      A follow-up question could have been: Studies indicate that individuals of greater height are more susceptible to certain cancer types. This is thought to be because taller individuals have a larger number of cells, and thus, a higher number of cells that could potentially turn cancerous. For every additional 5 cm in height, there is an increased risk for six specific types of cancer.

    @Razear 7 місяців тому +109

    "If they're around my height, I don't really see them as a man." Crazy how women can just throw out blanket statements like this criticizing an immutable characteristic... Imagine if a guy made the same statement about a woman's weight despite her being able to fully control it. And the funny thing is, it's almost always very petite women who will impose these standards. Heightism is one of the most socially accepted forms of overt discrimination that goes unchecked, which is mind-blowing because it's essentially genetic prejudice. We collectively frown upon racism as a society, but disparaging someone for being vertically challenged is okay when-just like race-it's completely out of their control?
    "I don't think it's the food because I ate well when I was little, too." Nutrition does play a role, but genetics are the most important factor (i.e., tall parents tend to have tall kids and vice versa).
    Growth hormones only work before a person's growth plates are fused. You can inject an adult with as much HGH as you want, but it won't result in any changes to their stature post-puberty. And it's something that requires a doctor's prescription. They are typically only used with children who have a hormonal imbalance.
    Leg-lengthening surgery is _never_ worth it. The patient is guaranteed to suffer from a lifetime of pain and mobility issues. Unless you think gaining 4" in height is worth spending every waking hour miserable, don't do it.

      Mongolians are not East Asians, they are North Asians. They are genetically different, just like Southern Europeans and Northern Europeans are different. Italians in Sardinia are only 172cm, but Dutch are 182cm. According to a survey by the Chinese Education Bureau and Sports Bureau in 2019, 19-year-olds in seven provinces in northern China are over 176cm tall, with the highest in Heilongjiang Province reaching 178cm. Central Chinese and Koreans are 174cm, and Cantonese and Japanese are both 170cm.
      If China's economy can reach the level of South Korea, northern Chinese will be much taller than Koreans.

Southeast Asians and North Asians are much shorter than North Chinese. Although the economy of Mongolia is much less developed than that of North China, Mongolia is a nomadic people and does not lack protein. Therefore, Mongolians are much less affected by the economy than East Asians.

Now Sichuan,guizhou provinces are mostly hilly regions of china. Ppl there will with good nutrition become surely taller but won't become taller than ppl from bohai region or shandong province because shandong province is mostly plain. Now only 14 percent of china is plain comparing India's 45 percent. With development and good nutrition,Indians will be surely taller than Chinese.

      If you're an unattractive rich dude, girls will date you over more attractive guys for the money. They'll also probably go behind your back with the attractive guys at every opportunity, or just leave you for a better prospect - and tbh, you'd only have your own rich self to blame for that
      Legitimately, the best thing you can do when dating is to be the best version of yourself in all areas. Be social, be educated, be mature, be kind, find the joy in your life rather than expecting a partner to do it for you. That's your starting line.
      If you're not "attractive", get fit + learn how to style + clean up to the best of your ability. If you're not rich, at least develop a clear sense of financial discipline and have tangible goals that you are working towards.
      Making dating a numbers game will, at best, get you dates with fickle shallow partners who will leave you feeling even worse off - or at worst, will make you the kind of amoral person that you're perfect match wouldn't even want to share a space with.
      Better to strike out 9 times out of 10 for the sake of that 1 out of 10 who really matters, than to score 9 times out of 10 and still wind up alone. Allowing superficial thoughts to guide you through the dating world will leave you in the latter spot.

