There are so many more ''nuances'': this depends on a lot of things, including seasonal trends! There was a time in which in some latin countries for ladies it was said "fat is beauty'' or something better translated. It also depends hugely on the amount of the sample, for example.
And height its often surpassed by another variant in females preferences...it's not nice but that's...money or some form of equivalence: power, prestige, fame...I remember a huge study made in an American university when I studied a chapter of Anthropology whose results were many but in synthesis, for women, the most important aspect of atractiveness in men is that (money, power, prestige, etc.), over height (I don't remember in which place height was). Yes, guys: POWER and MONEY is what we need to get as the most powerful aphrodisiac! (Well, it surely helps not to be considered short, BUT, by them! (not exactly us, except if we have an incurable (out of CLL) height neurosis).
And for males, the most important first atractiveness aspect in women was physical sensuality (not even face ''beauty'', it was things more like boobs, large tights and nice, big ass).
To ilustrate how this height value preference may be diverse, I also quote and reference:
" 5ft 8in is the ideal height for a man.
Dating app Badoo has revealed the most right-swiped heights based on their users aged 18 to 30. "
Note that this is not an average that could even correspond to not a single woman preferences. This is really the height that the highest number of real women in the UK prefer.
Also, " 5′8″ Is the average height for a NAVY SEAL "
Maybe they just don't like feeling a super high arm "falling" with the hand on their shoulder....or not being able to give a normal ugg!
Remember also that
The average males height in the is USA is 5"" 9,3 while in the UK is taller: 5"10,1
So, "please", a mother would say: those of you with 5"8, 5,9'', 6''00 (or even 5"7 using elevator shoes or insoles) and depending on country of residence), don't risk your body, don't waste your time and money in LL! (This is personal opinion, not judgement of others, I understand there are other issues often involved)
(Even if your concern is not girls, think deeply on this matter...)
Improve yourself in other matters: learn languages, improve your style, get counselling or yoga or whatever to feel more secure and better self esteem when you are with girls, at your job, etc. Buy a nice car. Travel with your girlfriend. And when you are nked with no insoles surely she will not stop loving you for 1 inch, if are good to her and show you love her!
Regarding myself, I am so far from 5"8 that I really decided about LL as soon as I can and will stay around in this forum....

PS-Has anybody have ever heard of a Navy Seal that is not considered atractive by a woman just because he's ''short''??
