Apparently the most preffered height is 5ft8 for a man and 5ft5 for a woman according to this article https://tinyurl.com/3e8kvt4j

What are your opinions on this? Do you think there's some truth to it or not?

Everyone has their own preference. The study, while credible, does not say that only those heights are attractive.

Yeah I am quite suprised about the article since I have read up that many women would refuse to date a man under 6ft.

He asks a lot of questions about appearance.

I'd like him to try answering his own questions as I'm pretty sure he knows the answers.

The results of these studies don't really matter to me.

I'm not 5 foot 8. I'm not "ideal height." But I've done okay.

This. What is seen as attractive tends to be what is perpetuated in media/entertainment (and before that was widely prevalent it was whatever the rich people were doing). Most of which standards are and have always been pretty unrealistic. For this reason and the fat that it changes with the tide, also means that what people will say/poll at is in reality more flexible than it looks.

Personally I don't give a damn what masses think of my height. If they don't think its attractive they can sod off.

Actually I'm not sure if he could. o_O I mean I agree he probably knows the answers, but the perpetuation of the same questions in different forms suggests a inability to accept them.

There is a discussion to be had here, but to try to have it with OP would be like dropping pearls before swine.

Listen in the future I will try and not make my threads so repetitive.
