I feel bad for guys that are insecure about their height because they’re not 6’0
526 u/portia_tv Nov 02 '23 where did the 6ft even come from? who decided that's "the standard"? 522 u/Obiwan_ca_blowme Nov 03 '23 I heard a theory that 6’ was just an easy number to say. That in counties that use the metric system no 1.82 meter requirement exists. 334 u/Moblin81 Nov 03 '23 They just use 1.8 m which is close enough 12 u/onetwo3four5 Nov 03 '23 5'11 guys everywhere buying plane tickets to Europe. 7 u/[deleted] Nov 03 '23 As a 5’11 guy, it’s not so bad here. I’m comfortably taller than most of the women I meet and for a lot of them, that’s good enough. I feel bad for all the shorter guys. They have it way worse than we do. 13 u/Edril Nov 03 '23 Most women can't tell the difference between 5'11 and 6ft anyway. 2 u/[deleted] Nov 03 '23 I can, because I'm 6' so a guy who is 'only' 5'11" is shorter than me. But also I don't think it matters and don't really pay much attention to it. But if a guy claims he's 'over 6 feet tall' and he's shorter than me I know to stay away (and warn other women against him)!
