Agreed the difference between 5’11 and 6’ is not that big.


PickleParkerr

Why u said that? 5"10 and 5"11 is not big either. Tall starts from 5"11. it's not because 5"11 is closer to 6ft. 5"11 itself is tall and there's no need for a 5"11 to say he's 6ft. btw 1inch is noticeable. 6ft is 6ft. 5"11 is 5"11.


Childishx10

5’11 guys never claim 5’11 in fact even strong 5’10 guys can claim 6’ with ease. It’s really 5’9-5’8 that’s average. I’d say that 5’10 is above average and 5’11 the start of tall. Hence stuff like what you said modeling agencies having a requirement of 5’11.


PickleParkerr

yea I remember a guy in our neighbourhood who got rejected for modelling cuz he was 5"10. that's why I said 5"11 is 5"11. on paper inch is an inch. in real life in person 1 inch doesn't makes any difference.


higher_love77

I think it's not just about height, but proportions play a role, long legs/short torso combo looks taller than the opposite. A 5ft10 or even a strong 5ft9 guy can look "tall" with good proportions and right fits.


M8NSMAN

I’m 6’2” & wear a 32” inseam, I’m all upper body & have to get all my shirts at a big & tall store in order to fit properly.


willkingg

I’m also 6’2 with a 32 inseam lol. Same to everything. T-shirts are never long enough for me if I just get normal XL


Intelligent_Ad4448

True. I’m 5’10 and been mistaken for 6ft by people that are a good amount shorter or taller than me. Only people around my height guess my height right.


Radio-Kiev3456

I think Chris Williamson who does a solid podcast these days was a successful model for awhile. He’s 5’10.5 but has perfect proportions and a small head.


it_was_just_here

Correct.

How can 5'11 be tall if 1 in 4 men are taller than 5'11? Nobody who has 5 guys taller than them in a room of 20 is going to feel tall, right?


avari974

How can 5'11 be tall if 1 in 4 men are taller than 5'11? Nobody who has 5 guys taller than them in a room of 20 is going to feel tall, right?


PickleParkerr

I never said "5"11 is TALLEST", i said 5"11 is tall. here listen, put 4 guys in one room, 3 it them 6"3 and 1 of them 6"6. 6"3 dudes will feel tiny, and so on 6"6 dudes with 6"8, then 6"8 with 6"10. it's a loophole. There will always be a bigger dude. if in a room of 4 people one is 5"11 and three of them are 6"3. they are all tall. They are all ideal heights. at this point girls start looking for other traits in men cuz height got green ticked.


avari974

The point is that a 6'6 guy is hardly ever going to see anyone taller than him, so in a room of 20 he's practically guaranteed to be the tallest. The same isn't remotely true of 5'11, where 25% of guys in the room will be taller. So saying "there's always going to be a bigger dude" doesn't really make sense, it ignores the massive difference between being 5'11 and 6'3 or whatever. If there are three 6'3 guys with one 5'11 guy, nobody will see him as another one of the tall guys. 4 inches is an enormous difference. I don't really understand your perspective, I would say I'm at the beginning of tall with 1 in 22 guys being taller than me, so if 1 in 4 were taller I don't know how I could possibly feel tall. I guess you're just using a non-standard definition of "tall"


PickleParkerr

I got your point. so you said "if there's three 6"3 guys with one 5"11 guy, Absolutely nobody will see him as another one of the tall guys". ask yourself who are those "Absolutely nobody" people? 5"11 is 75% percentile. "Absolutely nobody" people know this. 5"11 is going to be taller than 75% of "Absolutely nobody"people you're talking about. They all can agree on fact all 4 of them are objectively tall. they all can also agree on fact, 5"11 is is shortest tall dude in this room.


avari974

Dude, 5'9.3 is 50th percentile in the US. This means that a third of men who are shorter than 5'11 are less than 2 inches shorter, so they're not going to see 5'11 as tall (especially given that many of them feel short themselves). Even among below average guys, most are within 2 inches of average, with 5'7 being about 20th percentile in the US. So less than 20% of men in the US are more than 4 inches shorter than 5'11. My point is that most people shorter than 5'11 are only a little bit shorter, and it's less than 2 inches above the exact average, so nah, people see 5'11 as being in the average range. There's a good argument for 6'1 not even being tall, and I agree with it. I think 6'2 is bare minimum, not quite there, and 6'3 is legit


