Why does this make so much sense

Overview

This relatable meme jokes about the common social perception that 5 foot 9 inch tall women look much taller than 5 foot 9 inch tall men. It uses two different size versions of the Yu-Gi-Oh! character Yugi Muto shaking hands, labeling the taller one '5'9" Girls' and the shorter matching design one '5'9" Guys'.

Origin notes

This meme originates as a viral Reddit meme, with the creator's watermark @Zach Mclinlic visible on the image. It edits existing official character art from the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise to create the height comparison joke, and has spread widely across social media as a relatable meme about height differences in perception.

This is a single-panel Gigachad meme joking about common online dating height requirements for men. The image shows an extremely muscular, towering shirtless man who states he is 5'9 (5 feet 9 inches), which falls just below the 6 foot minimum height requirement many women cite for dating. Only the top of a woman's head is visible at the bottom right of the frame, as she says the line 'sorry, I don't date guys below 6ft'. The joke, referenced by the meme's original title 'I can't even see you?', is that the man is so large and imposing that the woman can barely see him, making her arbitrary height cutoff completely meaningless despite him technically falling under her requirement.

This is a single-panel drawn meme in the popular muscular Chad meme format. It features two bearded muscular men: the shorter man on the left is labeled as 5 feet 9 inches tall. A partially visible person standing between the two men says they don't date guys below 6ft, rejecting the shorter man for not meeting the height requirement. The taller man on the right (who meets the height requirement) responds that he is going to have aggressive anal sex with the shorter 5'9 man, which completely subverts expectations: instead of the taller man getting the date, he wants the rejected shorter man, creating a crude humorous punchline that mocks strict height preferences in dating.

This is a two-panel side-by-side meme that uses an identical photograph of a blonde woman with an excited, happy open-mouthed grin in both panels. The text above the left panel reads 'guys when they see big tiddies', while the text above the right panel reads 'guys when they see small tiddies'. The joke relies on the fact that the facial expression shown is exactly the same in both scenarios, conveying the humorous message that men are equally enthusiastic and attracted to women regardless of their breast size, and appreciate breasts of all sizes equally.

A two-panel comparison meme depicting contrasting reactions to low phone battery (5%). The top panel shows a man in a light blue shirt holding a phone to his ear with a serious, focused expression, accompanied by the text 'Guys when there phone is at 5%'. The bottom panel features a woman in a dark shirt lying on a carpet, looking exhausted and distressed while clutching her phone, with the text 'Girls when there phone is at 5%'. Note the consistent typo 'there' instead of 'their' in both captions. The meme uses gender stereotypes for comedic effect, exaggerating perceived differences in how people react to low battery situations.

An anime-style digital illustration meme featuring two female characters in school uniforms (gray tops and black skirts) engaged in an arm-wrestling match against a solid pink background. The left character has short gray hair, a calm smile, and closed eyes, while the right character has long white hair, an intense scowl, and furrowed brows. Text labels identify the left character as 'People who calmly and logically argue their case' and the right character (via a speech bubble) as 'People who only insult others during arguments.' The arm-wrestling serves as a metaphor for argument dynamics, with the calm character appearing to dominate the match.

The meme opens with text at the top that reads "When I say I like big woman, this is what I mean." Below the text is an edited photograph: a man in a formal suit kneels, holding hands with a woman in a form-fitting white dress, who has been digitally altered to be far taller and more curvaceous than the man, looking down at him with a soft, affectionate smile. The joke plays on the double meaning of the phrase "big woman", which can refer to plus-size women, and also references the widely known "snu snu" trope from *Futurama*, which describes humorous, desirable intimate encounters with large, strong Amazonian women.

A meme image depicting a group of women with one central woman edited to appear significantly taller than the others. Yellow text labels indicating times (7AM, 8PM, 10PM, 11PM, 9AM, 10AM, 11AM) are positioned around the women, with morning times (7AM, 9AM-11AM) clustered near the tall central woman and evening times (8PM, 10PM, 11PM) near the shorter surrounding women. The top of the image features the text 'Men will understand,' implying a humorous commentary on men's varying attention or perception of a particular woman throughout different times of the day. The background shows an outdoor setting with trees, suggesting a casual, daytime gathering.

This is a two-panel comparison meme shared on Reddit, posing the question of how many men follow this reaction pattern. The top panel describes a scenario where a 6'5" tall man randomly insults you when you are alone on the street, paired with an image of a distressed, fearful older Kratos from the *God of War* video game franchise looking up helplessly, representing the common choice to avoid unnecessary confrontation to prevent getting hurt. The bottom panel describes a scenario where the same tall man harms your girlfriend in some way, paired with an image of a fierce, angry younger Kratos poised to attack, representing abandoning all fear to immediately defend a loved one. The joke highlights a perceived difference in men's willingness to engage in physical conflict depending on whether they or their partner are the target of harm.

This is a two-panel meme using the popular Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny format. The left panel shows a normal, pleased-looking Mr. Incredible with text above stating "woman messages back that her bodycount is "5!"", implying the viewer is initially happy with what they assume is a low number of past sexual partners. The right panel shows a darkened, unsettled uncanny version of Mr. Incredible with text above reading "you remember that she's a mathematician". The punchline relies on mathematical factorial notation: 5! (5 factorial) equals 120, so the woman's actual bodycount is far higher than the viewer initially thought, leading to the horrified, uneasy realization.
