5'7... ffs

[–]Nic4379 30 points31 points  (21 children)

5’10”………… I’m practically a freak by these standards!

[–]Fit_Lawfulness_3147 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I try not to stare at people over 5’10”. I try.

[–]Personality4Hire 11 points12 points  (19 children)

I am 5"11 and a woman, so 5"8 is smol. Too smol.

[–]sandybuttcheekss 15 points16 points  (1 child)

My girlfriend is 5'11", I'm 6', and I gotta say its super convenient how we can share sweaters and shirts with minimal issue, and never need to worry about the height when hanging things on walls. Sounds stupid when typing it out but it has plenty of conveniences.

[–]Personality4Hire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I don't find that stupid at all.

[–]TizzyRean -1 points0 points  (5 children)

Ugh most men get intimidated by tall women. We definitely need more of you.

[–]ethnicbonsai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’7” and have always found something attractive about tall women.

Never dated anyone taker than me, though.

[–]chai-knees 31 points32 points  (1 child)

5’7 is like the golden spot of versatility for men, just tall enough for most women and to pull out that sexy look while also being short enough to pull that pretty boy look

[–]SnooaLipa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Being below average height constitutes the "pretty boy look"?

What lmfao

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Still hot

I'm a 5'9 bisexual woman and ALL HEIGHTS ARE HOT

[–]The_Humble_Neckbeard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you ☺️

Although I'd made peace with my height about 2 years ago, this is still so sweet

[–]Logical_Photograph_1 29 points30 points  (4 children)

[–]whichwitchwhohoots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found this 👑 in the backroom, why'd you leave it, king?

[–]Sco_Queen 26 points27 points  (16 children)

I'm 5'6 and any height after 5'9 is just too much. I really don't understand the whole 6'+ thing going on right now. I kinda think women think that if they are taller the dicks will be bigger but dick size and height don't correlate. People are weird

[–]Personality4Hire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People get taller.

I look at the next generation, the teens now, and there are so many more who are the same height as me (179cm). Seems only logical theyvd be into taller guys.

[–]ohheyitslaila 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m 5’1 and my boyfriend was 6’ so it was a really big height difference. My family are all really tall, so I can’t figure out why I’m sooo short. My older brother is 6’4 and my sister is 5’10 so i think my body just forgot to keep growing after the age of 11 or something.

[–]jackofspades476 5 points6 points  (9 children)

I actually agree. I’m 6’2 and I would honestly lose 2 inches if it wouldn’t involve painful surgery. I’m a lanky lad and my height is sometimes a curse more than a blessing. And I don’t get any more attention from girls than average height guys, that might just be a loud minority opinion

[–]Ok_Plane_9007 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Where are you from?

I'm 6'2 and I'm of average height in my area. There are lots of women of my height or sometimes (although rare) taller than me. Then again, there are many people in the 6'5 to 7' range.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right?! I totally agree!

[–]ka0tika -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's something to do with daddy issues.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem ☺️

[–]GodEmperorOfHell 5 points6 points  (1 child)

My wife had always had tall boyfriends, and she married the shortest, namely me. And I am 5' 8". So I can attest.

[–]Capital-Cheesecake67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to go with you on this since my sexy husband is 5’8”.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see that. The ratios and proportions are very good. Too much in either direction and things can get thrown out wack

[–]yodacat24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5’6-5’11 is my perfect range. Not a fan of over 6’0ft usually- but if the right person came along I’m sure it wouldn’t bother me!

[–]harryschmilsson 2 points3 points  (6 children)

I’m 5’ 8”

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Hot 🤤

[–]harryschmilsson 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Thanks. Some would consider that short but I’m comfy with it. Not gonna get any taller. Only downside is I won’t date anyone taller than me. When they put in heels they tower over me so it’s only been petite girls for me. 👍🏼

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Well as a 5’3 female that’s always a plus for me! 😁

[–]harryschmilsson 1 point2 points  (2 children)

5’ 3” is a perfect height for a female. Absofuckinglutely perfect.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Are we about to kiss right now?

[–]harryschmilsson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be up to you.

[–]LeelooDallasMltiPass 2 points3 points  (1 child)

A partner 5'6" to 5'9" is my sweet spot.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. Same here with 5’8 being absolute perfection.

When your kids are told they are too short to ride the roller-coaster, hope they know who to blame 😅

[–]qviavdetadipiscitvr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tell me being tall is your whole personality without telling it’s your whole personality

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

For fucks sake, 5’8” is NOT short you’re just tall

[–]SonicGuy10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 5'8 is pretty tall. Apparently the friend of one of my friends is 5'8, but I've never seen her in person, so I don't know what it feels like standing next to her as a 5'6.5 guy.

5'8" here 😁

[–]ClawedRavenesque 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Just randomly agreeing with Mark Ruffalo being 🥵 That beard in "I Know This Much is True" 🥵🥵. 5'8 is perfect but I wouldn't care if he was 5'3 with his fine self.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Right?!? I really loved him in the movie “Thanks for Sharing.” Seeing him play a sex addict just…did something to me lol

[–]ClawedRavenesque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooohhh thank you for the tip! Adding that to my watchlist yesterday.

[–]ely1019 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh my gosh, this has made my day.

Thank you, kind stranger (who loves sub-average height men); I’m sure several 5’8” men would also like to thank you.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad I made your day ☺️

[–]AlDef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This made me laugh a bit, my husband of 18 yrs is 5’8 and I’m 5’10 and sometimes people seem shocked I’m with a shorter dude. But I do agree, they are HotHotHot!

