The Male Height Scale
(In the eyes of the typical woman)
Height Scale
Manlet
2/10: 5'0'-5'1
2.5/10: 5'1-5'3
3/10: 5'3-5'5
3.5/10: 5'5-5'7
Heightcel
4/10: 5'7-5'9
4.5/10: 5'9-5'10
Bare Minimum
5/10: 5'10-5'11
5.5/10: 5'11-6'0
Tallish
6/10: 6'0-6'1
6.5/10: 6'1-6'1.5
Tall
7/10: 6'1.5-6'2

Why does the average (5’7-5’9) fall under 4/10 range despite being average?
A study done by OK Cupid on millions of attractiveness showed women rate 80% of men as below medium attractiveness. Another study done by Elizabeth Brunch used a dataset of hundreds of thousands of users and millions of first messages and used a network analysis method to create a scale of desirability (determined by a given person's photos, messages they receive, profile configuration, education, and more). The study found women contacted people who ranked about 25% more desirable than themselves.
Studies show the average woman wants a man 7 inches taller than herself. Since the average woman is 5 '3-5' 4 this makes the average minimum male height for a female would be 5 '10-5' 11. This process also follows and corresponds with data showing how women skew the average man left in ratings (around 4/10). It also stops at a perfect height around 6 '5 as any taller nets diminishing returns over time as it becomes too tall to a larger portion of the female population.
Female Weight Equivalent Scale (BMI)
Whale
2/10: 31-34
2.5/10: 28-31
Obese
3/10: 25-28
3.5/10: 23-25
Overweight
4/10: 21.5-23
4.5/10: 20.5-21.5
Bare Minimum
5/10: 19.8-20.5
5.5/10: 19.2-19.8
Slim
6/10: 18.7-19
6.5/10: 18.3-18.7
Fit
7/10: 18-18.3
7.5/10: 17.6-18
Petite
8/10: 17.3-17.6
8.5/10: 17-17.3
Skinny
9/10: 16.8-17
9.5/10: 16.6-16.8
Perfection
10/10: 16.5
[Visual Representation]
2/10 Amy Schumer
3/10 Ariel Winter
4/10 America Ferrera
5/10 Jennifer Lawrence
6/10 Gigi Hadid
7/10 Taylor Hill
8/10 Adriana Lima
9/10 Kendall Jenner
10/10 Kate Moss
How its calculated
Using the the females preferred men's height rating scale formulated prior, the male height is converted to where it sits in the global population in a percentage. Using a 10/10 standard derived from the rough ideal of female BMI in the industry of modeling, mirroring the standards for men in their fields of modeling (5’11+) it acts as a nearly perfect frame of reference to translate female height standards into female weight standards. Since we can arbitrarily define 6’5 and 16.5 BMI as rough ideals we can simply form a system of regression downwards from these 10/10 standards based on their position (relative) to their respective distributions. Its in no way entirely accurate (especially the images) but its a rough equivalence to illustrate how utterly ridiculous both sets of standards would appear. It also seems roughly accurate due to 3.5/10 for women being the average global woman BMI and 3.5-4/10 being around the average height for men globally so my math is seemingly accurate.
So next time a foid calls you short you can now confidently call her obese with the same logic