    I'm very supporting of things like physical standards such as height for women, because I believe there's no need for a relationship if physical attraction is absent and some women genuinely can't be attracted to someone shorter than them (same with men and tall women btw)
    Buuuuut
    I think putting so much strain on a certain height is kinda nonsensical and saying "They aren't men" is going far.
    What difference does it make if someone is already taller than you? It's as dumb as men saying they can't date someone past a certain age when there isn't a difference or pulling out the "how much do you weight" bit as though the amount of pounds they pull on a scale is more important than the fact that they look attractive anyway

    I’ve had my fair share of time in Korea. In a crowded subway wagon, I’d find maybe one or two guys in the 185+ range, and 3-5 guys in the 180-183 range. In crowded Gangnam streets too I’d feel pretty tall, much taller than average, but never the only tall guy around.
    One more caveat, a LOT of men lie about their heights, and a LOT of them use insoles. My friend who’s barely 178 barefeet is exactly my height in shoes haha. It’s a running joke between us right now. But he’s not the only one, claims most of his friends do the same.
    And for dating, I don’t think you’d have any problem if you’re 174+ (173/174) being average. Even the girls who claim to have high height standards succumb to other factors like charm. And most of them are open to date if you’re taller than them. That’s it. Work on your other variables, control the controllables.

Even if guys would be 165 cm on average you can be sure that women want guys who are 180+ anyway. Modern media made 6ft the magical height requirement everywhere.

      Height matters in terms of looks. Your kid will likely be bullied or turned down by girls for being short. With height, they can be a model or be more athletically competitive in various sports. Taller people have higher potential to be stronger, and can more easily catch up to a shorter person in strength despite training less days. They also have a better advantage in combat, and again require less training to be able to compete with someone smaller due to size advantage.
      Although what the girl says is what everyone wants to hear, a pure image, she could easily subconsciously be attracted to someone taller and brushing away someone shorter in conversations due to attraction.

Short men often have a spark, ambition. Which is much more important in getting ahead in life. It's all about brains, ambition and money. This isn't the caveman days.
      And actually in WW2, the most deadly sniper of all time, Simo Hayha was 160 cm. In war, short frame actually means (satistically) that you're more likely to survive. You're a smaller target, and fit behind every small cover better. Rifle does the killing, courage gave him cold nerves. Aiming skill is not related to height.

I can't count how many times I heard from woman, that I should be taller (I'm 174 cm), even from pretty short woman and I never said to any girlfriend, that she should be slimmer. I've datet with women in variety of sizes and all of them was beautiful. My point is, that as a society, we mostly understand that we shouldn't judge people by their size, but we accept that woman can judge men by their heights. And I think it's pretty unfair.

    Diversity is good for survival. Smaller creatures have a higher survival rate when resources are scarce. Say that there was some sort of Armageddon, and food became scarce. Bigger creatures require more calories to survive, so are less efficient with energy. So bigger creatures are more likely to die off like the Dinosaurs during such resource stressful times. In times of famine, creatures that require less calories become more sustainable. Continuation of a species is helped by diversity. But when resources are plentiful, bigger is often better. TLDR: just be content as you are, and move with confidence at who/what you are, regardless of size.

    I used to be concerned about my height as well. In school, when we used to be arranged by height for assemblies and stuff, I used to be closer to the front during early high school. But later, I gradually moved to the back, which made me happy.
    I'm 5'8" and change now and I don't think I'm satisfied with my height but I've learned to accept it. Ideally, I would have liked to be 6'. It also affects where I am.
    Among family, I'm one of the tallest on both sides. And out on the streets, back home in India, I'm average or above the average. But in the US which is where I am, I'm generally below average.
    As of height of a partner, I genuinely don't care. As long as she has a nice face and a personality that goes with it, I couldn't care less about anything else.

    Very rarely, is height a factor for the woman in finding the man that much more attractive in consideration of himself.
    But it almost always, l like 99% of the time, is based on "how we would look together". The insecurity that goes from "people will think we are siblings", or "people think he can't protect me", or even "people think I'm his mom".
    Man's height isn't even about him. It's the perception of others. That's what women base it on. The man is a status symbol for their peers. A trophy.
