I'm guessing anyone 5'10" to 5'11" put 6'0" on their profile. Legit barefoot 6'0" guys put 6'1". The guys putting 5'11" are probably 5'8" or 5'9".


What do girls think when I put 5'8" for my 5'6"?

I figured your supreme facial aesthetics would speak for you not matter how tall you are.

Maybe so...but I'm only 5'7"

So it doesn't take many inches down yonder to make me look like I'm packing a Louisville Slugger.


Thank you Jesus

I'm actually a hair over 5'11". I usually put 5'11" on things as I don't want to get caught pretending I'm 6'. It does suck to not be able to say I'm 6' though it's such a huge difference in people's minds.

I'm 5'9 broseph. My life is a never-ending parade of inadequacy. Don't give me that shite about being 5'11. I would kill a litter of puppies with my bare hands to be 5'11.

I'm right at 5'11 but I just say I'm 6'0. It's simpler.

I know a few OT8/IRL10s (sorry, no pics) who are married or engaged to guys under 5'9". Height isn't a problem for most guys.

I assume you're joking. I'm 5'9" and it doesn't ever hold me back. But yea when a girl is taller than me it is a little disconcerting

5'10 here. I can understand a taller woman (5'8-5'9) wanting to date someone that's 6'2+. There's a sense of security there. If that's their preference, so be it. Nobody should get their panties in a wad over a girl turning them down because of their height. Just be a man, move on and find someone who is interested.

I don't date women who are taller than me because it's weird as hell. I just don't find taller women attractive. That doesn't make me an a-hole. It's just a preference. Everyone has them.

I'm 6'4 so where do I sign up. What's really bizarre is I'm one of the shortest men in my family.

If she's OK with it so am I.

I went on two dates a few months apart with a girl who was four inches taller.

hmmmm, exagerrated pic

so you're only 5'11 with shoes on,

as opposed to barefoot or socks, right?!

real height 5'9.5" is closer to the truth
