Man, I always thought I was like 5'10 or 5'11 but today I just measured myself and I'm actually 5'9".... is there any worse feel. I'm finally beginning to understand why no women look at me.
Manlet feels thread I suppose.
>tfw 5'5
at least I'm 5'6 on a good day
generally, my height or anyone else's height doesn't bother me, but sometimes it gets me feeling down.
>>29377375
5'9" here
I'm okay with it
I'm way above average height for my race, so I'm happy with it.
>learned that my faggot cousin (14 now, hasn't had his growth spurt yet) is close to 6'
>his dad's a fucking midget compared to me
That's what actually pissed me off.
>inb4 underage
Nah, 20 m8.
>>29377458
Yeah man the girls on dating sites that go "no one under 6' please!!!! I just can't help it XD"
Just fuckin kill me.
We should buy just slightly higher than normal shoes/boots. I think I'm going to soon.
>>29377375
dude height is overrated, trust me. I'm 6'1", and it has no effect on my life whatsoever. And 5'9" is not short, its perfectly average.
>>29377375
We're all under 6'2", know the manlet feels.
>>29377549
Exactly, buy a pair of boots with a 1 inch+ heel. Most bitches can't tell the difference between someone whose 5'9"/5'10 and someones whose 6 feet.
JUST STOP WITH THIS MEME YOU FUCKING MONGOLOIDS
I'M 6'1" AND I NEVER GOT A SINGLE PUSSY
HEIGHT
DOESN'T
MATTER
YOU FUCKING RETARDS
STOP INVENTING PROBLEMS AND ACKNOWLEDGE REAL ONES
HEIGHT DOESN'T MATTER, IT'S ONLY THE FACE THAT COUNTS, RETARDS
>>29377671
>be ugly and short
>cons: you're ugly and short
>pros:
>be ugly and tall
>cons: you're ugly
>pros: height
Yeah OK
>>29377565
Ah.. I'm not trying to be an asshole by saying this but of course it hasn't had an effect on your life because you a tall guy and haven't gotten a chance to see it's disadvantages.
Height isn't something that makes your life amazing, it's just a big checkbox on most girls' boyfriend spreadsheet not to mention people generally respect you more.
>>29377609
I really want to, but I don't know of any places that sell men's boots that aren't meant for construction workers. Any common stores I could check out here in AZ?
>>29377565
>and it has no effect on my life whatsoever.
Of course it does, but you take it for granted.
>>29377717
>>29377730
Thanks anon, you are helping articulate the point I was trying to make, I'm just shit with words.
>>29377717
That's retarded logic, not that I'd expect anything better from a guy like you who falls for this shit. Just because you have one positive thing doesn't mean you're in the clear. Here's some examples to show you you're wrong:
>be ugly and not mutilated
>cons: you're ugly
>pros not mutilated
>be ugly and not without a leg
>cons: you're ugly
>pros: not without a leg
I can keep going.
>>29377740
Enlighten us all, tell us these life impacts, o great one.
>>29377779
>be ugly and not mutilated
>cons: you're ugly
>pros not mutilated
>be ugly and not without a leg
>cons: you're ugly
>pros: not without a leg
You're listing standard fucking features though you retard. Being 6' is not fucking standard, average male height is 5'9".
>>29377829
Doesn't matter that 6'1" is not standard, it doesn't mean that it will get you pussy. Sure, you're above average at least in that department, but that's not the crucial thing, it's not even that important. All that you need is a good-looking face, period. You can be skinnyfat, short etc, it doesn't matter.
>>29377779
>"Height doesn't matter"
>>Yes it does since all women prefer men who are above 6 ft
>"lol retarded logic because what if you don't have a leg"
I always thought for sure I was 6 foot, even other people would tell me I'm about 6 feet. But I got measured recently and I'm 5'10 1/2 barefoot kek. Oh well, nike air maxes help a lot.
>>29377851
I'm not arguing weather or not you'll fucking "get pussy", I'm not a 12 year old nigger obsessed with female genitalia.
All I'm saying is, why the fuck would you not count your fucking blessings and shut the fuck up? There are people who have both a fugly face and are short, meanwhile you're only fugly. If I had to pick between the two, I'd take the one that doesn't completely fucking screw me over, i.e., being tall.
>>29377375
5'9 here too op
I figure you have to be 5'5 or below to even moan bout your height.
avg female height in the US is 5'4
>>29377851
>it doesn't mean that it will get you pussy.
