So, a girl, asked me how tall I am..

[Prepostereax]

Off the peg stuff will never look as good as the movies

I've tried on a couple of long coats, because I think it's a cool look. You know, sort of like the deputies in Pale Rider who wear those long duster coats. But they didn't look right on me, somehow they made me look short - which I'm not. I'm not tall either, I'm average. I don't know how it works, but it seems like to get that look you have to be tall.

A tailored coat would be in order (not something you'd do for casual use)
Very buff guys get a similar problem, standard issue suits makes them look fat.

Not familiar with Pale Rider, but a lot of actors are shorter than average (maybe just lead actors. So their head is comparatively bigger)

Oh, I'd highly recommend a watch, it's one of Clint Eastwood's best westerns (along with High Plains Drifter), if you're into that sort of thing. Reportedly though, Clint Eastwood was 6'4" in his heyday, and John Russell, who played the main villain, was 6'3 1/2". Here's a picture of him in the movie with his deputies, with the long dusters.

I can’t believe being tall is such a social advantage. I’m 6’4, but I think it’s unfair that you get the unspoken good first impression based on that.

It's bigger than you think. It is of upmost importance.

You don't know because you are tall. If you were under 6'0 you wouldn't say that.

 

[Stuffnu]

Don’t dwell on the artificial.
I’m 5’9 and there’s plenty of women in this height range.
When I get asked that question, I just tell them I’m an excellent climber.

She is not asking to find out how tall you are, OP. She is telling you are short. Straight and unapologetic. You're short. You do not qualify.

Ask her how big her t!ts are or how much she weighs.

At this point it does not matter and it's an insult.

"Does it really matter?"

Yes it does.

If you have a big tool, you can flip the script right there on the spot, take her hand and put it on your pants, and say "very tall and very fat". If you're online, just send her your d*ckpic.

 

[sevbucmash]

172cm

5'6" is below average in any country. Average woman is 5'6", you add heels to that and that's 3 to 6 inches taller than you. 5'9", 6 foot.

 

[sevbucmash]

they do it simply to test me, not to find out my height, and that I should answer things like, "I'm 1 meter tall, and that's enough," or "the last time they measured me, the tape measure broke,"

No. It's not a test. Answer like that tells them straight up you have no clue. Your only choice is to make it sexual. Short but fun they'll deal with, short and clueless they'll avoid.

Damn straight it's an insult. Just rude. Why stoop to her level and be rude back? Simply ignore and if online, delete.

You want a "quality" woman, then choose a quality woman..

If you're online, just send her your d*ckpic.

Lol. Yeah respond with a d*ck pic and then block delete.

I have never asked a man this question in my life!

I have two eyes I can see how tall (or short) he is. If online I would believe his profile until proven otherwise after meeting in person.

Geez!!!

Your average frumpy HB 6 swipe app woman cannot in any way compete with a HB 8 gym bunny for these types of guys

But we live in a world where every woman who's single has been convinced by social media she has the right to a man thats substantially taller than her

A lot of these gym bunny's are just dolled up 5's and 6's though, yet demand male 9's.

A 6/10 is slightly above average attractiveness - i.e. cute & fit.

A 5/10 is a healthy weight average woman.

A 4/10 is a bit of a dumpy chick, but not more than 25lbs overweight. Or a skinny slightly ugly faced woman.

A 3/10 is very overweight / into the obese range

A 2/10 is very obese.

A 1/10 is "my 600lbs life" or something horrific.

A 5/10 is a healthy weight average woman.

This isn't how my scale goes. I define a 5 as a woman I might think about doing if I was desperate, but when it comes right down to it, I'm not going to do it.
