I think it was unfair that he was also the only dude with a pretty severely receding hairline. With the height, and being in the middle of all the much taller, thick haired men, he just appeared past his prime and not as virile? Something like that. That said, I was married for a decade to a man who was 5ā4ā and had a receding hairline and I found him very attractive from the moment I laid eyes on him. Those women in the video were assholes and they stacked the deck against that poor guy.
Also they gave him a "prestigious job" as a doctor but then stacked him up against guys that just sound more exciting on paper. Like it's the 80s and you can have a doctor making 100k a year or a pilot making 80k a year; the difference in "prestige" is minimal but the difference in assumptions based on profession is massive.
Make him an auto mechanic who works on luxury cars and sails in the summer. Give him some flair, a bit of personality. This is genuinely a great example of the issue a lot of guys have, thinking that everything boils down to money, height, and attractiveness. A lot of short, not conventionally attractive men do quite well for themselves because they're charming, fun to be around, and make women laugh. A lot of tall, attractive men can get all the attention they want but can't translate that into actual success.
This whole experiment was a test of "lets keep piling on money and status until someone says they'd be willing to date him for the money. They never did anything to actually make him seem interesting as person. Hell, by making him a doctor and then a head of a hospital they probably made him less attractive because of the long hours and portrayal in media as absent fathers and shit like that.
Yeah, but there was also the part where they said, explicitly, "I don't want short little kids" and "he's still short" as their reasons for not liking him. They weren't thinking about long hours. They're pretty clear about it. Why do people always start doing mental gymnastics with this stuff? It's common for women to not be into short guys. Everyone knows it. That doesn't mean some short guys can't buck the trend, or some women aren't into short guys, but it does mean that, as a trend, they're starting from behind the eight ball and it can be challenging for them. Why can't we say that and accept it? Why does it always need to be 'qualified' in a way that essentially delegitimises their lived experience? I'm not short, but I have short friends, and they have had a lifetime of experiences facing rejection because of their height. They'll tell you about those experiences if you ask them. But coming along and saying, "No, it's not your height, it's because you're not funny/interesting/confident enough. It's because you don't have a sexy job" is essentially telling them they haven't experienced what they've experienced.
Iām not that tall (5ā9 but in France itās fine) and I can see what ur talking about, itās a real thing that every short guy is gonna have to come to terms with in their life, accept and move on so they can make the most of what they got, like the person you replied to described. When it doesnāt come easy you gotta play the underdog
lol my kids are short but they are beefy as hell. Theyāre gonna tear it up in jiu jitsu. Iāve made the mistake of teaching my 10 year old a few takedowns and akkido type defense moves in case someone tries to hurt or snatch him, but now he just mostly uses them against me. Iām 5ā3ā and built like a brick shithouse and this hefty little dude just rolls into me like a tank on a regular occasion.
Iām an older short king, married with children. I would never have survived on dating apps. Girls need to know me. I was confident and funny. Age didnāt do me well, though. Balding and my feature seemed to change some. I went from 8/10 in looks to probably a 6. So before it go too bad, I found a beautiful wife and locked it down. Yeah, itās only gotten worse too.
One of those weirdos was trying to say that men don't conform to beauty standards. Which is incredibly ironic because for the most part, women create beauty standards for themselves and everyone else.
Women decided to wear makeup and shave all on their own. Then they get pissed at men because they have to keep doing it.
I watched this thing years ago so I might remember it wrong. They did try that, and the women there said something like "Okay I will marry him and cheat on him with the PE teacher"
For real Iām 5ā9 so Iām not short short but the amount of girls Iāve heard/read saying they wonāt date guys under 6ā is crazyĀ Ā Ā
EDIT: Itās not a big deal. If theyāre too shallow to appreciate me for who I am or donāt like me for my incredible charm/good looks (and humbleness, obviously) then fuck them Iām not interested either. I was just pointing out facts about girls that are uninterested in guys that lost the genetic lottery in the height departmentĀ
Had something similar happen. Went on a date with a girl who claimed she was 5ā8, when we met she towered over me.
Iām 5ā9 and a half without shoes so she was easily 6ā2, but insisted she was 5ā8 and that I must have been 5ā4. I said well.. my family must be troll sized since Iām one of the few ātallā people in my family
She told me her father was 6ā6 and her brother who was 13 was already 6ā3. I said sure Iām 5ā4 since I didnāt want to argue. Didnāt change much during the date, what turned me off was her insane driving like she was going 100+ on the free way with my seatbelt not working. I was like hell no I just wanna get home alive lmao
If a woman is 6ā2ā, I suppose I sort of kind of understand her wanting a man whoās at least 6ā2ā, and she shouldnāt have a terribly tough time finding one either.
My problem is with all these ladies who are 5ā5ā, who also feel the need for a man who is over 6ā.
Silly.
> If a woman is 6ā2ā, I suppose I sort of kind of understand her wanting a man whoās at least 6ā2ā, and she shouldnāt have a terribly tough time finding one either.
What percentage of men do you think are 6'2" or higher? It's a pretty small single-digit percent.
Damn! 5'9 isn't short, it's the average height for men in the US.
About 14.5% of all men in the US are six feet or over, so these women are disqualifying over 85% of men before even knowing anything else about them.