No-one is saying that if you're 6ft tall every woman will volunteer to be your sex slave you fucking retard. They're saying that being tall is A requirement, not THE ONLY requirement. Clear enough for you?
Give me one good reason why all manlets haven't gone MGTOW yet. Seriously. You constantly experience roastie hypergamy and emotional manipulation as they leave you lonely and abuse you. You should all be going your own way.
>>29377896
The point is that it won't change the quality of life that much. I am sure I do not take my 6'1" for granted, it's only useful in situations when I have to take something that's on a high level. I literally can't think of any other situation it was helpful in. It's fucking useless. It's like having muscles, you don't need as much strength as in the prehistoric ages to survive. Then again, muscles and height aren't the same, as at least you look hot with muscles.
>>29377922
a requirement for what?
>>29377956
>it's only useful in situations when I have to take something that's on a high level.
Or in dating and job opportunities, but hey those are minor parts of life anyway, hardly noticeable.
>>29377984
>dating
Only certain females are drastic about height.
>job opportunities
Let's not get over ourselves now.
>>29378013
>job opportunities
>Let's not get over ourselves now.
He's right though, HR/high position niggers are more likely to hire taller people, with smaller regard to skill set, simply because being taller is perceived as being more confident.
>>29378038
>simply because being taller is perceived as being more confident
Come the fuck on, you believe this bullshit? Someone can be 6'5" for all it matters, if he is not confident (and that can be noticed, trust me), he won't be getting that job. Height can't induce, or hide confidence.
>>29378013
You know what, it's my fault for expecting people to have perspective.
>>29378064
>Height can't induce, or hide confidence.
Do you believe positive reinforcements from your surrounding induces confidence? If not, then what?
>>29378064
I'm not saying that tall people act confident, I'm saying that they're *perceived* as being more confident.
In the mind of hiring person, confidence is king. If you look like you can pull your weight, that's mainly what they look for in an interview. It's been shown that people who are taller are thought of as being confident, even if they aren't acting confident.
So, when faced with the decision between an manlet who's spilling spaghetti and a tall guy spilling spaghetti, the hiring manager is more likely to go with the lanklet.
>>29377937
>Lel look at that manlet he's so butthurt that women don't like him
> oooooh the angry little guy is pissed at the world that's cute ahaha
>Look at that manlet with something that resembles confidence I bet he has napoleon complex
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
It's pretty hard to just 'go your own way' and ignore everything people throw at me when I overhear my own mother saying she's dissapointed that I'm not as tall as she hoped I would be.
>>29378133
>she's dissapointed that I'm not as tall as she hoped I would be
she shoulda married a fucking laker then
>>29378133
What this guy said. Short people can't be confident, they can only have napoleon complex.
>>29377375
You're 5'9 man good lord you'll be fine if you're not ugly. What you need to work on is confidence.
>>29378300
>you'll be fine if you're not ugly
so do lanklets get a pass for being ugly just because they are tall?
6'2" here.
Can positively confirm I don't respect men under 5'11" and actively discriminate against them in my role as hiring manager at my company.
>>29377375
>Man, I always thought I was like 5'10 or 5'11 but today I just measured myself and I'm actually 5'9"
Rofl laddie, same thing happened to me about a year ago. It's literally never come up aside from when mother asks if I've gotten taller every time she visits. I probably have but I don't measure myself since I'm apathetic about it. Feels good to not care desu
>>29378495
And the truth comes out.
I hope hiring managers get fucked over by computers, you nigger. You faggots aren't good for anything, except reading a fucking piece of paper. God I hate HR niggers like you, I hope your ring in hell is right next to Satan's diarrhea spewing anus.
>>29378133
Wow. Your mom's a bitch.