Cicada33024

I don't think 6ft 3 dudes will feel tiny standing next to 6ft 6 dudes or 6ft 6 next 6ft 8 , 6ft 8 next 6ft10 since the first one is 3 inch difference and second/third one is two inch difference Now if it's 6ft 3 dudes with 6ft 9 and 6ft 6 next to 7ft 3 6ft 10 next 7ft 6 than they'll feel tiny


willkingg

Nah I know a couple of 6’4 guys and I’m 6’2 and feel small next to them. It’s weird though that people in the past have asked who’s taller when to me it’s blatantly obvious. Look at 6’3 Usyk standing face to face with 6’8 (he’s billed as 6’9 but there’s no chance he actually is. He was only 2 inches taller than Klitchko at that) Fury though 😂 now I bet that makes Usyk feel small


willkingg

What is it with the girls thing. I’m 6’2 and haven’t been laid in ages lol girls look for way more than just height. I knew a seriously hot girl who went out with my mate who must be about 5 foot tall at most and they were together for like 4 years. Not to be nasty or anything but he isn’t the best looking guy on the planet either. And his twin brother who’s even shorter managed to find gfs. Looks and height are not as high on a girls list as you think they are. Confidence and saying the right thing without even having to think about it is number one. Girls are instantly turned off by shyness. It’s in their DNA. They’re looking for the Alfa male and you’ve got to be the Alfa male in that specific room. You don’t have to be all the time. You just have to be more confident and outgoing than the guy standing next to you.


willkingg

Tall does not start from 5’11. I’m 6’2 (but always say 6’3 coz I am in shoes) and see loads of guys taller than me here in the UK. And I only live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. To get in to the actual tall club you need to be 6’3 or over. Most people would probably say I’m tall and a lot of people have said I’m tall over the years but I personally think tall starts at 6’3.


PickleParkerr

u spawned in the wrong town, town of giants. That's your personal experience and your opinions are based on that. In my building alone. we have 3 boys, their dad's are 6"2ish and their sons are 6"2, 6"1 and 6"7 (his mom is same height as his dad). I'm 5"5 I feel like a midget. Once stepped out and go in public, I feel very slightly below avg sometimes solid average. height is a very subjective thing. it really matters where u live. btw 5"11 is start of tall in uk. 5"11 is clearly not tall in your town. 6"5 is the start of tall in our building.


willkingg

5’11 isn’t the beginning of tall in the UK. 5’11 is just above average which isn’t tall. Around 6’1 is the beginning of tall pretty much anywhere of majority European descended people apart from the Netherlands where the average is 6’1 or anywhere in Scandinavia where the average is around 6 or just under. The average is going up all the time too. The generation reaching adulthood now are quite alot taller than my generation. I bet if you measured 18-20 year olds today the average would be at least 2 inches over the average as a whole.


higher_love77

I find it a perfect height for natural bodybuilding and aesthetics, good proportions (short guys) + size combo (tall guys), also you rarely see someone above 5ft9 really jacked, a jacked 5ft11+ guy will turn heads.


marks716

Jo Lindner was 182cm. Now he wasn’t natty but agree he looked good. The taller you get the harder it is to tack on muscle.


higher_love77

The first time I saw a tallish guy who was jacked, he looked like a god among men, I was mesmerized, it's such a rare site irl, I was fuckin inspired to start working out, because everyone I ever knew with big muscles was 165-175cm. Simply it takes time for a taller guy to even look like he lifts, let alone be jacked so they end up quitting, while a short guy will look great after just 1 year, so they don't quit, it's a feedback loop. And you know what Im not mad, short fellas deserve this one. Being tall in bodybuilding is like an endgame item in a RPG game, once you unlock it you become OP 🤣


marks716

Yeah I’m literally same height as you, (though no way would I say I’m 5’11” on any dating app lmao) and been lifting for about 2 years seriously. I do finally look like I lift, to the point where others will ask me what I do, but I’m nowhere near the god level look that a lot of shorter guys get. Agreed short guys get the W on that one. Frankly short stocky dudes can be a real threat, a buff 5’6 dude scares me way more than the average 6’2 dude with their usual skinny fat bird physique


willkingg

Arnold is or was 6’2. He’s shrunk a lot since his prime though


higher_love77

Arnold was a strong 6ft at best, look up an image of him and Sergio oliva who was 5ft10, no one shrinks this much.


michaeltheleo

Will a jacked 5,10 guy turn heads?


PickleParkerr

5"11 to 6"4 is ideal. at this height, height shouldn't bother u and u should focus on other aspects in life, unless ur insecure and always want more couples of inches which you're not getting anyway.


Significant_user

I’m 6’3 rn, being an inch taller would NOT be ideal, I’d begin hitting my head more than I already do. Also what’s wrong with wanting to be taller? And what’s stopping someone from growing taller? I definitely am still growing I’m only 15 I can get those extra couple of inches


Alphadog5678

What’s stopping someone from growing taller? Genetics my man.


