  • In this short video from our latest episode we are talking to scientist Macken Murphy about the bizarre obsession women have with a man's height.
    Why do women care so much how tall a man is? Macken explains that women, just like mammals, generally tend to prefer males that are slightly taller then them. But they do not need to be with someone who is 4,5,6 inches taller then them.
    Often times women will say that they only date a man whose over 6 feet tall because they think it'll make them appear more selective and desirable.
    In many cases women do not care all that much about a man's height.
    Women don't like the tallest men, they just like men who are taller then men that are around them.

    Hollywood sold that the ideal man is 6 feet and it is hypocritical to say that height does not matter, especially in industrialized countries and the upper class, and a curious fact is that the women who pay the most attention to height are those who measure below 5 5

    i think mate preference is more down to social proof, for example a man that is very enjoyable for many to be around is more attractive than the average guy who usually only have his small friend group that he constantly surrounds himself with, he's typically wanted by many friendgroups or places, he's welcomed with open arms everywhere he goes and so this signals a lot about his character, sometimes it's very obvious who this guy is, he doesn't struggle to fit in anywhere and nobody is really suspicious or have any bad thoughts about him from just seeing him.
    and this overrules a lot of the conventional qualities like looks and height and strength and aesthetics and personal qualities.
    and so typically this character comes off as very agreeable but they are not sucking up to anybody, they are in all very approachable.
    because what i find is very interesting is when people get to be intimidatingly good looking and so they become less approachable and that i think more often hinders their ability to be succesful with people and more often the opposite sex, but with that said it can be overcome with good sociability or behaving in a way that makes them approachable.
    because i do think people measure people up a lot through popularity.

    bro this "height is related to protecting" thing is so dumb ,I am 5'5 I have wrestled taller guys and beat them ,I mean bro what does that has to do with this ,idk it just doesn't make sense ,if it was the real reason then they would be attracted to mma fighters and wrestlers and guy who can lift heavy ,but guess what ,no woman have ever said "when he is a wrestler (some weird face)"

    I believe height is just the easiest thing to look at for how formidable a guy is. Thinking about what should a woman be instinctively attracted to, it comes down to who is the baddest MFer for every other mammal. Who wins the fight literally is who they mate with. The buck that defeats his his challengers has does in different area codes. Since at this point in human history, physical fights are fairly rare, how it appears the man would do in a fight becomes important. It just turns out on average taller men are actually more formidable in a fight, but it isn't the end all be all. Mike Tyson is 5'10", but looks like a scary MFer even if you didn't know he was a legendary boxer. I would guess he is seen as above average by women. As alluded to in the video, width is attractive to women (given it isn't just width from being fat). Width sends a strong message that the guy will do fairly well in combat, that that man is capable of defending her if need be.

    I knew a guy he was 7’2ft n couldn’t play basketball couldn’t fight homeless and clumsy and the other things the guy said well he doesn’t know any culture where shorter men are the prize. That’s incorrect because I use to work with a few Mexicans men no taller then 5’3ft and there women treat them like kings from what I saw

    Height is the only thing that matters. Everything positive you will do will have lesser impact.
    You are tall and fat ? Go to the gym and dirt , you gain 5 or 6/10 points.
    You are short and fat ? Well you will be stuck at 4 max because no girl want a short guy.
    Career ? Be prepared to have to be twice the man other can be because nobody will take you seriously. Especially if there are women in management.
    It is the same thing for everything.
    It is just ridiculous at that point and it won't last long , I can't believe people could accept that and not change the situation.

      ​@@yukinagato-hr3xqnot even that probably. Every category of height has personality flaws. It is more likely that little man syndrome is a rationalisation that women started in order to feel better about ignoring short men.