5'6 here. I'm 18 though, that means i can still grow a bit, r-right guise?
>>29378824
if you're lucky. i know a guy who was 6' when i saw him last year, he was 20. he grew an inch or so since then, it blew my fucking mind.
>>29378495
What about people taller then you who are like 6'6?
>>29378824
It's not impossible but I wouldn't recommend getting your hope up, sorry, because it will just disappoint you should it not come true. I'm at your height at 21 and I still pathetically enough experience instances of hope that I'll grow.

that's because you are stupid.
My father is an HR guy and he's a 5'7 manlet, nobody says shit about him. You are a bad professional if you think height matters.
>morning height is 181cm (5'11.3")

>>29377375
People say my height is about average-above average in Canada, but I don't even know. I'm insecure anyway
>>29379628
younger people are getting taller anyway, we are all doomed
Here is an unexaggerated description of the experience of each height.
>6'5" and over
Very tall. Starting to go into freakishly tall territory. Likely to be a little physically awkward. You stick out everywhere you go, which probably makes you feel very self conscious. At this height you'll start seeing some shorter girls are unavailable to you.
>6'4" - 6'0"
Perfect height. You are the male equivalent a women with big tits and women. You experience many privileges which you've received your whole life which you take for granted at this point and so you are unaware of it (little things like girls smiling at you on the bus, automatically command respect everywhere you go, etc.). You get a pass for a lot of behavior shorter people would never get away with. If you lack any success with women, it's your own fault. There is definitely something severely wrong with your personality, you are severely facially disfigured or you just need to get a haircut+shower, and the world will be your oyster.
>5'11-5'9
Just under optimal male height. You will only experience a fraction of the benefits of those in the optimal range, but you're still a respectable height and suffer no negative consequences. Women still consider you 'tall enough' aside from a few very tall girls. You could get away with saying you are 6'0" with shorter girls anyway. Any problem you have with women are because of factors besides height, as the vast majority of women are shorter than you.
>5'8",5'7"
Just under average male height. At this point, you'll start to experience some minor annoyances with regards to your shorter height. You'll start noticing that some women consider you too short, but you still have decent options (most latina/asian girls won't mind at all). Luckily, you don't experience anything much worse than that, as your minor lack of height can be made up for to some extent by working out and having a good career.
You'll never have it as good as the "tall guys", but you'll be ok.
cont.
>>29380135
>5'6", 5'5"
You're short. This is where the negatives really start to sink in. Whenever you head about a girl saying, she's dated short guys, the guy is almost always in this range. Really, this is usually the lowest height some of the more open minded girls are willing to date. You absolutely must excel in a particular way (10/10 face or career) and on top of that have an excellent physique to stand a chance. You have have to work x5 harder than a guy who is 5'9". You will most likely have to settle. You might get lucky with a really short girl, less than 5'0" or something.
>5'4"-5'1"
At this point, you cannot live a normal life. You will never be taken seriously by other men, let alone women. You command as much respect as a 12 year old. Women are openly disgusted by you (https://twitter.com/heightismxposed). Working out is pretty much useless, as you'll just look even weirder with muscle. In nearly everything you do socially, you'll have major difficulty. Career wise, nearly everything is stacked against you -you'll never be able to be a manager unless you are literally the only option or something. From the moment you were born, you never stood a chance. Don't bother wasting time with women.
>5'0" and under
Similar to above but the effects are threefold. People barely see you as human. Your life is a non-stop uphill struggle. You are invisible to women. There is almost nothing you can do other than to become a multimillionaire, but even then, you'll have massive difficulties.
>>29377730
Check out Redwings, specifically Iron Rangers. They add about 1-2", and they're pretty good quality and look nice.

The difference is massively overblown, sure I'd love to be taller, but I think I'll make it.
>>29380171
The description of 5'4 is pretty accurate. I'll kill myself by the time I become I wizard.
>>29380441
Experience. Which part seems inaccurate to you?
>>29380812
nothing just curious, sucks being so close to kinda normal at 5'6" but whatever I'll probably just end up LL anyway
>>29380879
I mean its obviously a disadvantage, but my best friend is like 5'5" and dating his dream girl, just gotta be a quality human. But dont think I still don't feel a lot of sympathy for people of your height regardless, i know its shit.
On the rare occasion I see a fellow short dude on the street, we almost always exchange a nod of solidarity, acknowledging each others struggle.
>>29380573
I'm 5'4" too. Don't kill yourself man, not for a petty reason like women.

Thanks for writing this up anon, very accurate.

Also I agree with all your descriptions.

>>29381625
>first man in space
Astronauts are literally required to be manlets, so it's not an achievment
Anyway somehow don't think any manlets here are going to be astronauts.
Also, Zac Efron is a celebrity.
Girls are disconnected to how tall he is, because very few actually see him in the flesh.
Exhibit A: pic related.
The rest there are all dictators. Case in point, they were bitter manlets who took their inadequacies out on others to make themselves feel better.

