We are all programmed to chase to breed. But notice the short guys that take care of themselves and don't have a tude' problem have zero issue with getting girls. Because they may lack the typical desirable traits they can make up for it in other areas that tall guys lack. Two things I notice short guys do well: Listen and fight. LOL
Funny that its total opposites. I don't think most tall guys bother to do either to the depth a shorter guy will. The tall guy connection and interaction through the visual shows enough dominance for the moment.
Yeah, you see people taking their advantages for granted. If they're really good looking or, in the case of women, they're younger, they know they don't have to work as hard to attract people. That's why it's no surprise when you find people who are really attractive that have lousy personalities. They've been able to get away with it for a long enough time.
6'6" is based on what I have witnessed. Put two nearly identical looking guys together, one is 6'3" and one is 6'6". Everything being equal, the guy who is 6'6" will attract slightly more women than the guy who is 6'3". According to my theory, the guy who is 6'3" would still be a 9/10, so women would be attracted to him.
I based this on two brothers that I know. One of them is 6'5" and the other is 6'2". They look similar (same color hair, size, and mannerisms). Close in age. Neither are what I would consider 10's, but the taller brother does get (again slightly) more attention from women. The taller one towers over other guys in the nightclub, the shorter one blends in more. I can never find the shorter one, but can usually find the taller one in the crowd. Neither can find me :-)
YMMV, but I have found this theory to be reasonably true in most situations. There are always outliers. Again, I'm not whining or complaining, just observing. I'm not the one who would rather date a tall murderer than a short nice guy :-)

I will say that I absolutely would prefer a man who is 6'6. BUT, I'm also of above average height, so a guy who is 6'6 is still only 5" taller than me...if I wear 3 or 4" heels, he's nearly my height.
So yes, I prefer a man who is above 6'3, but that doesn't mean I'm ruling out dating shorter men. Although from my experience, any guy shorter than 6' won't give me a second glance.

Unless a womens extremely tall the average women i dont think wants somebody THAT tall..
Height and muscle is linked to testosterone and food a plenty
Big boobs are linked to an estrogen dominate body

I also think face plays as much a role if were not talking extreme heights on either level..
If a guy isnt extremely short and is good looking hes gonna have more sucess then a tall average or tall ugly guy..
Just being tall alone doesnt make a guy good looking
I think your premise that 6'6" is "optimal" is wrong. Optimal for me would be in the 5'10" - 6'2" range (I'm 5'6").
Agreed. 6'6" is unusually tall. I wouldn't say it would be optimal at all.
I've dated guys ranging from 6'1" to 5'4" (I'm 5'2".) I won't deny that a guy being taller is a plus, but almost a foot and a half taller would be cartoonish.
I believe that really tall men die at a younger age than their shorter brothers. That's a check mark in the minus column from my perspective.
Plus, I imagine the grocery bills for a 6'6" man must be outrageous. I would speculate that a man that tall would spend a lot of time eating and always on the prowl for his next meal. Kind of a turn off for me.
They probably have skinny, chicken legs too.., another turn off.

What??????
My dad was 6'4", I assure you that he wasnt "on the prowl" for his next meal, nor did he have "chicken legs", he was a ranked amateur tennis player...
Most of my male relatives are over 6'2", and none of them are as you described....where did you get that claptrap?
