"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.
What would you consider SHORT?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The height that makes you get a complex about it.

Kids are tall these days... it ain't no thang for young guys to be 6'6, but for most guys, 6'2 is still considered pretty tall, and 5'11 is quite average. (I said 5'10 was average in my previous post, but a 5'11 dude in the morning would be 5'10 at night...)Kerpal said:
I go to the website celebheights.com quite a lot. Its got nice discussions on famous dudes' heights.
For an indication of how 5'11 is an average height, celebheights lists Brad Pitt at 5'11, Michael Fassbender 5'11, Orlando Bloom (who's wifey is smokin hawt) at 5'10.5, and Matt Damon at 5'10 flat.

Of course, women may exaggerate it a bit, (especially since women are getting much taller these days too), but even if you are 5'8'', you are still taller than most women.
If a woman is hung up on your height, then forget her
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I find I'm probably on the short side of average among males my age, but it's nothing to worry about.
Floyd Mayweather is like 5ft 7, do you think he walks around feeling sorry for himself?

Muscular guys usually seems taller since they "fill" space, while I noticed that many guys that were taller than me actually looked my height or short if not close to compare.
Also personality plays a role, dominant man looks taller even if they are not.
And dont forget your body posture as well, most of men could get a inch only by filling their lungs and walk straight.
Regarding your question I agree with d1ckmojo, just considering slight difference between countries actually, tall in spain is average in holland.
The bottom line is that women only care about your height if you care. They seem to be content if you're taller than them. I'm sure some taller women have shot me down because I'm short, but I've also hooked up with girls a couple inches taller.
I consider like 5'10"ish pretty normal.
5'9 is average. Anything over is considered tall. Anything under is considered short.
5'10 is two inches away from being 6 feet. Hardly short, or average.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Agreed. In fact I have female friends who have 6ft as a requirement for any men they date hahahaha.TonyBaloney said:

Even at an amateur level, maybe it's because of the weight classes, there are more short fighters than tall. Wrestling is the same way, especially at collegiate levels. You don't see many tall guys. But at the same time, from what I've seen at least, most of them seem to do fine with women.
