Remember everyone, its not about how rich, fast, tall, strong or handsome you are its whats on the inside that counts.

Oh and poohead youre 5'10-5'11 thats pretty tall where I'm from, just because some girls expect 6' to be the average doesnt make it true, hold your head up high.

EDIT: The tom cruise arguement is kinda stupid, hes rich and famous with 25 years of A-list starring roles, of course women are going to overlook his height. I hear the same arguement for gingers because of Ed Sheeran. Yes being ginger (male) isnt a death sentence if you happen to be a record breaking international music star too. I wish we would stop using celebs as examples for the average person, they quite literally embody the exception to the rule.

@The Harbinger of Ferocity Yes its one of many factors that may lead to superior fighting ability but like I said most random assualts are commited by groups not individuals so the height becomes a bit of a moot point.

@POOHEAD189 Mdk was waving the flag for women's rights when the Weinstien Story broke, where is he now with the Roy Moore story?

@The Harbinger of Ferocity While broadly you are correct the difference I am talking about is literally height alone. Yes a 5'10 guy might appear slightly more capable of defending himself than 5'6 one, but that ignores all the variables you just stated of build, dress, expression, posture etc. And this is still observing the hypothetical in the 'fair' 1 on 1 context. A 5'10 guy could be skinny and scared looking and a 5'6 guy could be strong, stocky and mean looking, so my challenge is to the woman, who would you feel more 'protected' by?

And of course my original point still stands, a a lone person's few inches in height will not deter a group of assailants when they know they have the number advantage.

@Dynamo Frokane

It's more so the whole protective thing as well. I'm extremely short so in order to compensate, I'd look for tall guys. I mean, I would date guys of average height, but I believe that's somewhere up in 5'9 for men. I definitely wouldn't date short guys though. I mean, who would help me get stuff up in the last shelf?

@Xandrya

Install lower shelves, make your house like the smurfs :)

In America its recently around 5'9 for average in my country its closer to 5'7 and a half.

But as far as protection I'd have to ask, protection from what? Are guys really having streetfights to defend their princess in 2017? More often than not if someone is going to attack you they are going to do it in a group, which makes height pretty useless. I might be able to kick the ass of a 5'6 guy if we were fighting fairly, but if he had a 5'3 sidekick, I'm gonna get smoked.

@Xandrya Thanks for sharing your story. Its interesting how our experiences both negative and positive can directly effect the way we view the world and people. But can I ask, why did your standards go 'up' in terms of height, I mean 5'7 would still be seven inches taller than you why do they need to now be twelve inches taller or more?

And yes the feminist thing is fascinating, though I disagree with them about the fat female comparison. Guys may say they wouldn't date a bigger girl but depending on the circumstances that could just be to keep up appearances among peers. I've never met a fat girl who doesn't get a healthy amount of attention from guys. And to be honest, if we are talking about the equivalent of a slightly shorter than average male, than a slightly fatter than average woman would be considered curvy or full figured and these are both considered as attractive shapes. The size zero model desire only applies to fashion magazines and how women and gay men perceive them.

@POOHEAD189how tall are you though? I've only dated one girl in my entire life who was taller than me and that was by an inch.

I wonder where @Cameleon stands on this topic.
