At first I didn't bother with all the 6.2ft memes or give any importance to height whatsoever when I was young but through time I found it to be extremely valid and shallow at the same time.
I'm 1.87 m and all the women that I have had long term / short term / fwb / etc relationships told me that they love my eyes and that I'm really tall. Thing is that I'm not really tall but men on average in my country are much smaller , making me look really tall .
In social gatherings I've noticed how I was put on a pedestal compared to other friends who are much shorter. Only people that are around 1.70- 1.75 m and are really good with women , that I know of , are men who have a really attractive face.
Any girl that I've talked to on facebook and had let's say had a 50% attraction level to me , and after saw me in real life for a coffee or something , all said ,, wow you're really tall " and could see their attraction skyrocket because of that.
I remember when I was around 19yo and was studying in a different , bigger city , I used to go to a lot of parties and have fun and such and my group of friends got to be drinking buddies with another group , one of them was a male model and probably legit the best good looking guy I've ever seen IRL . One time he held a party at his home and while he was on his PC he asked us if we want to see his PC freezing in like 20 seconds. We didn't know what he meant by that , he logged into his yahoo messenger account , switched his status from invisible to online and in the next 1 minute around +100 girls said ,,hello , how are you " to him .
Me being at that time a believer of ,,it's not your looks bro , it's your confidence " ,, you can get any woman you want if you're confident " and all the bullshit west romantic movies imprinted in my head about how men should act in a relationship or how to get a girl and all that nonsense made my whole beliefs get crushed in 1 minute , lol .
I have a good friend in my group of friends who is around 1.65 , is not ugly , in decent shape and this is the first time he's had a girlfriend at the age of 27. Seeing the brutal looks of the women who he used to approach who were his height or a bit taller made me feel really bad for him.
If I was like 20-15 cm shorter , I would have had probably 10% the succes I've had so far and I'm not even joking.
