O'farrell Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I live in San Francisco. Last week I was hanging out around Powell st, the Heart of downtown, Union Square, the cable cars, shopping and clothing stores, and the tourists. I specifically looked at couples to see if there was a correlation between height and the attractiveness of the female. Heres what I saw after examining at least 100 couples: The man is ALWAYS taller than the woman. Men between 5'10-6 feet generally had the hottest girls. Men 5'8-5'6 were also dating attractive women, but some were underrating themselves by dating average women. Tall men 6'3 and up were actually with the ugly girls. (maybe intimidation?) Really short men 5'5 and under were usually walking alone. (some exceptions, no hotties) I did see one skinny 5'4-5'5 guy with this 5'9 9/10 blonde chick but that guy had like a perfect male face and sharp blue eyes. The men with the hottest women were the best looking and looked like they got along and were compatible with their girlfriends (same clothing style, same vibe, etc). Height only seemed to be a factor for the guys that were 5'8 and under. These guys were dating some of the lower tier chicks (5's and 6's) but those men weren't too good looking themselves. Good looking guys that were 5'6-5'8 were with good looking girls.The only thing I can conclude is that looks are the single most important factor. There were some taller guys (5'10 and up) who were dating ugly girls too. But again, good looking guys who were relatively young and good looking got the hot chicks. The most notable couple was this Latin couple. I assumed they were millionaires on vacation to America by their accents and by the way they dressed and carried themselves, she had fake boobs and dressed very nice. He was shorter than her, but he was a good looking Latin guy. He was dressed in expensive clothing. They were both obviously high status and good looking. He didn't have a chiseled face or anything and dressed kind of feminine, but its a known fact women don't like the man to be too masculine and macho. I also saw a 7 footer who was walking alone but it was hysterically funny to me watching him walk over everybody. There was also this really hot black haired girl who was with her boyfriend (5'6?) who was checking me out while I was right next to them. I saw her as I was watching the break dancers TURF dance, they were drawing quite a crowd. I also noticed that men around 6 feet were with girls of all heights. And the guys that had jailbait were ghetto turf dancers who dressed with some modern day "swag". They were skinny black dudes who were bending their bodies to the music. SF is a place where all types of people from around the world gather. I saw every type of human in existence. I feel like this paints a clear picture of the importance of looks vs height in men and dating. CLIFFS- Read. Looks matter a lot more.
oaks Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 You think this is the final height thread? You must be new here. Yes, height isn't that important, unless you're short and single and looking for excuses. 1
rocketman122 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Men between 5'10-6 feet generally had the hottest girls. Isnt this contradicting to your post? this height bracket is tall (not tallest) and had the hottest woman. im 6' 1" and never had an issue getting very beautiful woman.
USMCHokie Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Yes, height isn't that important, unless you're short and single and looking for excuses. Or online dating...
Author O'farrell Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 Men between 5'10-6 feet generally had the hottest girls. Isnt this contradicting to your post? this height bracket is tall (not tallest) and had the hottest woman. im 6' 1" and never had an issue getting very beautiful woman. Loveshack won't let me edit. The guys I had in mind when talking about this were good looking as well. People generally date other people similar to them. Attractive people date attractive people. As long as a man is tall enough to look masculine compared to his partner, hes all clear. Taller doesn't have to be 4inches+, if he has more mass on him and hes at least an inch taller, it seems like a perfect fit. These are all observations. Men were always taller but a short 5'7 guy is still taller than an average 5'4 female and a tall 5'6 female. Hell, I remember this girl in high school was 5'7 and liked me. If its a masculinity issue, your attitude, dress style, way you carry yourself, and body MASS could overshadow a couple of inches.
Author O'farrell Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 Didn't say what I meant to say. If your in a great height range (5'10-60 AND goodlooking your going to pull even hotter girls most likely. But I don't think its taller the better, the 6'3+ guys with muscle mass and good looking were dating average girls.
MrCastle Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 But I don't think its taller the better' date=' the 6'3+ guys with muscle mass and good looking were dating average girls.[/quote'] So then your findings proved nothing
Author O'farrell Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 So then your findings proved nothing They prove that dating is not restricted (if then very minimal) by height. It is looks. And by being in one of the most Crowded places West of the Mississippi and having god knows how many examples to look at, it is fair to say that Looks>>>>>> height. And with that conclusion, its fair to say that any other Height Thread should be deleted. Call me the first guy to study this thoroughly and report honest results.
VodkaShots Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 The men with the hottest women were the best looking and looked like they got along and were compatible with their girlfriends (same clothing style' date=' same vibe, etc).[/quote'] You needed to observe 100 couples to work this one out? Everyone knows this, it's common sense. It's a myth that every woman demands a 6'5" man. Most women just want the man to be taller than they are. A 5'7" hunk will have no problems attracting a 5'4" babe. Being over 6'0" is just a preference, not a demand. And no, don't use your experiences on online dating sites to dispute this, people on online dating sites are more picky than they are in the real world since dating sites give the illusion of mass choice and the options to pick and choose features. I.E. ideal height.
Author O'farrell Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 You needed to observe 100 couples to work this one out? Everyone knows this, it's common sense. The masses on the internet don't know that its common sense.
Author O'farrell Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 I don't buy it for a second that the 6'3 muscular good looking guys were with ugly women. In fact, that describes pretty much the only kind of man who benefits from women's sexual "liberation", most womanizers of the 21st century (who womanize more than Lord Byron ever dreamed) have those characteristics and pretty much every womans internet dating profile describes this exact man. Women do not know what they want? Too intimidated by the man's perfectness to approach him, all girls so he ended up with an ugly? Or perhaps Height is simply not that important.
