As a male around 5'10" I'm below average almost everywhere I go
-
Try being a five feet one black female. I face heightism and racism. But heightism is worse than racism. Because everyone seems to be a heightism. The only way is to fight it or do limb lengthening surgery.
-
5'10 isn't a bad height but It's in a range where most guys are.After 5'8 to 6'0 an inch makes a huge difference every time.
-
NH 5'10 is mediocre 5'9" is bad
-
Bs.
Anything more than 5.9 is respectable and anythimg over 5.7 is enough to live normal.
But all these topics are boring and have been discussed 100 times.
If average height people write here only to tell how sad they are because they are very tall, they write on a wrong forum.
Here we talk about LL and heightism, which has to do with short men, not average height men nor women (except very short ones, less than 5ft).
So anything else is really pointless and that kind of new topics should be banned.
We already have enough of them, write there.
And if a 5.10 male is not ok with his height, and lives in countries where average height ia not more than 5.11 (99% of countries) then he must be ugly or with a bad body overall.
Otherwise he shouldn't have any problem with any aspect of his life at that height.

Totally agree. Anything 5’7” and up is acceptable, especially if you have other things to compensate.
Women should not be part of the discussion at all if they’re 5ft or over.

unless ur from some Scandinavian country ur good at 5'10. if u suit up and put good shoes on noway u'l look shirt. u might not look ideally tall but also not shirt. 5'10 just looks perfectly average man. 5'11 to 6ft will have just a slight edge and 6' to 6'1 definetely looks tall.
but 5'10 is totaly fine dude wat u talking about
-
I always find it funny that most of the guys that are above 5'9 and want leg lengthening live in first world countries. It's funny how much little worries they have that they end up being a bunch of cry babies.

I'm not interested in dating I just hate being short and being called short
-
5'11" isn't above average anymore at least for the young population most of my 14 year oldue friends are at least 5'11"
-
I'm not planning to get ll I'm just discussing specific heights
-
5'11" isn't above average anymore at least for the young population most of my 14 year oldue friends are at least 5'11"
depends on the location too. 5'11 is technically a 6footer. forget the -1 inch cause half the ppl are wearing flat shoes and half wearing boots all the time. so imagine ur calling a 6footer 'not above average'. sounds absurd. more than 80% of world male population is below that even if u consider the ppl from 90's onwards it has to be more than 70% below that atleast. thts huge nmbers.
-
I think for the young population your only taller than 60% of people at 6 foot
-
Hey dude how did you know your aromasin from irc bio was bunk was it not doing what you expected because i bought letro but im not really feeling joint pains help
-
I think for the young population your only taller than 60% of people at 6 foot
that seems absurd. i would like to see a study on this. i doubt its that low.that is probably more applicable to Netherlands which is the second tallest country on earth and due to young population.
-
Well i find it bs that if your 5'9" your taller than 50% of people but then at 5'11" your taller thab 75% i dont knoe ive always thought that was super inflated supposedly just growing 3 inches from being at the 50th percentile and now im close to 90th definetely seems very onflated to make 6 ft sound larger than it is. Think of it this way if only 14% of people were taller than you at 6 ft 5'9" would be above average and possibly 5'8" as well we all know thats not true
-
5'11" isn't above average anymore at least for the young population most of my 14 year oldue friends are at least 5'11"
Who cares about boys? Yes, today boys are very tall and skinny like sissies.
I never cared for that kind of bodies. A real manly body is one with completely average or 1-2 inches taller height and muscular. That kind of boys you talk would never become muscular because their genes are somehow feminine.
The new generation becomes more feminine, maybe due to the hormones on foods.
Anyway, boys are boys. Real men don't care about being very tall and also, being tall doesn't equal to being attractive if you dont have a built body.
A 5.10-11 man with a triangle back, wide shoulders and some muscular arms is the ideal.
6.3 ft boys with 12 inch arms are a joke. But thats the new generation.

If we're talking about Americans they'll eventually fill in their frames with loads of fat.