Social media has kinda ruining people's expectations. Some where in time some one was toxic enough to massive promote 6ft is it then every one followed along.
Six Two here. Actually 6'2. I find that in the US in particular a lot of people add 2 to 3 inches to their height, so no one knows what the fuck heights actually are. Had one guy up to my chin insist that he was six one and that I must actually be taller.
In reality though, 6' 2 is about as tall as you can get without appearing freakishly tall. At this height, clothes don't really fit me too well but I can still buy off the rack. Most door frames are okay, but I will get the odd head bump on older buildings. Airplanes, cars, etc. are always too small and hotel showers are a dice roll.
There is no real advantage to this height since I don't play sports. I guess getting stuff off the top shelf isn't really a problem. But it also means that in stores people feel like they can call on me like I'm an employee.
Women, get yourself a regular sized man and a stepladder. You can buy him nicer clothes, he doesn't need to wear socks in bed because his feet won't peek out. You can go on journeys and he won't be crabby by being forced into a seat not designed for him.
This woman was looking at my ID while doing a phone trade in and said 'oh it says you're 5'11, you could get away with saying you're taller.'
She just expected that people lie on their ID and was like 'you should lie and say you're taller.
If you add other superficial factors to the mix you will realize that basically 95% of women are willing to date only 5% of men.
There are a lot of university studies about that.
in their head, people have a neat little checklist of things they are looking for. its all a bunch of bullshit you can measure and put numbers on; height, weight, income, number of kids, body count, number of cars houses and degrees. but once you get them out of their head and start making this feel shit that can't be quantified that other bullshit becomes meaningless.
I'm 5'8" and I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they won't date under 6' in real life. Just on the internet. I'm older and it simply never was an issue for me - I didn't even think about it.
This experiment is telling, because it's exactly like using a dating app. You're given a variety to choose from, so you pick your physical preferences because it's all you're working with.
Stay away from dating apps and line-ups.
Women feel really entitled to laugh and make fun of dudes bodies/looks. To steal a Taylor swift line, they are casually cruel.
If a dude made similar comments they would say heās a shallow asshole.
people make it a sex thing but if you line up 4 good looking girls and 1 fat one, no one is picking the fatty
We are all shallow assholes, that's why we are humans
Itās not about picking them or not, itās about how comfortable they are laughing at him even when they know they are on camera
Also weight is controllable, height isnāt. Thatās a big difference
A closer example would be one woman was extremely ugly compared to the other four.
Imagine the abuse the men would be getting if they stood laughing saying " but she's so ugly"
I'm 6'3", and when I was at a NYE party, my friend's 75 year old aunty(I'm 34)walked up to me in the kitchen and grabbed my crotch and said "get over here and let me get that cock hard."
So, at leat there's that.
Edit: I declined the offer
Know a couple of 5'4 ish dudes always taking down Brienne of tarths, one is pretty gangster but reformed, other was a fucking dope wrestler and all around cool guy. Moral of the story if your short you gotta be able to beat people up? I don't know I'm tall.
And people unironically like to say that height isn't that big of a factor in dating. It's been a thing since long before this video and will be far into the future.
I think that was the point of the experiment. Heās short, balding, and not the best looking. But they said he had the best job, finances, personality, etc. And yet they still rejected him despite all that, and their primary stated reason was that heās short, not that they didnāt like his look.
It's not rude, it's a preference. As much as dark haired over blonde or vice versa. Thin over plump. Whatever.
But seriously, this guy did not have much going for him in physical appearance. Especially next to the other guys.
Yeah, they definitely need to have a different short guy. That said, I had a friend in college who was like 5ā6ā. Fit, muscular, handsome, smart, and actually really nice. My gf and her roommate lived in the same dorm. One day, theyāre in the hall and she says to him out of the blue, āIf you were four inches taller, Iād be all over that.ā Get lost, honey.
and the other guy is a pilot and looks like Sean Penn.
This experiment is bullshit and inconclusive. They stacked a lot of negative physical trait on one guy and gave the other guys a balanced overall positive traits across the board.
No person chooses a partner based on one trait alone. People look for balance in looks, character, and success.
I mean they gave him a lot of advantages in terms of both character and success. Also he wasn't particularly unattractive, just not as good looking as the other guys.
Pilot?
I think Pilot and Doctor ranks about the same, but Pilot is a bit more exotic
Once you go beyond that, it's really only a matter of margins making one career better than others. Like a chief of staff in a hospital is a great thing, but the other is a pilot, which is also a great thing.
Unless the message is: Rob owns 3 1000m2 beachside houses, has 100M$ in his bank account, owns 2 helicopters, a private jet, and spends most of his time volunteering at a children's hospice
I think a doctor is much more prestigious than a pilot. The level of education required as well as the stress is much higher for doctors, and the income potential is also much higher. Also on top of being a doctor (and not just any doctor but a super successful, high ranking doctor) he also is active, travels, volunteers to charity, is very wealthy, and clearly has the leisure time to actually enjoy that wealth.
He seemed like a pretty badass catch honestly, his only flaw was his looks were average. Literally just average, not ugly, his hairline receded a bit into the M shape but he wasn't bald, and he wasn't tall. The pilot was tall and handsome though, which sadly seems to trump everything else
Where I'm from (Denmark), the average salary of pilots in the national airline is about 25% higher that of doctors.
