Wow! I may need to plan for some travel... Meet a nice, tall, local, non-American lady interested in living in the frozen wastes of Canada!

id feel inferior there even at 6;2 lol.

still, most girls want guys that are like 5'10 and above

yep. Women have a standard of wanting taller and men of wanting shorter. Those who dont fit into that group have to do a bit more looking it seems. Thankfully Im 6ft tall and due to my proportions I look atleast 6'3". Heck even next to my dad everyone thinks im inches taller than him, yet hes 1 inch taller than me. Mostly due to him wearing thick shoes and me thin ones though

I'm 5'9.25. Eh. It's whatever. My dad was 5'10, now he's closer to my height due to poorer posture over the years. I can easily be 5'10 with a pair of boots on. Now that I think about it, though, shorter girls do give me more attention. I think it'd be cool to have a girl who's like 5'7 or so, not towering over me, but enough that I don't have to look down at her like she's a kid.

Anyway, do I consider myself attractive? Well. I'm perfectionisty, so no. I'm 17% bodyfat, so I think I'm fat. To normal people, it's not really fat, but to me it is. I'm also larger framed, but I don't like that either and wish I was smaller. But I also like being strong. Also, I have big giant legs and a big butt (which I used to be a lot more insecure about, but found out girls actually love it,) and a not as huge upper body. Like my first time ever squatting I managed to parallel squat 225, then my first time benching I could barely do 95. Also, my main athletic hobby is figure skating, and there's not too many like, larger framed/muscular figure skaters. I'm gonna have to be single digit bodyfat before I even hit a 25 BMI, but most figure skaters sit at 21-23. I'd like to be around 170lbs or so at 10% bodyfat or less. Currently 189 at 17% bodyfat.

Supposedly I look good. I didn't think so until recently. I also used to be fat, too. I was 230lbs at 5'9 at one point. That was unfun. Even while fat I probably wasn't "bad" looking, but I was probably 5/10 or so. Now from what people tell me I'm probably 8+, and I guess I can accept that without being incredibly prideful, it's a gift I guess. Looking at things, I'm probably ridiculously more socially awkward than the average person, so being good looking kinda covers over the sins of social awkwardness somewhat. Oddly, one remarkable feature about me is people think I pluck my eyebrows. I've always had perfect eyebrows, all I do is once a month or so I shave my unibrow fuzz, and that's all. I get a little acne, but usually it's caused by diet and I can easily get it under control.

I kinda wish I was Asian, too. But being white is fairly OK. But I do wish I was Asian. Hopefully my kids turn out to be beautiful Asian/white hybrids that will be able to conquer the world. I probably do got decent genes, really. My dad had a Chinese girlfriend who wanted him to get her pregnant because "You make beautiful children!" Yay.

i ought to kill myself already

Thinking back over the guys I have been liked, it makes me wonder how much the height factor is subconscious.
I wonder how many women actually consciously know they are judging by height and how many just do it subconsciously without thinking about it? Same for guys?

I'm tiny at 5 ft and therefore everyone is bigger than me, but every guy I have liked has been between 5'10 and 6'4.
It doesn't really make much sense since technically if your theory is correct, anyone a few inches taller would qualify - so there's no need for them to be that tall.

its another moment of the more the merrier

huh.

In that case, my money is on subconscious.

mines on subcoscious mostly with a touch of conscious. Most girls seem to like guys in the range you mentioned. I knew a couple in highschool where she was 4'7" and he was 6'10".

I'm 5'6 =O. Although I already got over it, all my girlfriends have been roughly just as tall as me, and they didn't seem to care much about it. And more often than not girls are smaller, so it's no big issue.

Reminds me of the time where I had to hang up something and couldn't reach it, and a girl at the university offered to do it for me. She did it effortlessly. What a nice gal

Well average height for Colombia is 5'7 - so you're normal height.
At least people help you, people just enjoy watching me struggle.
