5'9'' being "too" short to attract a decent girl

[Dismal Science]

anny the answer lies in your own post - only 1/7 of men are over 6' (if that number is true) so obviously some women will be forced to settle in the height department.

And any women that are comparing height requirements for men with weight requirements for women need to have their head examined. One is much more controllable than the other.

When I was 20, I was still 5'7" then, too!

On fifth avenue on Thursday I saw a dude over 6' who had a fat girlfriend. Just to add a competing data point

doesn't matter if one is more controllable. it's still a fair comparison. both are superficial requirements.

Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, Tom Cruise, Joe Pesci, Prince, and Gary Coleman would disagree.

I have news for you. You could be 6'9" and women still won't be dropping their panties for you. Sorry, dude.

Let's see... on my dad's side, my grandma was 5'10", and my grandpa was 5'7"/

My two sisters-in-law are both 6' tall... I'm pretty sure both their husbands are under 5'9".

Then all my bfs were at least 6' tall. I'm 5'4". Stu is 6'3". While I never was particularly pretty, it helped that I was in the South. Lots of those tall Scotch-Irish (aka Viking-related people) down there. Could never go to a parade. Had issues in concerts.

It was so awesome when I moved up to NYC, chock-full of short people - both men and women. The city is right-sized for me! Still plenty of short people upstate.
