What's the perfect height for fitness?

Depends.

Bodybuilding? probably around 5'11-6'2. Tall enough to not look undersized, and not tall enough for it to make you look like a lanklet.

For Strength? Frame is more important, short limbs and long torso.

If we are looking at fitness holistically from every perspective of life. Fitness being able to live well, procreate easily, be athletic and strong, and longevity. The answer is obviously 6ft 3 or 6ft 4 meso/ecto morphs. I say this as a 6ft 1 240lbs starting strength victim with a 350lb bench.

Tall men, lean men, who are moderatley toned, are the most attractive to women, are fit across multple spectrums, command more repsect in the work place. 6ft 3 to 6ft 4 isnt really tall enough to suffer the extreme disadvantages of pushing 7 feet. some literature may suggest they die slightly earlier, but I would rather live and die a hero than to cling to life as a manlet.

Like, my gym buddy is the ideal strength guy. 5ft 9, weighs about the same as me, benches over 400, but is bald with long torso stubby limbs and extremly wide hips.

I am too bulky for my own good and I plan on cutting once I hit my squat goals.

Truth is, most tall men who are sub 15% body fat, who train consistently but not for powerlifting, will be attractive the vast majority of the time.

I'm 6'4" so I'm going to go ahead and say that 6'4" is the optimal male height for all purposes.

Sounds about right. I always say that 6'3" is the perfect height (and I really wish I had stopped growing; doctor told me I was going to be 6'1" [he probably based it on my penis])
t. 6'5"

a) 16% is a FUCK TON of people. 16 out of 100, 8 out of 50, 4 out of 25. In a city with 100,000 males, 16-fucking-thousand of them will be 6'+
b) taller people are drawn to these threads because they are more relatable to us. why the fuck would you think a general population distribution would apply without any bias inherent in the topic?
Sometimes I forgot how stupid people are on average. s m h

If you define fitness as "being physically fit and healthy" then it doesnt matter outside of the extremes. If you define it as "having the ability to survive and reproduce" then whatever the average height is.

The White average height is 5'10 in America, so being 6'0+ is not that rare. In some countries the averwge is over 6', like in Swamp Germany.

Also,
1. The "average height is 5'10" is based on outdated stats using decades of data going back to WW2. The US average height is also reduced by spic and asian immigrants. WHITE men under age 25 average 6'.
2. When you go out in any kind of social event, and even just normally walking around during normal business hours, the men who actually go out are the more outgoing, confident and taller ones. The manlets hide at home in their goon caves.

The point being if you're out at night in a big city or at a music festival or whatever, the average WHITE male under age 25 (and probably age 40) is 6'. It's way fucking more than 16% which is absolutely ridiculous.

For athletics I would say anywhere from 6' - 6'4. Within that height range you can play pretty much any real sport, your frame will be big enough to pack on lots of muscle for strength-focused sports, and your legs will be long enough to be a fast runner. Socially, that is tall enough to at least not be short, even in tall Nordic countries, and above average everywhere else in the world. Much past 6'4, your height will start being an inconvenience as you realize the world was not designed for you.

I would say perfect height is 6'0 to 6'3 with 6'2 being the absolute peak 6'4 and above makes you look like a fucking retard and I will die on that hill, 99% of MUH 6'4 and above always look like shit with shit proportions. Im 6'1 no shoes mid day and I feel fucking huge every time I go out. There is height and then there is "zoomer height" which is always about 3 inches taller than what they actually measure. Everyone notices you are always wearing AF1s too btw you subhuman fags.

This I'm 6'4-5 and should get reverse leg lengthening surgery. If I chopped off 2-3 inches of legs I'd be much better proportioned
That's most tall guys but some are actually just scaled up versions of regular guys rather than lanklets and those guys have it made

They don't. Roids is the only way most lanklets can look proportional.

>What's the perfect height for fitness?
It really depends on what kind of fitness you're talking about
6'4+: Optimal for sports where height is important obviously or strength sports if untested, but in most cases you will have difficulty filling out your frame naturally and may be more injury prone
6' to 6'3: optimal for mogging irl, taller than most people but still able to achieve a muscular build naturally with a bit of effort
5'8 to 5'11: Good all rounder for strength and explosiveness.
5'5 to 5'7: Good for bodyweight relative strength, can easily learn impressive calisthenics skills
<=5'4: Best for posting physique on social media, just make sure no one else is in frame