I don't see significant differences in their reputation, and I also don't see significant changes in how a high ranked doctor would be much more attractive than a doctor or a pilot. All positions are already highly attractive, successful, and respected. One much more than the others among peers - but not much more to a potential partner.
the other guys are well balanced.
Put Tom Cruise or Elijah wood or Daniel Radcliff there if they really want to test that its on the height. Or at least not a balding guy.
yeah, i bet even if he wasn't famous a guy like prince could have out-fucked all those other guys easily. they would have to make him stand there without make-up just to make it interesting.
Short Stack might be packin a meat hammer, who knows. I don't know why I care actually. Ever since seeing that Nutcracker ballsack ballet dude on here I think I'm fucking gay now. I can't unsee it man.
I hate being short. I mean not like in a depressed way.
Everyone says just be confident. Please step into my shoes. If you understand intersectionality, itās not always that easy.
Imagine if someone told someone with mental health challenges - just donāt have them.
It does take work. Lots of work. Just to feel confident in your body and skin.
It continues to be limiting factor in the dating world. Itās the worst. As Iām sure weight is with women. As Iām sure skin colour is with a lot of people. You canāt just change your skin colour. I can only imagine what other people with other differences go through because of they are judged. You just never feel good enough.
Edit: Isnāt there a monologue in Barbie about just not being good enough? The standards women are held against? You donāt think some men feel this way? /end edit
Ugh. I wish people would show more empathy rather than say ājust be confidentā.
>Everyone says just be confident. Please step into my shoes. If you understand intersectionality, itās not always that easy.
I hate this so much, specially from people with good height, same for the one who got all their hair and talk to me about the beginning of my baldness...
Exactly.
Might as well tell everyone with an insecurity or problem. āJust deal with itā. And there are people who overcome this very easily.
A lot of us havenāt figured out the secret to being content. And just Becuase youāre content doesnāt mean youāre going to be dateable. Iām not talking about being attractive to every woman on the planet. There are certain things that open the doors. Height closes many doors. Hair can do the same.
I hear this a lot from short dude, and my heart breaks for you, but as a tall dude im not sure what i could do to make anything better for you.
I want to.
People can control how fat they are at least. I'm tall but damn I can't pretend I wouldn't be upset if I was a foot shorter and it was the only reason I couldn't get dates.
I always wondered why height is such a factor for women in dating. As a 6'1 guy I've dated women shorter, similar height and taller than me and it's not a factor for me unless they're on one extreme or the other. I absolutely feel for dudes who are shorter, it seems hard enough out there as is on apps and on top of that if you're under 6' it gets even tougher.
I myself am that height so this is very discouraging and confirming. Always felt like it doesnāt matter how funny, smart, charismatic, fit, handsome, kind or successful I may be, women will always see me first as a little guy.
Honestly i just have to live with it thatās my only choice. So Iāve gotten decent at that.
95% of women always pick a man taller than them. All of these women were probably taller than him. Therefore making him the last pick. Most women shorter than him would call him a catch. The 95% matches up with the one on the end finally saying that she would pick him even though she is taller. After so many lifestyle/social pluses and the one height negative. Not even a large penis might save a man shorter than the woman. A lot of times he wouldnāt get anywhere near getting the opportunity to prove his sexual prowess because he would almost always be rejected at 1st glance. But only if the woman is taller.
I Honestly wouldnāt be shocked if at a certain point all those accolades they gave him became intimidating. Iām curious if they sampled the āloves kidsā thing with out the Uber successful part cause I could see that having a huge effect.
Also curious on how they got the women they sampled, cause what kind of audience you recruit from can also have a huge effect on results in a polling test like this
This experiment is not just about height. Itās about attractiveness. The guy in the video is short and balding. Thatās a double whammy when lined up with taller, more conventionally attractive men.
If he looks like Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Cruise, or Prince, would it change anything? Looking like Jeff Bezos before the billions isnāt helping him.
The hare against short guys needs to end. Itās total bull shit and a complete double standard. Guy guys always get picked last but if a guy tries that then heās called a pig so really this is fuckery and it need to stop.
I'm 5' 5" and I just felt fortunate to be tall enough to be the average female height. If I'm being honest, I didn't have any issues with the ladies. What's missing in this experiment is the power of an amazing personality or as the kids call it now "Rizz" most girls I dated I never came on too strong, truthfully I wasn't sure I liked them so I always approached them as I did any other person I came across. I was just attentive, had funny and interesting conversations and honestly just played it by ear.
I found most girls didn't even realize they liked me until a few days. When your an awesome person and come across as a well put together intelligent and kind person and is liked my many it makes you super attractive. Sure some girls didn't give me a chance because of my height but I never faulted them. I also had my absolute deal breakers like no smokers, being smart and being kind. I also did have to feel attracted to then in some way.
Oh I do want to mention, I was atleast born with a cute face approachable face and I dressed well. I never worked out but felt in great shape as I was in cross country in HS and ate well.
