Pretty sure the last study I read said that the average height for American males was around 5"10-11 and in Europe it was about 2 inches taller. Either way, when in reference to women, it doesn't matter as much as you think it does. I'm a short guy and I seem to attract more interest from taller women than short.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Is 5'8 considered short for a male?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'm Asian, 5'7". A bit shorter than my caucasian friends, but I was quite pleased with myself when our family went to the Philippines over Christmas and I was waaayyy taller than most people. I remember standing in a line for fast food, thinking "something's wrong here... wait! I'm taller than everyone here! Rock on!"
I'm 6ft0.75in tall (measured it dead accurately) and sometimes feel short where i live. That being said, there are 2-4 guys around who are shorter than me than there is for every guy taller.
My guess is the average English guy is easily 5'11. I do think being tall is a huge advantage.
But at the end of the day the biggest player I know, my uncle, was only 5"6 always had women.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I think height does wonders for your "inner" game, makes you feel superior to other males. Personally I don't see it as much of an advantage. I am 6'8" shoeless and I feel very out of place most of the time. I know it has its advantages, but when you are on the other end of the spectrum it is a hassle. Cars, clothes, no doggy style unless shes tall, always having a bump on your head from hitting it on a door frame...it is really a hassle. Only advantage I have noticed is no one forgets you
