I think 6ft is the asking avg for men in north America. I think the AVG for men in NA is really 5'8-10 but there's def an expectation for desirable men to be 6ft.

When that shifted is a good question tho. I'm guessing mid late 2000s.

Men certainly *believe* that women only want to date men over 6 feet, whether or not that's grounded in reality.

That's true. But its def a very common accepted thought regardless of actual reality.

I know a few women who were very particular about men's heights but they were also extremely picky. Most women don't give a shit about height as long as the men are generally taller. Which is easy to clear at like 5'8 when the avg for women is 5'5-6.

I'm only just 5'4" so yeah, it's very easy for most men to be taller than me. My husband is definitely the second shortest man I've ever been romantically interested in/involved with at 5'9" but I would take the fact that he's my best person in every other way over the 6'4" guy who treated me like absolute shit. In my single days I was generally into very tall men but acting like height is the be all and end all won't override when a man doesn't make you feel good about anything. I fell for my husband because of how he makes me feel (I love being around him), not because of his height.

(Incidentally the shortest man I went on a couple of dates with was a man who was the same height as me and the reason I went off him was he basically tried to force me to let him stay the night and everything that implies when I was studying for my final university exams. He turned nasty when I stood my ground and threatened to drink himself to death and it would be "my" fault.)

And women *believe* men only want to date women who are slim with big tits. Guess why? Because a pretty loud part of them does. Same with women and height requirements.

I honestly think it's like this. It's rare for women to not like men who are tall. You don't see them complaining about height unless the height difference is insane or the guy is extremely tall.

You definitely hear the grumbling when men are too short tho.

There's truth to it, and I don't know if it's "he makes me feel petite, tee hee" or "he's an able protector" or what, but it's also a reason that incels can use for their lack of success with women*. "It's because I'm short!" instead of "it's because my hygiene is bad and I dress like shit and I have never developed good conversational skills," because certainly, many short men have happy romantic lives.

(Or failure to get the GOP nomination. Looking at you, lift-wearing Ron DeSantis.)

i'm 5'4" and for me an inch or two taller would be just fine. i don't like feeling small and i don't like having to crane my neck all the time to look up at someone.

It was a thing in the early 90s, too.