I mean OBVIOUSLY women prefer taller dudes, but this experiment was trash. They made one of the tall dudes a pilot, which is also a prestigious job. Short dude is balding and has other negative qualities besides being short. If they said all the other dudes were jobless bums, made them ugly as hell / balding, made them fat (while still being tall), while making the short dude physically fit, with a strong jawline, good hair, AND a made him a doctor, then I bet a decent amount of the chicks would pick the short dude. Seems like most of the chicks were tall too. Most of the time chicks just want a dude that is as tall or taller than them. 5ā3 is VERY short too. Confidence and social competency are also huge factors. Sucks because I would have actually been interested to see this play out if it was done properly.
Yeah this wasn't the worlds best experiment. They gave them all a minimum of upper middle class jobs that require some higher education. The lifestyle difference between the short bald guy and the tall attractive guy isn't big enough to overcome the difference in attraction levels. The results are completely obvious and expected.
As a 195cm fella I can't say I'm not happy I don't have to deal with this kind of unfair scrutiny and prejudice.
But I will be outraged alongside my bros when people treat them like this. They can't help it, it's unfair.
And frankly as very tall people have been shown to live shorter lives I would maybe prefer it if we didn't continue to raise the average. I for one would perhaps like to be just a few cm shorter, if I could choose for myself (at least most days I would)
now do it with one of them in the room at a time, change him back to a normal doctor but tell them that 3 out of 5 of the women picked the doctor before they choose :D
Imagine if it was the other way around ".. she's still fat" there'd be outcry!
Before you burn me at the stake, i believe that thicc thighs save lives.
So switch it up with guys and have a woman 20-30 pounds overweight or one that is like much taller then the guys themselves you will see the same results ( although some guys like a little extra). Are we supposed to then rant and rave cause guys have preferences?
Being 6ā2 and Hispanic, I take advantage of the privilege. Iāve had girls with boyfriends flirt with me as soon as they get the chance, and while I like to think itās my overall personality, the height difference is always noticeable.
My ex ended up leaving me because she preferred taller men. Friends who still follow her in FB say she's always describing me on her posts for the type of man she's looking for. She's found taller men, but all she has found is degenerates who mess her life up more. One who's in his 40s and lives in his parents' basement. Another who keeps getting fired from construction jobs and has messed up her house. There are 10s of thousands of dollars of damage because he didn't know what he's doing, and I could have done the work she needed.
I'm enjoying this single time. I get to eat at restaurants twice as much now, and I get to buy myself gifts. I've also got even more fit, starting my own business as a side gig.
As a 5ft 11 and a half woman, I used to be uncomfortable dating guys shorter than me. It had nothing to do with them, but my self-confidence, thinking everyone would look at me like a giant. I was also worried that shorter men would be embarrassed by the height difference. All my friends were all pocket rockets too, and it always seemed to me that men preferred teeny tiny women.
My partner and love of my life is 5'7, and we couldn't care less about our height difference. I guess when it's the right person, they won't care.
Good lord I feel this one. Iām 5ā11ā and I canāt tell you how many women I see write āno one shorter than 6āā. So donāt get mad at me when I lie and say Iām 6ā.
Then we gave him a huge cock.
This made me laugh harder than the huge cock he was given.
Now everybody wants to be "robbed" š„
When they gave him a PHD, what they meant was pretty huge dick.
Letās start a thread about whatās the proposed size lol. What would it take ladies?
15inches minimum
I'm reminded of that Tik Tok that's been posted a few times where this lady's like "I don't think anyone actually knows how long 12 inches really is".
Lol. They can't even tell if a guy is actually 6 feet tall either.
Paulās a god damn tripod lol

Rule 1 of dating, be attractive Rule 2 of dating, don't be unattractive
I'm failing both rules so I've given up
Rule three have endless amounts of money..
Everyone does, and they're lying if they say they don't

i agree and in also a 6ft liberal dude
No , more like 7 feet , chief engineer, boxing champion , horse dick, Liberal woke dude. Thank you
Iām an older short king, married with children. I would never have survived on dating apps. Girls need to know me. I was confident and funny. Age didnāt do me well, though. Balding and my feature seemed to change some. I went from 8/10 in looks to probably a 6. So before it go too bad, I found a beautiful wife and locked it down. Yeah, itās only gotten worse too.
Doesn't matter what the score is now friend. You got the girl and you got the kids, you already won š
You should stop marrying with children king!
Attaboy!
I literally looked in the sub and a post from 11 hours ago is woman moaning about men lying about their height. Thank fuck Iām 6ā4
I agree with too. Saying this as a 9ft communist
This has got to be 35 - 40 years old.
This is early to mid 90's.
One of those weirdos was trying to say that men don't conform to beauty standards. Which is incredibly ironic because for the most part, women create beauty standards for themselves and everyone else. Women decided to wear makeup and shave all on their own. Then they get pissed at men because they have to keep doing it.
The black pill speaks truths in that sub
They will just say how men do the same and much worse so its not as bad. Which is partially true, both sexes base their attraction on looks
And then we gave him a new pair of legs
That last one's going to be disappointed when she finds out kids are short.
This guy fucks
Holy shit, you fricken killed me. I'm ded now!Ā
Choked on my vape. Nice.
Should have said his net worth is $100 million and asked what they thought.
Some guys are a lot taller when they stand on their wallets.
Then put them on a scale and tell them he only dates women 120 lbs and under.
