Is 5'10 not tall enough?

Sometimes I feel short at 5'10 and I think it is part of the reason I get overlooked by girls. Do girls prefer taller guys.

I don't think so...I think 5'10 is a decent height...

Well, you are average in terms of height according to Google, and most women are around 5ft 5, so you shouldn't have a problem as it seems you are taller than most women. I don't think your height is a problem.
Yeah, no that's not the reason. Look for something else.

Im 6ft1 and I wonder if thats even tall enough sometimes. My girlfriend is about 5ft10-5ft11 and she says that she would prefer guys taller than her. So assuming you wouldnt wanna date girls the same height as you or taller, id say 5ft10 is perfectly adequate. Although I have seen plenty of couples were the female is taller than the male

I don't mind growing a bit more (even tho i won't), but I'm pretty content with my height. I find it fun to be one of the shortest in my year.
Female hypergamy. Women go for the top 15-20% of men in an unregulated society. What is that? The current dating world for women from age 11-28, where they chase men they view as genetically a cut above the rest. They are hard wired to do this.

Men are fixated with height because the majority of women have specific height requirements a guy must first fulfil to even be considered.

If women didn't care for example whether a guy was 6ft 3 or 5ft 3 you wouldn't be seeing height topics here.

There are a lot of qualities to consider when wanting to date someone. Height is one of them, but certainly not an important one. I've got no problem with a man being short if he has other things to offer. 5'10 definitely does not qualify as short though.

I've noticed men who struggle with women often blame their height rather than other attributes that they can change. It's an attitude that will leave them single.
I'm 5'7 and my girlfriend is about the same height, many girls don't care about height

Height is literallly one of THE most important things.
Personally I am 5ft 10, If I was unlucky enough to be 5ft 3 adult height ..then instantly like 70%+ of women would immediately write me off, and it wouldn't matter about other qualities at all short of being a multi-millionaire ...i'd instantly be written off purely on the height.
