Depends on where you are from. In the US it's above average, however, somewhere like the Netherlands the average male height is 6 feet.

I think you are trying to take my dog identity.
i'm a 5'4 man and nine times out of ten I'm discriminated against only when it comes to the dating scene.
at times it can be very draining but myself and other short men should remember that there's really nothing wrong with us. especially since this is the product of years and years of social conditioning. hopefully in the future these sort of "preferences" start to die out.
BUT... we must also keep in mind this sort of discrimination has parallels to how we assess overweight people in the dating scene. most of the time these standards/preferences are rooted in ignorance. /: (Women have it far worse though so why don't we also focus on that?)

You are good on GAF where everyone is 10 inches minimum.

When we get longer than 6.5 inches I'm going to be nervous.
I'd rather a guy have a short, stubby one than a long one. Long ones are scary.

BTW, I posted this in the online dating thread a few months ago. They didn't use tinder. I think they used some other dating site for the experiment. They had one good looking guy and a "regular" looking guy to compete against each other just trying to get into a conversation with these women. The results are way uglier than you could ever imagine. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY uglier.

In addition to notable genetic factors such as height and facial bone structure or other such barely tangible traits that lead to general attractiveness, there's this elephant in the room:
I don't think anyone expects superficial digital speed dating to be an egalitarian utopian expression of a progerssive society, but this is an ugly reflection of the reality of an open dating pool.

lol, can I meet these guys? I feel like we've rehashed this a few times. I feel like any guy putting you down based on looks must be blind or took a shovel to the head or something.

Thick ones can be just as bad depending on perspective and how trained you are. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
For real though, anything above 7.5" is getting into crazy territory. Too many men worry about their dick size when the vast majority are within the "average" range.

First time taking a thick dick in your backdoor? No, ma'am, you gotta work that way up.
Don't lie, you want to see the majority of these folks photos.

I've been to therapy...it doesn't work on this particular issue. I just live with it now. 😔
I've deleted the messages haha. But Vancouver guys. I think it's that most of the women in Vancouver are so gorgeous, I'm a troll in comparison. I dunno. I've given up wondering why.

If you leave a NeoGAF thread open long enough, the topic becomes dick size. It's like a ripening avocado.
Cindi Mayweather

Mm hmm.
Lots of guys brag about how long their dicks are and I'm like,"Okay, I'm scratching him off." I think most guys who think about that only do so for dick measuring. In terms of application, large penis size isn't the most...comfortable.
I definitely prefer a thick, fat one or an average one over a long one.
I don't know what you're getting at. I'm just trying to make a living by providing amazing Photoshops.
I mean big dicks can be nice. But you're sitting there like "where do I put all of it" you know?

Dick size is meaningless, if nobody is attracted to the body or person attached to it.

They can be really hot. You know that food art where it looks amazing and you don't want to eat it because of that? Some big dicks are like that.
This is like if I downplayed racism and then immediately started saying "it must be hard to be good at basketball" or "Why you mad that you have to type your pin to unlock your phone?"
Just because racism is WORSE, doesn't mean that height discrimination is not also negative.
It's well-documented that short people make less money. Yes, it's not as bad as racism, on the whole (as far as I know cops don't shoot short people out of proportion, for instance).
Even in this thread there are a lot of short jokes. Popular media clowns short people all the time, and short people are usually portrayed as comedic sidekicks in movies. It's just more accepted to make fun of people based on height than body weight, race, or sexual orientation.
Just because it's in no way as bad as racism, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Again, it's not nearly AS big of a deal, but it is an actual thing.
I'm married to someone about 3" taller than me, who's regular wears 6" heels when we go out.
You could make a similarly inconsiderate argument dismissing the inconveniences of just about any other kind of discrimination and people would find it crazily patronizing:
"At worst, you just have to hear some fat jokes occasionally... but like, it doesn't REALLY affect you. Just be the best possible you! Who cares if your fat, you're so funny... and jolly!"
You're very open-minded to consider lowering your standards to date some awful midget if he was perfect in other ways /s.
In my past experience, this "preference" is amplified in online dating, and not nearly as important when meeting people in person.
That's the whole point of the thread. Online dating kind of sucks if you are not the choice of the litter. A lot of people on GAF say it's the best way to meet people, but it's really dependent on your physical characteristics. If you are short or kind of ugly, but super funny with a great personality, you'd be much much better off just meeting people in person.

