a 31 year old. I have to lower my level in order for you spergs to understand.
>>28063619
What can we do about that?
Unfortunately, despite any tribulations we may face, all we can do is try our best and hope for anything, isn't it. Even when I was around early teens, I recall thinking about how looks don't matter in the least. It actually traveled into my future life, too.
I've crushed on, loved and dated people who have been typically considered very ugly.
Along with that, I've loved the incredibly fat or short, etc.
Maybe it could be considered a rarer thing, but there really are people who don't care that much, I think.
>>28063636
This is true.
When you exit your home or maybe a certain line of work to see the world, absolutely everything changes.
>>28063735
Ironically, although I don't see myself as being tall, I do see people who are the same exact height as or slightly taller than me as being really tall for no particular reason.
>>28063791
>It is tall for a woman though
No it's not, i've seen MANY women who were 5ft9.
>>28063796
Whatever little man, take your medication.
>>28063805
does you seeing them preclude them from being tall?
What point are you trying to make?
>>28063646
>>28063685
5'5 is the average height for women in the us.
>>28063657
When did I say judging someone by their physical appearance is ok?
>>28063832
>What point are you trying to make?
You aren't tall, you retarded fuck. Don't call yourself tall when you are ONLY FUCKING 5FT9 Holy shit, you aren't tall or tall in the slightest regardless of your sex.
>>28063838
>5'5 is the average height for women in the us.
gee wizz, i wonder how high the average would go without Mexicans and Asians being measured.
^_^
>>28063838
>When did I say judging someone by their physical appearance is ok?
Do you believe it's not?
Are you absolutely that fucking retarded?
>>28063838
Why are you still here? how about heading to the gym and shedding some pounds you fat blob?
>>28063805
>No it's not, i've seen MANY women who were 5ft9.
So? I've seen many tall people too. Are you really trying to argue with measured facts you fucking idiot?
>>28063848
I'm not even the 5'9'' woman, you're just being a retarded fuck
Is 5'9'' tall for say, a 10 year old kid? obviously, so you'd have to compare to what you'd expect, it's not jsut a number in isolation.
5'9'' is still tall for a woman, equivalent of being like 6'2'' for a guy.

Thanks to media, which every woman is a heavy consumer of, practically anything below 5'10 is short
>b-b-but it's just a 4chan meme! Girls don't really care!

kill yourself, elf. She won't sleep with you.
>>28063345
As long as you have a big dick, You're fine. People here making height a big issue because their dick is small. Do you think it makes sense when height matters more than penis size ?
>some 5ft9 bitch thinking she is tall
laughing here at 6ft1 wow.
>>28063919
1) yeah she will
2) This isn't about defending a person, it's about your stupid standard of what constitutes tall and how you're shit at arguing.
>>28063971
kill yourself you disgusting elf
>>28063976
What's an elf anyway fammo?
>>28064017
look in in the mirror, although you might need a pedestal.
>>28064030
I'm guessing you're saying I'm short but also think I'm a woman?
>>28064051
You're as dumb as a bucket of rocks.
>>28063848
That's the average height for white women in the US.
>>28063854
No, I don't. If we're talking about something that can be changed, like a hairstyle, or weight versus something that cannot be changed like height or facial features.
>>28063863
>you
>>28063919
Oh thanks for speaking on my behalf anon.
Also treating people like shit and coming off as a cynical manchild won't get you laid.
>>28063971
;)
>>28064065
6ft1 here, please go on about how yo think you are tall lmao. dont really care if it's taller than average in the us.
you're short as fuck.
I love when these threads get big and everyone starts arguing.
>>28064086
You might consider vocabulary such as tall, taller and tallest and ponder how it pertains to the situation at hand.
>>28064065
Lose some weight, oompa loompa. Might might your hemorrhoid looking face somewhat fuckable.
>>28064086
Well of course i'm short to you. You're 6'1. Lol.
>>28064114
kek still laughing at the fact that you consider yourself tall, I'd step over you by accident because i didn't see you.
>>28064086
But despite your height you're still a virgin.
>5ft9 men are considered literal manlets
>a women being the hight of a low test male automatically is something crazy and impressive
/double standards/
>>28064122
Overly tall women always so insecure and overcompensate with fake confidence.
Work on it bb.
>>28064139
It's not impressive, it's just a reasonable height to consider 'tall for a woman', same way it would for a young boy.
>>28064139
this, famigliorijonaliaise
>>28064105
Oooh i'm gonna be sleeping like a baby tonight.
Nothing satisfies me more than getting insulted by an edgy internet bully. Keep 'em coming buddy.
>>28064122
You make it sound like you're an entire foot taller than me. You being 2 inches taller is by no means something to brag about lol.
>>28064159
sorry bitch, but double standards at work here.
Why do so many women want tall guys? I'm average height but I don't get it. I wouldn't want to tower over a gf, it would just feel incredibly awkward to me. Someone the same height as me would be ideal.
>>28064172
>claims she is 5ft9
>cant calculate the height difference between 5ft9 and 6ft1
Just how retarded are you? I'm cracking up here.
>>28064176
It's reasonable to have different standards for things which are different.
fist sized is big for a golf ball and small fro a basketball.
>>28064065
>No, I don't. If we're talking about something that can be changed, like a hairstyle, or weight versus something that cannot be changed like height or facial features.
I can't even imagine someone so deluded to actually believe this
You have to be a female.
So if some guy was born with his upper lip missing that wouldn't bother you at all because "lol, he can't change it so I don't find him less attractive". Absolute fucking rubbish
I'm 5'5'', I have to go through hell everyday, would kill (literally) to be 5'8''
>>28064215
It aid it was a female, but it's one that cannot into basic maths so I'm assuming from now on it's a nigger.
Makes sense why she posts on r9k.
>>28064215
OP here.
Literally dated or crushed on people before who had physical deformities of the face and body. Amputees, burn victims, you name it (not for reasons of fetishism. Life just went that direction for me.)
Maybe you were looking for an answer from a female, but you know. I'm the best I can offer.
>>28064215
No, I wouldn't. I actually had a thing for this guy awhile back who was born with a cleft lip. Though he had his upper lip it was still noticeable.
But he was nice and we had a lot in common so it didn't phase me much.
>>28064281
Yeah it was a typo. But it doesn't matter anyway because from now on you'll peg me as a dumbass so I could care less.
>>28064336
>Yeah it was a typo.
Sure it was
You stupid nigger.
>>28064336
hi bebe you disgusting ape
hell... now it's starting to make sense that she is a nigger, the failed math, and the height.. i always see nigger girls being taller than average.
>>28064315
Anyway, I initially posted in regards to your situation but it sort of derailed.
Don't take advice from these cynical man-children. The only life they know is what happens via internet.
There are girls out there who could care less about your height, may take some digging but don't they exist.
Don't lose hope OP. Take care.
>>28064410
Thanks, my friend.
You take care too.
>>28064410
Only if you weren't a nigger ;)
/r9k/ is right about height but the normies don't want to accept it
>HE'S SO TALLL AND HANDSOME AS HELLL
Manlets gotta learn
>>28063636
>And if you come across a girl who judges you based on your height, she's just a socially-constructed, egotistical bitch who doesn't deserve you anyway.
This is what all women are.
>"B-but she's just laughing because he's not confident and has a bad personality"
Women don't even see you as a man most of the time, you might as well castrate yourself.
There's no salvation manlets, especially neet manlets with any personality flaws there is 0 hope for you.
>>28064587
to be fair, he does look like an insecure cuck
also, this seems like it was taken at an event in which she could've been having fun and therefore laughing
>>28064625
Yeah male insecurity is disgusting. If you're insecure as a male you should probably kill yourself.
>>28063345
I don't know why there's always a faggot 'manlet' thread going on,height literally does NOT MATTER on any spectrum. You're getting anxiety about your height? If it wasn't your height it'd probs be your dick followed by weight or face. Only thing that matters is how good you are at talking,which,I understand pretty much comes after feeling comfortable in your own skin,there's the problem.
>>28065013

