I have a question to you r9k. As a 6"2 male, why does females like tall guys...

Just the height difference? That's kinda weird but ok

I dont find anything physical as being odd. A girl says she likes a guy taller than her isnt much different than a guy saying he wants a big ass or little waist or a certain boobs size. I get that it gets annoying when a person says I wont date anyone unless they have x, y and z. But that's just that single persons preference. It shouldnt upset anyone

you have a point there mate x2

I really like the size difference. I'm not very lithe (I always worked out tons so I'm very muscular for a woman) and I always felt unfeminine and bad about my body. I'm also relatively tall for a girl. I don't mind guys my height either, but when I'm with a guy who is big (think 6'3, 200 lbs) I feel small and cute instead of feeling like a man in a cute dress. When I'm with a guy who is my height and lighter than me I constantly think about it and feel bad about it.

Most women look at a 5'10 guy and think he's 6'2. They have no real height perception.

It is simple evolutionary advantage. Tallness in men is a sign of generally good genes.

So if a guy said 5'11, you'd really turn him down? Seems incredibly silly to have a hard cap like that.

Basically insecure women are attracted to tall men.

>6'2
>have a dream of gf higher than me
You know jack shit about suffeering. All the tall qties are taken by 2m chads

>But that's just that single persons preference.
If only.

Same for D size. It's not like we can eye mere inches in a guy.

Even when women say they have some hard cap, we can all fall for a guy for other reasons. Nothing is going to stop you if you connect with a guy really well.

>Same for D size
>tfw I guessed to the decimals with my boyfriend

I think that's the fallacy men fall into.though. if you have 1 or 2 girls (and I mean in person not the thousands of tweets and tinder profiles that show women you know nothing about) tell you that they want a 6ft guy then you assume that's some how all women's secret desire and you dont measure up. And that's just not realistic

We didn't ask what gay males think.

You ARE a man in a cute dress.

Not all but the overwhelming majority of girls want a guy taller than them.

I wanna wear those shoes

r9k is full of women, stop pretending you don't know that, faggot.

you can literally buy them

That in not sure of. All my friends are short (I'm tallest at 5ft3) so finding guys taller than us is simple. They all are. The exception being my one friend who's ex-husband was 5ft even and she is the same height as him

Yes, the vast majority of women want guys taller than them.
A lot are okay with a guy the same height. A few are okay with a guy smaller than them.

Generally speaking, the overwhelming role of men & women for millions of years has been that men dominate and women are dominated.

The taller a man is, the more muscle mass he can have in a paleolithic environment. The more muscle mass he has, the more capable he is of working, providing, and surviving in a paleolithic environment.

When this occurs across hundreds of thousands of successive generations, where the innate (genetic) "sexual strategy" that is most compatible with reality produces the most offspring, eventually the only surviving humans are born following that sexual strategy.

Rinse & repeat for subsets and supersets of the same sexual strategy across millions of years and you end up with a world where women get soaking wet for big, strong men.

That doesn't prove me wrong.

I wasn't talking about beeing okay with same height or shorter. It was about preference.
Almost no girl has a preference for short men, especially if they're shorter than them.

>Almost no girl has a preference for short men, especially if they're shorter than them.
A lot of girls don't have any preference beside "taller than me". A lot of girls don't have any preference.
Around 2% of girls have a strict preference for guys shorter than them.

not to mention that taller cave men have an advantage in fighting shorter cave men as the're punching down rather than up and taller men have an easier time raping cave women and therefore an easier time spreading their genes

No but it gives you some more data. I'm not trying to sway opinions.

Wrong, almost 80% of women want a man above average height.
>Around 2% of girls have a strict preference for guys shorter than them.
It's less than that, for sure.

I got my numbers from peer reviewed, published research.
You're quoting a buzzfeed video.

>where the innate (genetic) "sexual strategy" that is most compatible with reality produces the most offspring

This isn't always true, pic related.

Post it.

1 in 50 seems reasonable. I don't think you've known enough people intimately enough to know whether or not that's true.

> Forty-nine percent of women only wanted to date men who were taller than they were, whereas only 13.5 percent of men only wanted to date women shorter than they were. By contrast, only 1.7 percent of women said they would only date a shorter man.

I cant believe they do a study on this lol. What do they expect to use this information for?

You are a basement-dwelling incel who has never spoken to a girl, stop making shit up.

it was rigorously true for a very, very long time, across the span of the existence of the genus homo, up until the late paleolithic / the approximate rise of the homo sapien.

simply because, there was 1 fitness function: strength & survival. it's why you never see these deviations in other species of great ape. there are simply no means among other great ape populations to usurp the status of an alpha male.

now we live in a world with a multitude of fitness functions, and for biodiversity to drift all across the spectrum. you can be a pasty whiteboy and shoot Chad with a .45. you can be a female domme and live a perfectly prosperous and safe life.

it's why my caveat was, "in a paleolithic environment".

Win internet arguments, I suppose.

