70% of women say a man 'wouldn't stand a chance' if he was under 6ft

    Well according a to poll conducted in the Daily Mail:
    Tom Cruise, Daniel Radcliffe, Jack Black, Seth Green and Macauley Culkin should probably visit their nearest Cuban heel outlet the next time they're interested in wooing a lady friend.

    The vast majority of women say a man 'wouldn't stand a chance' in the love stakes if they were under 6ft in height, and 'would struggle' to get their attention... despite the average height of the British man being just 5ft 10ins, two inches below a 'perfect' height.

    And although men are getting there (slowly but surely), having shot up by four inches in the past 100 years, 71 per cent of females still say the ideal height for a male partner is between 6ft and 6ft 6ins, according to a new poll.

    No you read it wrong. The women said he wouldn't stand a chance if he was six feet under.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    All men are over 6 foot


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,221 ✭✭✭NuckingFacker

    I guess I'll go wallow with Clooney, Pitt and Depp then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,256 ✭✭✭Wompa1


    They forgot to account for the exceptional cases like if the guy is rich, has notoriety, is in a position of power in any setting they happen to be in e.g. a singer in a band that they are watching, or just a bar man in the place they went out with their friends to and finally if they are feeling insecure about themselves which all women do seemingly until they are in their late 30's. Woohoo!

    Just to debunk this myth, all the serial-riders I know are small lads -"small man all go, tall man no go" as one put it to me. I think the height thing might be over-rated. But I'm a ride, just saying, like. I also know one lad who is 5'4" and has a bleedin harem going on - and he's broke. So either he is one charming fecker, or he has a schlong like a shovel handle..

    Nope.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Are men really this worried about a perception of what women think. Is this cheap tabloid tactic to sell papers still working!?
    The daily mail really need to hire better trolls ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,080 ✭✭✭EoghanIRL


    I'm taller than 6 foot so I don't care .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    Nope.

    Yup. They have beards too.

    Anyone not ticking those boxes is not a man. They might be male, technically, but they're not men


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,473 ✭✭✭Wacker The Attacker


    I'm 6 ft 2". If this stat was true i'd have had a 70% pussy crushing success rate.


    I don't and never will.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 147 ✭✭Speisekarte


    I'm 5 foot 10 but have a 7.5 inch penis and as everyone knows you can trade height inches with length inches.

    So I'm the equivalent of a 6 foot man with a 5.5 inch (average) penis.

    I should read more than the editors headline before posting.

    Should I be handing out CVs to women with details on height, sizes, girth, previous experience and record number of orgasms?

    We're sorry but you didnt get the position between my legs but we have an opening as a friend.

    irish women is it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,660 ✭✭✭COYVB


    The average English man is 5'9 so either the poll is nonsense or the women in the poll are deluded.

    Or you misunderstand how averages work

    I hate those statistics when its based off of 100 women only.

    6'4'' here btw :D


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Harley Rapid Stratosphere


    SO 70% of those women wouldn't **** Eminem?

    I don't and never will.
    If it's any consolation I'm about 6'1 and the stat still isn't true for me either :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,504 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    I have similar views to women over 6ft.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,377 ✭✭✭zenno


    The vast majority of women say a man 'wouldn't stand a chance' in the love stakes if they were under 6ft in height

    With that attitude those women wouldn't stand a chance with me chatting them up. I am 6ft tall but any woman that has this attitude, I would leave them there with no chance :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,705 ✭✭✭✭Tigger

    I may have had a drink or two earlier - time for me to go to bed I think.

    It flew in a window, probably to have a go at some of the bugs attracted by the light. Maybe it's a sign that I should become a masked vigilante.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,231 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    DailyMail is a joke :pac: But most women like their men to be taller. Don't ask me why just that so many women in my experience have said that.

    Of course tho, if you were 5ft7 and a sticking rich movie star I think the height critera goes out the window.