The way she looks at that pizza says she's my kind of woman.
I agree with those saying height isn't his problem.
I have gotten likes, chatted up a few women on OKC. And my pics aren't studio quality. Taken with a phone with no flash.
Some women do have specific height requirements in their profiles. I just keep it moving, don't even bother.
But height can't be the only reason for the pass overs.
Yea it is. Not going into specifics but my ex thinks the exact same way..... I think the thing is what you might consider short is actually long or long enough for her. Then there is the thickness....
But yea thats a real thing.

I've smashed a lot off tinder so my self esteem is intact but women are choosey in general get over it. Buy her some pasta and a bottle of wine and play the game until you find one to play games with you that doesn't suck. At least thats my poor excuse of a plan.
I know that look well, I'm 7 months into my diet and I know that's the face I'd have on seeing that slice lol.
dont worry im low key lurking
dunno if it matters but i'll spoiler tag stuff in case it's nsfw
for real though i never thought anything about it until i started undressing in locker rooms and dudes started actively talking about how i have a monster dick/pipe, so i kinda grew self conscious about it. at the time, i had low self esteem so this was kinda harsh
first time a girl sees my penis (girl i lost my virginity with) gave me that spiel about me having a big dick (shit like 'you're definitely the biggest'/'i dont know if it can fit'/'i want to taste it'). she was white and it made me feel some kind of way with me being black and her literally holding my dick saying this stuff to me. this was also the first time i ever tried out casual sex and all in all, i dont regret it even though i didn't care for the experience. i wasn't attracted to her and figured i'd try at least feel good. i did but eh.
sometime after that i met my (ex) girlfriend. she said similar things about my dick when we had sex, but she eventually got used to it and seemed to only want sex from behind - which worked for me.
the last girl i had sex with i ended up having a conversation about her voicing my concerns about my dick, my thoughts on what people have said to me. i felt more comfortable telling her these things because she was black and we were pretty cool with each other (this was when i realized it's okay to not prefer casual sex).
she told me that a girl will just get used to it if she wants it. she, too, preferred sex from behind. so i kinda just did what folks ITT said and just went with it.

none of this is a humblebrag but i feel folks will look at it as such. i feel like i'm going to have this talk again pretty soon with someone i'm kinda seeing as well....

The doggy style preference was probably because the other position were not as comfortable / hurting them.
There's a certain level of stretching that's possible, but generally a girl doesn't want to be hurt and may be wary of something too big. I've also heard getting hit on the uteran wall is the equivalent of a guy getting hit in the balls. But it's not like we can compare the two sensations.
Honestly, that shit must be kind of weird. There's a lot of porn glorifying black dudes for having huge dicks, but that also is obviously racist. Like being a living stereotype but completely out of your control.
Good advice is to just get out the Wii U so you can show girls how far games have come.
So this is late nite gaf, huh...
Off Topic....gotta luv it.....Sometimes I forget I'm on GAF..
This thread is clearly not for me any more lol
Carry on.
What? Dont go...its just getting started...
And yes this is definitely a real thing too. All of it is really.

Also I just had a great idea while I was texting this girl that has been wasting my time lately replying to everything she said using only drake lyrics.... drake soundboard. Ok I'm sure this must already exist but I must try it when actually talking on the phone.
PM me. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But for real: Having a big dick doesn't mean the end of the world. It's just "logistics" issues and safety for BOTH parties.
I've been with some 8inch or near 8inch men that were completely fine
because they were bottoms, pyohohohoho~
Edit: Anyway, it's the same with height: A lot of women may say they don't want "small" men, but the reality is 5-6" isn't a huge difference if you're within like 5'6"-11" territory. It's just a matter of perspective like men and their dicks.
