Watching the World Cup matches today made it clear. Halaand is 6’5 and dominated today over Brazil. Mexico had a chance to make a comeback but England drop back defensively and was hard to get over their 6ft+ players. Yea there are outliers like Messi but it shows much more a shorter or average player has to work on skills to compete against taller opponents.
Brutal fact is we are much more lonely in all of life than we think. Even in this sub, there is a hierarchy…..
The stats may say this and that, but if you go out enough, especially as Gen Z male, you’ll notice just how tall it seems literally everyone is. Idk man. Even in ethnic areas, or some ages older than you, it seems everyone is legit tall. Like 5”10 at very minimum and girls often 5”6ish.
I know yall could say, oh but the brain only notices the tall ones and how we are overthinking it ect, but let’s be very real here, even if it isn’t much self respect out loud. As part of human nature to not want to ever feel at the bottom, you’ll desperately look around to compare yourself and find someone who is your height or shorter, so as to not be and look as that one rock bottom man. In this case, your brain is actively looking for guys your height or shorter, not bypassing them. If you simply can’t find anyone around your height, then bad news, YOU are the smallest guy around and everyone else is looking at you to feel better about themselves…..
Adding to the facts about the stats lol, maybe Gen Z IS slightly shorter after all by like a few cm compared to Gen X and Older Millennials who are confirmed consistently tallest people. Terrible UPF diets, childhood obesity, unrestrained internet access, chronic stress, pollution, hyper competitive social life and cruelty that comes with it, is very likely the culprits for this very slight, almost negligible decrease in adult height. But again it’s very negligible and being under 5”10 as a young man is just not respectable height (not even counting our own absolute cursed heights). And who cares about older generations being taller or shorter or whatever, if you’re young, your competition and social and dating pool is other young people after all. Over when your height is so bad, some cringemaxxed 40 year old Andrew Tate ass wannabe who actually has the height you need, has a higher chance of bedding your age group or looks match.
Maybe the guys our heights are most likely shut ins and stay tf away from outside world unless they absolutely have to be and can you blame them? But if you do choose to go outside, your main social hubs (you can’t really use dating apps or online meet-ups, you simply don’t have the height or likely face/neurotypical stats to do so), are the usual place that only tall, handsome, well built young people would dare to constantly populate. Bars, nightclubs, sports clubs, friend group meet ups, even stuff that we already tend to go to like gym or therapy or whatever lmao still have such young privileged fuckers all over.
To add to this…. most of us just don’t even have solidarity in our life circumstances. All the stuff I mentioned, the general vibe isn’t exactly uncommon in young men today (even if they aren’t truly short or ugly), but they do have things that existentially we’ll never have. Idk man. I want to think so, so I feel less lonely and less “broken”, but apparently like less than 3% of men arrive at 30 virgins. In fact, most lose it by 25 if they are unlucky and when the modern media stats say stuff like 63% it means that’s how many are currently single, not necessarily virgin. These dudes apparently at least experienced teen love or something sexual experienced before they reached the early 20 lonely ages. You being KHH virgin at 24 or whatever and short and bullied and lonely, is in fact much more rare than you think.
When people think of a stereotypical messed up lonely loser Gen Z young man who’s at bottom of society, they picture some average height dude, whose surprisingly handsome and physically fit who had a few experiences throughout school and college and is just now having a “bad phase”. They can’t even picture our stats, and it seems even nature itself can’t, as evidenced by the stats on how extremely rare it is. Seems when nature thinks of surplus or loser men, it thinks of the same average height 6.5/10 dude who’s having a dry spell, as the media itself does. We are below even that it seems, we literally social mutations that shouldn’t have happened.