Who here /failedthegeneticlottery/ here?
>>29377375
joe pesci is a manlet and he scared the shit out of me in casino and goodfellas
if I was a manlet I'd want to be like his characters
>>29382378
No problem. This is really all common knowledge though.
>>29382391
I'm 5'3" unfortunately. You?
I fucking hate faggots like OP who complain about being 5'10 or 5'9, in my opinion you're more of a manlet if you're like under 5'7, I'm fucking 5'4. I'm 23 years old, and I stand at a whopping 5'4 so don't fucking bitch about being 5'10 or 5'9.
If you're under 5'7 then you have a right to bitch and complain about your height, I frankly try not to give a shit or let it bother me but when I see 5'10 and 5'9 guys bitching about being "short" it just gets on my nerves. You don't fucking know what being short means unless you're under 5'7, like when I stand next to some guys my age they look like giants to me. I see guys that are between 18 and 22 that are like 5'10 or 6'0 and they look like giants to me.
And don't even get me started on the shallow bitches on tinder and shit who put "Only guys 6'0 and up can talk to me" like I get having a height preference but broadcasting it on your profile is a bitch thing to do, it's like me saying "Only girls 5'5 and under can message me and you have to like short guys" it's easier for girls to get away with it though, if a guy does it then girls are just gonna be like "Oh wow he is super short, what a loser" but guys want short girls, girls don't want short guys so it works out for short girls. Actually if anything being a tall girl is more of a social stigma since a lot of guys don't want to date girls taller than them, I certainly don't but that means I'd have to date a girl no taller than 5'5 so I'd have to find a short girl who is into short guys.
I've had plenty of girls find me cute, though I'm a virgin but my height was never really an issue. You can be a manlet and have a cute face and body, some girls go nuts over that shit because I've met some personally. Also I've seen random strangers in public compliment short couples, I remember walking around with a short girl and we were holding hands and a bunch of people were like "Awww you guys are super cute together" because we were both like 5'4 and looked young.
>>29378495
I'm pretty sure this is bait just to upset people on this thread, it's pretty good bait at that since most people will probably believe you.
If it's true then that's kind of sad but it's no different than a white HR manager not hiring niggers or mexicans even if they are qualified for the job.
>>29382708
I'm 6ft 4.
When I was younger I never realised how beneficial being tall was.
Like in the latter stages of high school, it never dawned upon me that being so tall was a legitimate advantage.
High school is such a bubble, it really is world's apart from real life.
When I left high school and went into the real world, I noticed all the benefits, and realised being tall was a huge advantage.
I used to sometimes think being 6ft 4 was too tall, but I actually think it's a great height now.
>>29382798
>I used to sometimes think being 6ft 4 was too tall, but I actually think it's a great height now.
Except when we fly on planes
>>29382819
yeah the leg room aspect sucks, but honestly all the pros severely outweigh the cons.
put it this way, I'd much rather have a girlfriend than have slightly more leg room on flights.
the amount of girls I see who only date 6ft and over is incredible, it's probably 90% of girls who have height requirements now.
>>29382712
Ops a Manlet you're a emo midget
>all these 5"4' and 3' complaining itt
Try being 5"2' at 26.
>>29382798
>6'4"
At least you realise your advantages. Most other tallfags say things like >>29377565 and >>29377671, and just waste away their gift. Just try and help out some manlet bros once in a while if you have any.
>>29382930
Same anon and I've gotten attractive women and I can get more. Don't let height bring you down.
>>29382930
The experience is almost exactly the same dude. See >>29380171. We fight the same battle.
>>29382879
>90% of girls have height requirements
Yeah thats true, and it has a lot to do with how strong their market value is right now, so they can have whatever standards they want really.
But getting into that is for a whole other thread.
>>29382986
Do you have a model face or something? I'm 5'2" too, and I'm 20. I'm the shortest person I know. Do you have any insight/tips?
>>29377375
>tfw 5'7
Grills don't even acknowledge us, I guess that's fate
>>29383068
I could look for a picture but I don't think my face is very attractive. So no, I am not a model. I am 21, I just got lucky in highschool with 2 women. Randomly asked for my number. In University on tinder, I went on a few dates with girls. Now I'm dating a Japanese girl. On tinder I tell women my height and if they don't like it I move on. All the women I've ever gone out with have been around my height or shorter. You have to forget about height, for some its impossible for people like me I don't mind. My best friend in school is 6'3 and he always calls me a manlet. I also turned to dating Japanese since they are shorter and it makes finding a match easier.
5'6" here. I used to fantasise about being a ninja or spy with supreme agility. It's about one of the few jobs where being manlet could be beneficial.
>>29377375
You're still taller than the vast majority of women; what does it really matter?
>>29383178
Good for you man, I'm legitimately impressed. It's also good you are upfront about it, it helps weed out the shitters so you dont even deal with that shit.
I do the same thing on tindr and sometimes get instantly unmatched, its just a part of life.
In my experience as a tall guy, it's the shortest women who are most likely to have a height fetish
Average women prefer a taller guy too, yeah, but they usually don't care whether he's taller by 1 inch or 7 - it's mostly womenlets who have a fetish for the tallest guy possible
So you might be sabotaging yourself by going for very short women, wrongly assuming that they'll be the most receptive to you
>>29383237
We must walk our path, enjoy what there is. We are all brothers in this.
I'm 5'4 and about 115-120lbs
my penis is 5'' long and 4'' around
Why is being short a lose/lose situation?
For every cost there is a gain and vise versa.
I think the obsession with height is a modern phenomenon where the disadvantages of being tall are never noticed, such as the disadvantages of having a big butt or breasts.
How exactly does being taller, increase survivability and what is the cost of this advantage?
>>29383308
>How exactly does being taller, increase survivability
It's been shown to do the opposite actually, we tall guys have a slightly lower life expectancy by a few years
We don't know why yet but a popular theory is just that the heart has to do a lot more work
>>29380135