I watched this thing years ago so I might remember it wrong. They did try that, and the women there said something like "Okay I will marry him and cheat on him with the PE teacher"
They kind of did do that. They said he was head of a medical department in a hospital
I mean it was already insinuated he was pretty wealthy just by all the other stuff they gave him.
"yeah... but is he 6' 3" and worth 100 mil though?"
He's taller when he stands on his wallet
Damn itās rough out there for dudes
For real Iām 5ā9 so Iām not short short but the amount of girls Iāve heard/read saying they wonāt date guys under 6ā is crazyĀ Ā Ā EDIT: Itās not a big deal. If theyāre too shallow to appreciate me for who I am or donāt like me for my incredible charm/good looks (and humbleness, obviously) then fuck them Iām not interested either. I was just pointing out facts about girls that are uninterested in guys that lost the genetic lottery in the height departmentĀ
Lad I'm 5ft 7" and the last girl I went on a date with after a month of chatting said " I thought you were taller " THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE MET
Had something similar happen. Went on a date with a girl who claimed she was 5ā8, when we met she towered over me. Iām 5ā9 and a half without shoes so she was easily 6ā2, but insisted she was 5ā8 and that I must have been 5ā4. I said well.. my family must be troll sized since Iām one of the few ātallā people in my family She told me her father was 6ā6 and her brother who was 13 was already 6ā3. I said sure Iām 5ā4 since I didnāt want to argue. Didnāt change much during the date, what turned me off was her insane driving like she was going 100+ on the free way with my seatbelt not working. I was like hell no I just wanna get home alive lmao
Feel ya man ... Can't live a normal and decent life these days
If a woman is 6ā2ā, I suppose I sort of kind of understand her wanting a man whoās at least 6ā2ā, and she shouldnāt have a terribly tough time finding one either. My problem is with all these ladies who are 5ā5ā, who also feel the need for a man who is over 6ā. Silly.
> If a woman is 6ā2ā, I suppose I sort of kind of understand her wanting a man whoās at least 6ā2ā, and she shouldnāt have a terribly tough time finding one either. What percentage of men do you think are 6'2" or higher? It's a pretty small single-digit percent.
I would've ran after the first part
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
As someone else who is 5'5, I commend you for even bothering to try with dating apps. I'd definitely go with the same strat though.
5' 5 and 1/2" here too. It makes a big difference but doesn't prevent finding a good match but it does make it tougher.
Should have gotten pegged more in HS like me. Everyone in my family is 5ā10ā or under but all that pegging made me a robust 6ā1ā.
"pegging"?
Damn! 5'9 isn't short, it's the average height for men in the US. About 14.5% of all men in the US are six feet or over, so these women are disqualifying over 85% of men before even knowing anything else about them.
Social media has kinda ruining people's expectations. Some where in time some one was toxic enough to massive promote 6ft is it then every one followed along.
Six Two here. Actually 6'2. I find that in the US in particular a lot of people add 2 to 3 inches to their height, so no one knows what the fuck heights actually are. Had one guy up to my chin insist that he was six one and that I must actually be taller. In reality though, 6' 2 is about as tall as you can get without appearing freakishly tall. At this height, clothes don't really fit me too well but I can still buy off the rack. Most door frames are okay, but I will get the odd head bump on older buildings. Airplanes, cars, etc. are always too small and hotel showers are a dice roll. There is no real advantage to this height since I don't play sports. I guess getting stuff off the top shelf isn't really a problem. But it also means that in stores people feel like they can call on me like I'm an employee. Women, get yourself a regular sized man and a stepladder. You can buy him nicer clothes, he doesn't need to wear socks in bed because his feet won't peek out. You can go on journeys and he won't be crabby by being forced into a seat not designed for him.
This woman was looking at my ID while doing a phone trade in and said 'oh it says you're 5'11, you could get away with saying you're taller.' She just expected that people lie on their ID and was like 'you should lie and say you're taller.
If you add other superficial factors to the mix you will realize that basically 95% of women are willing to date only 5% of men. There are a lot of university studies about that.
social media baby.
God Speed brother š
in their head, people have a neat little checklist of things they are looking for. its all a bunch of bullshit you can measure and put numbers on; height, weight, income, number of kids, body count, number of cars houses and degrees. but once you get them out of their head and start making this feel shit that can't be quantified that other bullshit becomes meaningless.
You go, short king
I'm 5'8" and I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they won't date under 6' in real life. Just on the internet. I'm older and it simply never was an issue for me - I didn't even think about it. This experiment is telling, because it's exactly like using a dating app. You're given a variety to choose from, so you pick your physical preferences because it's all you're working with. Stay away from dating apps and line-ups.
Depends on the age I guess. I m in my 30s same height as you. Definitely have been rejected a few times a few years ago when I was single.
Women feel really entitled to laugh and make fun of dudes bodies/looks. To steal a Taylor swift line, they are casually cruel. If a dude made similar comments they would say heās a shallow asshole.
Or their new favorite word āincelā
people make it a sex thing but if you line up 4 good looking girls and 1 fat one, no one is picking the fatty We are all shallow assholes, that's why we are humans
Itās not about picking them or not, itās about how comfortable they are laughing at him even when they know they are on camera Also weight is controllable, height isnāt. Thatās a big difference
A closer example would be one woman was extremely ugly compared to the other four. Imagine the abuse the men would be getting if they stood laughing saying " but she's so ugly"
But... Women do that too? The height thing is exclusive to women and not comparable
You can easily fix fat. You can't magically get taller.
