  • The average gen z man might be a little bit taller, but really it is our skewed perception towards the top of the hierarchy.

      Maybe. But I'm 6'7, white, and I spent all four years of college sitting in my room playing computer games. But this was 15 years ago, and from what I gather, height has become a lot more of a desirable factor in the past 5-10 years. In 2006-08 I felt like an out of place, lumbering freak when I tried going out the first few weeks of freshman year.

      5'9 or 180cm, I'm tall where I live -5'6 could be the average in here. It's true, being taller than the people who surround you gives you more confidence. But I'm older than most of you guys and can tell you that I've seen short guys more confident than me or other taller guys; it's a compound of many variables, height isn't as crucial for confidence as other stuff: competency is the ultimate form of confidence.

    I'm 5'9". My dad was 5'9". Just about everyone I run into is around 5'9", 5'8", 5'10". It is rare I encounter men that are significantly taller or shorter than I am. We are average. This is the average height of dudes in this country. And it really doesn't matter that much except that the world is becoming more superficial because everyone is terrified of being average, because in today's world being average isn't good enough.
    "I feel like society is becoming more primitive. I feel like we used to value things that are more transcendent."
    Society definitely used to put less value on looks, physical traits. They always mattered, but now they seem to be so important to everyone that they think they *need* to be genetically gifted, looksmaxxed, and mogging everyone else. Other shit used to matter way more. Whether you were good at shit, whether you were a good and virtuous person, how you treated other people. I remember it used to be this big thing in media that there were people whose good looks enabled them to be complete pieces of shit and the moral was essentially to not judge people based on their looks.
    Are people just more naive than in the past? Have we forgotten that the halo effect enables shitty behavior and shallow people?

    26 year old man standing at 5'7 here is my advice:
    - It's not 'over' you just have to accept it, you will be disadvantaged but you can make up for it in other things
    - Finding purpose in something and pursuing that to your fullest will make you more attractive to other women who are in that space i.e. I became very good in the whole architecture, design, fashion etc. space and other girls who are into that kind of thing like that aspect
    - No wife yet but I have had a couple of relationships and online dating hookups (even though that doesn't lead anywhere good) so there is hope
    - Don't look for women in the clubs, 1 it's a waste of time in the first place, 2 it can work but after doing that for years I'd say it's about a 5% success rate

    I’m just under 6ft3 and it’s still hard as fuck out there even as a good looking guy on dating apps. You have to be dialed in with looks, money, status, game, preselection - everything.

      If it gives you a little bit of hope, most people on dating apps are male (around 85% if I am not mistaken), therefore the women will have A LOT of pickings in regards to men, so the hypergamous nature will come out and choose the best guy out of the bunch. In real life might not be great but it'll give you way better results because online, the game is rigged against you. Also, people have a chance to present themselves better in real life.

The most success with women I’ve had is when I’ve worked as a waiter or been in school and preselection/social bonding did the heavy lifting for me. This is since situationally I was the best option. Unfortunately today’s world deprioritizes social gatherings so men are screwed unless they want to work as a nurse/waiter/attend Biology classes.

Coincidentally, this was also the period of time in American history when genocide, forced sterilizations, and deportations of natives, immigrants, and even non-white American born US citizens was at it’s highest. Another interesting observation is that the white population increased consistently year over year starting in 1790 until the late 1950’s, for some reason the growth stopped and began to decline right as the Civil Rights movement started to flourish and the government stepped in to end many of the aforementioned practices.

    As an example, I'm a mixed Hispanic in a wheelchair guy with one darkskin parent and one lightskin parent. I'm lightskinned, but I'm also short. (I come from a country with one of the lowest average heights in the world). I know another person in a wheelchair who is of similar genetic composition to me and he is dark-skinned and tall.

    i know this one senior in our university who seemed to be known by every girl and guy out there. he is like 5'5 with decent looks(i would know cuz im 5'6). i was so suprised to see the amount of attention he was getting from girls even at that hieght. (btw avg girl's height here is like 5'4) but after i talked to him that i realise the guy had such good conversational and social skill, probably the best in uni straight up. like the guy carries every party and event we go to. he has an insane connection of people from all different branches. but truth be told, all the girls who are with him only seem him as a friend, a lot of them even have told him face front that if they had to, thry wont date him cuz of his height. but the guy seems pretty chill with the fact he will always be a shorter guy no matter what. he has beatiful girlfriend and they have been dating for 3 years now. the guy never focused on casul dating anyways. he just went straight to this girl he knew and liked for a while and she said we could see if it works.
    but still, its also true that if the guy was a little taller with the same skillset and connections, the guy would be a fucking champion

    I remember a guy in college told me the he was 5'8. The problem is is that he was an inch shorter than I am and I'm 5'6. He has a girlfriend so I'm not sure if he was insecure or something.

    Important to consider that modern diets (post ww2) give a few inches to what would be normally appropriate for your genetics. (I.e. a 5’6 man today would historically be 5’2 with the same genetics)

    Ex girlfriend always wore heels when I was around her at work before getting together. So we were kind of the same height. As soon as we started dating and she was wearing regular shoes it was obvious I was taller. My point is as soon as she noticed this she said it and I noticed that she was acting different in a good way. Height matters to an extent. I think a lot of chicks just want to look up to a man.

    As an identical twin, I must say you were slightly incorrect about the whole identical twin thing. I have done mewing and mastic gum whereas he (as far as I know) has not. My jawline is noticeably more defined and my chin is more pronounced than his is. I have a noticeably more masculine face than he does. That’s not to say I look significantly better than he does, or that he’s ugly - he’s not. But my point is that you can change your face with your environment.