Where do I find these

>Calling people under a certain height midget
>Not even manlet
So is this a new thing? I thought manlet was any guy who was under like 5'10, but if you're under like 5'7 then I guess you're called a midget now. Also I'm not emo at all, I'm just pointing out that bitching about being 5'9 or 5'10 is retarded when there are people in their 20's and 30's that are only like 5'4 or 5'5 and that's as tall as they'll ever be, and yes I'm aware that's under the average height for a man.
>>29382930
Holy fuck, I thought I was pretty short since I'm 5'4 but if you're 5'2 then I'd be just a couple inches taller than you.
>>29383452
I don't know, guess I got lucky because I thought some of the girls who were interested in me were pretty cute. I like to think I'm somewhat attractive at least a 7 out of 10 realistically, I had a QT short Asian girl date me for a few months and she wasn't fat or anything.
Like some people said if you're short but aren't fat and have a decent face then girls will still give you SOME attention, you just have to have self confidence and also dress nicely plus have good hygiene and what not. Make sure your hair is combed and neat, don't have acne and work on your social skills/personality. Learn how to talk around women and people in general, I mean sure, the girls will notice you are short but if they are short themselves then you usually have a better chance.
That's just me speaking from experience, I usually had girls around my height show more interest in me than taller guys, and some girls even like shorter guys.
I'm 5'4 btw

I am 5'8 but kind of built for my height and weight. Gymnast physique probably closest I can think of. I have had chances to bang but usually pass them for some stupid reason. Point is that height isn't the most important thing. Girls just want someone who is fit. If you are truly skinny and short and ugly though, you are kind of screwed desu

Height is advantageous in male to.male.competition and plays a large role in perceived dominance. It's also very sexually dimoprhic and is the biggest difference between men and women. In most sexually reproducing species, the bigger the difference is between male and female the more varied the mating success of the males, and the less monogamous the species. Basically the bigger the men are compared to women, the more the mating game leads towards alpha takes all. Male seals for example are several times the size of the female and the largest seal fights off the other competitors and wins the right to breed with all the females while all the other male seals sink off into inceldom. In species where the male and female are similar sizes, this is a result of a more monogamous mating practice with less focus on male to male competition and more focus on high investment parenting and child rearing. A lot of birds practice monogamous mating which is why the male and female are so similar. Humans lie in-between these two gradients. As monogamy breaks down, women are going for more dimorphic mates as they are selecting for men that will give them "sexy sons". Those sons will be competing in a polygamous culture where the alpha male takes all so it is best that they are as tall as possible.