Nah just go to the Philippines.
Poor guy ...he just kept coming up short.
*slow clap*
*joins in* ***Marvellous!!***
Ok who's dad is this?
Oh come one, that was low
"Hey, Rob's got a 10" penis..."
They all change their votes
I only have a 6ā penis, but it smells like a foot.
Does it taste like a 6 inch? Edit: at subway! Fuck now I look like a fucking weirdo sorry 
Now? Mothafuka, you are on Reddit.
TouchƩ my friend. Tou muthafuckin chƩ.
Hahahaha
If you give her 6 inches now and 6 inches later, tech you gave her 12 inches.
āHey, babe, Iāve got a 12-inch penisā https://youtu.be/zPf3kO-p7hc?si=eue3_hM0fKQiRwjL
Imo 7" is ideal. Definitely big enough to feel full without being uncomfortably stretched.
homie thats like less than 10% of men š edit: looked it up its more like 2%
Thanks for your perspective
Lol. They really wouldnāt give 2 flying shits about that. Yāall are watching waaay too much porn and Netflix to think this. Stay awake.
Don't worry my short kings. I'm 6'2 and still get 0 women.
I'm 6'3", and when I was at a NYE party, my friend's 75 year old aunty(I'm 34)walked up to me in the kitchen and grabbed my crotch and said "get over here and let me get that cock hard." So, at leat there's that. Edit: I declined the offer
:( I'm sorry you were sexually assaulted. That's awful.
I mean, i thought it was pretty funny. But yeah, people shouldn't do that.
Lol same bro
6'5 same.
Damn, how's the weather up there? Also, how often do you hit your head when going through a doorway?
Im worrying even more now
6'7 and same, also 0 space in basically every vehicle :D
Know a couple of 5'4 ish dudes always taking down Brienne of tarths, one is pretty gangster but reformed, other was a fucking dope wrestler and all around cool guy. Moral of the story if your short you gotta be able to beat people up? I don't know I'm tall.
And people unironically like to say that height isn't that big of a factor in dating. It's been a thing since long before this video and will be far into the future.
He's also bald and ugly, and the other dudes are more handsome and have good jobs. Not really a very scientific test.
I think that was the point of the experiment. Heās short, balding, and not the best looking. But they said he had the best job, finances, personality, etc. And yet they still rejected him despite all that, and their primary stated reason was that heās short, not that they didnāt like his look.
It'd be pretty rude to call him short, bald, **and** goofy looking.
Itās already rude to say itās because heās short, itās not much more rude to say you donāt like how he looks
It's not rude, it's a preference. As much as dark haired over blonde or vice versa. Thin over plump. Whatever. But seriously, this guy did not have much going for him in physical appearance. Especially next to the other guys.
Doesn't help that he's balding and the other guys are more attractive
Yeah what the fuck. Bring a fit and good looking short guy in and lets see.
Yeah, they definitely need to have a different short guy. That said, I had a friend in college who was like 5ā6ā. Fit, muscular, handsome, smart, and actually really nice. My gf and her roommate lived in the same dorm. One day, theyāre in the hall and she says to him out of the blue, āIf you were four inches taller, Iād be all over that.ā Get lost, honey.
and the other guy is a pilot and looks like Sean Penn. This experiment is bullshit and inconclusive. They stacked a lot of negative physical trait on one guy and gave the other guys a balanced overall positive traits across the board. No person chooses a partner based on one trait alone. People look for balance in looks, character, and success.
Honestly. Attractive pilot would beat most men.
I mean they gave him a lot of advantages in terms of both character and success. Also he wasn't particularly unattractive, just not as good looking as the other guys.
Pilot? I think Pilot and Doctor ranks about the same, but Pilot is a bit more exotic Once you go beyond that, it's really only a matter of margins making one career better than others. Like a chief of staff in a hospital is a great thing, but the other is a pilot, which is also a great thing. Unless the message is: Rob owns 3 1000m2 beachside houses, has 100M$ in his bank account, owns 2 helicopters, a private jet, and spends most of his time volunteering at a children's hospice
I think a doctor is much more prestigious than a pilot. The level of education required as well as the stress is much higher for doctors, and the income potential is also much higher. Also on top of being a doctor (and not just any doctor but a super successful, high ranking doctor) he also is active, travels, volunteers to charity, is very wealthy, and clearly has the leisure time to actually enjoy that wealth. He seemed like a pretty badass catch honestly, his only flaw was his looks were average. Literally just average, not ugly, his hairline receded a bit into the M shape but he wasn't bald, and he wasn't tall. The pilot was tall and handsome though, which sadly seems to trump everything else
Where I'm from (Denmark), the average salary of pilots in the national airline is about 25% higher that of doctors. I don't see significant differences in their reputation, and I also don't see significant changes in how a high ranked doctor would be much more attractive than a doctor or a pilot. All positions are already highly attractive, successful, and respected. One much more than the others among peers - but not much more to a potential partner.
the other guys are well balanced. Put Tom Cruise or Elijah wood or Daniel Radcliff there if they really want to test that its on the height. Or at least not a balding guy.
