Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on September 02, 2015, 09:25:40 PMI think the mindset of the height neurosis lives on even after LL.  I'm still comparing myself to other peoples' heights and still jealous of or even intimidated by taller people.  However, it's gotten much better because there are fewer people taller than me now.  I'm not always the shortest person around anymore.

You need to reach a height that you are comfortable with, if I were 185CM it wouldn't bother me if some people were taller because I'd know that my height isn't objectively short. Height in a social setting and in life is about meeting a threshold -after that returns diminish rapidly. I would say that threshold is usually slightly above average like 3-4CM or so.

I think if you're of the mindset that you just don't want to be considered short anymore, then getting to a statistically average height will be just fine and even though you won't ever be considered tall, just no longer being known as the short guy will get rid of that neurosis.

That's pretty much my view. If I got to 172/173 range I'm pretty sure I'd be as happy as a pig in muck.

well personally i think its incorrect to call 5 8 and 5 9 short where the average is 5 10, since its more below average than anything, its like if i was 5 11 and called myself tall, i woudn't because its not true.

also a 5 8 male can call a 5 5 male 'little man', but no one would call a 5 8 male 'little man' like ever, there is a clear cut off somewhere.

Like MDoW said, with people like us (especially those who have actually done LL already)...we think about height a LOT more than the average guy. So we naturally compare ourselves more to other guys. 5'8" is a huge improvement over 5'5", but mainly against girls. Dating wasn't a huge problem before, and now it's no sweat at all (I claim 5'9" and get plenty of interest from very attractive women online). I personally prefer to date women 5'2-5'5"...shorter than 5'2" and my kids are guaranteed to be super short, and no taller than 5'5" (preferable, but not a requirement) because I feel I'm a more decent height. My current FWB is 5'6", and she says she thinks I'm average.

The problem I am facing now is that I still don't FEEL average (because I'm not!). in NYC, there are a lot of tall men. I think at 5'10" I'd be entirely satisfied (can't get beyond that due to proportions)...but due to time constraints, I'll probably settle for 5'9" from another inch in femurs next year. I feel sometimes like I JUST missed average, and 5'9" is basically average, if not just a tad under.

I know what you mean about NYC. I swear, the average height is 5' 11" near where I work.

Tinder was kind to me today. I have a 5'6" hot blonde coming by to bang Friday night.

When we were texting, she asked how tall I was. I said 5'9". She said height isn't that important to her, as long as over 5'7". After that, the convo got super sexual...

LOL thank you LL!

Yeah. I think it's more like 6ft. 5'8" isn't God awful, but no ideal in NYC. That's why I feel pressured to say 5'9" on all these dating sites...I feel like 5'9'/5'10 is usually the cutoff (though 5'8 cuts it for a good amount of women too).

To answer op , height neurosis will gone provided that you reach 185 cm.
At 185 cm you are 5 cm above the white you men average, I think that s enough not to focus on other s height , since you will feel comfortably dominant
