The average height of a man and woman is 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 3.5 inches, respectively.
Most women prefer to date a guy who is taller than they are, at the least.
If you fall somewhere in the range of the average height of a woman and want a man who is taller than you, finding an ideal mate who meets your height requirement won’t be an issue.
That said, if you are a woman who wants to find a potential mate that is 6 feet or taller, it becomes significantly more challenging.
14.5% of adult men are 6 feet tall or taller.
When you also include all the other areas that make for a qualified candidate for a committed relationship, such as an attractive face, fit body, age appropriateness, good income, competence, emotional intelligence, etc., it narrows the percentage down.
Which means that you are looking at such low digits; it is the minority of the minority.
This is the reality of dating, but it also boils down to what matters most to you.
The moment you have a height requirement that is this lofty, you are already looking at a very small percentage of men.
But then, you must consider all of the other requirements you have in a prospective partner.
When height is the starting point before all of the other requirements come into play, you have already begun at a low percentage, and it will only get lower.
As you wonder whether height should matter, it’s important to consider what you are ready to give up.
Since there are 14.5 percent of men who are 6 feet tall or taller, this is already a minority of men, which would make them harder to find.
Given this immediate hurdle, it would work better in your favor if you considered the other requirements you have in a possible partner and what can be tweaked.
Otherwise, you run a risk of spending the rest of your life looking for Mr. Perfect when the likelihood of that happening is slim to none.
Is it possible to find a long-term partner who is 6 feet tall and taller?
Yes, though difficult.
Nevertheless, it is that much harder when all of the requirements you have in a future partner are taken into consideration.
No matter what you see on social media in regard to women who seem to have it all in a prospective partner, it isn’t real life.
A man who checks all the boxes in height, build, income, personality, social status, etc., is in high demand.
To this end, no matter how happy she appears to be standing alongside him on her social media, there is a whole other side of their relationship she isn’t showing where he is constantly cheating, lying, and giving her the cold shoulder.
These are usually short-lived relationships that never go anywhere.
Is this the life you want to live?
If height matters to you to such an extent that he must be 6 feet tall or taller, other concessions have to be made to give yourself a better chance at not only finding this man but also keeping him and his loyalty.