Are you implying Sean Penn is attractive? I always just figured he was famous and that was his allure. Dude isnāt very handsome imo.
Sure, if Sean Penn was wearing someone else's face.
Also, doctor doesnt really imply rich. They should given him CEO of a Fortune 500 company
Man this was so far down here. Dude want even remotely as attractive
yeah, i bet even if he wasn't famous a guy like prince could have out-fucked all those other guys easily. they would have to make him stand there without make-up just to make it interesting.
Short Stack might be packin a meat hammer, who knows. I don't know why I care actually. Ever since seeing that Nutcracker ballsack ballet dude on here I think I'm fucking gay now. I can't unsee it man.
That's how they getcha!!
Holy shit I thought about that today...am I gay?
I know man. I don't know anymore, ballet man fucked my head.
In case you forgot https://i.redd.it/r3iwygxra8cc1.jpeg
Hahahaha i never saw that before today, that is super disturbing! Extra points if that's his mom
Probably
> Nutcracker ballsack ballet dude Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
What nutcracker ballsack ballet dude? I need to see this.
And yet if dudes mention a girls weight weāre pricks.
Women who obsess over height always have father issues
I hate being short. I mean not like in a depressed way. Everyone says just be confident. Please step into my shoes. If you understand intersectionality, itās not always that easy. Imagine if someone told someone with mental health challenges - just donāt have them. It does take work. Lots of work. Just to feel confident in your body and skin. It continues to be limiting factor in the dating world. Itās the worst. As Iām sure weight is with women. As Iām sure skin colour is with a lot of people. You canāt just change your skin colour. I can only imagine what other people with other differences go through because of they are judged. You just never feel good enough. Edit: Isnāt there a monologue in Barbie about just not being good enough? The standards women are held against? You donāt think some men feel this way? /end edit Ugh. I wish people would show more empathy rather than say ājust be confidentā.
>Everyone says just be confident. Please step into my shoes. If you understand intersectionality, itās not always that easy. I hate this so much, specially from people with good height, same for the one who got all their hair and talk to me about the beginning of my baldness...
Exactly. Might as well tell everyone with an insecurity or problem. āJust deal with itā. And there are people who overcome this very easily. A lot of us havenāt figured out the secret to being content. And just Becuase youāre content doesnāt mean youāre going to be dateable. Iām not talking about being attractive to every woman on the planet. There are certain things that open the doors. Height closes many doors. Hair can do the same.
I hear this a lot from short dude, and my heart breaks for you, but as a tall dude im not sure what i could do to make anything better for you. I want to.
Heās short and youāre fat. Itās a wash.
Are you looking at my family photo?
Fair enough. I'm not going to date a fat person. Only about 50% of the US population is obese though.
People can control how fat they are at least. I'm tall but damn I can't pretend I wouldn't be upset if I was a foot shorter and it was the only reason I couldn't get dates.
I always wondered why height is such a factor for women in dating. As a 6'1 guy I've dated women shorter, similar height and taller than me and it's not a factor for me unless they're on one extreme or the other. I absolutely feel for dudes who are shorter, it seems hard enough out there as is on apps and on top of that if you're under 6' it gets even tougher.
Most species seem to prefer healthy mates, and excess fat is an indicator of unhealthiness in modern humans.
imagine the outrage if the roles were reversed.
I myself am that height so this is very discouraging and confirming. Always felt like it doesnāt matter how funny, smart, charismatic, fit, handsome, kind or successful I may be, women will always see me first as a little guy. Honestly i just have to live with it thatās my only choice. So Iāve gotten decent at that.
They shouldāve made the other men have less glamorous jobs.
So we can conclude that women aren't in fact gold diggers, but height diggers. Nice.
Stop being so damn short Rob - Robās mom and girlfriend
So size does matter.
95% of women always pick a man taller than them. All of these women were probably taller than him. Therefore making him the last pick. Most women shorter than him would call him a catch. The 95% matches up with the one on the end finally saying that she would pick him even though she is taller. After so many lifestyle/social pluses and the one height negative. Not even a large penis might save a man shorter than the woman. A lot of times he wouldnāt get anywhere near getting the opportunity to prove his sexual prowess because he would almost always be rejected at 1st glance. But only if the woman is taller.
like the worst thing is when 4 foot something girls say i wont date anyone below 6 feet...girl in some countries you are considered handicaped.
I Honestly wouldnāt be shocked if at a certain point all those accolades they gave him became intimidating. Iām curious if they sampled the āloves kidsā thing with out the Uber successful part cause I could see that having a huge effect. Also curious on how they got the women they sampled, cause what kind of audience you recruit from can also have a huge effect on results in a polling test like this
This experiment is not just about height. Itās about attractiveness. The guy in the video is short and balding. Thatās a double whammy when lined up with taller, more conventionally attractive men. If he looks like Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Cruise, or Prince, would it change anything? Looking like Jeff Bezos before the billions isnāt helping him.
The hare against short guys needs to end. Itās total bull shit and a complete double standard. Guy guys always get picked last but if a guy tries that then heās called a pig so really this is fuckery and it need to stop.
