Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.
What would you consider SHORT?

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

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.