Why do people keep using their friends and family as a sample size then extrapolating that to their whole country/region? I just can't understand this way of thinking. I know I've used this several times in this forum, but if I use your method I could assume 6'2+ is the average because of my cousins/friends. If your friends are 5'11-6'0 at 14-15 then they're in the 99th percentile of height at that age meaning they're 2-3 deviations from the norm.
-
I don't want to be taller to become attractive
-
Here we go with that percentile crap first off 6 ft at 14 is supposedly only the 90th percentile not 99th and also where are you getting that stathis tic from your behind, a doctor, outdated statistics? I also said 90% are at least 5'11" heck some of them are 6'7". I'm also not saying the average is that because of it I'm saying almost every non immigrant young person I see is at least that height. I think this thread wants to believe 5'10" is average because they know for some of them that's the highest they can go and hope to be good with it
-
Dude by the way you sound the surgery won't do you any more good than a psychiatrist.

ok so i saw a new study; so they took some 2000+ boys in Netherlands and all were age 17 and the average height came out as 184cm. netherlands came 2nd with boys from dinaric alps the tallest in the world at 186cm average.
so that means about 50% young boys in Netherlands just past their puberty right now are below 6'0.5 which is the second tallest country in the world.
at first thats motivating cause even the tallest country in the world houses 50% younger population tht's below 6'0.5. on the other hand almost 50% of the young boys are above 6'1. if u think about it its just wow. dam they'r eating good there.
im too lazy to find the link again and post here but if som1 insists il do so.

I usually use this site because it break downs height even into age groups if you have anything that goes into better detail and that is more reliable please post it here I've been trying to find better sources for stuff like this(hopefully your source will have a break down by age group and country) https://tall.life/height-percentile-calculator-age-country/ (https://tall.life/height-percentile-calculator-age-country/)
Also the average male in America is around 5'9.5 people usually just round up to 5'10. I have no idea where you get 90th percentile from and I'm not sure why you don't trust doctors.
-
Im not planning on getting cll at least currently
-
So i was right to some degree 6 ft is definetely not the 90th percentile likebpeople tout that percentilenis reserved for like 6'7"
-
Im gonna shut this down right now the usa average=/= average for americans you are correct the usa average is 176.5 cm but what those statistics do not tell you is that they include non fully grown children, those barely breaking 5 ft tall immigrants, ans old shrunken men it seems for straight americans the avereage is 179 cm and for young americans 5'10.75" and for young white americabs 5'11.2-5"

If you are not planning on doing the surgery why don´t you go cry to reddit and stop wasting everybody´s time.

He's not planning to get the surgery and he flat out reject stats, I wish people like this didn't exist. He doesn't post any sources and continues to make claims about the averages. How can you look at the numbers then say yup, 5'11-6'0 is average? It doesn't matter if they include old people, I don't know of any site that includes the height of children in their overall national averages. According to the cdc at August of 2016 the average adult male over the age of 20 was around 69.2in or 175.7cm. Inb4 he says doesn't matter and he spews more speculation and conjecture.

Because what they truly want to write is something along the lines of
"NOBODY CARES ABOUT HOW TALL ETHNICS ARE, WE MEAN YOUNG, WHITE PEOPLE BECAUSE THATS ALL THAT MATTERS!"
But they leave that part out because they know outside of their autistic, mental safe havens on the internet that shxt won't fly.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_average_human_height_worldwide so i just looked it up white males are 5'10.75" not even the young population and black males are 5'10-.25" itd only the hispanics and other ethinicties 5'9" and below i could pull up the youbg population averages but you guys will just disregard it

I have no idea where you're getting 5'10.75 from. When I did the math at best you get 5'10.15 from(178.2) for non Hispanic whites and this makes sense because they rounded down to 5'10 not up to 5'11. Black males were at 5'9.84 so they rounded this up to 5'10. There's no point even going into this unless you wanna go through the trouble of properly weighing the multiple demographics which could take some time. I'm feeling pretty lazy so I'll just cite the CDC again and go with their numbers for the overall average of males in the United States.
"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the average height for an adult male over age 20 in the United States is 69.2 inches (175.7 centimeters) or about 5 feet, 9 inches tall.
This number comes from data published in August 2016. The data was collected between 2011 and 2014 as part of a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
The analytic sample for this report was made up of some 19,151 people (men and women) and broken down into age groups, starting from 20 years old. Race and Hispanic origin were other reported categories. The average height of 5 feet, 9 inches takes into account all groups."
-
So you just admitted 5'9" only average when you include people like hispanics which are predominantly short
-

If we combine both black and white demographics this makes up 85% of the overall demographic in America ignoring everyone else we've established the average would still be about 5'10. With this in mind when we add Hispanics/Asian/Mexicans we only drop by .8 inches this isn't that much, but what's the point of bringing this up? It wasn't a discussion about Hispanics skewing the overall averages. This started because you said the national average was somewhere around 5'11-6'0 and that just isn't the case. Then you also said the stats take children into account and this wasn't the case either. In the link you posted they have stats for the entire nation over 20 and for people 20-29, none of these numbers even come close to 5'11 let alone 6'0. From what I can tell none of these sources take immigrants into account either, it says Mexican American/Asian American/Hispanic Americans all of these people are 5'8 or 172.3cm.