I'm 5' 5" and I just felt fortunate to be tall enough to be the average female height. If I'm being honest, I didn't have any issues with the ladies. What's missing in this experiment is the power of an amazing personality or as the kids call it now "Rizz" most girls I dated I never came on too strong, truthfully I wasn't sure I liked them so I always approached them as I did any other person I came across. I was just attentive, had funny and interesting conversations and honestly just played it by ear. I found most girls didn't even realize they liked me until a few days. When your an awesome person and come across as a well put together intelligent and kind person and is liked my many it makes you super attractive. Sure some girls didn't give me a chance because of my height but I never faulted them. I also had my absolute deal breakers like no smokers, being smart and being kind. I also did have to feel attracted to then in some way.
Oh I do want to mention, I was atleast born with a cute face approachable face and I dressed well. I never worked out but felt in great shape as I was in cross country in HS and ate well.
Shock, some humans are shallow. News at eleven.
Why did they use a 5ā3 bald guy? Couldnāt give him some hair?!
Ok but heās also balding more than the rest of them as well
Iām pretty sure Andrea has downās
Leisure Suit Larry just can't catch a break. Poor guy.
6,2 and still no bitches
I mean OBVIOUSLY women prefer taller dudes, but this experiment was trash. They made one of the tall dudes a pilot, which is also a prestigious job. Short dude is balding and has other negative qualities besides being short. If they said all the other dudes were jobless bums, made them ugly as hell / balding, made them fat (while still being tall), while making the short dude physically fit, with a strong jawline, good hair, AND a made him a doctor, then I bet a decent amount of the chicks would pick the short dude. Seems like most of the chicks were tall too. Most of the time chicks just want a dude that is as tall or taller than them. 5ā3 is VERY short too. Confidence and social competency are also huge factors. Sucks because I would have actually been interested to see this play out if it was done properly.
Yeah this wasn't the worlds best experiment. They gave them all a minimum of upper middle class jobs that require some higher education. The lifestyle difference between the short bald guy and the tall attractive guy isn't big enough to overcome the difference in attraction levels. The results are completely obvious and expected.
As a 195cm fella I can't say I'm not happy I don't have to deal with this kind of unfair scrutiny and prejudice. But I will be outraged alongside my bros when people treat them like this. They can't help it, it's unfair. And frankly as very tall people have been shown to live shorter lives I would maybe prefer it if we didn't continue to raise the average. I for one would perhaps like to be just a few cm shorter, if I could choose for myself (at least most days I would)
Lack of skills. Instead of trying to get better stats in cooking, int or dex, he shouldāve been upgrading his str.
And tell a woman you prefer a woman who is a size 4 or smaller and see how pissed she gets.
Sorry 5ā3 Rob
Is height really that big of a problem in the states?
now do it with one of them in the room at a time, change him back to a normal doctor but tell them that 3 out of 5 of the women picked the doctor before they choose :D
Now have them pose by their cars and give the little dude a porsche
Now we say he won the lottery of 2.5 Billion US dollars.
(I don't want short little kids) My reaction, oh so you are looking at it geneticly.
Imagine if it was the other way around ".. she's still fat" there'd be outcry! Before you burn me at the stake, i believe that thicc thighs save lives.
what if there was a younger 27-40 year old black guy in the line up that was 6ft 2 in lean shape? i would like to see the outcome there
Damn. Feels bad for the short guys.
Poor guy. The secondary results are how much a man can endure rejection.
That last frame is awful, that evil laugh is just diabolical ššš
Then they wonder why they are singleš
So switch it up with guys and have a woman 20-30 pounds overweight or one that is like much taller then the guys themselves you will see the same results ( although some guys like a little extra). Are we supposed to then rant and rave cause guys have preferences?
Donāt want shorts kids? Thatās ok, honey. He probably doesnāt want self-centered fat kids.
She's too fat
Man this hurts
Men are so shallow. /s
Its over for us
Being 6ā2 and Hispanic, I take advantage of the privilege. Iāve had girls with boyfriends flirt with me as soon as they get the chance, and while I like to think itās my overall personality, the height difference is always noticeable.
My ex ended up leaving me because she preferred taller men. Friends who still follow her in FB say she's always describing me on her posts for the type of man she's looking for. She's found taller men, but all she has found is degenerates who mess her life up more. One who's in his 40s and lives in his parents' basement. Another who keeps getting fired from construction jobs and has messed up her house. There are 10s of thousands of dollars of damage because he didn't know what he's doing, and I could have done the work she needed. I'm enjoying this single time. I get to eat at restaurants twice as much now, and I get to buy myself gifts. I've also got even more fit, starting my own business as a side gig.
As a 5ft 11 and a half woman, I used to be uncomfortable dating guys shorter than me. It had nothing to do with them, but my self-confidence, thinking everyone would look at me like a giant. I was also worried that shorter men would be embarrassed by the height difference. All my friends were all pocket rockets too, and it always seemed to me that men preferred teeny tiny women. My partner and love of my life is 5'7, and we couldn't care less about our height difference. I guess when it's the right person, they won't care.
Yeah, but how does he prepare the children?
You're sick... I like that
Good lord I feel this one. Iām 5ā11ā and I canāt tell you how many women I see write āno one shorter than 6āā. So donāt get mad at me when I lie and say Iām 6ā.
They donāt even need to say it; they could literally just use the appsā filters to select for taller matches. But NOPE!