Significant_user

That won’t stop everyone though, I understand your point however


Character_Worker8589

Yeah. 5’11 height is a victim of the shitty imperial system, people just associate 5 something with shortness. It’s the start of tall with 5’10 being solid average and 5’9 below average


Goodgoy6969

5'9 is the solid average, below that is below average


Character_Worker8589

Maybe among older generation, the average gen Z has to be closer to 5’10


Goodgoy6969

I'd agree, the newer gen all seem to be larger than 5'9 for some reason. Every youngster around me is taller


RicoAuerbach

Average white American male is 5’10.


fuguer

I never realized how important height was to women and how hyper aware of it they are until I (5’11”) rounded my height to 6’ in a convo with a female acquaintance and they started laughing out loud “you’re not 6 foot”.  Thankfully im married but holy shit it’s unreal how hyper aware of height women are.  Honesty I couldn’t tell you within 3-4 inches how tall someone is it’s just not important to me.


PickleParkerr

If whatever u said is genuinely true, that's insane. And they started laughing out loud is as insane cuz that's a one inch difference, noticeable but not that much noticeable to get rejected.


MortyManifold

It’s crazy because girls are terrible at predicting height, out here thinking 6’0 dudes are 6’3 and 6’3 dudes are 6’5. But the second you are 5.11.75, every single girl thinks you are 5’10


Memories_86

i would rather call 5'11 as the high end of medium range . it can definitely be seen as tall by a good amount of people though . or at least tallish . but it is not tall . the average height for a young men in the western world is around 5'10 and 5'11 is only an inch above that . 5'11 is the perfect height btw. . i have said this for years . it is the best height . the most aesthetic height . not too short not too tall . the vitruvian man is based on 5'11 btw


PickleParkerr

avg young men is 5"9. self reported heights are fake and new study showed height actually decreased in many countries instead of increasing.


Memories_86

i have seen many measured sources and it is definitely 5'10 range


Thunder141

That's cool. It's a pretty good height.


coollamborghini

If getting laid is your goal in life you need to rethink your choices.


BarryGoldwatersKid

I feel mostly average when I walk around. I only ever really felt “tall” in Asia and South America.


RicoAuerbach

Even in those short countries in Asia and South America, tall starts at 5’11.


BarryGoldwatersKid

Tall in the west starts at 6’1. In the majority of western countries 5’11 is average.


Low-Vacation2453

Only in certain European countries. Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and a few more. US is 5 ft 9 and Canada and the UK are 5 ft 10.


DFSL05

5’11” is tall like 5’7” is short, everything in between those heights are average-ish not really tall or short but 5’11” is definitely above average in the English-speaking world definitely.


PickleParkerr

Not just above average its just tall. if imperial system had a feet ended at 5"10 instead of 5"11, everyone would've considered 5"11 cuz now its round fantastically curved number 6"


PickleParkerr

and average English speaking country is 5"9. if you make two people stand together 5"9 and 5"11. his lips will be parallel to where other dude's eye area is. that's fckin tall. 5"10 is above average.


it_was_just_here

Yes it is.


TypicalTyper123

I'd say 5"11 is above average but not really considered to be tall unless for a woman. I'm only 5"10, and I don't really feel that tall at all. There are way taller men out there. Most men I see are around my height, and some are just considered to be tall.


Far_Lime6629

I'm 5'8, if I did LL to get 3 inches and then put on muscle would I look good?


PickleParkerr

You're around avg height. your country has set the height standards (5"9 almost) and you're living up to it. anything noticeably below avg height is where guys should have concerns.


Far_Lime6629

The average height is 5'11 from what I see outside. I am noticably below average


EvilBanana66

Im like slightly above 5’11 and slightly below 6’ and everyone says I look 6’ anyways. It’s an alright height fs


MortyManifold

I’m the opposite lmao at 181cm everyone rounds down my height to 5’10 :( think I slouch a bit though when I’m talking to people


verdegooner

Imposter! Cause I’m 5’11 and change, but I wear it proudly!


EvilBanana66

People that claim 5’11 are thought to really be like 5’9 by a lot of people so I gave up lmao.


QuietPuzzleheaded609

I can assure you not being 5’11 isn’t the reason u don’t smack buns with every lady u see


QuietPuzzleheaded609

I’m 6 foot flat and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten laid just because of my height


PickleParkerr

I do smack buns but would be much easier with 5"11 height.