Are you trolling right now i linked one source just to shut down the bs 5'9" average
-

But your source still says the average male in American is 5'9.44inches it rounds it to 5'9.5. And the CDC is an even better source and it says 5'9.2? Why are you still trying to die on this hill? Whenever I replied to you I was replying in context to everything you've said so far.
As a male around 5'10" I'm below average almost everywhere I go
5'11" isn't above average anymore at least for the young population most of my 14 year oldue friends are at least 5'11"

Everything you've said thus far disagrees with the stats. I'm not sure why you feel so strongly about this, but when you run 6'7 in any site that has the numbers you always get 99.999999th percentile not 90th percentile(this is 3rd deviation for a 14-15 year old). You're gravely mistaken and you just won't back down. You've gone so far to even call me a troll, you aren't even addressing any of my points.

I was speaking about 6'7" for fully groan over 20 year ols it is around the 99th percentile for 14 year olds the reason im doubting this 5'9" average is because 6'3" would ve and look extremely tall to me but half the people i see or am around on a daily basis is at least 6'1" i never said 5'11"is average i just said its not really abovw average at least notably and 5'9" is definetely slightly below average at best how come i can see at least 10 men a day when out on a walk 6'6"+ when it seems every site says they would be almost impossible to find and when i see them in a crowd they look tall but not extremely tall drfinitely not the 99th percentile more like 90th 6ft for the youbg population is taller than 65% of people max

6'7 is 99.95th percentile for someone in there 20s, this means that if you're in a room of 1000 people on average 5 will be 6'7. There are well over 300 million people in this country so its not that hard to spot the occasional giant and you might live in a really well off part of the states meaning people are a bit over the average.
-
I dont live in a well off area and im mainly around blacks ans immigrants also when i say in a crowd if there are like 400 people at least 20 of them are 6'7" or taller not buying anything above the 93rd percentile
-
Also 6'7" isnt giant its very tall but not giant thats reserved for minumum 6'10" and above
-
This new wave of sissy bitvches is really ruining this forum. Dude go cry to Reddit for fuvk sake.
-
is because 6'3" would ve and look extremely tall to me but half the people i see or am around on a daily basis is at least 6'1"
according to ncbi the average for 17 y.o boys in Netherlands is around 6'0.2 and these are the 2nd tallest men on earth right now.
so tht means around 50% of them are below 6ft. so the young whites in usa should be below atleast half an inch compared to the 2nd tallest region on earth so by which 50% young whites should be below 5'11.5 dont u agree

5 in 10000
Generally, people cannot estimate their own or others height. Most guys I know that are 5 9 think they are just less than 6 foot. A true 6 7 is rare

crap, you're right. I've seen people do it wrong so often. I won't make that mistake again, thanks. Honestly, I think the majority of men lie about their height, you'd be surprised how often someone will say they're 5'8-5'9 and they'll be 2-4 inches shorter than me. I know that's going off of anecdotes, but still it's pretty common and awkward when i say I'm also 5'8. So i wouldn't be surprised if they were lying.
-
6'2'' isn't even "tall" these days. Merely above average.
Leg Lengthening is mandatory in 2018.
-
firts off im 5'10" 2nd are you trying to say im not 5'10"?
-
most people who went to the netherlands believe the average is 6'1.5" also the dinaric alps is taller than the netherlands

Exactly! anyone above 6 doing it is obviously not above 6 😂😂
-

in my experience ppl who are 5'9 either understate a bit or just say 5'9. ppl below 6ft usually don lie about their heights. its usually 6ft+ who lie about it. most of 6'0 and 6'1 i know claim to be 6'2.

Totally agree. Most self claimed 6.2 men are just a bit taller than 6ft at max in reality.
Men over 5.11,5 always exaggerate about their height for at least 1 inch.
The same happens with men less than 5.7.
The majority of 5.7 to 5.11 men don't lie about their heights, at least not more than half an inch.
-
the reason 5'9" to 5'11" guys are honest is because they hate their height and want to be honest about their height to show its not good
-

well mainly coz they know its futile to beat around the bush. ppl who are 6ft+ know tht they can get away with it coz its harder to judge their real height.
a guy i know who is not a cm more than 5'11.5 at best claims to be 6'1 everytime. he thinks i too believe it like every1 but he's got no idea im not normal and tht im a height judging machine.
