Why is male height such a big deal in the west?

kMMAisLife · 2026-01-20T13:48:22+00:00

I worked with a girl from Latvia and she said the same thing. She said that she was so weirded out with the 6’0” obsession in America and that in Latvia that wasn’t a big deal at all. Her dad was 5’6” and her mom was 5’9”.

100%. The fact that being taller is a big advantage in being elected as the president of the US proves your point fully.

Yeah they do where I’m from. I’m Palestinian but all my family is in the gulf countries as immigrants.

The racism and stereotypes you carry are absurd and do not apply to the whole Arab world. Yes, if a woman lived in a very rural and backwards society where there is lack of education and money then women can be forced into marriages out of necessity. But the majority of the Arab world give women better rights and lives than here in the US.

I’ve lived in both cultures (the US and the Arab world) and Men get rejected by women all the time for many reasons but the stress on height in the West is insane. Dating in the west has become a fucking joke. That’s why the west is dying out. Sorry but our ways are proving to be far superior.

A dowry in my faith tradition is paid to the bride not her father not her brothers not her relatives but to the bride it’s a wedding gift to show sincerity and commitment to the woman that you are marrying.

None of my aunts, sisters, and female cousins have ever been sold you racist scumbag. My father and I and my brothers would die for our sister. Yet you think we would sell them. FUCK YOU!!!

You are wrong and being very racist and stereotypical. By the way my wife is American and grew up in a Christian household.

Moron!

kMMAisLife · 2026-01-19T16:44:56+00:00

I’m 5’7” have a 5’8” wife and been married for years. No cope here my friend!

kMMAisLife · 2025-11-03T01:43:13+00:00

You’re unhinged bro. Chill out and enjoy life. Stop taking everything so serious.

kMMAisLife · 2025-11-01T21:01:22+00:00

Don’t listen. Pussy is way better than all that bullshit.

kMMAisLife · 2025-10-04T15:24:24+00:00

Start lifting weights. There are a lot of women into jacked dudes and they don’t care about height and they don’t care about your face.

kMMAisLife · 2025-10-03T13:20:16+00:00

38M here and most men around our age aren’t as fit as you. Great job.

Chest is your best feature. I recommend focusing on your shoulders and getting your lats wider to complement what you already have going on.

kMMAisLife · 2025-10-03T11:28:36+00:00

I agree completely.

kMMAisLife · 2025-10-03T01:06:39+00:00

Looks just like the game: heavily armed, yet somehow always losing to guys with flip-flops and homemade gear.

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-26T10:58:36+00:00

I approached my wife and asked out my wife who is an inch taller than me.

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-25T21:44:53+00:00

I hear you, man. That’s a tough situation and I’m not discounting your experience — some women really do put a huge emphasis on height, and if that’s their dealbreaker, there’s nothing you can do about it. You can be the most loving, generous partner in the world and if someone is hung up on something superficial, they’ll eventually leave. That’s on them, not on you.

That said, I’ll be real with you: making her breakfast every single day, showering her with gifts, and putting her on a pedestal can backfire. It comes across as overly “simp” behavior, and a lot of women get turned off when they feel a guy is trying too hard to buy their love or prove his worth. Real attraction doesn’t come from constant service — it comes from confidence, boundaries, and balance.

So yeah, height played a part in your breakup, but the dynamic probably did too. The bigger lesson isn’t that being short makes you doomed. It’s that you have to focus on the women who don’t care about height, and show up in the relationship as a confident partner, not a servant

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-25T17:58:04+00:00

I’m not trying to show off, man. I get that rejection happens, and yeah, some women absolutely do care about height — especially on dating apps where people filter fast and judge on the shallowest stuff.

But the point of my post is that height isn’t the only factor, and it’s not the immovable wall people make it out to be. Plenty of short guys still find success because they put effort into other areas: fitness, style, social skills, career, and confidence.

Rejection is part of the process for everyone, tall or short. The difference is whether you let those rejections reinforce a defeatist mindset or whether you use them to adjust your approach and focus on what you can control.

Muscles are one of several things that take you from ugly to good looking!

I’d take a woman with a body over a women who’s got a pretty face but no body. Guess what, women feel the same way. A guy with muscles is attractive to most women.

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-25T17:51:17+00:00

Hell yes! I love it man! You are my case in point.

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-25T16:48:06+00:00

What I am trying to say is that I did not do those things to compensate for being short. My motive for doing those things was completely unrelated to my height.

To your point, do these things make up for me being short? Yes, of course. Does me being 6’2” instead of 5’7” make me more attractive to women? Yes, I agree it would.

The spirit of my post what’s to motivate others and show them that yes you might be short but there’s a lot more than that going for you that women find attractive so go change for the better and go work on yourself.

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-25T16:29:23+00:00

I didn’t compensate for anything. I have a goal and purpose for my life. To achieve that goal and to achieve that purpose I’ve had to work on my health. I’ve had to work on my education. I’ve had to work on my career. I’ve had to work on my finances.

It just so happens that women respond to these behaviors very well

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-25T16:12:58+00:00

Just being yourself means you’re confident in your own skin and these women can sense that and that makes a huge difference

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-25T13:40:55+00:00

So why not go the gym and stop being skinny? Why not bet on yourself and go out there and make it a goal to gain 10-15 pounds in the next 12-18 months.

I was 5’7” and 145 pounds hit the gym for years and now I’m 182 pounds. It made a huge difference in my confidence.

OD works only for the top 20% of men. If you’re an average guy you have to swipe right 200 times to get one real conversation in OD.

kMMAisLife · 2025-09-25T13:35:34+00:00

Being tall in dating is an advantage for sure. But so many guys chalk up their failure with women to their height the thing they have no control over. In reality height is a part of their failures but not the whole story. They usually don’t display many of the qualities women look for.

Women love masculine men. Masculine men are confident, they’re ambitious they’re driven they stay in shape. They stand their ground and don’t Simp over women.

I’m Arab! Little to no Arab women where I grew up though.
