The guy is 5’11” which to some women, it’s short. 1.8 meters, 5’11”… unless you are taller than that, I’ll never understand why it’s short and even then, it’s taller than average.

I assure you at 6’ or 1.83m, we’re not anymore special. But if dating has taught me anything, the 666 club for men is a selling point to some single women and if it’s ever mentioned/asked that I’m part of it (not from me) I end the conversation. You just told me that the most important thing about me is my height, my paycheck and my dick - see ya.

As a woman privy to other women's dating experiences, I cannot stress enough how the 666 obsessed crowd are just objectively worse partners. Guys who don't meet it (generally height wise) swear that they just need a foot in the door and dating apps make the girls pickier, and had they met irl they'd do fine. Though that's often true, most 666 girls have definitely dated outside 666 when picked up by a guy out and about, if I was a guy I think I'd like if they self selected against me. If I was a dude on dating apps 6'-6'3" I'd list 5'11" just to avoid these women. Just because maybe they'd date <6' if they met someone irl does not erase that they are superficial and judgy. We all have our quirks and maybe they're ok with some superficiality so long as they get a partner, but these are some of the worst partners I have seen. It's extremely frustrating to see guys caught up in this. If you're not enough for them on paper, you'll never be enough for them, even if they do settle for you. Some guys might be happy with that, so long as they have a partner, but they will just not love you the way someone who does not care about those things will, even if you do meet the criteria. Your perspective is undoubtedly saving you a lot of time dating bad people.

I did eventually lower my height on Bumble to 5'11" just to slim out the limited few who wouldn't date short. But I got more than one asking this question, and that's just a little weird. It's not like they walk into date 1 with a tape measurer. I in fact learned the hard way to remove quite a few things from my profile to not give off the wrong indicators. I'm rocking a dad bod, bald up top, so weight and super model looks are not what I'm judging against. Plus it would so look so awkward if I carried a scale /s.

Doesn't matter now, I'm in Spain and American numbers just don't matter. So far, Women here my age want a caring partner, stability, someone who doesn't sit at home watching TV when it's sunny out and most of all, compassion for fellow humans.

It's very strange to hear what people think is acceptable on dating apps nowadays. Glad your experience in Spain has been positive. Hope you find the right person.

I never list my height because of this. I'm 193cm (6'3")

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 16 points 1 day ago

It's just as sexist as telling a woman the most important part about her is her weight, her dress size, and her bust/waist/hip measurements, but you're supposed to be okay with it because checks notes "a lot of men are also sexist"

It's a good policy, "oh you're being sexist and gross? Kbaiiiiiii" regardless of genders.

If 1.8m is short, then I must be a hobbit 😅

Time for second breakfast!

No but that use of the metric certainly does

Not quite sure I understand what you mean?

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didnt know about the "666 club" thing lol. Seems like a miserable existance. Welcome to the 555 club where we just live our lives(i have no idea how much 555 is, im european, but thats like about average right?).

[–] Stupidmanager@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm in Spain now, living among you "short people" and I feel I shall be declared king any day now. Shit, there goes on of those damn Sweds and their god like everything. /s

We're just human, nothing extra special. This was not a humble brag, nor a jab at short people. This was me poking fun at flipping comments like Pedro Pascal is short and making comment that being American and dating in America was awful.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

No no, i get that, i just never really thought about the 666 club thing but it really has became a thing in the us from what i see online. Also on another note im hungarian which is one of the shortest countries in europe, only behing spain and portugal. I always felt pretty tall being 181, then i moved to sweden where im below average. Oh no what i gonna do, wait i just remembered my gf is 180cm, i really dont care what others say lol its hot having someone your height or taller. Also its pretty common here for immigrants to date taller swedish women.

6 feet tall 6 inch penis 6 figure salary

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I always heard 6 feet tall, 6pack abs, 6 figure salary.

I guess I would be in the 690 club by your definition, and the 600 club by mine.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Cool I guess. i meet the first 2 criteria

I am still a student so yeah I don't care what other women think I have had one for 7 years and I love her so...

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

6 foot is literally the average in Northern European / Nordic countries. (Also the myth about Dutch being the tallest, if you look at the data, most Dutch data was self-reported and we know that self reporting for positive attributes tends to be exaggerated by ~2%. When that is accounted for, they come down to the same level neighbouring countries, which measure, are.)

I'm pretty much exactly 6ft. If 6' is 182.88 I measured over it at 183 in the army but I've also been measured as 182.5 at one point. People don't usually go into mm when measuring so yeah. May be I'm a <6' manlet on some days and >6' hunk on others.

Such an arbitrary line. Also I never felt tall. I feel much in the same way Americans treat the 6ft thing, we do with 2m. There we're a few people over 2m in my small town and loads who were >190cm. I never really felt short either though. A few times maybe when most of the group was people >190cm and I was the shortest at 183.

Edit "->'

[–] Tower@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

2m is crazy. That's 6' 6¾", well into 99th percentile range.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

99th percentile, perhaps in the US. Not in the town I grew up in.

The local chimney sweep was a man of more than 2 meters. I might be lying if I say 210+ but I feel like he was. I knew his son and he grew up to be over 2m as well. But man his dad once scared the shit out of me when I was like 7 or 9 or smth and mom hadn't told me a chimney sweep was coming and what looked to me like a giant black monster with all sorts of tools just came in, I ran for the library and rang mom I think. (I was usually allowed to be at home because I found daycare to be kinda annyoing and boring and I was a chill kid so mom let me stay home reading Donald Duck.)

Anyway a few others were over 2m, including the principal of the local elementary. And lots of over 190, that was pretty normal, mostly 190-195 than 195 to 2m but both were kinda plentiful. My dad was 192 or 193, my third cousin is something like 195 and a lot of people in the village were related, even though somewhat distantly. But I got half of my genetics from outside the village (mom didn't grow up there) so I'm not as tall. Although my brother is closer to 190 than 180.

Anyway I'm 6' but was still kinda shocked to hear a girl friend of mine (I don't want to write "female friend", except now I did) describe me as "kinda tall" just a few years ago.

I'd like to visit some Asian country where the average is still short af and feel like a giant.

Should've just written ft everytime.

Thanks for pointing it out

This is clearly fake (non-matching letter fonts), but still pretty funny

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 8 points 1 day ago

Would it matter if he was? Either way, he has wonderful laugh lines.
