Every single thread about height on here is the same fucking shit: "under 6'0 = automatic death sentence," "tall guys get all the 8s and 9s while manlets get leftovers". Bunch of fucking dorks in the comments talking about roping and how brutal it is, you are just not trying hard enough.
Anyway, this brand new 2025 conjoint study just buried that narrative. Researchers ran 5,340 actual swipe decisions from 445 real daters. They tested looks (the photo), height, job, bio, IQ, everything at once.
Result?+1 SD better physical attractiveness (face + body in the pic) = ~20% higher chance of getting swiped right. Height? Barely +5% at best. Everything else (job, bio, intelligence) was 7-20 times weaker than the photo.

This is not some old OKC data or forum larp. This is people actually choosing profiles on apps like Tinder/Bumble right now. Face, eye, skin, hair, lean frame, and etc destroy height once she sets eyes on you.
“Yeah but taller guys still pull hotter girls," yeah some older studies show a small correlation, sure. However, if you look at the Chapman data on 60k+ people: median lifetime sex partners are basically the same across heights. Manlets sit at -5, everyone else (short through very tall) sits at -7. The difference is fairly tiny after you clear the bare minimum. Good looking dudes pull hot girls. A 5"9 guy with a good face, good style and frame is out dating instagram 8's while being 6"3 ltn fucking dork loser with no personality and cant make a bitch laugh at fucking all gets a ltb. We all see it in real life, if you're a fucking dork and can't set any social presence, no one will respect you, including the girls.
Height helps on the first glance for the first 0.3 seconds on apps. After that, actual attractiveness takes over. In social settings, clubs, daygame height of course helps but as I said if you dont take control and sit there like a quiet fucking dork, no one will care, YOU HAVE TO SET A SOCIAL PRESECENCE, FUCKING LTNS OUT HERE ARE SLAYING HMTB'S BECAUSE THEY ARE CHARISMATIC, STOP COPING THAT YOU ARE ND AND ACTUALLY FUCKING TRY TO BUILD SOME CONFIDENCE TO SAY SOMETHING, im fucking tired of it man.
And the part that no one wants to admit is that height is mostly fixed after 18. Face is one of the malleable thing you have. Most of you corny height doomers just dont want to do anything about your life because of your fucking height.
Stop crying about missing 3 inches and actually start trying on things that can move the needle.
Data does not care about your feelings you fuckers. Face is the most important, height is a nice bonus at best.