MaxNoob Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 The "flirting for dummies" book tries to explain things optimistically, but even that book acknowledged the importance height. The author surveyed hundreds of women on what they look for in a man, and height was the most common answer. It might have something to do with the time our ancestors started walking on 2 legs; this made it much easier to throw a punch or handle tools, so that human would have a distinct advantage over someone still walking on all 4s. Standing up on 2 legs made them appear taller, hence the preference for height.
rocketman122 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I know that when I was OLD the number one most requested thing by woman was height. if it came down to a simple choice between an average looking tall guy and a good looking short guy, I think the tall guy would win. but depends how tall the woman is that we would ask. tall and muscular getting ugly woman..that doesnt sound right. but 2 woman have told me that im a good height for them and any taller and they would feel awkward and intimidated. it would feel awkward hugging is what they said. well they were short for woman 5.2/5.3 feet. but I prefer shortish woman. I want that par. I want to feel tall and see her snap her neck as she looks up at me HAHA JK. many woman dont know what they want. when I started bodybuilding, the woman told me "no, youre just the right size, dont get any bigger" I got bigger and again "no, youre just the right size, dont get any bigger" and I get bigger and the same thing over and over. they love to be around a big muscular guy and feel protected. they all tell me so. so no matter how big i'll get its never too big. and the bigger you get the hotter the girls you get. there are some woman who dont like muscular/fit guys because they themselves might not be in great shape and feel insecure to be with a guy who looks so good. I intimidate them. Im not looking for a fitness girl. just someone who tries to eat right. I prefer skinny woman but I have gone out with girl with a little tushy. the bigger the cushion the better the pushin haha Edited August 16, 2012 by rocketman122 1
AD1980 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Most women ive come across and in my social circle mostyl friends wives ive all heard talk bout thier preference for taller men and not short Men.. Id say 90% of women in a perfect world are more attracted to tall guys but it doesnt mean all will end up with one or can get a good looking tall guy But as far as preference its a pretty damn universal trait women are attracted to..height is pretty powerful for women for whatever reason..
VodkaShots Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I know that when I was OLD the number one most requested thing by woman was height. if it came down to a simple choice between an average looking tall guy and a good looking short guy, I think the tall guy would win. but depends how tall the woman is that we would ask. Online dating sites aren't really a reliable source of information for most things regarding dating. There's usually thousands of profiles and both men and women get "child in the toy shop" syndrome where they're able to pick and choose so easily what features they want in a prospective partner, so a woman who would ordinarily have no issues dating a short guy she met in the real world would start to demand tall 6'0"+ guys.. reason? Because she can and tall height is a preference (rarely ever a deal breaker). Just like older men who filter their choices to 18-25 or 18-30 many woman dont know what they want. when I started bodybuilding, the woman told me "no, youre just the right size, dont get any bigger" I got bigger and again "no, youre just the right size, dont get any bigger" and I get bigger and the same thing over and over. they love to be around a big muscular guy and feel protected. they all tell me so. so no matter how big i'll get its never too big. and the bigger you get the hotter the girls you get. there are some woman who dont like muscular/fit guys because they themselves might not be in great shape and feel insecure to be with a guy who looks so good. I intimidate them. Im not looking for a fitness girl. just someone who tries to eat right. I prefer skinny woman but I have gone out with girl with a little tushy. the bigger the cushion the better the pushin haha It's because women do genuinely love toned physiques in men. Look at Tom Daley and Zack Efron, they're seen as ideal. The "steroid abuser" look is just OTT, not saying you do look like that, but that's probably what they're afraid of. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4FYxmqEkSV4/UBhQ_982s5I/AAAAAAAAAj0/kSGnpGv46XI/s1600/Tom+Daley+flag.jpg http://bodyfitnessgain.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Zac-Efron3.jpg
silicone Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Looks may be more important than height, but only up to a certain point. Even you saw that men under 5'5" were alone.
Author O'farrell Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 Conclusion: We don't always end up with out ideal mates. And because of this fortunate act of fate, people of all shapes and sizes end up dating. Its like this, girls nice confidence. They like Height. They like Looks. All women will date someone with 2/3 of these qualities.
PJKino Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 You make a few good points here. A lot of women who claim that Venice bodybuilder type looks disgusting would sleep with a guy with that kind of body in a second. Those guys never lack female attention like guys with an average or even slender-athletic build do. Rule #1 about dating women- don't listen to what they say they want. Women lie to be PC, at the end of the despite what women say, they all want a hyper-muscular guy with a very large, exagerrated penis. You'll rarely hear that come out of their mouth, but when you see guys like that they always have women lined up down the block who want ride their baloney pony. Just like women say they arent into pretty boys and the minute one shows them attention they fawn over them I dont know if they say it to be pc or if its a defense mechanism because they assume those type of in demand guys arent attracted to them
MrCastle Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 You know what's interesting? I think we can all agree that most women go for height when it comes to OLD, but has anyone noticed the average height of women online? At least in my search results, the bulk of them are 5'7+... Maybe they feel self conscious about their height and want a taller guy to compensate? 5'7 is tall for a woman. That would explain why shorter guys have much better success in real life? Maybe they are meeting shorter women? Do taller women have trouble finding dates because their pool is smaller if they're looking for taller men? You know what I mean? If you're 5'8 and want a taller guy, you need someone taller than 5'8, if you're 5'2 and want a taller guy, your market is larger. The taller you are as a woman, the smaller your market window, if you're looking for a taller man.
AD1980 Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Great so i can be settled for by some average looking women who couldnt get a tall guy
Author O'farrell Posted August 16, 2012 Author Posted August 16, 2012 Great so i can be settled for by some average looking women who couldnt get a tall guy And the tall guy got settled by a girl that can get a rich guy.
