How do you think this would impact your life, and what would you do to maximize your market value?

it would immediately greatly enhance every single aspect of life, especially in the dating market.  an average looking 5'6 guy has virtually zero chance with women but an average looking 6'5 man will have to beat the women off with a stick and tall women who are disgusted with short guys will think he is an adonis and fight over his attention.

I honestly would never want to be that tall. Sneakers, clothing, everything would cost way more.

6'5 with my current physique would be insane. I don't think I'd want to stand out that much. At heights above 6'2, you are really noticeable and intimidating to many. I wouldn't want that to be a part of my persona.

i don't understand the men here who claim that they would not want to be 6'5 instead of their current height.  it would be like claiming you don't want to win the powerball lottery because then you would owe all of the taxes.

it is pretty much certain that living even a week as a tall man would result in an astounding difference in how i was treated by both men & women as i can't think of anything which would improve my own quality of life as much as being taller &/or more physically attractive.

That's because there are plenty of short men who are comfortable with themselves. What I did say though is that if there were some "magic pill" that could make me taller, 6'5 is not the height that I would pick.

the problem is that it does not matter what a man thinks of himself-what matters is what others think of him so in the case of dating it's only what the women he is attracted to think about him that is important.  a man who is very comfortable with himself, has high self esteem and confidence will still have no success unless he passes the looks test.  meanwhile, a tall, good looking man can be self loathing yet have a plethora of women after him.  

i agree that 6'5 is pretty tall but i would take it over my 5'6 in a second and never look back.  i have lost count of the # of average at best looking but very tall guys i see that have attractive partners due to their extreme height.  in my experience, asian & black women seem especially prone to value a mans height over all else.

But what if the man in question doesn't care what others think of him and doesn't care to have "a bunch" of women after him? Did you think about that? That's the difference.

if he is fine being single & alone his whole life, then it's fine to not care what anyone else thinks of him.  if, however, he seeks human connection & intimacy then what others think about him is paramount to his success. 

it's not a matter of having many women interested in him but instead the fact that not a single one he is attracted to finds him attractive because he lacks the inherent physical characteristics required to compete in the modern dating market.

One can go on with their lives, be rejected by a woman and then just move on from that sting, not caring what the mass of people think, only focusing on themselves, people they get along with and working toward the next pursuit.

When you say "not a single one he is attracted to finds him attractive". NO. That is strictly your own personal experience. Being shorter does not mean no one is attracted to you, nor does it mean that no one you're attracted to won't be attracted to you. That is defeatist. Is it hard? Yes. Are you putting time into pursuing and not putting all of your eggs in one basket? Probably not. Do you have a narrow threshold of what you find attractive? I bet.

Would it be packs of women chasing you down to sleep with you? I doubt it because many of my friends who are 6'+ get zero play. So how you would your life change in a way that you wouldn't have to work as hard to achieve something as you do now because you believe your height is holding you back?

With me it would be not having to put up with being accused of "little man syndrome", so purely psychological. I think I'd also feel more confident.
