This is pure cope-ium

Many many many women will take a somewhat fit guy that is 6’2” over a jacked guy that is 5’8”

Anyone that thinks otherwise is a short jacked guy trying to cope with the cards he was dealt

I’m only 6 foot and at the gym I get twice as much female attention as short super jacked guys

HTML_Novice · 2023-12-15T17:28:54+00:00

Ive been with tons of women, they’ve never really mentioned my muscles (and I’m maxed out in buffness), they always mention my height though. I’m not even tall but it still comes up constantly.

Women really really don’t care about muscles dude, I’m sorry. If you were going for gay men, sure

If you want proof, look at men that young women love, ( Jacob elordi, male model types ). Look at the tik toks of girls creaming over height, height filters set on dating apps, im sorry dude girls don’t care about muscles

Is height king? Are muscles king?

I dunno…but I know damn well personality isn’t king.

Height is the number one attraction cue for women all over the world

Get over it

Short guys are better off compensating their deficiency with money instead of muscles

Wrong

Better to be 6'1 and skinny cuh it makes your dick look bigger

Hatefuleight-36 · 2023-12-15T17:42:09+00:00

Face+height is supreme, sorry. But if you have at least two of the three main pillars of height, face and body, you will probably be fine, the thing with physique preferences with women is that they are much more varied than with men for the most part and very nuanced (NOT saying that women like fat guys or skinnyfat guys, those are two almost universally unsexy male body types), but women want a fit body on a cute looking guy that is preferably taller than her, and fit can mean anything from rail thin cycler bro who has a heart that works like a goddamn road runner to Eric Bugenhagen tossing around 500 pound barbell weights on the squat rack for reps and looking damn fine doing it.

boredom4321 · 2023-12-15T18:13:43+00:00

both mean less than your game. As long as you aren't morbidly obese or like 5'2 (granted I know a 5'2 guy who gets laid all the time) you're in good enough range for most women to talk to you at which point you just need to be able to charm them. I was able to get dates long before I got lean and I'm not tall. Your face from grooming and style mean a lot more for your initial impression. People can't even see a six pack like 90% of the time since it's under clothing.

The whole looks obsession is less prevalent than guys think. Most of them are just so truly awful at flirting that their looks are ALL they have and sorry most of you aren't 9s and 10s that can get away with being "awkward cute"

Just don't be a whale or a stick and you're good.

Spaciousone · 2023-12-15T17:49:39+00:00

No not really dating is just a random variable if you don’t fit that variable you can always find another.

Muscles are more important than height for attracting women

Maybe in your own small bubble, but on a broader scene, generally no. This becomes even more obvious when the height difference between tall and muscular guy is large. You can put on muscle with hard work but you cannot put on height which makes it more valuable in the context of physical characteristics, and women know this.

If you just hit the gym and get muscular, you’ll witness your dating options 10x if not 20x

A change this drastic is not going to happen to majority of men. Unless you have other things going for you like a good face, and being previously super fat so you have this kind of glow-up, gym alone ain't doing it to this degree.

GltyUntlPrvnInncnt · 2023-12-15T18:31:47+00:00

This is such a cliche, but I've found out that over those things, I've had best success with women that I can make laugh.

TheoreticalResearch · 2023-12-15T18:41:11+00:00

I agree that being fit is more important to me than height. Not like super jacked or anything but a 5’8” with a climber’s physique is okay in my book.

Glass_Bucket · 2023-12-15T17:11:28+00:00

Manlet cope

ComfortableJeans · 2023-12-15T17:19:22+00:00

Pure anecdote, but I'm 6'3. 6'4 with my boots on. Not jacked or anything.

But there was this 5'9 or so guy that was gym huge, thick thighs, six pack, and all that. And he would try and try to get my exes' attention when we first met. He was pretty handsome, too.

I don't even know how much my height played into it, but I could make her laugh and laugh, so she'd always hang out with me, and eventually, we got into a relationship.

She would talk about how he made her uncomfortable for a bit before just doing everything she could to get him away from her.

I think being able to make women comfortable and laugh has done more for me than being tall or if I got shredded.

Steakman1 · 2023-12-15T18:07:51+00:00

I don’t think most women can tell if you’re actually 6ft or not unless you’re really tall or short. It’s not as though women walk around with a tape measure. I’m 6’1” and have been referred to as short because I was in proximity to a bunch of guys who were taller than me. And then I have also been referred to as tall because I was taller than most of the people around me in that situation. But if you’re average or slightly above average height while still not being 6ft, then it’s more about who you’re in proximity to.