Not many people are us or have those stats. Insanely brutal how lonely and fucked up our situation is. Back in Covid, normis and those same people outside in such places today having times of their lives, were having absolute mental crises (rightfully?) form a mere few weeks or months without social life or sex or whatever, and the media fully validated them. Just to tell us to fix up and get over ourselves, when such conditions have been with us since conception effectively. Again, proves how existentially lonely we are. This IS NOT common nor standard for young men today, even if they objectively having and time. We’re entirely something else and much much rarer for the worse.
Tell me if I’m wrong……
I’m not here to say that being tall doesn’t give you an advantage or that height has no effect on dating, that’s obviously just false. But if you have everything else in order, is it really so over that all women will reject you just because of your height?
For some context, I’m 19 and currently in university. Among my friends, plenty of the guys who are average height or shorter have girlfriends. One of them is 5’3”, which a lot of people would claim is “game over” height, but despite that he has a girlfriend.
That’s why I’m curious how much of what I see reflects reality versus selection bias. What have your experiences been? Has your height significantly affected your dating life, and if so, how?
Thx for taking your time to comment in advance 🙏
im 16m and 5’11 just wondering if its short or average.
Some Of Your Tall "Friends" Have Done Exactly This... | Original Post: Here.
I think cope is actually good to lower your stress levels and make you feel better that accepting brutal reality and it will work best if you have some things you can change its better to cope for that time and work on yourself and improve
Cope can only be bad if you become arrogant and alpha(redpillers) it's always better to be realistic and scientific
Also imagine admitting the only reason you're with someone is because he met specific materialistic measurements determined by genetics at birth..
So I’m 5’9.75 and I’m not going to lie I am pretty frustrated by not being a full 5’10. I know 5’9.75 is practically 5’10 and I could just round up but there’s just something so psychologically annoying about not quite being that full number like I just missed being a decent height. I’m sure it’s even worse for 5’11.75 guys. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?😂
I used to struggle with self esteem wanting to be 6ft+, but i have accepted who i am. On another note, I checked out my reach last week and was expecting it to be shorter, but it landed at 77 inches, which i believe is to be 6'5.
I am just another outraged teenager who is worried about being short. I am 15 and 175 cm, I don't have a big but noticable mousatche, my beard is very small and only grows in one point(under my lips) and is not very visible. I am sad now, because 180cm(optimistic) is quite short for a European. So the question is will I grow taller?
So guys I m 18.3 years old and here me out.
So last year on December 25th , I measured myself and marked my height on the wall and then Today I measured my height again on the same wall . And to my surprise I m an inch taller !!
So for my parents They are 5 11 and 5 5 , and my older brother is 6 . And my dad and brother grew till they were 21 . So for me I m 175.2cm ! So is it a good trajectory for height ? And can I reach 5 11 or even 5 1O ??
I’m genuinely sick and tired of seeing posts on this subreddit asking for advice on how to deal with being short and hearing people say shit like “bro just get a personality” and “bro just talk to women”, like please if you’re this kind of person, BRO, for the love of god, never give advice again. NEVER EVER PLEASE.
That’s like akin to saying, just get rich. Like tf ??? You’re not actually addressing the problem nor giving any advice whatsoever, you’re just actively dismissing it because it barely affects you while pushing extremely unhelpful advice to those that have dealt with shit and could genuinely benefit from getting an ACTUAL ADVICE. TELLING SOMEONE TO GET A PERSONALITY IS NOT ADVICE.
As a counterexample to show how terrible these kinds of advice are (baffles me that I even have to do this because some of you will genuinely not get the point.) My brother, being the worst person I know, this misogynistic alcoholic POS gave his own girlfriend a black eye not once. TWICE. He’s had three counts of felonies. Never finished high school. In debt, and he’s gotten down with three women. How? Guess.
Well, he’s 6 foot fucking 3. If he acted the same as a 5’3, he’d just be seen as another undesirable, pathetic loser in the eyes of those same women.
So please, (I’m genuinely at my wit’s end right now seeing these comments pop up again and again.) Stop. spreading. cope. advice. Don’t say anything if you’re just going to be anything but helpful. STOP.