Taller men have less mobility and are at a disadvantage in any fight. That is why men of average current height breed. Most tall men are virgins for a reason.

>That is why men of average current height breed
No, it isn't. Women don't select their partner based off "oh he's going to be a great fighter".

A man of average height tends to have a better body and a better face than a very tall man.
If you're very tall with a great body and a great face, you're going to get laid more than a guy who is average height with the same features. But it's unlikely that it happens.

If you are one of the very few tall men with a great body and face you will get laid about the same as a guy of any other height with good looks and body.

Honestly not true. Height is an attractive trait for men.

>for men
Yes, for men. Tall muscular guys attract gay men, not women.

Why do we sit around and make threads about what women like when regardless of what we look like, we wont have the balls to seal to them?

I don't know why you want to make it seem like tall, muscular men with a good face would somehow be ugly to women.
i know two men who fit the bill, and one of them fucks a different girl every other night, the other has girls hitting on him all the time despite him being autistic.
You can be hot at any height, but being a tall man is hot.

>Yes, for men. Tall muscular guys attract gay men, not women.
lmao what world are you living in, your basement

Holy shit that's tiny

Found the bitter virgin lanklet in denial.

Youd never guess why they got divorced I bet

Girls don't like muscle. If that guy is getting lots of girls it must be because he is rich.

He's a barman, when I met him he lived in a van.
He's not super muscular, he's lean and fit.

Because he was cheating on her?

Not just cheating. She came home early and found him with two women in bed.

She was going to forgive him once then one girl text her and was apologizing on his behalf but it was clear that he was using her phone, so he was with the women again!

Yeah she dropped him like a rock

I'm 6ft 2 and even if I got enough matches on tinder I would gladly shoot them down for a "be over 6ft" bio

May reinstall it just for that reason later. Nothing else going on

My example went extinct thousands of years ago.

I could access the first article. The other two articles don't seem to support your argument.

>We also replicated the finding of a male-taller norm (Figure 2), as men were more frequently taller than their partner than expected by chance. We extended this finding by showing that couples in which the man is much shorter than the woman are relatively less likely to occur than couples in which the man is only slightly shorter than the woman. Thus, when the male-taller norm is violated, it is mostly violated only slightly

Damn. How can you manage two women? I have only been able to do it with prostitutes.

The same reason you don't want a fat girl. Being tall is an innately attractive attribute. It's as simple as it gets

My argument was never that women don't have a preference for men taller than them, or that being extremely short isn't a disadvantage.

It was that
>there are women who have a preference for men shorter than them
>most women only want a man taller than them
>a lot of women are okay with dating men shorter than them
Which those articles all prove.

>there are women who have a preference for men shorter than them
I didn't find this in the articles I had access to but I never believed that they don't exist at all. Just that they are extremely rare.

>most women only want a man taller than them
Most want one that is taller than average.

>a lot of women are okay with dating men shorter than them
Some are okay with dating men shorter than them, if they can compensate for it.

I have no idea. To be honest I thought he was gay. When she said that he cheated I fully expected her to say it was a man.

>I didn't find this in the articles I had access to but I never believed that they don't exist at all. Just that they are extremely rare.
I linked you the extract of the article because it's behind pay wall. It's around 2%.

>Most want one that is taller than average.
They don't, there's no proof.

>Some are okay with dating men shorter than them, if they can compensate for it.
What does it even mean? They're okay with dating men shorter than them if they like them.

The articles posted literally prove you false. Why are you desperate about height?

Just settle this like men. Which one of your are taller? That's the winner

Winner of what? The permavirgin trophy?

No, the argument silly.

But the winner of the argument gets the perma-virgin award

>I linked you the extract of the article because it's behind pay wall. It's around 2%.
I didn't find that quote in either article, where is it?

>They don't, there's no proof.
I've seen some studies and articles about this before but I didn't save them. Anyway your study doesn't refute the idea.

>What does it even mean? They're okay with dating men shorter than them if they like them.
It means that those men have qualities that exceed the taller men, for example have more money. I also repeat myself I wasn't talking about beeing merely okay with short men, I was talking about a preference for them.

How does the article prove me wrong?

>I didn't find that quote in either article, where is it?
I literally gave you the extract in the greentext.

>I've seen some studies and articles about this before but I didn't save them.
"M-my cousin told me once that women like taller men, he's a scientist"

>I also repeat myself I wasn't talking about beeing merely okay with short men, I was talking about a preference for them.
There are women who have a preference for men shorter than them.
Most women only have a preference for men taller than them, their preference fit men who are short compared to average men height (a man taller than an average woman is still a short man). Sure, being very tall is a preference for some women (more than women who only want to date very short men) but it's not something 80% of women want.

>Studies prove me wrong but I refuse to believe them because it hurts my feefees

>I literally gave you the extract in the greentext.
I want to see the whole article, it's too easy to post something out of context.
Let's just assume that you're right and about 1.7% of women have a preference for men shorter than them, that would be about 64 million women. So where is such a large community?