It’s just like with the 6figs metric. Most women with the 100k requirement don’t actually know how much money that is. It’s not as though women are asking to see your W-2’s or paystubs. You could easily portray a lifestyle that makes it appear like you make 6figs to them when you make 70k+.

Either way, at my height, I don’t have a bunch of women drooling over me like some people here seem to believe happens when you’re tall.

Objective_Ad_6265 · 2023-12-15T17:53:25+00:00

No. There is nothing as ridiculous as a short man that tries to compensate for it with mucles.

Maybe, but truly the most important thing is to be kind and be fun to actually be around.

TheMedsPeds · 2023-12-15T17:55:27+00:00

I’m not into muscles or tall guys. Give me a 5’8 lean dude. Bonus points if he has long hair and high cheek bones.

harmonica2 · 2023-12-15T17:22:51+00:00

I know a guy who is 5'6" or 5'5" who is jacked and his gf is good-looking so I guess that's one case of choosing muscles over height?

Jessica_Rabbit69 · 2023-12-15T17:35:39+00:00

I agree, but I think it matters how short you are. 5’8 is still taller than most women, most women can’t tell. If I guy is noticeably taller than me I assume he’s 6’

AFuzzyMuffin · 2023-12-15T17:39:49+00:00

Muscles and fit yes matter the most this should be common knowledge

NotARussianBot1984 · 2023-12-15T17:57:13+00:00

As a fit 5'7, guess my input isn't needed lol.

Lol kinda tru tho...if u fit u bangin chicjz fo sure...no matter how tall u iz...u in shape u beatin em off wit a stick...go for it man...bang different chick every night...variety spice o life👍

KaptainBrix · 2023-12-15T18:14:07+00:00

That's because 5'8 and 5'10 are not short! 5'8 is at the upper range of average, and 5'10 is literally tall, at this point height really doesn't matter if at all! Sure some women might go for the 6'2 guy instead, but for almost all women once your height is at least average then you're good, as long as you're good looking, have style, and confident.

Now if you're like 5'5 or something then no amount of muscle will save you if she's not into short guys.

I’ll always take a tall lanky mf over a short dude that’s overly muscular all day, I don’t find that body type attractive at all🤣🤣 when dudes are short and overly muscular, they look like this💀

macone235 · 2023-12-15T17:09:17+00:00

I agree if they have a good frame/genetics. Lots of men (especially shorter frames) don't look athletic even when they're athletic. It'll also depend on your face and how carry that. If you exude masculine energy along with having muscles, then women will respect you more than a soft and skinny 6' guy.

three_eyed_ghoul · 2023-12-15T18:20:48+00:00

Additionally, while larger upper bodies boost attractive ratings for taller men, they don’t appear to have the same effect for shorter men.

BackToTheMoon_ · 2023-12-15T18:21:16+00:00

Im 5’8, nigerian-american, played football in hs, stayed relatively in shape up to my now 27 age

I go back and forth with height/physique. I think physique helps if you are not too short (under 5’7-5’8) but it will never give you the boost like height does

Height adds more points than physique but face still matters the most. My height has never really hurt me. I honestly do not remember a girl ever blatanly telling me “no, too short” but this is bot to say that every single girl has always given me a chance

Most of my lays and hook ups come from dating apps where you list your height and I dont really have a issue finding new sexual partners regardless of height

No, I dont have my pick of the litter but ive definitely had my fun with all different races. Most of my lays are white women who you would think would only go for tall-white guys but nope, no discrimination

Intellect7000 · 2023-12-15T18:32:55+00:00

Nooo it isn't. Height is way more important than muscle.

MiddleZealousideal89 · 2023-12-15T18:44:35+00:00

''Muscles'' is way too broad. That could be anything from a lean guy with more of a runner's body to a bodybuilder. Everyone likes people who look good but what looks good will vary from person to person. I like fit guys but super jacked guys just don't do it for me, while other women would love a super jacked guy and aren't into the slimmer guys.

OkHoliday8798 · 2023-12-15T17:39:20+00:00

Ehhh not really. Most women I know would take a tall skinny/somewhat fit guy over a jacked short/average height dude. Being super jacked helps but it’s not really a requirement for most women it even turns some women off, unlike height. Most women want a guy that’s at least taller than them, I definitely do.
