Quote from: 6cm on October 08, 2015, 11:39:24 PMI can tell you that im 5.8 barefoot and i wear nike airmax and when im in LA i feel short when i go in a shop, supermarket, etc.
i think that i would have to be at least 5.10 to feel normal here because i dont see many 5.9 dudes. I mean most guys are 5.10 thats really the average.
( i feel short compared to white people and im white, but with mexicans and asians i dont feel so short)

in italy ( my country of origin ) i felt short even when i was living there. Not as bad as LA because most guys are 5.9 there. If i reach 180cm, a weak 5.11, i would be at the beginning of tall.


it doesnt mean that if you are 5.7 you cant have a decent life, yesterday i saw a dude at ralphs (5.7) that was shorter than me and was with a hot girl (5.4  5.5 ) i think that when you are 5,7 or 5,8 you will get labelled as short but you wont get the discrimination that people get when they are under those heights.

agree with this 100%

Agreed on all fronts. I am 5'8" barefoot at night, and the only time I feel close to average is when I wear my Nike Airmax. In other words, at 5'8" (or just below average), another inch or two makes a big difference. I feel like a lot of guys I pass on a daily basis just barely edge me out (they're in the 5'9-5'10 range). I'm sure at 5'9" I'd still feel short a good amount of the time, but to me, that last inch is crucial. I'd love to be 5'10", but I think I can live with 5'9". I'd be 5'10 ish in most regular shoes, and over that with sneakers (like Nike Airmax).

so when 1 random guy on a forum says 5 8 is short then its short then?

lol

i respect your opinion, i just disagree with it, you however disagree with me and dont respect my opinion.

why can't you grasp that many of the 20% of men in the room that are 5 7-5 8 don't feel short and are happy?


notice that i respect that you feel short or discriminated against at your height of 5 11, i disagree with it but if your mind truly believes that then i wont try to change that, i hope you can respect that some men dont feel short/discrimnated against at a height you consider to be a short or get discrimation.

im not saying anything about how people feel, if someones happy at 5'7 then thats great, but its still short.. you're completely missing the point of the whole argument.. my argument is saying that 5'7 is labelled short, you're now saying that some people will be happy with their height at 5'7 which doesnt mean that it isnt short.. every single person i know that is 5'7 and has a good social life, with a big group of friends, is always labelled the short guy, so to say that 5'7 isnt short is completely false..

didn't you say you've been labbeled 'short' plenty of times at 5' 11 1/4"?

i also know plenty of guys who are 5 7, none are ever called short, usually it's guys about 5 5, for example if you name is john and you are 5 5 people may call you 'little john', but i have never heard anyone say anything short related to a 5 7 man.

yes i have been called short plenty of times at my original height, but thats aLL Forumrom certain perspectives.. but it doesnt mean its short.. which is my point... just because someone says or feels a certain height is short or not short doesnt mean it is/isnt.. the facts are facts, 5'5 is very short, 5'7 is short, 5'9,5'10 is average, 5'11 above average 6'0-6'1 average tall 6'2/6'3 tall 6'4+ very tall.. it doesnt matter what your or my opinion on a certain height is, you cant escape the facts, and they are the facts.. but if you feel 5'7 is not short than good for you, all im saying is it isnt, thats not just my opinion thats the truth..

where are you getting these 'facts' from, i can link 2 articals that say 5 7 is not short and 5 6 is within normal boundries

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2080771/Would-spend-34-000-3-INCHES-taller-Thomas-Keeper-thigh-bone-sawn-half-spent-months-hobbling-frame.html

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2105995/The-agonising-expensive-leg-lengthening-proceedure-surgery-patient-SIX-INCHES-taller.html

also the short and male documentary had mainly 5 4 men, not one 5 7 man was on there, and there are two other documentaries about being short and only featured men 5 5 and under.



overal it's debatable whether short is 5 7 and under or 5 6 and under, i tend to think the latter, based on articals and observations.

if 5,7 werent short, PUTIN would not be considered so.

microman.. it shows you dont have a very good social life.. if you had a normal social life and were around lots of people, and had lots of friends, u would know 5'7 is short.. your problem is you have no experience in the real world.. youre in a fantasy land and only live from behind your computer.. its obvious when meeting you in person, you dont have the social skills or the experience of being in social environments often enough to even be one to discuss this topic accurately .. you are finding any way to believe that 5'7 isnt short.. your not kidding anyone but yourself.. just give up with trying to argue with me that 5'7 isnt short, because in the real world it is.. not some fantasy land that you are living in..

lol Descreteuser...love ya to death, and I agree with you 100% (even though you're kinda a jerk )

I think it goes like this:

5'6" and below - life sucks. You're very short.
5'7" - still quite short, but somewhat passable.
5'8" - high short. But still short. Mediocre at best.
5'9" - low end of average. You mostly blend in, but very dependent on who's around.
5'10" - dead on average.
5'11" - high average. You might get called "tall" sometimes by short girls (you can claim 6ft easily).
6' - 6'1" - low tall
6'2" - tall. A great height.
6'3" - 6'4" - very tall. Amazing height if you can fill your frame.
6'5"+ - too tall