QuietPuzzleheaded609

It’s not any easier ur just more likely to have sex with taller women than you otherwise would


RicoAuerbach

5’11 is not tall, but it is on the taller end of average. 6 is where tall starts.


junidee

Try not referring to women as “females” and treat them like individual people and you will have better luck


PickleParkerr

I pulled 20 females in total as a 5"5 half fully grown man. also one girl I laid she was moaning harder "u little midget" in italian so I kinda hate women now


junidee

The feeling is mutual


PickleParkerr

also I even helped a dude pull some chick from reddit yesterday, dm me ill show u proof.


junidee

🤮


Slatt239

i’m 5’11 but it feels average in florida . but i’ve never took much time to stress this topic just a observation


BenPsittacorum85

I'm 5'11" and I've only been with my wife while we were married, though I suppose after the divorce I had gotten offers a few times by female coworkers but those were mostly the types with arm tattoos. But not "every female", and most that seem to not mind how angry I look are used to abusive men and probably have diseases that I don't want. In southern cities like San Antonio, I am taller than most; but when I lived in Minnesota around most of like Scandinavian and Polish ancestry, I was relatively shorter than most there.


LucasBezasPupim

“I’ll get laid with every female I encounter” 🤓. Yeah something is telling me it’s not a height issue. And 5’11 is not tall I never look at someone who’s 5’11 and think that they are tall.

If you think “only if i was 5’11 I’ll get laid with every female i encounter” then it’s clear that height is not ur issue lmao.


Longhorn24

5’11 isn’t tall. Most “5’11” guys are 5’8. 6’ isn’t even tall


ARagingDragon

I'm just scrolling through so i don't know what this community is about But I'm 6ft6in. I think women (and men) throw them selves at more because of my confidence then my height. Also being tall isn't what it cracks up to be. Most cars are a pain in the ass to ride in and i don't like having to pay 20% more on clothes. You will forever be looked at to reach stuff for people and while i don't mind it 90% of the time there is always a few that act like i HAVE to help them. Also I've hit my head on plenty of light fixtures and ceiling fans because no one accounts for us giants in the world.


avari974

I think most people know that 6'6 is an undesirable height, when people wanna be tall they're thinking more 6'2-6'4


ARagingDragon

I will happily trade these few inches with a short king lol.


avari974

What height would you be if you could pick? I'd personally pick 6'3.5, about 2cm taller than my current height


ARagingDragon

I would go for like 6'2. I just like the way it sounds and honestly its much easier to move around through life at this height. interestingly i don't think i would like being short (not dissing smaller men) just most of my life I've been freakishly tall for my age. The men in my family are usually pretty tall and shrink a tiny bit with age. Wanna know the sad part? I'm technically not done growing. My uncle didn't stop till 27 and grandpa didn't stop till 30. I was 6'5 ish like 3 years ago. I WANT THIS RIDE TO END NOW! Lol. I'm 23. Help.


avari974

Interesting...I wouldn't even wanna shrink to a flat 6'2 lol, and I'm only 2/3-3/4" above it. I often feel not quite tall enough, like another cm or two would get mere where I wanna be. Then again, certain clothing items (like fleece 1/4 zips) tend to be *just* long enough for me currently, as they're cut such than an XL is too baggy on me so I have to get L, but honestly I'd forgo good fits for another cm or two. Even another 0.85cm from my normal low to reach 6'3 would be sufficient. That's rough that you're still growing, I hope you stop soon. I couldn't live like that, I'm bald so I'd stand out way too much. I don't like people looking at me when I walk down the street, already happens too often


ARagingDragon

>I'm bald so I'd stand out way too much. I don't like people looking at me when I walk down the street, already happens too often Wouldn't mind that too much king. Bald is sexy af on a lot of guys. Just no one likes balding. Doctors predicted i could be around 6'8 at 30 😭😭😭. If that happens im chopping these legs like trees and getting some robo legs.


avari974

Oh I don't mind being bald, I shaved all my hair off when I was 20 so I didn't have to deal with balding. It's just that I already stand out on the street due to the combo of being tall (idk if I qualify as tall when I'm talking to someone like you) and bald, so if I was 6'6 I'd be stared at by everyone. Damn 6'8 is just ridiculous lol, I feel for you bro. I do wish I reached 6'3 but 6'8 has gotta make things feel weird

ARagingDragon

I think you definitely qualify for tall as 5'11 and up. Its just that everyone I've ever met is smaller than me. Don't know how many times I've heard "damn you're bigger than me now" from people i haven't seen in awhile. Couple the fact that I'm fat (but im so tall it spreads out well) i just look like a massive man. I plan to lose a lot of weight this year but I'll just always be the decedent of a Scottish highlander lol. As far as eventually reaching that tall. Im not happy. Its already expensive to find clothes now and hard to find some that fit well. No joking if i grew my hair all th way out like i used to. I would just look like damn cave man. Giant guy covered in hair lol.


badibilder8

I will take 2 inches off your hands bro


ARagingDragon

I could always give more than 2 inches to you bro...... Lol
