Quote from: Bigdawg on July 03, 2019, 04:29:20 PM@knik , thanks for replying, I also wanted to say I never claimed wikipidea doesnt have accurate studies but I claimed usually when seeing a study on above average countries, you can definitley see bad methodology of the study leading to fake numbers like 6'1 for dutch and montenegro. Which leads to people having worse height neurosis
Of course, but let's see honest most people lie
each time I go to a chat group for instance, their is that moment people exchange their height, and each time the average height of the group is over 5-11 and sometimes like 6-1
of course internet let you the possibility to lie easily, but I'm sure some people lie that much even in the real life
sometimes it may just be by comparing themselves to other people or celebrities they see at TV and self-estimating
Height dysphoria completely ends at 5'9.5~.7 (176cm~177cm) for me, and you can learn how to live a happy life at 5'7 (170cm) if you stop visiting and reading these forums, and work towards building your life in all aspects.

If you stop internet
when you claim 5'9 in any forum or chat group, people will usually laugh at you

Yeah I always feel bad about being 167cm, finally measured myself accurately, and I wish I was just an inch taller or so at least, so I wouldn’t have to do 2 segments. But at least at my height it’s possible to reach 5’11 with 5.5cm/7.5cm tibias/femurs. I feel really bad for people that are 160cm and do cll just to reach my height where I already feel really short.

honestly you don't need to go to 5'11 to feel good
at 5'9 you should be perfect
but still, many girls are in the 5'9 / 5'11 segment so yes, it definitely make a difference
In some countries like Yemen or Indonesia, national average is not even 160 for male

Don't feel pity for people who are shorter. This is also a form of heightism, even if well-meaning. I understand where you're coming from, you think "I feel bad being at my height, so logically, someone who is even shorter must feel even worse". When I was younger, I used to see guys shorter than me an secretly think "I'm so sorry man, I feel your struggle", but I have realized there might be no struggle, and even if some stranger feels unhappy with his height, he might feel less unhappy than me, he might have coped a lot better or even feel good with his life? What do we know, we can't look into others' heads?
Feel bad for people being unhappy, don't feel bad for them being short.
Yet another ridiculous study here that blatantly uses surveys on insecure 18 year old highschool croatian students to claim an average of 6'2 haha
https://www.croatiaweek.com/dalmatians-now-the-tallest-18-year-olds-in-the-world/
That's exactly the one I talked about before.
However, it looks like they actually measured them:
QuoteThe measurements were conducted using two devices—a mobile stadiometer SECA 213 and a specially constructed apparatus designed for the measurement of height, sitting height and arm span. The mutual compatibility and accuracy of these devices was tested on a sample of 128 Czech high schoolers. The means measured by these two devices differed by only 0.14 cm (179.18 cm vs. 179.04 cm), and their intra-class correlation was nearly perfect (r = 0.998).
