theres a reason women say they prefer 6ft men but still date the so called “short kings”(5’7), that’s because in their eyes 5’7 and 6 foot is the same thing, according to modern anthropometric perception research, raw height is an incomplete measurement because humans don’t evaluate stature linearly. Instead, the brain relies on proportional cues such as shoulder width, limb-to-torso ratio, and average population scaling. Within this framework, heights between 5’7 and 6’0 fall into the same perceptual category because the visual system compresses small height differences into a single “normal-tall” range. In practical terms, a 5’7 male with standard proportions occupies the same visual classification zone as someone who is 6 feet, since the cognitive threshold for distinguishing those heights is far less precise than the physical measurement. As a result, 5’7 is not a shorter category but simply the compact expression of what is functionally interpreted as six-foot stature.