>Most women only have a preference for men taller than them, their preference fit men who are short compared to average men height
Your article only states that a more than 17% difference in height is starting to negatively affect dating aswell.

>In a sample of undergraduates selecting dates, the largest reported acceptable height difference for both sexes was the male being 17% taller than the female

In a 160cm tall women that would still mean a 187cm tall man, which is definitely above average.

>bitter lanklet virgin continues to deny reality

>I want to see the whole article, it's too easy to post something out of context.
Then pay money to look at it, I don't know what to tell you.

>So where is such a large community?
Dating men shorter than them and not making a huge deal about it. Do you think they meet up on Wednesday nights or something?

>In a 160cm tall women that would still mean a 187cm tall man, which is definitely above average.
That's the maximum height an average woman would go for. Not what she prefers.
It means that her preferred height is around average, not above average.

I'm 6'1 and I like short guys. It's cute. I'd love being the big spoon.

GET THE FUCK OFF MY FUCKING BOARD GOD FUCKING DAMN AAAAAAAAAAA

Weight, bra size, and are you on the east coast?

>Then pay money to look at it, I don't know what to tell you.
I don't care enough to spent money on this topic which is why I gave you a concession on this.

>Dating men shorter than them and not making a huge deal about it. Do you think they meet up on Wednesday nights or something?
No, but for example they should have a digital footprint that represents that number.

>That's the maximum height an average woman would go for. Not what she prefers.
The article doesn't specify so it doesn't tell us what is the ideal difference for women, just that isn't above 17% of height difference for the average women.

>they should have a digital footprint that represents that number.
They do. The article is (also) based off people who wrote personal ads about wanting guys smaller than them.
It's very common in BDSM communities for women to want men smaller than them.

>The article doesn't specify so it doesn't tell us what is the ideal difference for women, just that isn't above 17% of height difference for the average women.
The tallest height is one standard more than the average height.
I'd assume that the ideal height falls around average.

>The article is (also) based off people who wrote personal ads about wanting guys smaller than them.
Post one that is serious.

>It's very common in BDSM communities for women to want men smaller than them.
Most of the time female dommes want money first and foremost and even then they are rare to begin with but that's another can of worms.

It's a little silly that you will deny scientific data just because it counteracts your insecurities.
Just get over it.

How did I deny scientific data?

Not acknowledge the fact that there's a percentage of the female population that wants women smaller than them, that there's no proof that the vast majority of women has a strong preference for men taller than average (even when average women appear to want men at most one standard deviation taller than average at most, and there's no proof that they prefer them over average men).

>Not acknowledge the fact that there's a percentage of the female population that wants women smaller than them
Wrong. I just don't have access to the article.
Obviously there will be some women who prefer men shorter than them, I've been saying that from the beginning.

>Almost no girl has a preference for short men, especially if they're shorter than them.
Almost is still some %.
I also hope that was just a typo and you mean men smaller than them.

>that there's no proof that the vast majority of women has a strong preference for men taller than average (even when average women appear to want men at most one standard deviation taller than average at most, and there's no proof that they prefer them over average men).
There is no proof to the contrary in your article either.

>I just don't have access to the article.
Again, the article is there. You can buy it.
I told you what it says.
And this is just women who prefer men shorter than them, not women who prefer short men (short meaning shorter than average, so < 5'8).

>There is no proof to the contrary in your article either.
There's proof that women don't like very tall men. They like men 1 standard deviation taller than average at most.

I'm 5'11 and the average here is 6'.
A bunch of girls multiple times thought that I was way taller (people always guess around 186-189 to be specific, which is from 6'1 to 6'2) and that's because people from other countries inflate their height.
Also, most guys online aren't as tall as they claim to be. I want you to know that much.
I'm 5'11 and 3/4ths (182cm) barefoot. My dad was 2 meters (6'7) however, so I inherited a big frame and a much deeper voice.

I'm not gonna buy it to win a argument on r9k and you can't expect me to.

>There's proof that women don't like very tall men. They like men 1 standard deviation taller than average at most.
According to the article a 170cm tall women, which is only slightly above average (~167cm) in my country, is perfectly fine or even prefers a up to 199cm tall man.
Which means they do like very tall men, just not excessively tall ones.

Except it isn't a single preference, most women want a man that is at least as tall as her. As a 5'3 male, this reduces my "dating pool" as most women shorter than me are already taken - a lot of the time by a man who is 6'+.

Attached: 1545816385702.jpg (540x405, 233K)

the hottest girls are often insecure!

Average in the US is 162 cm, she will like at most a 190 cm male (which is 1 SD taller than average). So women like at most men 1 SD taller than average.

Is it all cuz they're taller? I mean most me are 6ft or more. Most women here go after the guy they fancy and their height is irrelevant.

There are propably still more women who want someone even taller than that than women who want a men their height or shorter.

Your wishful thinking is amazing. Lanklet virgin cope.
