Ideal height and weight to clean up with girls at bars/clubs?
A few of us were discussing this in our pod, for reference we're all WASPy preppy guys that did varsity sports (rugby/crew/lacrosse) in undergrad.
A couple of us said that the height range that does the best on nights out is 6'5-6'7, where you're tall enough to look downright dominant and menacing in a crowded room, while not being too tall to the point of being a freakshow. At 6'5-6'7, you're most likely the tallest in a relatively busy bar or dance floor of 150-200 people, while having a good frame and proportions to put on muscle mass. You can easily get to 280lb at under 15% bodyfat without PEDs or sacrificing flexibility/aesthetics.
One guy said that unless you're planning on attracting girls with a height fetish, the best height is 6'3ish as long as you have a good face and athletic build.
Another guy said that the bigger the better, you should stand out even in a NBA/NFL locker room (6'10+, 350lb+).
Personally, I think the ideal height and weight would be a solid 6'7 and 300lb, this is the cutoff where you'll intimidate 99% of drunk guys trying to fight you, as well as bully the bouncers who are typically in the 6'3-6'5 range.
In the rare event that you get in a fight with a NFL/NBA athlete, you'll be able to hold your own as well, given the NBA average is 6'6 245lb and the NFL average is 6'2 245lb. NFL linemen might give you a bit of trouble though, as they average 6'4 280lb. This is statistically unlikely given that there's only around active 300 NFL linemen in the country.
You might also have a bit of trouble if larger heavyweight UFC fighters or boxers try to fight you, since they go up to 265lb, so you only have a 35lb weight advantage which doesn't offset a sizeable skill gap. You should be able to dominate LHW and below fighters due to the sheer weight and height discrepancy though.
Based on previous WSO threads, here's a summary of the discussion around height and weight for attracting girls at bars/clubs:

Practical Considerations:
In summary, while opinions vary, a height of around 6'5"-6'7" and a weight of 280-300lb with a low body fat percentage is often considered ideal for standing out and attracting attention in social settings like bars and clubs.

How tall were your friends in this situation and how good are they with women? As a tall dude who cleaned up at bars in his single days, definitely have some thoughts on this.
In reality this question should be two parts. What is best height, and what is ideal build. If you can wave a wand and be 6'5 , lean, jacked, 230-240, head full of hair, handsome and approachable face, good jawline, etc. then sure. But that requires a lot of other things to go well besides your build. Make that guy bald and he is probably scaring more chicks than bringing home. Overall the best all around build for women, and life, is ~6'2 and ~210lbs or so lean
As a 6'2 210lbs lean guy, thank you. I will be sure to show girls at the bar this comment next time I am trying to spit game - maybe they will like me more then
This comment, along with the original post, are gayest thing Ive read today
learn to be more confident in yourself and not ashamed in your masculinity and you might actually get laid more often
I personally think that 7'11" is the ideal height as when the chick leaves in the morning your catch phrase could be "thank you, come again."
I remember in my online dating days seeing some women (a lot of women) put in ranges like 5'11" to 7'11"+. A good number of women have zero problem with their circus freak husband dying at 44 (for a lot of women that's probably more of a pro than a con).

Obviously, this is a troll post. To get girls you need to be good looking, personable or both. When you are young, the good looking part is the most important aspect. If you are 5'11 and very good looking, you are going to get way more girls than if you are 6'4 and average looking. There is not much of a natural fix for ugly.