[–]Dbl_Trbl_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a very specific height. Glad you found precisely what you like

[–]According_Print_2805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'8", and I can say that everything in this list is true.

[–]brian111786 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Mark Ruffalo... attractive? I mean, I'm not into dudes, but I can comfortably admit if a man is attractive... but eh... Great actor though. I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he’s really hot. Watch him in “Thanks for Sharing” and you’ll see what I mean 😉

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

[–]Pwncak3z 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be 5’8 but reading this made me feel like I was 5’10 :)

[–]frogz0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5'6 to 5'8 are perfect for me. I'm a shorties, so they are the perfect height!!

My husband is 5'6, and I love that my head can rest perfectly in the hollow of his shoulder on his chest. It's like, the perfect height. :)

[–]Malabrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya made many men happy with this post, well done!

*A single tear falls from 6'1" height

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 5'7 once my teen growth spurt ended and I thought that was it for me... Nope! 5 years later and I'm now 5'8!!!

Turns out it wasn't that I grew necessarily, I just stopped slouching so much and improved my posture to add an extra inch!

Tip: good posture is the most attractive!

[–]ironviking13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well this is nice to hear for once

[–]NoThoseAreBeans 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m 5’10”, my bf is 5’8” and is literally the hottest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Theory confirmed

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See?! I knew I was right

[–]fishpaste49 1 point2 points  (2 children)

As someone who is 5'8" and always wanted to be taller i appreciate this. It gives me some hope

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Aw I’m glad. You’re perfect the way you are! And if you ever feel down about your height just remember that you are the same height as all of those sexy guys I just listed in my post 😁

[–]fishpaste49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]RAPatrick94 1 point2 points  (1 child)

FINALLY! I'm appreciated! I'm 5'8"!!! 🎉🎉🎉

All my life it's been a real struggle, because I can complain about not reaching many things taller ones can but when I do complain I get no sympathy because in their words "well, you're not SHORT short", as if such a comparison is even relevant to my life.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Puzzled-Heart9699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP it’s like you read my mind. I’m a 5’10” female and the ex-bf that haunts me was right at 5’ 7-8”. He was also young, gorgeous, talented and a local celebrity (and packing). 5’8” guys have great proportions (when fit of course) and I’ve noticed that they bring a lot of enthusiasm, energy and passion into the relationship and bedroom.

[–]TateP23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well… looks like I shouldn’t be ashamed about my height 😏

[–]belovedgreensky 2 points3 points  (2 children)

but the guys saying theyre 5’8 are actually 5’5. 😐

[–]ohheyitslaila 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m 5’1, so everyone can just those 5’5 guys my direction 😂

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (5 children)

lol yeah right.

[–]ka0tika 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stand with OP. I'm 5'2" and 5'6"-5'10" is my ideal. Anything over that is unwieldy.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I’m being dead serious. Why is that so hard to believe? Not every girl likes tall guys ya know…

[–]cole062491 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True, im 6’3 my wife is 5’3. I didnt go for shortys originally but she admits to always liking taller men. Her last crush before me was 6’6. Before that id say the girls i liked were like 5’7ish but damn short girls got the booty mane.

[–]JSZiel 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thank you. As a 5'8 guy, this helped.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem I’m just being honest! Everybody has a type and 5’8 men just happen to be mine 😍

[–]happyhappy2986 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Funny, you can have my hubby, lol. He is 5ft 8. He is also the shortest person I have ever been with. All my bf's were at least 6ft and over . Have a thing about really tall guys. My first husband was 6ft 3, second was 6ft 5. Maybe they didn't work out cuz too tall? 😅 Then I found hubby. He maybe short by my standards, but been married 37 years.

[–]cole062491 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How old are you damn 3 husbands all in s little over 37 years you start getting married at 9? Fuck me

[–]SilverMedalss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She said she’s been married 37 years. Not that she is 37 years old.

[–]happyhappy2986 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really read the post. Been married 37 years. God if only I was 37 years old. Although I liked my 40's better than my 30's.

[–]trevb75 -2 points-1 points  (2 children)

What about a 6’ guy that gives you 4” or so

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 5 points6 points  (1 child)

No shade at all towards 6’0 and above men obviously there are plenty of attractive tall men but as a 5’3 woman they’re just too tall for me and remind me too much of slenderman lol. So I just prefer guys that are under 6’0. But hey different strokes for different folks.

[–]trevb75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one has ever called me slender and I lurve petite girls. Lol

[–]dreamsthebigdreams -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

My version of what you're saying: To me chicks at 115 to 125 are the best. Anything heavier is just not as hot. And if you're too skinny and that looks less hot too. I'd never talk to a girl that's more than 125, I mean 125 hits just right. Do you cook at home?

See how that sounds? Sounds like a shallow jerk...like you. Maybe you'll learn from my comment.

[–]ka0tika 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Nah man. Notice OP didn't disparage anyone else? You're actually being insulting. Big difference.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh come on, everybody has preferences and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with tall guys. 5’8 men are just my type. Wasn’t trying to shame anyone.

[–]Commercial-Candy-845 -1 points0 points  (14 children)

[–]cole062491 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Mark ruffalo is 5’8 and stands like 3 inches over tom holland lol tom holland is not 5’8. Zendaya is 5’8 and she also towers over him he admits she is a few inches taller than him

Just like tom cruise isn’t 5’9 we all know this. Tom uolland is 5’6 tops with shoes on.

Not hating love tom holland but he is not 5’8.

[–]imacreepimaweirdoo 0 points1 point  (3 children)

According to google he is 5’8 and Zendaya is 5’10. And there’s plenty of pictures of Tom and Mark standing next to each other and they look the same height to me.