Fuck I wish was tall and not an almost manlet
>>28063345
5'8" is a perfectly okay height
Ignore all the pathethic faggots here who say otherwise, they're probably fat, lonely and never go outside. You are better off never listening to them.
>>28065135
.t 5ft8 manlet dyel
>>28065135
>they're probably fat, lonely and never go outside.
Why do normie comments all look the same after a while? You just give some worthless opinions and top it off with worthless opinions. Fuck off.
>>28065173
If that's the type of thing that normies say, aka "5'8 is a perfectly okay height. Don't be insecure because some faggots tell you it isn't"
then I think I kinda like normies more than robots
>>28065135
>>28065558
5'8 is okay for a young girl in the west, for a dude - lmao no, you will be the shortest guy in the room 99% of the time unless there is some geriatric guy in there, women will look down on you the moment you walk in, hell most won't even look at you
but if you don't live in the west and you are an indian or some other shitskin from the third world where they don't have anything to eat then yeah 5'8 might be okay
you know that you dont have to be perfect to have a girl want to sleep with you, right? if you cant change it why dwell on it, jesus fucking christ i see these threads on almost every board every day and it makes me wonder how this became such a widespread insecurity. you men are acting like teenage girls wondering if chad likes your hair. get a fucking grip
>>28067687
>"Why do you feel bad? Stop feeling bad, you can't change this." said the man kicking the starving African child
>>28063345
Anything below 6'2" is short for a man.
You can still get girls, but you're never going to be "tall"
>>28063345
I'm 5'8" and I've started to notice most women are as tall or taller than me. And almost every single guy is taller than me. Sometimes I'll see a guy and literally think "he's short" and then I realize he's my height or better. I don't know if it's just a change in my perception or what, but I've never felt shorter than I have this year.
>>28067922
Confirmation bias my man. You're self conscious about your height so the impression of the women at your height or above it sticks with you, while you tend to overlook those shorter. The average female height is between 5'3" and 5'6", and height follows a normal distribution. You're taller than over 50 percent of women, more like 60 something percent at least.
>>28068004
>The average female height is between 5'3" and 5'6"
maybe in some malnourished shitskin country in the third world, or among the 70+ year old women
i live in europe and most of the teenage girls i see are at least 5'7-5'9 and i don't think i have seen a teenage boy that is less than 6' in years, i don't even live in western europe, he is definitely NOT taller than 50% of the women his age
