- 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.

Publicly declaring high criteria is signaling one's (self-rated) status. BINGO. I've been telling people this for ages.
❤
It's cool listening to this guy. He speaks very clearly.
Thanks bud :)
The disgusting tats detracts from his intelligence.
"A 5'10" man is pretty much the same as one 6 foot".
Yeah, but a male 5'4" is not considered a man by most of the US population.
I'm a 5'4'' man. This sentence hurts. I've never associated height with manliness but apparently girls do. If my muscles don't counteract that, then women are illogical in their perceptions of manhood.
No it's not its a 2 inch difference 5'11 and 6ft looks similar.
Unfortunately 5'4 and below is brutal 😬☠️
@@blacklyfe5543 I am 5'4'' and I spent my entire 22 year long life not knowing about the height preference women have until recently.
@@newwaveinfantry8362same bro 5’6 here 😂
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
Ironically James Dean was 5'7. I have also noticed shorter woman or women under the average care more about certain heights, which may lend to having standards or creating status as they obviously could date certain men with a height that they feel negates them from certain women.
false, a lot of leading men are NOT 6"
Pretty much 5’10 and up your good stop complaining
Wrong 5'8 and up is valid.
@@blacklyfe5543 you think 5’8 is a decent height?
5ft9 men🗿
@@mrswollsI'm 5'8 never had problems. I'm lean and have good posture.
More like 5’8 and up, the average woman is like 5’3/5’4.
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)"
It’s because they want their kids to also be tall even though most of their kids will end up on the shorter side due to their own height not being that much 😂😂
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.
I love how it's ok for a woman to want a tall man because men can't control their height but it is body shaming for a man to want a skinny woman even though a woman can control her weight if she is overweight she can lose weight but if a man is short, he is stuck being short because he has no control over his height but a woman has control over her weight.
The one thing that we can’t control and they get upset when we don’t want an overweight woman something they can 95% of the time can control. 🙄
It’s so backwards isn’t it 😂 like there’s a whole movement for fat acceptance accept these nuts lol when these morons stop acting like this out of our controls are a bad or good thing then we’re gonna keep calling people how it is fat short tall lanky whatever it is it’s all fair game
I understand that too
It genuinely doesn’t take a PhD to figure out a level 1.01 maths: height is a good proxy for size (and, conversely, strength). Same level of development at 5’4 and at 6’4 produces vastly different outcomes in terms of strength and that matters.
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.
Its just very recent so something is just really fishy
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
Latin culture still holds onto masculine & feminine roles.Men are the prize regardless of their height with Hispanics.
They all want a 6'4" guy who knows how to slam the G.
Not all of them
@@blacklyfe5543no all of them. some of them just haven't experienced it so they think they don't want it.
@@jurassicthunder no
@@jurassicthunderyou can never say all you haven't met all women and there are some exceptions.
@@jurassicthunderYou're not very experienced with women, are you?
You sound bitter.
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.
How is freaking mike tyson short? Get the f out there with your dumb analysis
its insanity that women want Super Tall man and I will not date short women has Tall man I am 1.91cm
Dude you don’t need to go that far it’s not just short women it’s tall women too that’s just their requirements honestly it’s just an America thing I know plenty of women who don’t care
because their stuck in the pass
I'm 5'11
The fact that you had to tell us that you’re 5’11” means that you are definitely shorter than 5’11” 😂
They don't care how tall you are if you got money. Study that!
cope!
@@NoctuloConElEnfasis-6.5how is he coping.
@noalliances facts.
@@blacklyfe5543 bc why would a man want a woman just bc she wants your money. If its just for sex sure, but they will bleed you dry bc thats all they wanted
@@NoctuloConElEnfasis-6.5 exactly.Don't tell them that most CEO's (including the presidents) heights start with 6 feet.
Sadly, character is probably somewhere in the middle on their checklist. Actually, having character is probably a bit of a turn-off to a lot of women. Based on what I've seen in my lifetime, women prefer a tough aggressive risk-taking type of guy with charisma. The guy could be a broke ugly sociopath but if he checks the aforementioned boxes, he's good to go.
Do your homework Sir!
Most elite soldies are of average hight or shorter. Stop the fascist bullshit!
great point!
in ancient times when our DNAs were still brewing tall dudes had the vest chance of survival because of strength and vision against other men.
On the Japanese version of "Ninja Warriors," the winners were usually 5'3' and 130 pounds. (tough little cusses).
Personally feel like men care more about their height and how its perceived than as many women think its important. There are women that feel that way, but in my experience it is just how you come across.
From my experience it’s usually age driven inversely for both sexes, except for single moms. I noticed a lot of women with no kids tend to keep up with the joneses up to age say 35. If their sister or best friends married a 6’2 guy, chances are they’ll want the same. I also noticed that after a breakup women usually date a taller man than their ex or exes. It’s almost if subconsciously they want their final mate to be capable of beating/intimidating all her prior exes.(depending on the woman’s class, this could switch from height to financial status or both)
My youngest aunt was the first one I noticed with this trend, but she ended up marrying her 5th and final husband, a truck driver, who is my same height at 5’7. All her prior husbands(the ex-men) were 5’10 or taller. So the older she got, the less she cared about height. She also said she felt comfortable knowing that she’s less likely to get cheated on by him, her prior husbands always had women flirting with them, sometimes even with her right next to them.
Men however it’s the reverse, the younger we are we tend to not care about our height, but as we get older, we are more conscious of it as the rejections added up no matter how many times we improved ourselves physically and financially. It then became clear that something else other than the cliche confidence was the root. I’m now 46 and the height thing didn’t hit me until i was around age 34. I was with a single mother of two who couldn’t have any more kids and I decided to try going to a sperm bank and got rejected because the minimum height is 5’10. After that I decided to try getting back out in the dating market again, but this time I’m doing both Online Dating and Going out to singles events. I went to speed dating events and the only women to respond to me were the single moms, none of the no kids ladies picked me or the other guys similar in height. They usually picked the one or two tallest guys at the session. I then did an experiment with my match profile. I changed my height from 5’7 to 5’10 and within a week I got more responses than I can count, but I could not live with lying like that.
men dont like when women have unrealistic expectations? irony
What unrealistic standards do men have? all men generally want is a woman who keeps her body weight down, has a low body count, and is kind and feminine to us. meanwhile, women on the other hand, have a list of mile long of what they want in a guy.
Little man syndrome is not attractive to females either.
what is little man syndrome? Is it a medical condition? If so is there such thing called big man syndrome then?
Why do you assume ever short man has “little guy syndrome”?
Probably cuz of all the bashing they receive
Little man is syndrome is a man who is of small physical stature but he is extraordinary in intellect and his success and greatness is labelled as crime as he is not supposed to succeed or be intelligent
His struggle for respect he always deserved is called a little man syndrome
@@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.
