Most girls won't date a guy over 6'3", if you go outside LL forums you will see that guys 6'3+ complain that girls get intimidated by their height in a bad way.
Quote from: endomorphisme on February 25, 2015, 09:42:04 PMthere is no way the average is 5'9" in your country, it's already average in the us, how are asian taller than american?
When i walk in the Chinese district in Paris, i'm always one of the tallest.I feel like a monster sometimes, this is crazy.When i want to boost my ego, i go there and i can see how big and tall i'am haha
I cannot imagine how i will look here after ll, not human i guess
I used to feel "average" when walking in an Asian neighborhood near where I live, lol. And I was a little over 5'5".
Also, there are MANY girls who crave guys over 6'3" (up to about 6'5" ish as the max). They are called "size Queens," and trust me, they exist.
You'd think the average in the US is the average everywhere based on the forum. Like people living in India claiming the average height is over 5'7 there, when at 5'5 I was taller than half the guys I saw - Dr Parihar towered over everybody around him at 6'2.
I think it has to do with visualizing everyone as taller than they are because your eye level is inches below your total height.

My country (and Korea) is different from Japan, some parts of Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, india, Indonesia, etc. (we are the second highest height in Asia, I think the first is korea, at 173 cm)
What happens is that due to having the same GDP per capita as America, I think the average height of young people has went up. If you go to ANY university here, you would be tempted to say the average is 175. The official statistics for the whole population is 172.4 cm but I think, due to better nutrition etc in the last few decades, if you go to any Singapore university, the average is at least 175.
175 is very common here, so is 178. 180-185 is pretty common here too. If you walk about a few minutes, you will at least see a few guys who are 180-185 cm.
Above 185 cm is pretty rare, maybe you see a few of such guys In a single day outside.
You should go to Korea or Singapore to have a look yourself.
Just a random sampling of guys < 28 years old on dating app (16 males) & yeap they usually put their own height unlike westerners who inflate heights (if there is inflation it is usually 1-2 cm to hit 170 cm)

I came across a few 180-185 dudes but I excluded them as they were more than 30 years old.
178++, even 180 is very common here. But the short guys (ie, 165-ish they pull down our national average). 182-185, there will be quite a few. Just walk a minute in a busy mall.

Indian males average height Is 165, Singapore is at about 171-172 cm (officially, but I've grave doubts its off by 3 cm for the younger generation). Big difference
Our leaders, prime minister Is 185 cm, and the previous one was 187 cm (mr Goh). Before that, Mr Lee Kuan Yew was 180+.

this a very small sample, so it can't be representative, but if those are height are the most occuring , i can tell you that "singaporese" (correct me if i'm wrong) are short.The tallest is only 183 cm.
At my engineering school, there is one guy in five who is atleast 185 cm...it's hardly comparable
In my school about 1 out of 10 or 1 out of 15 is above 185 cm. Our average is probably not too far from America's.
And nope, I have taken larger samples. 175, 178, 180 is very common. But in this small sample 16x guys failed to feature. It is quite common to have 165-170 cm also.
The average Singaporean male is probably about 4 cm shorter than the average amercian
And screw averages cause the short guys everywhere bring the national average down
If you walk along Korean street of apgujeong, at least 15 to 20% Are above 180!

What exactly do you think "average height" means?
I just went down to buy some ketchup and I was the second shortest man in the entire store at 179CM even though I wore my thickest boots. Get on my level brah.
