For an American man’s height, what is short and tall to you?

For me, short is under 5’9” and tall is over 6’.

I know there are studies that will show the average height of the American man. But this is about your perspective.

I think short is under 5'6" and tall is over 6".

by Anonymousreply 1May 5, 2023 8:25 PM

Average is 5'10"-6'1"

Tall is 6'2" and over

5'9" and below are incel midgets

by Anonymousreply 2May 5, 2023 8:26 PM

I'm 6'2" and am simply not attracted to anyone under 5'11". I've tried. I hate being (much) taller than my partner and would always prefer to be the shorter partner. Rarely happens, of course.

But in general? 5'9" and below feels "short" to me. 6'4" and above feels "tall" to me.

The gays on Scruff only fall into two categories. Over 6 foot three, and under 5 foot five.

I'm 5'9" #160 and I've always liked being this size. The whole world is designed for people like me. Cars, planes, furniture, movie seats, nice looking clothes all fit perfectly. I never have to duck down and I can always reach the top shelf. The world just fits 🙂

R5, I'm 6' and can't even reach the top shelf in my kitchen cabinets. What's your secret?

by Anonymousreply 6May 5, 2023 9:19 PM

I’m 6’3” and my DH is 5’7”. But about ten years ago I was kissed by a man who was 6’6” and OMFG. I’d never been kissed (never mind more) by a man who was taller than me.

I am 6,2 and couldn’t care less about short or tall. In fact, some of the best sex i’ve had was with shorter guys.

by Anonymousreply 14May 5, 2023 10:04 PM

I’m 6’. Under 5’9” is a no-go regardless of sexual prowess or looks. 6’1”-6’2” is tall. Over 6’4” is bizarre. Nice to look at, not practical in any way, mattresses, cars, normal-sized world…

R14 is a short guy who likes to talk up the appeal of hopping in bed w/ little people. I like adults.

I'm 6' and was in a LTR with a guy 6'2 and it never bothered me. But I went on a date with a guy 6'5 and I just felt so tiny that I was uncomfortable. I didn't ended up not dating him because he was tall, but because we didn't click. But the height difference did bother me for some strange reason.

by Anonymousreply 16May 5, 2023 10:34 PM

R15, there is NOTHING like a shorter guy who hops on your dick and rides like the Kentucky Derby.

by Anonymousreply 17May 5, 2023 10:51 PM

Only 14.5 percent of men in the U.S. are over 6 feet tall — 3.9 percent are 6'2 or taller.

I’ve always found it insane height being apart of a deal breaker or requirement. It’s as crazy as wanting a man who makes a 7 figure salary.

R15 Yeah so 14.5% of US men are over 6’ so now break down how many of them are gay, good looking, and in your area and find you attractive.

Like how much dick can you be getting with those standards lol.

by Anonymousreply 20May 5, 2023 11:04 PM

R20 I’ve lived in NYC for ~15 years. 6’-6’2” is more common than 5’10”, as are guys who make more than $100k by the time they’re 25ish y/o. Unless they went to grad school, in which case they’re 24-26 y/o and start at $200k. But NY is for overachievers, I get that.

I was born and raised in IA. 5’8” was a midget there, too.

by Anonymousreply 21May 5, 2023 11:26 PM

I'm 6'2" and my partner is 5'8". I don't think much about it except folding clothes. His underwear and socks are like kids clothes. And regardless of his sock size, his cock is normal sized.

Height difference is fun in sex.

by Anonymousreply 23May 5, 2023 11:35 PM

I’m 6’3” and I couldn’t agree more with R5 — the world is 100% not made tall people.

by Anonymousreply 24May 5, 2023 11:46 PM

R18 Wow I never knew it was such a small percentage of men over 6'0 in the U.S., I would've thought the numbers were much higher. I pretty much agree with the consensus, anyone under 5'9/5'10 is short imo. I knew most women preferred taller men, I had to learn that alot of gay men do too

by Anonymousreply 25May 6, 2023 12:25 AM

^ Think about all the Asians and Latinos in the world who aren't generally tall. Then that percentage of tall men makes more sense

by Anonymousreply 26May 6, 2023 1:00 AM

I’m tall and generally are very attracted to smaller/shorter men.

by Anonymousreply 27May 6, 2023 1:50 AM

I am 6’ 4” and I am a good height. Any taller is freakish like my older brother. Freak.

Would you rather have a tall man with a small cock and a flat ass, or short man with a big cock and a hot ass?

by Anonymousreply 29May 6, 2023 2:16 AM

For gay men, when it comes to height, so much is about being a (mostly) top or (mostly) bottom.

Obviously.

by Anonymousreply 30May 6, 2023 2:21 AM

Height is mostly important to many fraus. They'll reject a short, well educated, financially successful and family oriented man. They choose a tall man with less than stellar qualities. Many of them believe a tall man is stronger and more masculine. Those women are idiots.

by Anonymousreply 31May 6, 2023 2:25 AM

R29 absolutely neither. I’d be single and j/o to porn if they were the only options.

by Anonymousreply 32May 6, 2023 3:05 AM

Both!

by Anonymousreply 33May 6, 2023 3:39 AM

I’m 5’11” and perfectly fine with it. My partner is 5’8” but has a much “bigger” personality than me, not to mention is better looking - so I feel very lucky to have bagged him. He’s never indicated that his height has been an issue and he certainly doesn’t come across as a “little” man. I can’t understand people who have weird hang-ups about height. It’s totally irrelevant to me.

As a six footer, give me a 5'5" Latino bear cub and I'll take him any day and do unspeakable things to him.

R28, how is flying at 6'4"? I'm 6' and absolutely miserable in airplanes. I usually can't get my knees past the seat in front of me and if I can, I have to stick them all the way under the seat. And economy plus isn't much better. If I have to fly for work, I'll fork out an extra 200 out of pocket for a first class seat.

by Anonymousreply 36May 6, 2023 5:05 AM

I'm 5'5, nearly 5'6. Height has never been an issue for me.
