Have you ever experienced the sore disappointment when you ask a girl out and she rejects you? If this happened more than once, then you should think about the cause behind. ???
Grown up in a moderately sized town in south US, I myself sometimes feel inferior in some occasions.
I am just an ordinary guy, tan skin, 183cm tall, weigh 78kg and got dumped by girlfriends many times.
Why did i get dumped? Its simple. It is because my height is a bit short which makes me unappealing overall to my ex. :'(
Height inferiority complex is a serious problem and its hard to get away with it. In my town, men are mostly above 185cm, there is a large proportion of them being over 188cm or so. While me myself being 183cm is a big deterrent to my confidence. When i see kids in their growth spurts, who stand like a tower in front of me, I felt somewhat ashamed. >:(
Height affected my work, my relationships, my friendships and the respect from my colleagues.
So believe me, height does matter. ](*,)
3 of the girls that i like rejected me because they think i am too short, they say they would only date men who are above 188cm. Colleagues look down at me, and treat me as if i am a "mini-guy" or a hobbit.
This is simply sad. I am in black despair. How about you? :hey:
Some data for reference:
Average white male height in the us ( age of 18 to 40 ) : 184cm :'(
Average white female height in the us (age of 18 to 40) : 168cm :-[
Kids are getting taller. They tower over you, imagine if you are merely 183cm and they all reach 190cm at 18, what would you feel. ;)
Short men cannot give what most women desperately want ---- sense of security and the feeling of being well-protected. Tall women date tall men, while short women date TALL men too since they want taller offspring.
This is natural selection, guys lets grow taller! =D>

Dude I'm asian and I stand at 170cm and I just lost by girlfriend but I never ever feel inferior.

Mager, just where did you get 184 cm as average American male height? I'm 184 cm tall, and am above average height. According to the official statistics (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr010.pdf, Table 10), average white male height among 20-39 year olds is 179 cm. And for white women it's 165.
Yes, height matters - it's one of the key characteristics women look for. Women prefer men about 15-18 cm (6-7 inches) taller than them, in proper kissing position when in heels. There are plenty of women at that height for you. There are other factors, too, like physical attractiveness and attitude. Perhaps those might help.

Maybe you got dumped because you made yourself inferior with such an attitude. If you let you colleagues, friends or girlfriends treat you like a small dwarf, hobbit and inferior being, then you are indeed inferior. It's your choice, man.

my best friend is almost seven feet tall. so hight has never been a real big issue for me, because no matter how tall i got, i'd never catch up to him. i always focused more on good looks and charm. :up:
-
People who I talk to who are tall (especially over the 6' 6" range) always complained about how tall they are. It works both ways.
I am 5' 8" and would love to be closer to 6' 1", but you know what, I deal with it. I play basketball and volleyball, both games with a predominance for height, but I enjoy it whether my check is 5' 10" or 6' 10".
Your outlook is way more important than your height.

Don't talk to him, Merry, don't encourage him.

Ban his #$&*@!.

well guys maybe your right. If one don't feel the inferiority in the first place, one isn't inferior at all.
Glad to hear that the average is indeed 179cm.
I am now happy with 183cm!
-
Make sure you get to 6'2" or above. Anything below 6'2" is a joke. Look at the Taylor guy in twilight, even he is 6'0.

I lived in South America for many years and the average height of men in the country I was in was 160cm (women -- 142cm). I think you'd be a giant there! I'm 188cm and I stood out in every crowd. The locals asked my parents (100% serious), "What do you feed your children to make them grow so tall?!"

:o This thread is one of the most bizarre I've ever come across on all the fora I've ever been on! :lol:

You have got to be kidding me that you actually think - let's call it thinking, for the sake of argument - like this on today's world.

I'm 1,92, which is WAAY taller than most people in Chile (note, I'm not "ethnic" Chilean, I have Dutch ascendence) and I hate it. It's way too tall :/
EDIT: BTW, to all Americans here, your President is in here right now! :)

Do us a favor?

D'oh! Why didn't I ask you for the exact same favor September last year when I had the chance >.<
JK of course
:ninja:

You start to feel average at 188cm and feel tall at 192cm. But a legit tall man would be 195cm. I know a friend who is 195cm barefoot, tall, dark and with a striking appearance. He looks really dashing in every single occasion--- Tall athletic, perfect face like the top model. All girl classmates wanna date him.
-
Uh huh. I feel tall but that's because I am younger so I am happy I guess.
Where are you from?

That's nowhere NEAR true, like, anywhere. Where do you live? The Elementary School Basketball League?

Why did you bring this post back? It has been two weeks and the original poster has already been banned.
Sometimes you've just got to let things go.

And I had closed it with a nice, old-school punchline... :( Well, tough luck for me.
