It is asinine to assert that girls are lying when they are polled:
http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/362135/results* I think you have to vote before you can see results
If you are FEMALE, which of these measurements is closest to the MALE height you consider ideal? (Skip if you are MALE)
1% (4 voters)
5'7 (170)
1% (4 voters)
5'8 (172.5)
4% (10 voters)
5'9 (175)
8% (18 voters)
5'10 (177.5)
11% (25 voters)
5'11 (180)
27% (57 voters)
6'0 (183)
13% (29 voters)
6'1 (185.5)
12% (27 voters)
6'2 (188)
8% (17 voters)
6'3 (190.5)
6% (14 voters)
>6'3 (>190.5)
As can be seen:
1) If women are lying to act saintly or to hide their love for tall guys or love for being dominated, they would have voted a height that is below average. Look at the 5'7 and 5'8 heights, only a few voters (4 each), compared to the more average heights. This shows a perverse inclination towards tall guys.
2) As you approach from 5'9 towards 6 feet, you notice a gradual and significant increase in voters:
4% (10 voters)
5'9 (175)
8% (18 voters)
5'10 (177.5)
11% (25 voters)
5'11 (180)
27% (57 voters)
6'0 (183)
3) After 6 feet, there is a sharp decline (half) in number of voters who vote 6'1. After 6'1, note a constant but statistically significant DECREASE in number of voters.
13% (29 voters)
6'1 (185.5) THIS IS HALF THE NO OF VOTERS WHO VOTED SIX FEET
12% (27 voters)
6'2 (188) Less voters...
8% (17 voters)
6'3 (190.5) Even less voters...
6% (14 voters)
>6'3 (>190.5) Even less voters... Least voters.
4) If you see the graph on the website, there is a symmetrical effect. The number of voters peak at six feet. There are less voters on either side of the graph.
5) The graph shows that guys taller than six feet are more desired than guys shorter than six feet. I don't think we can say the girls are lying. They obviously desire taller guys
6) But there is a "too tall" limit for some girls, or at least, a preference towards 6 feet as their ideal.
7) This corresponds with an infographic that Meursault has posted from OKCupid. No. of unsolicited messages from girls. The idea is that six feet is the peak. 6'1 has less messages than 6 feet.
Hensley (1994) did statistical analysis and showed that the height of 183 cm was preferred by so many girls that it is statistically very clear and significant (very low alpha).
9) There have been multiple opinion polls done by news agencies and websites which asked for women's opinion and the ideal height always is 6 feet. There are decreases in number of voters on both sides of the graph. yougov.uk even concluded that 6'3 is "too tall" in its infographic.
10) The Japanese website which I posted did an opinion poll, it shows that the ideal height (as voted by women) is 180 cm. THis means that taller is not always better. Asians are also probably more truthful and forthcoming about their ideal height in a partner. It is asinine to suggest that these Japanese are lying.
11) There are multiple studies, other than Hensley(1994). See above. These studies may be decades old, but, the average height has remained constant for youngsters vs those who are older, or is only 0.9 cm taller (according to PDF files contributed by endomorphisme, thanks). So the results should be and are the same today (see for example, Dailymail, Yougov, which are recent surveys, even one dates to 2014).
12)These conclusions are supported by MM and Diso. MM has said she is not lying.
13) These conclusions are supported by what I asked girls and even gay or bisexual men. The ideal is in fact 180-183 cm. 183 and above in fact, in Asia, according to them is "too tall", They did not know I did LL surgery and they see me with 180 cm lifts so there is no reason for them to lie.
14) Hollywood celebrites and Kpop celebrities are mostly 180-185. This suggests that there is probably an intersection point as to what is considered the ideal height. The mass media does convey what is socially ideal: eg, thin, fit, lean,rich, good-looking. The mass media is the epitome of superficiality and it is silly to say that Hollywood is a fake representation of what is socially ideal. Hollywood represents what is the superficial ideal.
15) There was one study which asked both men and women and the result was 6'1. Thus if you want to please both girls and guys, then do 6'1. The most no of voters (male and female) think the ideal height is 6'1.
16) Guys have an inflated sense of what is ideal height. See misterpoll survey (above). When guys were asked what is the guy ideal height, the answer was above six feet. THis is probably the reason for the divergence of opinions seen in this thread.
In the totality of these evidences, six feet is the ideal height, according to women.
I am very curious what the supremely intelligent males would say about this. Instead of repeating like a broken tape recorder that women are lying (which I have already proved, they are NOT lying), and giving me anecdotal stories about how very tall guys get girls (this is refuted too; if you see the graphs, very tall guys still > very short guys, they are more popular. but six feet is still the most ideal. if you are very tall, it is not such an impediment as, being short).
So I ask the third time, Where is your source? Where is your DATA.
Instead of insinuating repeatedly that I have mental issues or that I am bitter/jealous, let me put it to you that it may be the other way round.
